Xu Wan met a man from her industry at a matchmaking party. Two days later, they got their marriage certificate.
She thought she had married an unremarkable corporate legal counsel.
Afte...
Is there anything I can do to help you?
Xu Wan held the man's hand tightly, not knowing what else she could do.
Jiang Tingzhou gripped the driver's armrest slightly, but still said in as relaxed a tone as possible, "It's okay, having you by my side is enough."
The man leaned forward slightly, his forehead covered in sweat, showing that he was enduring great pain, but it was impossible to tell where the pain was coming from.
The driver wanted to get the car to the hospital as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, it's rush hour now, and the roads are terribly congested.
The time spent getting to the hospital was actually longer than usual.
The car wasn't parked in the parking lot as usual, but instead parked directly in front of the rehabilitation center.
Miyazaki and the doctor were waiting there, pushing a wheelchair.
Jiang Tingzhou's legs seemed to be unable to bend much anymore; if a staff member hadn't helped him when he got out of the car, he might have fallen to the ground!
After being put in a wheelchair, Miyanoko and the doctor pushed the man to the treatment room.
When they reached the door, Jiang Tingzhou looked at Xu Wan and said, "Wait for me at the door."
Xu Wan noticed that when the man gripped the wheelchair armrests very tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulged out.
She didn't dare refuse and nodded hastily, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the door."
She stood at the door for about half an hour before a doctor called her in.
At this moment, Jiang Tingzhou had changed out of his suit and into the loose-fitting loungewear that men had left there.
There was a foldable metal object on the ground. It wasn't hard to guess that it was the one Jiang Tingzhou had just put on to help him walk.
Structurally, there is something around the waist and abdomen, and the knees and heels are also fixed in place, with several metal supports in the middle.
Xu Wan couldn't imagine how Jiang Tingzhou managed to get through the afternoon with such a thing.
Gong Yanli said, "Alright, let's stay here and rest for today, don't make a fuss."
“Okay.” Jiang Tingzhou agreed.
The man's suit was left lying aside.
Thinking that she would be going to the ward soon, Xu Wan went over and picked up her clothes.
She picked up the shirt, her hand, which was about to reach for the pants, paused.
It's only June now, and although the weather isn't exactly cool, the auditorium and cars are air-conditioned in the afternoon, so you don't spend much time outdoors.
However, the man's shirt in her hand was noticeably damp, clearly soaked with sweat.
Just looking at all that sweat, it's easy to imagine how this man persevered all this way.
Xu Wan pushed Jiang Tingzhou to the ward in the rehabilitation center.
The wards in the rehabilitation center are not high up, but you can see lush green trees outside, and the area is also larger.
Upon arriving at the ward, Gong Yanli accompanied Jiang Tingzhou to the restroom, then helped him to bed, gave him a few brief instructions, and left.
Once there were only the two of them in the ward, Xu Wan said, "Let me give you a massage."
"Need not."
Jiang Tingzhou didn't want Xu Wan to do such a thing.
Xu Wan could guess what the man was thinking, so she deliberately said, "Since you don't need me, I have nothing to do here anyway, so I might as well go home."
The woman was sitting on the edge of the bed.
As she finished speaking and stood up to leave, Jiang Tingzhou quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist, somewhat reluctant to let her go, "Don't go."
Xu Wan then asked, "Do you need me to give you a massage?"
Jiang Tingzhou nodded helplessly.
Xu Wan sat on the bed, placed the man's legs on her own, and was about to roll up his trouser leg when the man subconsciously stopped her.
Xu Wan asked, "Then shall I leave?"
Only then did the man give in.
When Xu Wan saw the man's legs after his trousers were rolled up, she realized why he had stopped her earlier.
The man's legs were already bruised and purple from being squeezed by the broken metal frame, especially his ankles, which were covered in gauze but were still bleeding.
Seeing the man's legs like this, Xu Wan couldn't help but feel her eyes redden. "Luckily, Xiao Xiao didn't see it, otherwise she would definitely regret asking you to participate in the Children's Day activity if she knew you did this for her."
Jiang Tingzhou grasped the woman's hand and said, "It's not just for her, it's for you too."
