The doctor exited the room, nodded to Lu Yi before he spoke.
“Don’t worry, Mister Lu. Miss Yan is fine. We’ve set her broken bones, but she needs some time to recuperate. Fortunately, this will not affect her daily life in the future after she has regained her full strength.”
“Thank you, doctor.” Lu Yi heaved a sigh of relief.
“I hope that no one else will know about my wife’s injury.”
He did not want the incident to cause an uproar across the world. With Yan Huan’s popularity, the entire world would be buzzing with the news of her injury.
The movie ‘White Fox’ had already hit 3.3 million at the Box Office. If the accident was not handled properly, it might affect her reputation and thus the performance of the movie.
“Mister Lu, don’t worry. I know what to do.”
The doctor knew that he had to protect his patient’s privacy. Before this, he had repeatedly reminded the medical staff who were involved in the surgery to not recklessly talk about this operation as the patient was a public figure.
Yan Huan was given a private room in the hospital. A few nurses were assigned to take care of her.
Ye Shuyun woke up in the middle of the night as she screamed her desire to kill Qin Xiaoyue for revenge.
“Look, look,” she pointed at her hair. When Lu Jin stroked Ye Shuyun’s hair, she cried out in agony, “Be gentle. Can’t you see that my scalp is already injured?”
Lu Jin was shocked, to the extent that his hands quivered briefly.
The honorable and fearless Commander Lu, who did not even hesitate when he was commanding thousands of troops and fighting amid rains of bullets, was horrified by Ye Shuyun’s scalp.
Ye Shuyun’s scalp was not torn too badly, but it was evident that she had lost a lot of hair during the fight.
“How is this fair? Both of them fighting against me alone. The mistress and her family are ridiculous. They barged into my house early in the morning to yell at me. What’s wrong with me renovating my house? Have I caused any trouble for them?”
“They were terrible. Not only did they gang up to pick on me, they even pushed me down the stairs,” she complained while gently massaging her head. “I recall that I hit my head. Is everything alright? Am I suffering from cerebral hemorrhage or brain damage?”
Lu Jin reached out to stop her from moving her head around heedlessly.
“Yes, you’re fine,” he looked at her and replied in a serious tone, “Your brain is fine too. Your hair will grow. It’s just here,” he pointed at Ye Shuyun’s head. “You have a mild concussion from knocking your head on a hard surface. Besides that, there are some minor injuries all over your body. Overall, there was nothing major.”
“By the way,” he took a seat and stared into Ye Shuyun’s eyes with a sombre expression. “Shuyun, do you know what happened after that?”
What happened? Ye Shuyun certainly did not know about that. She had lost consciousness after rolling down the staircase and felt a sudden pain in her head. Oh, yes. As I fell, I opened my eyes and saw the ceiling. And, I’m not sure what happened next. Why? Did something happen after that?
“This was all the two shameless women’s fault. They stole our things and ran away. Did they pry open your study room’s door and take away all your antiques?” she knew how costly the items in Lu Jin’s study room were. She was certain that Qin Xiaoyue was the culprit. She was the only one who was shameless enough to do something like this, to injure the innocent and escape with the stolen goods.
“No. The things in my study room are safe,” Lu Jin quickly calmed her down. However, he did not inform her about what happened to Yan Huan. Otherwise, with Ye Shuyun’s temper, she would definitely commit strenuous effort to seek revenge on the mistress and her family.
He could roughly picture the scenario of the fight. He reckoned that Yan Huan ran into the scene coincidentally when she wished to visit Ye Shuyun. When she witnessed the quarrel, she went forward to save Ye Shuyun. Fortunately, Ye Shuyun had only suffered some minor injuries. However, Yan Huan had fractured her bones. He could still feel a chill running down his spine when he recalled the incident. Besides, he did not want to imagine the consequences if Ye Shuyun had fell off the stairs and hit the ground at maximum impact. It was possible for her to suffer a more severe injury than merely a broken arm or a fractured bone, she might possibly damage her head irreversibly.
If that really happens, what am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to live alone in this world?
His usually precious antiques were nothing at this moment. No matter how much he loved them and how costly they were, they would never be as important as her.
“No,” Ye Shuyun was still concerned, “You’ve always treated those antiques like your own children. Even when your old man wanted them, you were unwilling to give them away too. You should go back and check on them. Phew, luckily nothing happened to your precious antiques. If she has the audacity to touch your belongings, I’ll go to the mistress’ house and snatch them back.”
Lu Jin felt terrible.
She was not in her best form, yet she was still concerned about Lu Jin’s antiques. His heart softened completely. He would even cry in public if something really did happen to Ye Shuyun.
They had spent almost their entire lives with only each other and could never leave each other behind.
The door swung open abruptly and Lu Yi entered the room.
He was relieved when he saw that Ye Shuyun had already regained her consciousness. Fortunately, one of the two women had woken up. Otherwise, he did not know how much more stress he could bear at this moment.
He was able to withstand the pressure from outsiders both mentally and physically. However, he could never let anything happen to the two women in his family whom he loved dearly. The idea was inconceivable.
“Come here, son.”
Ye Shuyun immediately beckoned her son over.
Lu Yi went to Ye Shuyun’s side. Ye Shuyun held his hand and repeated the things that she had said to Lu Jin.
“I want my revenge.” It was impossible for her to stay silent after getting hurt to the extent that she was admitted to the hospital. It was reasonable to do so, even if this issue reached Old Master Lu’s ears.
The mistress had truly gone too far this time.
“If I was not blessed, both of you might not even see me here right now,” Ye Shuyun patted her chest. She was still fearful when she recalled the incident. If she had become paralyzed or mentally retarded by the fall, what would happen to her husband and her son?
Lu Yi’s dark eyes were brimming with complex emotions. He did not know how to inform his mother about Yan Huan’s admission to the hospital, or how to reveal the fact that Yan Huan had sacrificed her arm to save Ye Shuyun. Her welfare was not solely blessed by luck and good fortune.
However, he had to keep that a secret for now.
Lu Jin’s expression was indistinguishable as well. Indeed, it’s still a secret.
“Oh, yeah. Where’s Huanhuan?” Ye Shuyun was hit by a sudden realization. “Huanhuan went to buy cat food for Little Bean. Has she been notified about the incident?”
“Hmm, she hasn’t found out yet,” Lu Yi answered with a slightly hoarse voice. “She’s quite busy today. She might need to go on a business trip for a few days. I’ll call her to tell her to come home.”
“That’s not necessary,” Ye Shuyun quickly stopped her son. “Don’t tell her about this matter. She is occupied with her work now. Let her focus on her work since I’m fine now,” she stretched. Why am I still feeling tired? Have I not had enough sleep? Or, am I affected by the concussion?
