Chapter 140: Just Pain, Not Amnesia
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Wu Sancai woke up, Lu Haiqiao was standing outside the ward talking to the deputy director of the First People’s Hospital.
In the afternoon, she called Lu Yange on WeChat and roughly explained the situation. Then, her reliable cousin found the associate hospital director, who was an orthopedic specialist, to be in charge of Wu Sancai’s surgery.
Lu Haiqiao heard movement in the ward and hurriedly pushed open the door that was ajar.
Seeing that Wu Sancai had woken up, she turned to the deputy director and said, “I’ll discuss it with my teacher first. We’ll talk about it after the plan is decided.”
The deputy director nodded and said, “Rest well.” Then, he left.
Wu Sancai, who had woken up, was very weak. When he saw Lu Haiqiao, he squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying. “Haiqiao, sorry to trouble you…”
Lu Haiqiao pulled a chair from the side and sat down without saying a word.
Meeting her gaze, Wu Sancai turned his head guiltily.
In the VIP ward, only the air conditioner made a buzzing sound.
A few seconds later, Lu Haiqiao said, “How do you feel?”
Wu Sancai kept looking at the other side. “My legs hurt, my waist hurts, my head hurts… Well, my entire body hurts.”
From his tone, he seemed to be in good spirits.
Lu Haiqiao deliberately dragged out her tone. “It’s just pain. You didn’t lose your memory, right?”
Hearing this, Wu Sancai was stunned.
What was wrong with this girl? If he had lost his memory, would he still call her “Haiqiao” when he woke up?
Without waiting for him to reply, Lu Haiqiao dragged the chair forward. “Since you haven’t lost your memory, give me your daughter’s contact information. I think she should be by your side at this time.”
Hearing the word “daughter”, Wu Sancai panicked.
After a few seconds of silence, he stammered, “My daughter, she… she… she went back. She’s not in the country now. Even if I tell her, she won’t be able to rush back right away. Forget it, don’t say anything. I don’t want her to worry.”
“Alright, then we won’t tell her.” Lu Haiqiao didn’t linger on this topic. Instead, she changed to the next subject. “Do you know that you have a double fracture of the tibia and fibula on your right side? We’re going to arrange for surgery now. The doctor is asking you if you want to use an endothelial nail or a steel plate surgery?”
“So O broke his leg…” Wu Sancai muttered. “No wonder my legs hurt so much..
“Yes, you broke your legs.” Lu Haiqiao’s voice was neither warm nor cold. “We were going to have tea, and there’s an elevator in your building. How did you fall down the stairs?”
Wu Sancai looked up at the ceiling. “I took the stairs because the elevator suddenly lost power. I’m old and my legs aren’t flexible. I accidentally tripped.” “Oh, I see…” Lu Haiqiao nodded as if she understood.
Seeing that she didn’t look suspicious, Wu Sancai quickly said, “That’s it. It was an accident…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Haiqiao asked, “What about your walking stick?
“In the afternoon, I went to your house to take a look. The walking stick you usually use is in the corner of the living room. Don’t tell me that after you fell down the stairs, the walking stick ran home on its own?
“Or perhaps you suddenly don’t need a walking stick to help you walk?
“Sir, I’m twenty-four years old, not four!” Wu Sancai was speechless.
This girl was so smart that it was scary!
