Once there were only the two of them in the room, Wei Jingshen asked her expressionlessly, "You can't stand for long, why didn't you tell me?"

Jiang Tian seemed a little puzzled as to why he would ask such a question.

She remained as taciturn as ever, speaking as little as possible.

"Can stand."

Wei Jingshen carefully observed her complexion. After standing there for several tens of minutes, her face revealed a sense of weakness.

Without a second thought, Wei Jingshen squatted down and looked at her calf: "Does it hurt here?"

Jiang Tian was very surprised.

The two were merely employer and employee, and for whatever reason, Wei Jingshen had no need to pay too much attention to her health.

Once the transaction is over, they might never meet again in their lifetime.

“Sir, I can stand.”

Jiang Tian did not answer his question, but instead repeated her attitude.

Wei Jingshen's face finally darkened, his gaze becoming deep and unsettling as he looked at her with a sense of oppression: "Have you never taken your own body seriously?"

"Last time I took you away, you came with me. If I were a bad person, weren't you worried about losing your life?"

Jiang Tian's gaze was even calmer than his. She truthfully stated her thoughts: "Your identity is very important. You won't go to great lengths for my life."

She's not stupid.

Wei Jingshen suddenly felt annoyed: "I hired you to do my job. If you don't cooperate, I'll have to send you back, and our deal will be terminated."

The termination of the transaction means that the elderly person's medical treatment must also stop.

Jiang Tian finally frowned, looking at Wei Jingshen with some confusion: "I can clearly stand, why did you terminate the transaction?"

Wei Jingshen slowly exhaled, and without thinking, gently grasped her calf. The skin he touched was snow-white, clear, delicate, and soft.

He squatted down and looked up at her: "Does this area hurt after standing for a long time? Tell me the truth."

"It hurts a little, but it's bearable," Jiang Tian answered truthfully.

Wei Jingshen controlled his anger: "If I asked you to stand up and walk out now, would it hurt?"

“It’s just a little pain. I can pretend to be a normal person and go out. No one will notice anything unusual. You don’t need to worry about me limping.”

Hearing her mention her old wounds in such an indifferent tone, Wei Jingshen felt as if ants had bitten his heart, causing him some discomfort and pain.

He glanced at Jiang Tian silently, and finally bent down and picked her up.

"Don't be surprised, I'm just practicing first. There will be a part where the groom carries the bride after the engagement ceremony begins."

Wei Jingshen spoke in a calm and even tone, making it impossible to detect anything amiss.

Jiang Tian was even calmer than him: "I'm not surprised."

When Wei Jingshen picked her up, he realized just how thin this woman was.

For some reason, his heart was pounding like a drum, and his palms were sweating.

He really didn't understand why he would suddenly do this.

But what can you do after you've already hugged her?

Amidst a chorus of strange looks, Wei Jingshen carried Jiang Tian into the car.

The next day, Wei Jingshen took Jiang Tian to the best hospital to re-examine her old injuries.

The doctor's advice was not optimistic.

Jiang Tian was in a car accident when she was a teenager. At that time, she was still growing, so it was already very difficult for her to maintain the same thickness of her two legs through daily training.

Permanent wounds are not so easily healed, and even the places with the most abundant medical resources cannot guarantee that.

Moreover, multiple surgeries would be required for her legs to fully recover.

Each surgery is almost like smashing your leg and rebuilding the nerves.

The pain and the long recovery time are unbearable for most people.

In short, even though the doctor put it mildly, the gist was clear: the chances of Jiang Tian fully recovering were extremely slim.

Wei Jingshen emerged from the doctor's office still somewhat dazed.

Seeing the slender Jiang Tian sitting there obediently, seemingly in a different world from the patients and doctors coming and going, Wei Jingshen paused and quickly walked over.

On the way back, he didn't mention what the doctor had said, but instead asked her, "Do you also have to stand for long periods of time in the factory?"

He didn't mention the details of his medical treatment, so Jiang Tian didn't ask.

She shook her head: "My job only requires me to sit."

"Is there anyone who can make things difficult for you, making you stand there?"

Jiang Tian looked puzzled, as if she didn't quite understand why this person cared so much about her life.

After a brief moment of thought, she nodded.

Wei Jingshen's expression grew even colder, and he continued to ask, "So, did you retaliate?"

This time, Jiang Tian's mood seemed to have improved slightly: "We're fighting back."

Wei Jingshen's mood unconsciously improved.

"So how did you retaliate?"

Jiang Tian finally glanced at him: "I told my roommate about his two-timing; they're a couple."

Wei Jingshen's lips curled up slightly.

He didn't ask any further questions.

A few days later, Wei Jingshen took Jiang Tian to the clinic of an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

After carefully examining Jiang Tian's injury, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor offered his opinion: "The injury is difficult to heal, but the pain can be relieved. Come for acupuncture twice a week, and if you persist, it will definitely have an effect."

The old Chinese medicine doctor's beard was completely white, but his tone was very confident.

Wei Jingshen breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Okay."

When they got back into the car, Jiang Tian looked at him with a probing gaze.
