Under Ji Fuling's insistence, Ye Nanqing finally agreed to go to the hospital.

The restaurant happened to be close to the Anxin Private Hospital where Gu Liao was located, so Chen Heng drove directly to Anxin.

On the way, Ji Fuling looked at Ye Nanqing's leg with great concern.

Thinking about how he barely put any weight on his right leg when he got on the bus, relying entirely on his left leg for support, she felt extremely uneasy.

"Uncle, how are you feeling? Can you still move your legs?"

It's a matter of flesh and blood; being scraped by a car wheel and bleeding so much, it's impossible not to feel pain.

Seeing how nervous Ji Fuling was, Ye Nanqing didn't want to scare her, so he replied casually, "I don't feel anything."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuling assumed he meant she had lost feeling in her legs, and her face paled. "No feeling?! Did you damage a nerve? What should I do? Will it affect my ability to walk later?"

She didn't dare use the word "disability" because she was worried he wouldn't be able to handle it, so she carefully avoided those words.

Ye Nanqing realized she had misunderstood him and was about to explain when he saw her anxiously pat the back of the driver's seat.

"Assistant Chen, could you please drive a little faster?"

"Miss Ji, this is already the fastest speed we can go; we'll be there soon."

As Chen Heng finished speaking, the car drove right into the hospital gate.

Upon arriving at the emergency building, Ji Fuling carefully helped Ye Nanqing out of the car.

Gu Liao had received the news from Chen Heng in advance and was waiting downstairs early on.

Seeing someone approaching, he pushed the wheelchair over and said, "Sister-in-law, help Nanqing sit down."

Ye Nanqing glanced at the wheelchair, his brows furrowing suddenly. "No need, I'm not lame."

"We haven't done any tests yet, so we can't determine the extent of your injury. It's better to be cautious to avoid further injury, and it will also be more convenient to push you around."

Gu Liao spoke from a doctor's perspective, and his words were reasonable and well-founded.

Ji Fuling thought what he said made a lot of sense. She looked up at the man with the cold, hard profile and said in a negotiating tone, "Sit down, I'll push you, okay?"

Hearing that her tone was softer than ever before, Ye Nanqing couldn't bring himself to refuse and awkwardly replied, "Mm."

Seeing that Ye Sanye clearly disliked it but was still helped into the wheelchair, Gu Liao couldn't help but tease him, "As expected, your sister-in-law's words still carry weight!"

Ji Fuling was worried about Ye Nanqing's injuries, and upon hearing this, she frowned. "Dr. Gu, please don't joke around at a time like this."

"My bad, my bad. Let's go. The surgeons and orthopedic specialists are waiting in the emergency room."

Gu Liao quickly decided to stop while he was ahead and led the way.

Ji Fuling pushed Ye Nanqing and followed behind him.

Upon arriving at the emergency room entrance, Gu Liao took the wheelchair from Ji Fuling.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you sit outside and wait a while? I'll go in with Nan Qing."

After saying that, he pushed Ye Nanqing inside.

As the emergency room door closed, Ji Fuling suddenly felt even more uneasy than before.

Waiting for the unknown outcome is the hardest time.

Because this process can easily lead to overthinking...

Inside the emergency room.

Several experts examined Ye Nanqing's right leg.

As soon as the examination was finished, Gu Liao immediately asked, "How is it? How serious are the injuries?"

There's a saying in hospitals that different departments are like separate worlds. He specializes in allergy and is not good at surgery or orthopedics, otherwise he would have taken on those roles himself.

The surgical expert replied truthfully: "Although Mr. Ye's injuries look terrible, they are actually all superficial wounds. No bones or nerves have been damaged. As long as the wounds are disinfected, sutured, and bandaged, he will be fine after a few days of rest."

"Okay, then you should get on with it."

As Gu Liao spoke, he turned to look at Ye Nanqing, "I'll go out and tell my sister-in-law about the situation."

"Um."

Ye Nanqing leaned back on the hospital bed and responded faintly.

At this moment, Ji Fuling was pacing back and forth restlessly, her eyes fixed on the closed door of the emergency room.

As soon as she saw Gu Liao come out, she immediately ran over to him. "Dr. Gu, how is he? Will it affect his ability to walk in the future?"

Listening to Ji Fuling's anxious questioning, a bold idea suddenly flashed through Gu Liao's mind.

There is no doubt that Master Ye has feelings for this Miss Ji.

If we could take this opportunity to bring the two of them together, that would be a great deed!

Thinking of this, Gu Liao feigned a serious expression and sighed, "Nan Qing's condition is not good. After examination, it was found that some muscles and nerves in his right leg were damaged, and he has temporarily lost sensation..."

Lost consciousness?!

These words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploding in Ji Fuling's mind.

The color drained from her face instantly, turning her face deathly pale.

She had held onto a sliver of hope when Ye Nanqing said he felt nothing, but now even that hope had vanished.

"Dr. Gu...you mean, his...his leg is crippled?!"

Ji Fuling's voice trembled as she stammered out her sentence.

"Well……"

Gu Liao hesitated for a moment, then quickly racked his brains to think of the right words, "Judging from the current situation, it can't be said that he is completely disabled, because the injury was recent and there is still a possibility of recovery."

He only wanted to offer a small helping hand, so he didn't dare to say anything definitive.

Hearing that there was still a chance to recover, Ji Fuling's shattered hope was rekindled, and she quickly asked, "How long will it take to recover?"

"That's hard to say..."

Gu Liao's eyes flickered for a moment, then his tone changed slightly, "But sister-in-law, don't worry too much. The most important thing now is to take good care of Nan Qing and keep him in a good mood. As for recovery, it can only be done slowly. Maybe if you're lucky, he'll be fine after a while."

Ji Fuling bit her lower lip tightly, silently processing Gu Liao's words, her heart filled with self-reproach and guilt.

All she hopes now is that Ye Nanqing can recover quickly and, please, please don't let him become crippled.

Judging from how disgusted he was even just sitting in a wheelchair temporarily, how could he possibly accept it if his legs were truly ruined...?

"Sister-in-law, I'll go in and check again. Once Nanqing's wound is treated, he'll be transferred to a ward. You should go to the ward first."

As he spoke, Gu Liao turned to the nurse beside him and instructed, "Xiao Zhang, take my sister-in-law to VIP ward 501."

"Okay, Dr. Gu."

The nurse nodded in agreement and led Ji Fuling to the ward.

When Gu Liao returned to the emergency room, Ye Nanqing's wound had just been treated.

He dismissed the experts and then raised an eyebrow at the man who was about to get out of bed, as if seeking credit. "Third Master, I've done you a great favor. No need for thanks. Just be gentle with me in the future."

Ye Nanqing paused slightly as he stood up, then glanced at him and said, "Speak like a human being."
