Chapter 273 I have no right to forgive anyone for you
A flicker of disbelief and shock flashed in Liang Yizhi's usually calm and collected eyes, which was quickly overwhelmed by an overwhelming sense of distress.
But all of this lasted only a moment before he forcibly calmed it down.
He was her pillar of support, her only support, and he couldn't let her feel hopeless.
“It’s alright,” he gently brushed aside the fine hairs that weren’t too messy on her forehead. “The doctor said this might happen, but it won’t last long.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Ying's anxious brows indeed relaxed.
"Oh, I was so scared!"
Liang Yizhi kissed the back of her hand and called the doctor.
The examination was over in the middle of the night. Ji Ying had a severe concussion and fell into a deep sleep before the examination was finished.
Her primary problem right now is blindness in her left eye.
However, the doctor said this is likely a temporary loss of function caused by hematoma compression. The key is to observe the recovery of optic nerve function after 48 hours, when the hematoma begins to dissipate, in order to determine whether there is irreversible damage and the final degree of vision recovery.
The news wasn't the worst, but Liang Yizhi's jawline remained taut.
At this moment, Jiang Ran emerged from the darkness.
"When Sister Ying was admitted to the hospital and yesterday evening, two groups of people tried to obtain her biological samples, but neither succeeded."
Liang Yizhi's eyes darkened slightly.
Jiang Ran continued, "We cleaned up the bloodstains she left in the company lobby yesterday as soon as possible. As for her after admission, all the medical staff who came into contact with her, from emergency care to examinations, were our people, so there is absolutely no risk of leakage of her biological samples."
"Two groups of people?" Liang Yizhi's gaze swept across the ward door, and he sighed. "Since they haven't given up, why bother with this?"
Jiang Ran was full of questions and didn't understand what he meant.
At this moment, in the Shen residence.
Shen Mu rushed back from outside, and Su Zhi opened the door.
After entering, he bowed slightly to Madam Shen, who was sitting upright.
"Miss Ji has woken up, but... she is blind in her left eye."
Su Zhi couldn't believe it. "Blindness? Is it that serious? The doctor really didn't exaggerate the condition?"
"Suzhi!" Madam Shen's expression darkened, and she spoke up to stop her.
Su Zhi said urgently, "Madam, I'm worried about the Third Miss. If she goes blind, things will get complicated if Ji Ying starts investigating."
Madam Shen stopped looking at her and turned her gaze to Shen Mu: "Where is what I asked you to get?"
Shen Mu looked troubled. "The son-in-law is extremely guarded. The attending physician and nurses are all his people. All of Miss Ji's biological samples were destroyed on the spot after the necessary tests were completed. I had no chance at all. Even the news of her blindness was only found out after going through a lot of trouble."
Madam Shen murmured, "Protecting her so thoroughly... it seems he is deeply in love with her."
“However, the doctor said that blindness may be temporary,” Shen Mu said.
Upon hearing this, Su Zhi's tone revealed her indignation.
"After all, the son-in-law is the one who married the memorial tablet of the eldest daughter. He has misplaced his affection."
"Don't say that," Madam Shen said, frowning.
“Madam,” Su Zhi said, indignant on Shen Aizhu’s behalf, “our investigation revealed that Ji Ying entered the orphanage at age 13 and was adopted by the Lin family, while the eldest young lady disappeared at age 12. There’s a year’s difference; she simply couldn’t be the eldest young lady. Besides, if she were, wouldn’t she have already taken…”
"Enough!" Madam Shen's face suddenly darkened.
Su Zhi quickly shut her mouth.
Shen Mu pondered for a moment, then whispered, "The young master is used to spreading rumors and making things unclear. But this time, his protection of Miss Ji is too high-profile, which seems like he's deliberately trying to provoke speculation."
Madam Shen raised her hand and rubbed her stinging temples, a wave of exhaustion washing over her.
"Perhaps... she really isn't."
As the words fell, an indescribable bitterness quietly spread.
"Perhaps I should accept reality. There aren't that many miracles in this world."
...
Ji Ying woke up again the next afternoon.
The aftereffects of the concussion prevented her from eating anything.
Fortunately, Liang Yizhi was there to patiently accompany him.
Her condition did not improve until the third day.
My left eye regained some light perception, but my vision was still blurry.
Seeing that she still had no appetite, Liang Yizhi magically produced a packet of preserved tangerine peel, picked up a strand, and carefully brought it to her lips.
"Try this."
Ji Ying ate one, and a sweet, salty, and sour taste spread in her mouth, which indeed whetted her appetite.
Upon seeing this, Liang Yi immediately picked up the warm chicken congee from the side, scooped out half a spoonful, carefully blew on it to cool it down, and then brought it to her lips.
"Sweetie, you need to eat to get better."
After a mouthful of warm porridge, Ji Ying felt her blood flow more freely throughout her body.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, a person was fully awake, followed by an intense feeling of hunger.
A bowl of porridge is simply not enough to soothe an empty stomach.
As if he could read her mind, Liang Yizhi gently touched her forehead and then softly stopped her.
"I haven't eaten for two days, so I'll have to eat small, frequent meals today. Just bear with it, there'll be something delicious to eat later."
See, that's just how he is.
He took care of her in every little detail.
Therefore, when Ji Ying was a child, she gave him a nickname that was half complaining and half relying on him – “Guardian”.
Whenever he forbids her from doing something she longs to do, she calls him that to his face.
“Liang Yizhi…”
The man was focused on wiping her hands when he heard this, and softly responded, "Hmm?"
Ji Ying pursed her lips, made up her mind, and said, "I'm going to call the police and get a forensic examination."
Liang Yizhi continued wiping each of her fingers clean before slowly putting down the towel and handing the phone to her.
Ji Ying's gaze was fixed on him. "This time, I won't let Shen Aizhu off the hook."
Liang Yizhi gently held her in his arms. "My entanglement with the Shen family is a matter between the two of us. Madam Shen pleaded for me not to do anything to Shen Aizhu, but I couldn't refuse. I was the one who agreed, not you. I have no right to forgive anyone on your behalf."
Shen Aizhu's actions this time constitute intentional injury.
Ji Ying originally thought that Liang Yizhi would say something superficially supportive but actually a warning to her to weigh the pros and cons, but she did not expect him to be so open and honest.
Without further hesitation, she decisively pressed the emergency call button.
Liang Yizhi watched silently from the sidelines. As she spoke to the police, her tone was calm and her narration was coherent and without any confusion. The heavy look that had been lingering in his eyes gradually faded, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Jiang Ran pushed open the door and came in, announcing, "Mr. Pang has arrived with his wife."
Liang Yizhi remained silent; the decision of whether or not to meet with him rested with Ji Ying, not with him.
Ji Ying thought for two seconds, then said, "Let them in."
Just as Jiang Ran was about to leave, Liang Yizhi said, "My wife has already reported Shen Aizhu's matter to the police, but she needs to rest, so you will be responsible for following up on the follow-up matters."
Jiang Ran paused for a moment, then nodded, "I understand."
Less than two minutes later, Pang Shijun walked in with his wife, carrying gifts in his hands.
"Is your sister-in-law feeling better?"
Pang Shijun's face showed just the right amount of concern, and his gaze first fell on Ji Ying on the bed.
He didn't address her as "President Ji" or "Mrs. Liang," but rather affectionately called her "sister-in-law," which shows the depth of his relationship with Liang Yizhi.
