Chapter 177 A Decisive Decision, Heading to the Door
“Good, very good, better than ever before,” Wang Aiping said immediately.
"My legs have been hurting for so many years, and I've never felt so relaxed. Thank you, my friend."
She had been tormented by the pain in her feet for so many years that she was tired of it all. So as long as she was given even the slightest hope, she was willing to gamble even if she didn't make it off the operating table.
She really didn't want to go through that kind of painful torment again.
Not to mention, Xia Yuhuan said she was 50% sure.
With such a high probability of success, she felt that if she missed this opportunity, she would never have another chance like it in her life.
So she decided to take a gamble.
If she wins the gamble, she won't have to suffer this torment for the rest of her years.
If you lose the gamble, then ending the agonizing ordeal early is a form of relief.
She can accept either possibility calmly.
Having suffered greatly, she was already tired of living in constant agony.
If it weren't for her children, she probably would have died long ago.
Now that there is hope for a cure, even if it's only a 50% chance, she's willing to try.
As Wang Aiping spoke, she looked at Grandma Zhao and said, "Cuifen, thank you. If you hadn't brought the child to me, I'm afraid I would still be in excruciating pain right now."
Grandma Zhao then seemed to wake up from a dream, and she grabbed Xia Yuhuan's hand.
"Xiao Huan, are you really, really sure?" Her face was somewhat excited.
Xia Yuhuan nodded gently, "Yes, Grandma Zhao, I can give it my all."
"What if, what if it doesn't work? Will there be any danger?" Grandma Zhao asked softly.
Xia Yuhuan said, "There is no risk without surgery. All I can say is that I will do everything I can to save Grandma Wang's life."
Before Grandma Zhao could say anything more, Wang Aiping spoke up, saying, "That's enough."
"Cuifen, I want to try it."
Grandma Zhao met Wang Aiping's gentle yet firm gaze and gave a wry smile.
"I'm willing to support you in giving it a try, but I'm afraid your little brats will cause me trouble later."
“No, I’ll talk to them beforehand, don’t be afraid,” Wang Aiping added.
"Alright, alright, whatever you say," Grandma Zhao said helplessly.
Xia Yuhuan left a jar of medicine for Wang Aiping.
"If your leg hurts again, have someone apply this to your knee."
"Then rub your hands together to warm them up like I just did, and then gently press on your knees in a clockwise circular motion, massaging gently."
"I'll also prescribe some medicine for you to take orally."
“Okay.” Wang Aiping readily agreed.
“Never mind, there’s a proper way to prepare medicine for internal use. We happen to live in the same compound, so it’s close by. I’ll prepare the medicine and bring it to you directly later,” Xia Yuhuan said.
Her main goal was to add the spiritual spring water to it so that she could help Wang Aiping recover her health more quickly.
If you only take medicine, the effect will be reduced by more than half.
Wang Aiping felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this: "Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"
Xia Yuhuan shook her head: "No, I'll brew all your medicine for the day in the morning, so you can just heat it up when you take it with your meals."
"Then I'll trouble you. You don't need to deliver it; I'll have our housekeeper pick it up every morning," Wang Aiping said immediately, not one to hesitate.
Xia Yuhuan nodded: "That works too."
After a brief conversation, Xia Yuhuan prepared to leave.
Wang Aiping said, "I'll see you off."
Grandma Zhao quickly helped her up: "Your body has only just recovered and you're already going to overdo it? You should lie down and rest. I'll go take Xiao Huan to school. You don't need to do anything."
Wang Aiping smiled and shook her head, saying, "My feet don't hurt anymore. I'm so tired of lying down all these years. Let me get up and sit down; it will make me more comfortable."
Grandma Zhao couldn't refuse her, so she had no choice but to agree.
The two escorted Xia Yuhuan to the door.
"No need to see them off, you two grandmas, please go home. I can get home by myself." Xia Yuhuan waved to the two of them.
"Oh, then I won't see you off, Xiao Huan. I'll chat with Ai Ping a little longer," Grandma Zhao said.
"Okay, you guys chat, don't worry about me." Xia Yuhuan waved her hand and left.
Xia Yuhuan returned home and received a call from Chi Shaokang.
"Xiao Huan, your Uncle Yan has agreed to your proposal. He will arrange for people to protect you."
"Okay, Dad, I'll go back to work tomorrow. Otherwise, how will Xia Jianyong have a chance?"
"Okay," Chi Shaokang replied. "Take good care of yourself."
"Don't worry, Dad, I'm a coward and I value my life. I'll definitely take good care of myself," Xia Yuhuan said with a grin.
She didn't want Chi Shaokang to worry, so she maintained a relaxed demeanor throughout.
Only after hanging up the phone did a serious expression appear on her face.
She was actually far less relaxed and at ease than she appeared on the surface.
Xia Jianyong has been driven into a corner. If he were to launch a counterattack, it would be extremely astonishing.
They might be prepared to fight to the death, or even perish together with her.
Xia Jianyong in this state is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
She only wanted to be the bait to lure Xia Jianyong into a trap, but she absolutely did not want to put herself in a truly dangerous situation.
She needs to prepare some things to save her life.
Xia Yuhuan thought for a moment and went upstairs to the study.
On their floor, only she and Chi Yanzhou lived, and they had a separate, spacious, and extremely comfortable study.
Because she frequently experimented with medicinal herbs, Chi Shaokang even cleaned up an unused guest room and turned it into a separate pharmacy for her, providing her with some experimental equipment and pharmaceutical supplies.
The main thing is to avoid people.
Others rarely disturb her, allowing her to quietly do her own thing.
Xia Yuhuan was tinkering with life-saving gadgets alone in the study until dinner time that evening when she was called downstairs for dinner.
Zhang Xianya was somewhat opposed to Xia Yuhuan using herself as bait to lure Xia Jianyong.
"Xiao Huan, are you really going to do this?" Zhang Xianya asked, her eyes filled with worry.
Xia Yuhuan nodded gently: "Yes, Mom, I've made up my mind."
"Don't worry, Uncle Yan has already made arrangements. I'll be fine," Xia Yuhuan reassured her, holding her hand.
Zhang Xianya pursed her lips.
Of course she knew Xia Yuhuan was right.
But it's better to be safe than sorry; she was also worried about the possibility of something going wrong.
"Take good care of yourself. If things get really bad, protect yourself first before thinking about anything else." That was all Zhang Xianya could say in the end.
“Okay, Mom, I will.” Xia Yuhuan replied with a smile.
The mother and daughter were talking when they heard a noise from outside.
Then, Aunt Wang led the people into the house from outside.
They were Wang Aiping's family members who came specifically to find Xia Yuhuan.
Chi Shaokang was clearly surprised when he saw the person who came.
"Old Zhuang, why did you come in person?" Chi Shaokang asked in surprise as he stepped forward.
Zhuang Weiming smiled faintly: "I'm here to see your daughter-in-law. I have something I'd like to talk to her about."
