Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife
Chapter 1334: Mother’s Relic (10)
"I won’t be bored." The little monkey pouted. As long as he’s with mom and dad every day, he’ll never be bored.
Lingxin said very politely, "Thank you, brother." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Anthony’s face beamed with a sunny smile, holding the hand of one little monkey, he helped them into the car, and confidently promised, "I’m always Xiaobai Xiao Xiaobai’s number one fan."
Xiao Yebai and Zang Xiaolian personally checked the car’s condition. Looking back to see where his wife was, he noticed she was with his brother-in-law, so Dabaibai held back.
Ou Yanan found it hard to speak.
From his expression these past two days, Gu Nuan had actually started to suspect, so she asked, "Is there something you’re hiding from me?"
"No," Ou Yanan turned back and said quietly.
"Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, everyone knows you want to be a good doctor." As Gu Nuan said this, she recalled the shadow of him risking his life to enter the surgery room, and a lingering sense of fear remained in her heart.
Later that day, he realized it was he himself who had scared her. Ou Yanan’s expression wavered as he said, "Rest assured, no matter what, I won’t let anything happen to me, because I know there are many who need me to take care of them."
Not only her, but also Ou Chunhua receiving treatment back home.
Back in the domestic front, the news regarding Zhao Mengjin’s hand fracture was indeed kept from those overseas. On one hand, whether Zhao Mengjin’s hand could be healed remained uncertain. Secondly, given Zhao Mengjin’s status as a genius musician, if this news got out, the worldwide sensation it would cause would be enough to make others shy away.
On the day of the incident, Mrs. Zhao was with her granddaughter. She only learned of her granddaughter’s sudden accident after waking. According to Zhao Mengjin herself, she had accidentally fallen and her hand, trying to find a place for support, pressed into the wrong spot, resulting in a fracture.
The suddenness of the accident caught Mrs. Zhao off guard. Moreover, Mrs. Zhao herself suffered from Alzheimer’s disease; when she first woke up, she even forgot who had come with her or that Zhao Mengjin was her granddaughter.
Thus, it was left to Mrs. Xiao to manage the situation.
Mrs. Xiao rushed to the hospital at the first opportunity, but was unsure whether to immediately inform the Zhao Family about the situation. Since the accident happened at their place, it essentially held her, the elder, accountable.
Zhao Mengjin could sense Mrs. Xiao’s embarrassment and therefore suggested waiting a few days to see the result of the surgical treatment before deciding. Her surgery was conducted the day her hand fractured, entering surgery promptly for the bone and nerve operation.
The surgery lasted nearly six hours, with doctors being extremely cautious due to the involvement of the injured hand’s nerve.
Under local anesthesia, Zhao Mengjin remained very conscious throughout the entire surgery, aware that the man had not set foot in her operating room even once, whether out of guilt or other reasons, she could not say.
Except for the moment she heard his furious outburst after the initial examination, subsequently, even in the two days post-operation, she had yet to see his trace. Mrs. Xiao couldn’t help but personally seek out Tang Sili for an explanation of what was going on.
Perhaps due to Mrs. Xiao’s urging, he could no longer ignore the situation.
Finally, on the morning round that day, he showed up.
Zhao Mengjin looked up and saw that his face seemed slightly thinner than a few days ago, yet his expression remained as always, cultured and elegant with a hint of indifferent estrangement towards everyone.
Mrs. Xiao asked, "Professor Tang, regarding my daughter’s hand, what should we do? No matter what, it’s an accident that happened in this hospital."
Tang Sili replied, "The hospital will cover the medical expenses."
"Medical expenses? Do you think we are concerned about the medical expenses? Have we ever said we couldn’t afford them? I just want to know, can her hand recover enough to play the piano like before!" Mrs. Xiao stated with a solemn tone, one that seemed almost demanding.
Tang Sili retained that same expression, "That needs to be determined through the rehabilitation process later on; at this moment, no doctor can provide a conclusion."
Mrs. Xiao stamped her cane, standing up, "I’ve wasted enough words with you! If this continues, I’ll have no choice but to get my grandson involved to resolve this."
Mrs. Xiao wasn’t feeble-minded; she knew only her grandson Xiao Yebai could hold sway over this man.
Tang Sili’s lips seemed to twitch slightly at this, he responded, "I will inform Mr. Xiao myself." Then he added heavily, "What I can promise you is, regardless, I will endeavor to treat her hand, and if it can’t be cured in this lifetime, I’ll treat it for a lifetime."
As he spoke, Zhao Mengjin suddenly felt a bit surprised and a faint trace of bitterness swept across her heart.
After Mrs. Xiao walked away, she stopped him, "Professor Tang, this matter was caused by myself alone, you don’t need to be responsible."
He didn’t turn, his gaze swept across her face, sneering, "Isn’t this what you wanted?"
