Chapter 372
"Fourth brother, don't be angry. Look at me. I'm fine." After hearing the familiar concerned voice, Xia Ruoan looked over.
Ouyang Jin walked towards her quickly with a worried look on his face, his eyes fixed on her. Especially when he saw the shocking gauze on Xia Ruoan's head, his face turned pale instantly.
"You've got such a big hole on your head, and you still dare to say you're fine!"
"You really made me worry so much. You're lucky to have escaped this time, but don't let this happen again next time!"
"From now on, no matter where you go, none of the bodyguards following you will be allowed to leave. I will arrange for someone to find you a reliable female bodyguard as soon as possible to protect your safety."
Ouyang Jin frowned and spoke in a serious tone.
Obviously, this accident scared him badly.
As he spoke, Ouyang Jin seemed to suddenly remember something and handed over the milk cake in his hand: "I know you like this the most, so I bought it especially for you."
After saying that, he reached out and gently rubbed Xia Ruoan's hair. His movements were extremely gentle, for fear of accidentally touching the wound on her head.
Thinking of something, he looked at his second brother Zhong Zishu and said, "Second brother, can she eat now? After all, she just got injured..."
Ouyang Jin turned to look at Zhong Zishu, his eyes full of questions.
Zhong Zishu shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of the taboo of not eating after being injured.
After receiving a positive answer, Ouyang Jin heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and said softly to Xia Ruoan, "Since Big Brother didn't say that you can't eat, then Ruoan, take some and eat it quickly, it will fill your stomach."
"I bought a lot, you and the kids can have some."
"Oh..." Xia Ruoan nodded obediently and then began to explore based on his sense of smell.
The air was filled with a rich milky aroma. She couldn't help swallowing and thought: It must be delicious!
Ouyang Jin looked at Xia Ruoan in shock, staring at the heart-wrenching scene in front of him.
I saw her stretching out her hands and groping in the air, as if she was in darkness and couldn't find the direction.
At this moment, the milk cake that he was holding tightly in his hand suddenly slipped and fell on the bed with a dull sound.
When Niannian saw this, he quickly reached out and picked up the milk cake, worried that it would hit his mother.
Ouyang Jin's face was filled with anger. He turned to Leng Zexi who was holding Ruo An and asked in a stern voice, "What happened?"
His voice exploded in the air like thunder.
Then, he raised his voice again and shouted, "Let me ask you! What's going on with Ruoan's eyes?"
"Didn't you tell me that I just had to wait for her to wake up? Why has it become like this now?!"
Ouyang Jin became more and more agitated, and veins popped out on his forehead.
Seeing this, Zhong Zishu hurriedly stepped forward, trying to pull Ouyang Jin, who was almost out of control, away, and comforted him: "Jin, calm down first, okay."
"We are still not sure about the exact situation. We will know after Big Brother takes Ruo'an for a detailed examination."
"Roan's blindness may only be temporary."
However, Ouyang Jin simply couldn't listen to these words. He shook off Zhong Zishu's hand and continued to ask: "Is it possible? Does that mean it's possible to be blind for the rest of your life?"
Faced with Ouyang Jin's aggressive questioning, Zhong Zishu shook his head helplessly and sighed softly: "Maybe...but this is just a possibility."
"Of course, there is the worst possible outcome of permanent blindness, but before that, all speculations are meaningless. Let's just wait patiently for the test results, okay?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Jin's face turned pale as paper. He grabbed Zhong Zishu by the collar and asked through gritted teeth, "That means there is a real possibility that we will never see it again, right?"
Zhong Zishu looked at the nearly crazy Ouyang Jin and could only nod silently.
"Can you please calm down and wait for the results?" Zhong Zishu said, holding his hand.
Ouyang went up and took Ouyang Jin's hand away, asking him to let go of Zhong Zishu first.
Ouyang Jin was really angry at this moment. He turned around and rushed towards Leng Zexi, pointing at her and yelling, "Leng Zexi, is this how you take care of people? You actually let her get into a car accident. Are you worthy of my trust in you?"
After hearing this, Gao Liang slowly turned his head and his gaze fell on Leng Zexi. A barely perceptible trace of guilt flashed across his eyes.
In fact, it was Ruoan himself who was the real culprit who caused him to become what he is now.
At this moment, Xia Ruo'an also heard these remarks. Her face was full of disapproval and helplessness: "Fourth Brother!"
Her injury this time had nothing to do with Zexi, so how could he say such irresponsible words?
