Chapter 215  : Gu Shen Stood Up

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes as if he could see through everything. “When will the surgery begin?”

“This…” Zhou Xu racked his brains but couldn’t think of anything to say. A few seconds later, he stammered, “It’ll start soon. Please wait a moment.”

Gu Shen sized him up and did not say anything else. He let Gu Yi push him into the ward.

At the same time, Zhou Xu called Yan Xi again and kept praying in his heart. “‘Pick up the phone! Pick up the phone!”

This time, God heard his prayer and sent Yan Xi straight to him.

Zhou Xu was dumbfounded when he saw Yan Xi, who had suddenly appeared and was covered in wounds.

“Did you go scavenging?”

Yan Xi said weakly, “What scavenging? Quick, bring me to the operating room. I need to treat my wound.”

She swayed, as if she might collapse any second.

Only then did Zhou Xu understand that Yan Xi was really injured.

He helped Yan Xi into the operating room with worry. “I’ll treat your wound. Just lie down.”

Yan Xi wanted to do it herself, but her strength had been drained, so she nodded and agreed.

“The tendons and bones in your hands are already damaged. Who exactly injured you like this!”

Yan Xi smiled bitterly. “Of course it’s someone who doesn’t want Gu Shen to stand up.”

“What a lunatic!”

Zhou Xu sutured the wound and wrapped it in a bandage. Only then could he relax.

“You’d better not move around for the next few days. It won’t be good if you strain your wound. Also…”

Zhou Xu lowered his head, hesitant as to whether he should say or not.

Yan Xi saw through his thoughts and smiled. “I know what you’re thinking. I have to be the chief surgeon for Gu Shen’s surgery.”

“No! Your hands are seriously injured now. You can even hold the scalpel properly!” Zhou Xu’s tone was serious. “You have to think for yourself. Nerve damage is not a joke. If you insist on operating on Gu Shen, you might end up crippling your hands.”

Zhou Xu was adamant.

He knew how much Yan Xi loved Gu Shen, but under such circumstances, he had to prioritize her safety. If Gu Shen was here, he would do the same.

Yan Xi took a step forward and patted his shoulder.

“You don’t understand. I would sacrifice anything for the sake of someone I love.”

“But…”

“No buts. I know what to do.” Yan Xi smiled. “Zhou Xu, help me get some medicine to stabilize my nerves. I know you have it here.”

Zhou Xu had once said that their laboratory had developed nerve-related drugs. Now was the time to use them.

“What did you say? You’re crazy!”

“I need that, or I won’t be able to control my hands during surgery.”

“But that drug is very harmful. Yes, if you use it, you can stabilize your hands. However, after that, your hand will spasm and hurt. The possibility of you being crippled will be three times higher! Is it really worth it?”

Yan Xi’s expression was calm. “It’s worth it. For him, anything is worth it. Zhou Xu, I owe you this time. Give me that drug, okay?”

After a few minutes of stalemate, Zhou Xu finally gave in.

He took out the drug from the locker and handed it to Yan Xi.

Yan Xi chuckled. “Alright, get ready for the surgery.”

Half a year later, at the Gu Corporation.

“Oh my god, President Gu is standing up! Am I hallucinating?”

“No, you are not. He really stood up! I heard that President Gu had surgery and his leg recovered immediately!”

Hearing the discussion of the employees around them, Gu Shen and Yan Xi, who had just entered the company, looked at each other and smiled.

After the surgery half a year ago, Gu Shen regained feeling in his legs. Coupled with the long period of recuperating, he managed to run. As for Yan Xi’s hands, they recovered as well.

After holding on for so many years, she had finally fulfilled her promise to Gu Shen!

At this moment, in the office, Gu Sheng was pacing back and forth anxiously. When Gu Shen and Yan Xi appeared, he hurriedly went up to them.

Seeing Gu Shen’s straight legs, Gu Sheng was shocked.

“You—”

He suddenly realized why he was here and fell to his knees.

“Gu Shen, I know I was wrong. Can you let me off?”
