Chapter 105 The Girl's Guilt
The torrential rain that had plagued Beijing for several days finally stopped.
Shen Jingsi stayed by her side for four days and three nights without leaving her side. Lu Zhenyu woke up that evening.
My eyes were dry and swollen from being closed for too long, and it took me a while to regain my vision after staring at the ceiling.
Looking towards the window from the sound of their conversation, I saw the doctor removing the gauze from Shen Jingsi's back.
The wound from the falling rock was quite large, running from the right shoulder to the lower back. It required over a hundred stitches, looking like countless centipedes crawling all over the back, densely packed and winding.
Several threads had come undone, and blood mixed with pus was flowing down.
The doctor poured the iodine directly from above, which stung a little at first, but then became numb.
Shen Jingsi remained silent throughout, his brooding eyes gazing out the window at the blood-red sunset clouds. No one knew what he was thinking.
Lu Zhenyu lay there gazing at her lonely back. The nurse who came in to deliver medicine called out when she saw that she was awake, and Shen Jingsi immediately turned around.
Instinctively, she was about to get up and go over, but before the doctor could stop her, Lu Zhenyu said in a hoarse voice, "Take care of the wound first, I'm fine."
His tone was very gentle, which made Shen Jingsi respond somewhat hesitantly. He then turned around and rushed over, hiding the wound on his back.
This time, the girl was unusually quiet after waking up, allowing the doctor to conduct a series of examinations. Before leaving, the doctor specifically instructed, "Madam Shen, please remember, you must not get emotional again."
After several days of treatment, the male doctor, who originally weighed 150 pounds, visibly lost weight.
Lu Zhenyu blinked, indicating that she wouldn't do it again.
She placed her hands on her stomach, lying there quietly and obediently, staring at Shen Jingsi who was staring intently at her.
Looking at his haggard and emaciated appearance, Lu Zhenyu could almost imagine what she herself would look like at that moment.
The couple were unusually peaceful today. They looked at each other for a long time and smiled knowingly.
When Wang Kai, who brought Xiaomeng over, saw this scene, he finally felt a little relieved.
There were still eight days left until the deadline Shen Jingsi gave him. It wasn't that there were too many things to do, but that he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
He had seen how much effort his boss had put in and how many days and nights he had worked tirelessly to get this marriage certificate.
I really can't bear it.
Xiao Meng had come twice before, both times when Lu Zhenyu was unconscious.
Seeing people again finally brought back some life to the place, and tears streamed down my face.
She didn't dare to speak, so she just lowered her head, clenched her hands, and leaned against the wall, not even having the courage to go over and call out to anyone.
After bandaging the wound, Shen Jingsi put on his clothes, came to the bedside, bent down, and carefully examined the person.
He didn't dare reach out to touch her or kiss her forehead. He figured she must hate having any physical contact with her useless husband right now.
Lu Zhenyu didn't say anything either; the two just looked at each other.
Just then, a nurse rushed in, covered in sweat, and started shouting at everyone she saw.
"Chairman Shen, something terrible has happened, little..."
He was startled back to his words by a look from Shen Jingsi, and glancing at Lu Zhenyu who was following him, he changed his words, "Yes, it's the dean, he wants you to go to the fifth floor."
Shen Jingsi nodded, then glanced at the girl who was looking at him with some doubt, and smiled, "I'll go over there and have Xiaomeng accompany you."
When he walked over to Xiaomeng, he patted her on the shoulder and said, "Keep her company for me. With you around, she'll be happier."
"I will, Mr. Shen."
Watching Shen Jingsi leave, Xiao Meng slowly walked to the bedside.
Seeing her cautious and guilty look, Lu Zhenyu smiled helplessly and reached out to pull her to the bedside.
After going through all this, no one is in a good state.
Seeing that the girl had lost a lot of weight, Lu Zhenyu rubbed her head and asked, "Were you frightened? Are you still in shock?"
If Lu Zhenyu had just said a few words to her today, Xiaomeng would have felt better.
On the contrary, the gentler and calmer he was, the more guilty she felt, the more she wanted to die.
