Pei Huaian’s lips curved up ever so slightly with joy as he concurred, “Doctor Shao is right.”
Shao He nodded, his mind, however, was preoccupied with other matters. “Regarding Pei Siyang’s leg atrophy, I would like to understand more about what exactly happened,” he said.
“I heard that the Imperial Physician said all the muscles below his calf have necrotized, but the specifics are not very clear.” Mentioning this, Pei Huaian’s expression turned grave.
“This won’t do, I need to know his specific condition before making a conclusion, is it possible for you to take me to see him?” Shao He said, his expression turning solemn.
“Of course, when there’s time, I’ll arrange a meeting for you two. But why do you suddenly want to meet him?” Pei Huaian asked curiously.
Shao He smiled and explained, “I suddenly remembered there’s a way to fit another type of prosthetic limb without amputation, although it’s not as convenient as Bai Yi’s.”
...
“Really?” Pei Huaian was so excited he nearly stood up from his wheelchair, clutching his palms tightly and staring intently at Shao He, waiting for an answer.
“Yes, indeed it is possible. However, I need to understand his condition before I can conclude.” Shao He nodded. Although he didn’t have complete certainty, there really was a possibility, depending on whether Pei Siyang’s body met certain conditions.
Pei Huaian took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and made an effort to keep his voice steady, “Doctor Shao, rest assured, I will arrange a meeting as soon as possible.”
Having said that, he hurried away.
Yun Qian handed over the patient to Zhao Yuebei and came to Shao He alone, asking, “Why didn’t you use this type of prosthetic limb on Bai Yi before?”
He felt there must be some flaws with this prosthetic limb; yet, he also sensed that Shao He had his own schemes. He couldn’t help but feel worried.
“Bai Yi had already lost his leg; this prosthetic limb would be meaningless to him,” Shao He replied.
It was then that Yun Qian realized, right, Bai Yi’s right calf was already gone when he arrived, no amputation needed.
As Yun Qian was about to leave, it suddenly occurred to him that Chu Yu had been visiting frequently lately, and he couldn’t help but caution Shao He, “I think you need to be extra careful recently to avoid Chu Yu getting desperate.”
Touching his chin, Shao He analyzed seriously, “Given Chu Yu’s temperament, if he really decides to use force against the children, I might not stand a chance. If I don’t want the children to be harmed, I must find a powerful ally.”
“So what do you plan to do?”
Looking at her demeanor, Yun Qian couldn’t help but wonder, What is she scheming now?
Shao He lifted her gaze to the window, speaking with an implied meaning, “Isn’t there a powerful ally right at hand now?”
“You mean Young Master Pei?”
Shao He nodded. Chu Yu valued Pei Huaian’s status highly. If Pei Huaian were to stand up for her, surely Chu Yu wouldn’t dare do anything to her.
Yun Qian contemplated and said, “Young Master Pei is very kind to you, even without relying on him, he would do his utmost to help you.”
Shao He agreed with this sentiment; Pei Huaian had indeed been overly eager in his helpfulness toward her.
It made her suddenly recall Princess Huimin’s veiled warning, and that uncomfortable feeling surged up in her heart again. Irritated, she flopped down onto a chair.
She had never felt like this before as she rarely had anything to worry about, yet this particular matter remained unresolved in her heart, causing discomfort whenever she thought about it.
Shao He massaged her temples, fatigue clearly etched into her brows.
Seeing her condition, Yun Qian immediately asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Shao He shook her head, it was just…
She sighed, pushing down the annoyance in her heart before saying, “It’s nothing, just feeling inexplicably irritable.”
A tinge of worry flickered through Shao He’s eyes as she sighed.
Yun Qian, not knowing why she sighed but choosing not to inquire further, continued, “I think Young Master Pei might have feelings for you.”
It is only when one cares deeply about another that they would give so selflessly.
“That’s true, I’ve noticed that too. Young Master Pei always looks at Doctor Shao differently,” Zhao Yuebei, who had come over at some point, concurred.
Shao He pursed her lips into a smile, “How is it different?”
Zhao Yuebei actually took a moment to think carefully and said earnestly, “Young Master Pei always has a smile when looking at you, but when he looks at us, it’s all cold.”
Reflecting on this, Shao He realized that Pei Huaian was indeed very kind to the children; even for a normal person, no matter how much they loved children, they wouldn’t have such patience with someone else’s child.
This prompted a vague memory to resurface—back then, the original host’s memory was fuzzy, and she couldn’t be certain if the person was Pei Huaian or not.
Seeing the person lost in thought, Yun Qian patted his shoulder to console him, “Weren’t you considering aligning yourself with a powerful ally? Now’s the perfect chance; why hesitate?”
“It’s not that I’m hesitating, it’s just that things are a bit troublesome, and I dislike troublesome issues.” Shao He had always preferred peace, but troubles seemed to be unending lately.
And then there’s Chu Yu, an unshakable nuisance, whom she has to be on guard against every moment, lest he commits some outrage.
“Don’t think too much; just let things take their course,” Yun Qian said before turning and leaving.
Zhao Yuebei also followed, departing.
Left alone, Shao He propped her chin in her hands, gazing into the distance.
She thought to herself: Last time I missed the opportunity to see if there was a birthmark on his waist. Next time, I must not miss the chance, I have to make sure whether or not he is the same person!
