Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

When Chu Nan regained consciousness, the first thing he heard was a suppressed sob.

The voice was very soft, as if it had been deliberately suppressed.

Then came a man's voice, his tone very serious.

"The patient had as many as nine wounds on his thigh, the deepest of which pierced a branch of the femoral artery, resulting in blood loss of more than 40 percent of his total circulating blood volume."

"The patient has reached the threshold for hemorrhagic shock, and there is a large amount of blood pooling under the skin, resulting in severe compartment syndrome."

"The mortality rate is very high. Even if he can be saved, his leg muscles will suffer irreversible damage due to prolonged ischemia and hypoxia."

"Moreover, the myoglobin entering the bloodstream has already affected kidney function, and he will most likely spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair."

As these words were spoken, the sobbing grew louder.

"Doctor, please... please think of another way. He can't be disabled. He did it to save me—"

Chu Nan finally realized that the sobbing was none other than Jiang Yingxue.

It seems that, just as she had predicted, the old woman saved her life.

Chu Nan wanted to open his eyes, fully wake up, and tell Jiang Yingxue that he was alright.

But he was so tired that his eyelids felt as heavy as lead.

Jiang Yingxue sat by the hospital bed, holding Chu Nan's hands tightly.

She looked at Chu Nan, who was lying on the bed, his face pale, and the scenes from that night flashed uncontrollably through her mind.

Chu Nan stood by the bed, his face pale and his forehead covered in sweat.

While trying to save himself, he stabbed himself straight in the thigh with a knife!

At the time, she thought she was dreaming, but when she woke up again, she saw the emergency medical personnel who had arrived, as well as blood all over the ground and a fruit knife stained with blood.

She then realized that it wasn't a dream, but something that had actually happened!

In an attempt to save himself, Chu Nan resorted to self-harm to stay conscious, ultimately resulting in a lifelong disability even if he didn't die.

"Doctor, I can get the best specialist in the entire country, I—"

"Miss Jiang... it's not about the money; now it all depends on his own recovery ability."

The doctor sighed. "Based on the current test results, he might have a chance to wake up, but the possibility of him standing up is extremely slim."

Jiang Yingxue did not speak again.

She kept her head very low, and her shoulders were trembling slightly.

Warm liquid dripped onto the back of Chu Nan's hand.

Chu Nan felt the warmth emanating from the back of his hand.

Is Jiang Yingxue crying?

He wanted to say something, but he really didn't have the strength.

Moreover, he didn't want Jiang Yingxue to know that he had woken up.

Just as he was about to continue pretending to be asleep, he suddenly felt an intense itch in his chest.

Chu Nan gritted his teeth and endured for a few seconds, but he couldn't hold back any longer and twitched his finger.

Jiang Yingxue noticed this subtle movement.

"Chu Nan? You're awake?"

"Um……"

Chu Nan had no choice but to open his eyes.

The ceiling, the walls, the sunlight streaming through the window.

Then came Jiang Yingxue's face...

Her eyes were red and swollen, tears still clung to her eyelashes, and her hair was loose on her shoulders.

Jiang Yingxue quickly turned to look at the doctor beside the bed. "Doctor, please take a look at him!"

The doctor immediately stepped forward, examined Chu Nan's eyelids, and checked the data on the monitor.

A few seconds later, his expression changed from serious to incredulous.

"How is this possible? Myoglobin levels are decreasing, kidney function is recovering, and the rate of blood circulation restoration in the legs is far exceeding expectations—"

He looked up at Chu Nan, "Are you conscious? Can you move your toes?"

Chu Nan moved his toes in cooperation.

The doctor removed his stethoscope, took a deep breath, and looked incredulous. "When he was first brought in, all his indicators pointed to irreversible damage. According to the test results at that time, even if he woke up, he would most likely spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair."

"But now his body is repairing itself at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people. It can only be said that this is truly a medical miracle."

"So that means he won't be disabled?"

Jiang Yingxue herself didn't realize that her voice was trembling when she asked that question.

"Judging from the current recovery speed, not only will he not be disabled, but he will also be able to walk normally in a short time."

After seeing the doctor out of the ward, Jiang Yingxue stood by the door frame for a while before turning around and walking back in.

"Thanks……"

She sat back down on the edge of the bed, her head bowed.

She spoke to Chu Nan, but did not look at him.

"Miss Jiang."

"what?"

Chu Nan laughed and said, "I'm still used to you being a little fierce. I'm not used to you being so gentle."

Jiang Yingxue suddenly raised her head and glared at Chu Nan.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but looking at his pale face, she swallowed the words back.

After all, Chu Nan almost lost his life because of me.

Although he is fine now, in the doctor's words, this is a medical miracle, a result of God's favor.

"You're a patient now, I won't argue with you."

Jiang Yingxue turned her head away, but her ears had already turned bright red.

I need to go to the restroom.

Chu Nan tried to sit up, and Jiang Yingxue immediately reached out to help him. "How can you go like this? Let me help you."

"Will you help me up?"

Chu Nan was taken aback. If what he had said earlier was a joke, then Jiang Yingxue's offer to help him up now made him feel genuinely awkward.

"Otherwise what? Also, you, you mustn't misunderstand, I'm doing this just to repay you for taking care of me before."

Jiang Yingxue remained defiant, but two blushes had already risen on her cheeks.

"Did you take care of me before?"

Chu Nan frowned slightly. Looking back now, their first day together was hardly harmonious.

"Yes, I, Jiang Yingxue, hate owing favors the most. Isn't it normal to pay you back now?"

Jiang Yingxue bit her lower lip and helped Chu Nan to his feet.

The two were very close, and a faint floral fragrance lingered around their noses.

Soon, the two arrived at the restroom. Chu Nan steadied himself by holding onto the sink. "Miss Jiang, why don't you wait for me outside?"

"Can you manage on your own?"

"Uh, I just have difficulty moving around, not that I'm completely incapable of taking care of myself. Or... do you want to stand here and watch me take my pants off?"

"rogue!"

Jiang Yingxue cursed, turned around, and closed the door.

Chu Nan smiled and then quickly unbuttoned his hospital gown.

The lotus bud on the chest had a faint, shimmering sheen.

Perhaps, at this moment, it can no longer be described as a lotus bud.

Because it only needs one more petal for the lotus flower to be fully bloomed.

Yes, the lotus bud in the Qian position has opened two more petals!

But this is clearly not right!

It has already been confirmed that Xia Wantang was the one who made the lotus buds bloom.

But he remembered very clearly that he had only been in contact with Jiang Yingxue yesterday, and had no contact with Xia Wantang at all.

But... the lotus bud still opened.

And just like when he was alone with Xia Wantang before—it opened twice at once!