Xia Ruoan held Leng Zexi's hand tightly, shook her head vigorously, and said softly: "Zexi, this is really not your fault."
At this moment, Mu Shen just walked in and happened to hear what Ouyang Jin said.
His face darkened and he shouted, "Xiao Si, if you don't know how to speak, just shut up. No one thinks you're dumb."
Ouyang Jin was not convinced and asked seriously, "Am I wrong? Ruo An is his wife. Isn't it because he didn't take good care of her that she is in this state now?"
Ouyang Jin was obviously intimidated by Mu Shen's momentum, but he still responded indignantly: "Brother, am I wrong? As a husband, it is his responsibility to protect Ruoan."
However, before he could finish his words, Mu Shen interrupted him rudely: "Are you asking Zexi to stay with Ruoan 24 hours a day?"
"I'm busy doing various tests and treatments for Ruo'an, so I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. You're not in your right mind, okay? I can help you contact a psychiatrist, so go over and have a look yourself!"
After saying that, Mu Shen glared at Ouyang Jin fiercely.
Afterwards, Mu Shen ignored him and turned around to gently push the wheelchair that was prepared at the side over, and instructed Leng Zexi: "Zexi, quickly carry Ruoan to the wheelchair, I will take her over for examination."
"Okay." Leng Zexi replied softly, then gently lifted the quilt.
He carefully stretched out his arms, as if he was holding the most precious and fragile treasure in the world, slowly picked up Xia Ruoan, and gently placed her on the wheelchair that had been prepared beside him.
Throughout the whole process, his eyes were always on Xia Ruoan, full of concern and love.
Leng Zexi did not get angry in the face of Ouyang Jin's reproach.
Because he knew in his heart that what Ouyang Jin said made no sense.
Xia Ruoan's injury this time was indeed related to him. If he had been more resolute at the time and forced a bodyguard to follow her into the school and protect her, perhaps he could have stopped her from acting impulsively in time, and perhaps all this would not have happened.
However, it was no use regretting it now. He only hoped that Xia Ruoan could recover as soon as possible.
Leng Zexi knew very well that stopping Xia Ruoan from saving people might be a bit cruel, but compared to letting her be in danger and get hurt, he would rather choose to be the cruel person.
Because if the situation really becomes irreparable and Xia Ruoan feels guilty for not being able to save that person, then all the responsibility and pain will be borne by him alone.
After all, in Leng Zexi's heart, Xia Ruoan's safety is above everything else, and he will never allow her to suffer any harm.
Xia Ruoan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly reached out and grabbed Leng Zexi's hand, and said softly: "Fourth brother, this time I was injured because I insisted on saving people. This has nothing to do with Zexi."
"If you want to blame someone, you can come to me. You can say anything nasty, even beat me or scold me, but please don't blame Zexi. He worries about me just as much as you do."
After saying that, Xia Ruoan raised her head and stared at Leng Zexi with her eyes as clear as water. Even though she couldn't see, her eyes were full of trust and dependence.
"I am deeply sorry, and I am still frightened when I think back to that moment. When I was hit by the car and fell to the ground, and saw Ningning fall and cry, I was filled with guilt. I never thought about how you would face it if something happened to me."
"It would be very sad and upsetting, wouldn't it?"
"However, I knew that if I didn't do that, I would regret it for the rest of my life."
"So whether it's temporary or permanent blindness, I think it's worth it."
"I have no regrets in exchanging my eyes for Senior Brother Gao's life. Even if I were given another chance to choose, my decision would remain the same."
"But I feel guilty and apologetic towards Zexi, the children and you." Xia Ruoan looked at them firmly and said.
Ouyang Jin's eyes had already turned red, and tears flowed out involuntarily, quietly sliding down his cheeks.
He choked up and said, "Ruoan, I would rather you were more selfish and think more about yourself."
"Do you understand what blindness means?" Ouyang Jin asked worriedly.
"Fourth brother, there are many blind people in this world, and they live wonderful lives as well."
"I've seen everything I should have seen, and I remember your looks in my heart. Compared to those who are born blind, I'm lucky enough." Xia Ruoan comforted them in return.
Everyone present was moved by what she said. They wanted to comfort her, but they didn't expect that she had already comforted herself.
"Don't cry, Fourth Uncle. Mom still has us. We will take good care of her." Sui Sui said, holding Ouyang Jin's hand.
"I can be my mother's eyes. If she can't see, I will tell her. Besides, my uncle is very powerful and will cure her." Sui Sui looked up at him and said.
Ouyang Jin squatted down sadly and hugged Sui Sui.
