Much thinner than she had imagined!
Brian trembled and held Valda even tighter.
“It’s not you who should apologize, it’s me. I couldn’t find you and
I put you in danger!” Brian murmured, and after a while, he finally let go of her and looked at Valda carefully.
His fingers, slightly trembling, touched her face, her eyebrows, and then her hair. “Your hair… it’s shorter now.”.
“Because short hair… is easier to manage,” Valda bit her lip and said. At that time, Lisa took care of her very hard, and her long hair became a burden. Cutting it short was the most convenient option.
His gaze slowly moved downwards, and suddenly his pupils shrank as he stared at the crutch under her armpit. “What’s wrong? Are you injured?”
Valda’s body stiffened and instinctively recoiled, trying to step back.
However, because Brian had his arm around her waist, she couldn’t even move away even if she wanted to.
“It’s…it’s nothing…” she said in a fluster.
“I’ll take a look.” He looked worried and anxious as he immediately crouched down and tried to lift
Valda’s long skirt to take a look.
But Valda stumbled backwards a few steps and said, “Don’t look, there’s…nothing worth seeing.”
“Valda, let me have a look. I want to know how your injury is doing!” Brian said anxiously. “Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you. I just want to take a look. If your injury hasn’t been treated properly, then I’ll take you to the hospital right away for further treatment…”
He approached her again as he spoke, wanting to pull up her skirt to get a better look.
Valda, however, wanted to avoid it even more.
“Brian, please… don’t look, don’t look at my legs, okay?” Valda stuttered nervously.
But the more she acted this way, the more it made him worry.
Suddenly, Valda’s foot slipped and she fell backwards, dropping her cane to the ground.
As she was about to fall, Brian quickly stepped forward and caught Valda, saying “Be careful.” He then picked her up and gently placed her on the nearby sofa, telling her to sit down.
Then he knelt down in front of her, with a gentle and cautious look in his eyes, and said, “Valda, let me see your injury. If I don’t see it,
I won’t be able to rest easy. It’s been a year, and you finally appear in front of me, but you still have injuries on your body. How could I not look at your injury?”
At that moment, he didn’t even ask why she came back or why she didn’t come to see him. He wondered why he had to find out about her return from Camille, and if Camille hadn’t mentioned it today, would he have had to wait even longer to find out?
He kept all these questions to himself at the moment, and only wanted to know how serious her injury was.
Valda tightly bites her lower lip, and her hands hanging by her side grip the hem of her skirt tightly.
Her legs…often she didn’t even want to look at them herself, feeling that they were so ugly…and now, this ugly part of her was going to be seen. Seen by the man she cared about the most!
But… sooner or later, he will see it, won’t he?
Now, it’s just a little early. Valda kept repeating to herself in her mind.
This time, Brian lifted up her long skirt. She didn’t resist anymore, but instead stiffened her body and let him pull up her skirt.
He saw a slightly deformed leg that looked noticeably different from a normal leg, and even had a gruesome scar on it.
Brian was shocked as he looked at Valda’s right calf. He knew very well what her leg used to look like.
And now, it has become like this!
“It’s quite ugly, isn’t it…” Valda said awkwardly, “Actually…there’s nothing really nice about it. Sometimes, even I don’t feel like looking at it.”
“Am I ugly?” he hesitated, but the shape of her legs and the fierce scars on them told him of the pain she had endured.
Originally, she didn’t have to endure such pain at all! And all this pain is because of him!
“Okay, stop looking,” Valda thought as she tried to cover her legs again with her long skirt.
But Brian took a step ahead and held her hand, then lowered his head and kissed her slightly deformed calf and the gruesome scar on her leg.
“I’m sorry for causing you so much pain, I’m sorry…” He choked up, his voice already hoarse.
Valda’s body suddenly became extremely stiff, and she just stared straight ahead at the man in front of her. He closed his eyes and kissed her calf almost reverently, while she felt an intense heat where he had kissed her.
My heart rate has become so fast that it feels like with every beat, my heart is about to jump out of my throat.
Stop jumping! Don’t jump so vigorously anymore!
This will only make her more reluctant!
“I…I’m fine now, it’s not a big deal. Besides, you didn’t cause this injury, so you don’t need to apologize to me,” murmured Valda.
Brian finally lifted his head and opened his eyes again, saying, “Now I’ll take you to the hospital and find a specialist to examine your injury.”
