Chapter 346
The deeper the involvement, the more susceptible to getting hurt…
A flicker of profound understanding passed through the man’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
He got up and pushed her wheelchair toward the garden, no longer continuing the previous topic, “When your leg gets a bit better, I’ll take you on a vacation to see the maple leaves, how does that sound?”
His sudden change of topic made An Ruo breathe a sigh of relief, yet she felt somewhat disappointed.
Is that it, then? No more talk?
She always felt that Tang Yuchen intentionally avoided the topic, unwilling to delve deeper into matters of the heart.
Bowing her head to hide the dimness in her eyes, she faintly agreed, which was taken as consent.
That afternoon’s ambiguous confession seemed just a trivial interlude that did not enhance the intimacy between them.
However, An Ruo had become more docile towards him, and he had become much gentler towards her.
Actually, getting along with such mutual respect was quite nice.
But human hearts are never easily satisfied, always greedy.
Having acquired a bit, they want more, and more, until everything belongs to them before they are content.
An Ruo was a greedy person, she hoped to see Tang Yuchen be even better to her.
If he was better to her, she would be even better to him.
She was more hopeful that they could fall in love, as a marriage with love was indeed blissful…
However, Tang Yuchen’s attitude towards her was merely gentle.
As for deep affection, he had not stepped forward in that direction at all.
An Ruo’s feelings were timid, if he did not step forward, she never dared to step forward either, only enduring the agony of standing still.
————
Before they knew it, winter had come, and An Ruo’s fractured bones had mostly healed.
If it were just ordinary fractures, she would have been able to stand and walk by now.
But she simply couldn’t stand up.
Her lower legs seemed to have no strength at all, let alone stand up, there wasn’t even any sensation.
In the hospital, Liang Weiming tapped her knee with a small hammer, eliciting no response.
“Do you feel anything?” he asked her.
An Ruo shook her head gloomily, “No.”
Liang Weiming, seeing her low spirits, comforted her, “Don’t worry, your nerves and muscle tissues aren’t necrotic. As long as you keep up with the rehabilitation, you’ll be able to stand.”
“Uncle Liang, you don’t have to deceive me. Please tell me the truth, will I never be able to stand again?” An Ruo asked softly.
Tang Yuchen frowned slightly, “Would Uncle Liang lie to you? Don’t doubt his medical skills.”
“Exactly, young lady, I wouldn’t lie to you. If I say you can stand, then you will be able to stand,” Liang Weiming affirmed with a smile.
A flicker of hope rose in An Ruo’s heart.
Perhaps she really could stand up again.
Since her bones had healed, Liang Weiming arranged a series of rehabilitation tasks for her.
Every day, An Ruo mustered her strength to pull herself up, attempting to walk.
Grasping the handrail, she trembled as she rose upright, but her feet that touched the ground seemed nonexistent, giving her no sense of a proper foothold.
Her arms weren’t strong enough to support her body, and she was about to fall halfway through rising.
Tang Yuchen caught her in time, steadying her to stand straight, “Don’t be nervous, first learn to stand up, then gradually learn to walk.”
“But my legs feel nothing.”
“Practice hard, and you will slowly recover their sensory abilities.”
“Okay,” An Ruo nodded. To stand up, she had to endure the pain!
With Tang Yuchen’s help, she walked for a few minutes, but was so exhausted that she was dripping with sweat and felt utterly drained.
