Chapter 554: Would Her Hand Recover? (4)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shen Liangchuan froze when he heard this.
His heart was aching so much that all he wanted to do was to take her in his embrace and treasure her from now on. He would not let her get harmed ever again.
He pursed his lips as Dr. Zhao continued the story. “At that time, her hand was causing her too much pain. I suggested an anesthesia injection for the position correction. However, anesthesia injections are known to have secondary effects, such as difficulting the movement. When she heard this, she objected immediately. Not even a normal man would be able to take the pain of this sort of injury, but the young lady gritted her teeth and insisted.”
The fingertips’ nerves were linked to the heart.
The pain of correcting the bone position was far worse than the pain suffered during the injury.
Shen Liangchuan was nervous just hearing about it. “And after that...”
Dr. Zhao sighed again. “The joints’ positions were corrected, but because it was too painful, her recovery was a little slow. At that time her father took her to many well-known doctors, and he brought her to me as well. From my perspective, actually it was as close to normal as it could ever get. But she lamented that her hand was weak. I could not pinpoint the reason for that. Eventually, I told her to give it more time. After all, the saying goes that it takes a hundred days for bones to knit and tendons to heal. And after this, that tragedy struck at home...”
Shen Liangchuan’s pupils shrank at once. “What happened then?”
Dr. Zhao continued, “The Qiao Family, have you not heard of them? That building construction case from eight years ago, it killed 17 people while under construction-”
As he said this, he suddenly realized. “Oh, Mr. Shen you were still very young at that time. Probably in school. So you may have not been aware of these things.”
Shen Liangchuan’s pupils shrank.
He remembered hearing news about that case.
So the Qiao Family that had been involved in this matter was actually Qiao Lian’s family?
So Qiao Lian’s parents...
Noticing the puzzled expression on Shen Liangchuan’s face, Dr. Zhao continued, “Ms. Qiao’s parents were good-natured people, but you really can’t judge a book by its cover. You wouldn’t have imagined that they’d do such a thing. Initially, I just couldn’t for a moment believe that her parents were guilty. Later on, they were planning to send their two children overseas, but someone discovered this and thwarted their plans. They were trying to slink off! After that, they were watched over very closely. Perhaps they could not withstand the external pressures. In the end, they committed suicide.”
“They died, the Qiao Family went broke. Then there was a big fire, and everyone saw how pitifully the two children cried and their hearts softened, so they didn’t make things difficult for the little ones.”
Shen Liangchuan’s frown deepened, thinking about how Qiao Lian had had to take care of her brother and fight for survival in Beijing alone. He asked, “Didn’t she have any relatives?”
“Yes, she did. She has an uncle. But I heard that Ms. Qiao has a strong personality. Her uncle’s family depended on her family to survive, and Qiao Lian had a female cousin on that side of the family. However, it seemed that Ms. Qiao did not get along with this cousin. After the tragedy struck them, her uncle took the two children into his own home, but Qiao Lian had an argument with this cousin and eventually left their home, taking her brother along with her. From that moment, no one knew where they went. And if it weren’t for this meeting today, I wouldn’t have known how she is today.”
Shen Liangchuan was still frowning deeply.
It was true that Qiao Lian had her flaws. Having come from an upper-class family, and being an outstanding person herself, she naturally had reasons to be quite a proud person.
But he was certain she would have not run away from home with her brother just because of an argument with her cousin.
There must be a story behind this.
With a creased forehead, Shen Liangchuan contemplated the situation quietly.
After a while, the nurse led Qiao Lian back to the doctor’s office.
The moment Shen Liangchuan saw her, he sprang up from his seat.
