Bai Yu looked down and did not say anything. She was unconsciously twisting the quilt in her hands.
Song Ning rose to her feet and gently lifted the quilt.
Bai Yu was astonished and instinctively reached out to cover her legs again.
Song Ning stopped Bai Yu before she began to massage Bai Yu’s legs and asked, “What happened to your ex-boyfriend?”
Bai Yu seemed stunned by the question. After a moment, she shook her head and said, “I don’t know. I didn’t pay attention to him.”
Song Ning continued to massage Bai Yu’s legs as she asked, “Do you still have hatred in your heart when you think of them?”
Bai Yu did not reply.
Song Ning continued to ask, “Have you pieced all the puzzles together regarding that incident?”
Bai Yu continued to keep quiet.
Song Ning said, seemingly to herself, “Of course, you have. It’s just that there’s no evidence. Everything is just speculation. In the end, it must be easier to blame your mother. No matter how you lose your temper, your mother will always be there for you. As for Yin Yi, she’s got everything going for her. She can do whatever she wants. As for that boyfriend, he probably got annoyed with Yin Yi not long after, and they didn’t get together. In the end, he likely realized that you’re the best. However, when he looked for you, he realized that you were paralyzed. After that, he never looked back…”
Then, Song Ning straightened her back before she asked, “Am I right?”
Bai Yu looked away and did not say anything.
Song Ning pressed on Bai Yu’s acupuncture point at this time, causing Bai Yu to look at her in surprise.
“Dr. Song!”
“Do you feel it?” Song Ning asked with a smile.
Bai Yu nodded excitedly. “Yes, yes!”
Song Ning withdrew her hands and placed them in the pockets of her white coat. Then, she tilted her head slightly to look at Bai Yu before she asked, “When you can stand up and walk in the future, what do you want to do most?”
Bai Yu asked hesitantly, “Can I really?”
Song Ning rolled her eyes and asked with a hint of exasperation, “Why don’t you believe me? Don’t you want to dance?”
Bai Yu nodded as tears welled up in her eyes. “I do!”
Song Ning said, “That’s good. It’s not easy to be alive. You have to cherish yourself for the rest of your life. Don’t give up on your dreams, especially when it not only belongs to you, but to your mother as well…”
Bai Yu was a little excited when she heard Song Ning’s words.
Song Ning continued to say, “I can heal your legs, but you’ll have to work hard during the rehabilitation sessions. That will likely be the most difficult process. I can heal your legs, but you’ll have to cooperate with me. Not only do you have to believe in me, but you must also believe in yourself. Do you think you can do this?”
Bai Yu nodded, determined. “Yes! I can definitely do it!”
Song Ning smiled. “Your parents protected you too well so you’re naive, silly, and sweet. Stop wallowing in self-pity. If you have the time, why don’t you take a look at the past and find out who caused you to waste so many years of your youth?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu stared at Song Ning with her mouth agape as she watched Song Ning leave the room.
…
As soon as Song Ning stepped out of the room, Bai Yu’s mother quickly grabbed Song Ning’s hand. Her legs weakened, causing her to fall to her knees in front of Song Ning. She sobbed uncontrollably.
Song Ning was shocked. “Please get up. What are you doing?”
Bai Yu’s mother tried her best to suppress her tears as she said, “Dr. Song, all these years, Bai Yu had never taken the initiative to eat…”
Song Ning helped Bai Yu’s mother up as she said gently, “She’ll be even better in the future. She’s a very smart child. It’s because she feels very secure with you and your husband that she dares to behave so presumptuously. You’re a good mother. Bai Yu doesn’t blame you. She’s admitted it. It’s because she feels closest to you that she lashes out at you…”
