Chapter 555: 555
Qiao Lian’s face was as pale as before, but her right hand had stopped trembling even though it was still weak .
It was hard to imagine how much her frail body had endured in life .
And what about him?
At the time she would have needed him the most, he had not been by her side .
Even eight years after that… when they met again, he had wanted to take revenge, hit her, harm her .
Right at this moment, Shen Liangchuan felt downright ashamed of himself .
Despite the fact that there were others in the room, he just could not bear this sudden urge to walk to her and hold her tightly in his arms .
Fortunately .
Fortunately, she was still alive and kicking .
Qiao Lian gave the man before her a stunned look .
What was wrong with Shen Liangchuan?
As she held her trembling hand against her chest, although she had not spoken a word, one could sense her post-traumatic stress .
The way he was holding and pressing her tightly in his embrace was, strangely, somewhat heartbreaking .
Was it because her hand…?
All at once, Qiao Lian turned white .
She coughed once and pushed Shen Liangchuan away, asking, “What’s wrong?”
She forced a smile . “Actually my fingers can function perfectly fine for day-to-day living . Even if it doesn’t get any better, it’s alright . After all, I’m old! If I continued gaming after the age of 25, it would be past my golden period and people will think it’s a joke . I’ll just focus on being a coach from now on and that’s not too bad . ”
This self-mockery was saddening to hear .
Indeed, the golden period for a gamer was below the age of 25 . But she had missed out on those eight years .
Her dreams were getting further and further away .
Shen Liangchuan felt all the more bitter .
Moving her aside, he suddenly looked at Dr . Zhao and said, “You must heal her hand . ”
Sighing, Dr . Zhao said, “I’ll try my best . ”
As the X-ray film would take half an hour to process, they sat waiting in the office .
Dr . Zhao walked up to Qiao Lian and carefully examined her hand, asking some related questions .
Dr . Zhao finally said after beating around the bush, “Ms . Qiao, have you been in Beijing all this time?”
Qiao Lian nodded .
“Eh… After you left, your uncle and his family kept looking for you . ”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Lian pursed her lips and did not speak .
Dr . Zhao continued, “They looked rather pitiful . They used to depend on you for living . After the tragedy struck, their home and belongings were all confiscated . Your cousin dropped out of junior high school, now she’s grown-up and independent . The toughest part is over . ”
Finally, something seemed to have stirred her emotions . She pursed her lips and said, “How is my uncle doing health-wise?”
Shen Liangchuan raised an eyebrow when he heard this question .
She had asked about her uncle, but made no mention of her aunt or her cousin .
“He’s quite well . ” Dr . Zhao said .
He made her clench her fingers . “How does that feel?”
Qiao Lian frowned and said, “It’s sore and weak . It feels out of control . ”
Dr . Zhao frowned .
Shen Liangchuan asked, “How is it?”
Dr . Zhao sighed . “Let’s wait until the examination report is out . ”
At this point, a young nurse walked in with a laboratory test form and handed it over to Dr . Zhao .
Dr . Zhao held up the form and looked at the X-ray for a long time . Then, he put down the form and looked up .
Before he could speak, Shen Liangchuan asked again impatiently, “How is it? Can you heal her hand?”
After these words, Qiao Lian looked at Dr . Zhao, her eyes full of hope .