Looking at Lu Zhenyu's hand placed on her flat stomach, Xiaomeng's eyes welled up with tears. Unable to control her surging emotions any longer, she buried her face in Lu Zhenyu's arms and burst into tears.
"I'm sorry, Zhenzhen. It's all my fault. I'm the one who caused this trouble and dragged you all into this."
The girl cried so desperately, but Lu Zhenyu remembered the doctor's advice and controlled her emotions with her breathing.
There will be a day when she sees her child, but not now.
After comforting her for a while, Lu Zhenyu finally asked, "How is Manman?"
Xiaomeng sniffled and choked out, "It's not good. She won't eat or see anyone. Her body is covered in bloody welts from being scrubbed with a steel wool pad."
Lu Zhenyu's heart clenched. "Where's Jin Chuan? Isn't he with her?"
Xiaomeng said, "I accompanied her, but she wouldn't come, so Mr. Jinchuan could only wait outside the bedroom."
Exhaling a long breath, Lu Zhenyu propped herself up.
Seeing that she was about to get out of bed, Xiaomeng quickly stopped her, "No, Zhenzhen, you are still very weak. I know you are worried about Manman, but you can't leave the hospital now."
Hearing the noise, Wang Kai ran over from next door. Just as he was about to offer some advice, Lu Zhenyu looked at him.
"Don't worry, I want to live more than anyone else right now, but I have to go see Manman no matter what. You call your boss, and I'll talk to him."
Wang Kai dialed the phone, and Lu Zhenyu spoke calmly with Shen Jingsi for a few moments.
The phone was handed to Wang Kai.
Standing in the fifth-floor corridor, Shen Jingsi looked at the doctors and nurses running back and forth through the glass windows and said in a calm voice, "Let her go. You accompany her and arrange for doctors and nurses to go with her."
…
When Lu Zhenyu arrived at the Feng family home in her wheelchair, the whole family happened to be gathered in the living room discussing something.
She saw Feng Jinzhou, whose forehead was still bandaged. The man looked at her intently for a moment, and when his gaze fell on her stomach, he swallowed.
Arriving at the most helpless moment for the entire Feng family, Lu Zhenyu was like a ray of light, illuminating the worries of Feng's second mother who had been concerned about her niece for many days.
He personally escorted the child to the bedroom door upstairs, saying, "Child, I'm counting on you."
Lu Zhenyu smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, Manman will get better."
Feng's mother had seen the Lu family's daughter before; she was just young and beautiful at the time.
Now look at it...
Feng's mother, who always practiced vegetarianism and chanted Buddhist prayers, gently rubbed Lu Zhenyu's cheek with a touch of tenderness. "Poor child, things will get better. You've endured all the hardships in the first half of your life, so the second half will be all about enjoying happiness."
Lu Zhenyu smiled and said, "Then I'll accept your kind words, Auntie."
After escorting the person into the bedroom and closing the door, Feng's mother sighed a few times.
It was already dark, and with the lights off and the curtains drawn tight, it took Lu Zhenyu a while to adjust before she got out of her wheelchair.
Guided by her memory, she found her way from the living room to the bedroom, which was locked. She knocked lightly twice. "Manman, are you asleep?"
The room was quiet at first, then a series of footsteps were heard, the locked door was opened, and Feng Manman rushed into Lu Zhenyu's arms.
"Zhenzhen!"
Feng Manman's voice was hoarse from the stress of her emotions, "I'm sorry, I know you're in the hospital, and I wanted to see you, but I didn't have the courage to leave this bedroom. I'm sorry, I don't deserve to be your sister at all."
Lu Zhenyu held the thin, bony girl in his arms and gently stroked her head. "Silly girl, what is there to apologize for? I'm perfectly fine."
Okay...
Holding the person tightly, Feng Manman felt her heart breaking as she felt the other person's flat stomach.
It's all her fault, all her fault. Her daughter, who hadn't even had a chance to see the world, was killed because of her.
At this moment, Feng Manman hated herself.
“I am a sinner, Zhenzhen. I was too proud and arrogant, which allowed them to take advantage of the situation and harm you and the baby. I am the one who deserves to die.”