“No… no need, I’ve already seen a doctor for my injury!”
murmured Valda.
At that time, she lost her ID card, so she borrowed Lisa’s relative’s daughter’s ID card to go to a big hospital for a check-up. However, the final result was extremely disappointing.
And the person who examined her injury at that time was also an expert. The expert only expressed regret and said that her injury had been left untreated for too long, and some of the nerves had already lost their function. In addition, the bone fracture at that time was not properly treated, so now it’s too late for everything.
Late, so from now on, she can only be a cripple.
“What did the doctor say?” Brian asked.
“The doctor… just said that my leg is going to be like this…” She tried to downplay her pain with a casual tone.
He frowned and asked, “What do you mean by ‘that’s it’?”
“In the future… let it be like this.” She murmured, but then a smile appeared on her face. “But at least,
I’m still alive now, and I can use one leg to exchange for my life. I think it’s worth it. Before, I thought I was going to die for sure, so being alive is better than anything else.”
He looked at her smile, but his heart felt a sourness.
Yes, as long as she’s alive, that’s better than anything else!
But why should she have to endure everything? Why can’t these wounds fall on him instead?
“I’ll take you to the hospital!” said Brian, lifting Valda up horizontally.
“Brian! I…I don’t want to go to the hospital,” Valda hurriedly said. “I don’t need to go to the hospital right now!”
“Valda, please let me take you to the hospital and have the doctor
A
check you again, okay?” Brian pleaded, “I don’t know who the doctor was that treated you before, but I will find a doctor to examine you again. I won’t let your leg be left like this!”
Valda froze, unable to refuse as if the words were stuck in her
Brian held Valda and left Camille’s apartment on his own, quickly walking down the stairs.
A black sedan is waiting downstairs.
He carried her into the car and instructed the driver in the front seat to go to the hospital.
On the way, he gave orders to his subordinates to arrange for experts to consult with Valda at the hospital later.
Valda was nervously tugging at her skirt hem when Brian’s hand covered hers. “Don’t worry, I’ve got everything under control!”
She lifted her head and met his ink-black phoenix eyes, which were filled with nothing but her in that moment.
“Valda, don’t worry. Whatever happens, I will help you solve it. Just stay by my side and I will do everything to protect you in the future!” He spoke with such assurance.
Valda’s nose feels sour and her eyes are slowly becoming moist.
She quickly lowered her head, avoiding his gaze.
And he, all along the way, held her hand tightly without ever letting go.
When the car arrived at the hospital, Brian carried Valda out of the car and brought her to the examination room. Experts from the orthopedic and neurology departments of the hospital began to diagnose Valda’s condition.
Valda took a video and underwent an MRI, but the final expert consultation result was disappointing, as Grace was the cause of
1.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Hart. Miss Theller has several nerves in her leg that have already died. Additionally, her leg had a previous fracture and was immobilized with a cast, but it seems that the doctor at the time did not handle it properly. As a result, her leg bone healed crookedly. If we were to perform surgery on her leg now, the outcome may not be good and there would be a significant risk. It’s possible that her lower leg may completely die, and amputation would be the only option.”
The expert doctor spoke to Brian, and his face changed color. “Is there no way to cure it?” Brian asked.
“With the current medical methods, it is difficult to treat her leg, and at least our hospital cannot achieve such a level,” the expert replied, without making any definitive statements.”
But the orthopedics department of this hospital is the top orthopedics department in tMason
Swansonty. The doctors who consulted with Valda are well-known among orthopedic experts nationwide!
The consultation result is beyond doubt!
Brian’s face became extremely ugly, but Valda smiled slightly at him as if she had already expected it.
“It’s okay, Brian. I don’t rely on my legs to make a living anyway. At least my hands are fine, and I can still draw comics in the future!”
Brian squatted down and said, “Valda, I will find other doctors to help you and find a way to cure your legs!”
She lowered her eyes gently, but she had no hope for her legs anymore. The consultation just now made her understand this fact once again.
“Brian, I want to go back.” Valda said.
“Okay, let’s go back.” He said, holding her again and leaving the hospital.
However, after getting in the car, the car did not drive towards
Camille’s place, but went straight to his villa.
“I’ll just stay at Camille’s place!” Valda said anxiously. She was not ready to face him yet.
