Perhaps because his entire head was covered, and only Lu Zhengjun's eyes were visible, he didn't seem particularly shocked when he heard the news.
Only Lu Zhengjun herself knew the earth-shaking tremors she was experiencing at that moment.
"Lu Tuan, are you alright?" the doctor asked reluctantly, seeing that Lu Zhengjun remained silent.
He didn't even need to ask that question.
Who can remain indifferent after hearing this news?
Even men who have already given birth would be furious, devastated, shocked and unwilling to accept it, let alone a young man like Lu Zhengjun who has not yet given birth.
Even doctors who have witnessed countless hardships are at a loss for words at this moment to alleviate the patient's pain.
"It's nothing," Lu Zhengjun said, her voice a little hoarse.
"Actually, not having children isn't a big deal. You and Dr. Su could consider adopting a child, or if you have siblings, you could adopt one of their children..."
The doctors have already started trying to find ways to help Lu Zhengjun "have an heir".
When Su Yueya ran up, she overheard the doctor's words and immediately understood that Lu Zhengjun already knew that she was infertile.
"Husband!" Su Yueya rushed to the bedside without thinking.
She longed to hug Lu Zhengjun and comfort him, but he was wrapped in bandages, and she dared not touch him too hard.
She thought of holding his hand again, to give him strength.
Looking down, all you could see were two large, white fists wrapped up like rice dumplings, which you couldn't even touch.
Su Yueya: "..."
For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
Why can't you even comfort Lu Zhengjun?
Why is she so useless?
Snap—
Tears fell, landing on Lu Zhengjun's bandage, disappearing in an instant, leaving only a dark, damp stain. Before long, after it dries, it will be completely invisible.
You wouldn't guess that there were tears of heartache for him here.
"Honey, it's okay, none of that matters!"
"Nothing else matters, it doesn't matter if I have children or not, as long as I have you, as long as you can survive!"
Every word Su Yueya said was from the heart.
Lu Zhengjun wanted to smile at Su Yueya, to stop her from crying—but he couldn't see any expression on his face at all, only his eyes were visible, and he dared not let his eyes reveal his truest thoughts.
Therefore, in Su Yueya's view, Lu Zhengjun only glanced at her "very calmly".
That glance made Su Yueya feel even more heartbroken.
"Husband..." She now understood what it meant to have a thousand words to say, but be speechless when she opened her mouth.
"Thank you, doctor. I understand," Lu Zhengjun said to the doctor.
The doctor looked at the two of them and felt sorry for them.
Any words of comfort would seem so shallow as to lead such a young couple to accept a future without children.
In the end, all emotions turned into a sigh.
“Dr. Su,” the doctor looked at Su Yueya and advised her, “spend more time with Lu Tuan. You need to pay more attention to Lu Tuan’s rehabilitation and mental health in the later stages.”
"Okay, thank you for your help." Su Yueya thanked the doctor.
The doctor left, leaving the ward to the two of them.
"Husband, you scared me to death! Do you know how terrified I was when you were unconscious!" Su Yueya could no longer hold back her emotions, but she still tried her best not to cry in front of Lu Zhengjun.
How can we trouble a seriously injured patient to comfort her instead?
“I’m sorry…” Lu Zhengjun said in a hoarse voice.
He broke his promise.
He promised to come back safely, but now Su Yueya sees him like this.
Whatever the reason, he felt that he had let Su Yueya down.
"Don't say that!" Su Yueya couldn't stand it anymore; her carefully restrained emotions were on the verge of collapsing. "I won't allow you to say that!"
"Don't worry... I will definitely cure you!"
"Whether it's your burns or your infertility, I will heal you. Believe me, I can definitely do it!"
Lu Zhengjun simply shook her head.
The doctor has already made it very clear that it's not that he doesn't trust Su Yueya, but that people have to learn to accept their fate.
Some things cannot be changed simply by refusing to admit defeat.
It's not something you can achieve just by saying you'll try your best.
“Crescent Moon, I know this can’t be cured,” Lu Zhengjun said.
In that short moment, his mind was filled with a great deal of thoughts, from the initial shock, collapse, and pain to the eventual acceptance, acknowledgment, and abandonment.
He was in great pain, but he should bear and process that pain alone; there was no reason for him to drag Su Yueya down with him.
Lu Zhengjun would rather hear Su Yueya complain and blame him than have her suffer with him.
"Rather than having hope first and then being disappointed, it's better to accept reality from the beginning and not have any unrealistic expectations."
Lu Zhengjun lowered her eyes, hiding all her emotions.
Perhaps this way, the pain will be less.
"You're wrong to say that. We should always have hope. I'm a doctor. What use am I if I can't even cure my own husband?"
"There must be a way, I will definitely find a way!"
Su Yueya was very persistent, and her persistence was not unfounded, because there was also the power of space that could help her.
Wait until you've tried before saying it's impossible, instead of giving up before even trying.
Lu Zhengjun stopped refuting Su Yueya. He looked at her with eyes as deep as the sea.
After a long silence, he finally spoke again.
"Crescent Moon, I'm disfigured, and... I won't be able to have children anymore. Are you still willing to be my wife?" Lu Zhengjun asked, mustering his courage.
He knew that a real man should let go at this point.
But he was so reluctant to part with it...
He originally thought Su Yueya was just a dream he had stolen. How lucky he was to have enjoyed the happiness of his dream coming true halfway through the journey.
But fate is cruel; it gave him happiness, only to take it away in such a heartbreaking way.
He really couldn't bear to part with it.
But now, he is no longer good enough for her.
He's in this state now, and he'll definitely have large areas of scars on his skin in the future. He's terrified that Su Yueya will be scared to death if she sees him disfigured.
"Yes, of course I'm willing!" Su Yueya didn't hesitate for a second.
The moment Lu Zhengjun finished speaking, she responded to him urgently, letting him know her determination.
"Lu Zhengjun, I promise you," Su Yueya solemnly raised her hand as if swearing an oath, "as long as you don't abandon me, I will always be your wife, and I will never, ever leave you!"
"Regardless of whether you are disfigured or not, regardless of whether we will have children in the future."
"I only want you to be my husband, only you!"
