Chapter 496: A knife in exchange for her trust, it's worth it
The more he said this, the more guilty Jiang Yao felt.
She clearly didn't remember anything, but Lu Zhengze was so nice to her, and she still doubted him.
It would be fine if he was fine, but if anything happened to him, she would never forgive herself.
Time passed by every second. About an hour later, the door of the operating room was opened and the doctor came out.
Jiang Yao hurried forward to ask about his condition.
The doctor said: "Luckily you brought him here in time, and the knife didn't penetrate his heart, so Mr. Lu is temporarily out of danger."
But before Jiang Yao could rejoice, the doctor changed the subject, "However, due to the knife wound, his heart valve was slightly damaged. It would be best if he could go to Country N for surgery to repair it. The equipment there is more advanced and the risk factor is lower."
Jiang Yao's heart tightened, and he asked worriedly, "Is the situation urgent? Do we need to leave the country immediately?"
"It would be best if it were within two days. Once Mr. Lu wakes up, you can discuss it." After explaining the situation, the doctor tactfully left.
Not long after, Lu Zhengze was pushed into the intensive care unit.
Jiang Yao wanted to go in and accompany the patient, but was not allowed.
"Miss, leave this to me first. You can go back and rest tonight. When he wakes up tomorrow, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible." Shen Feng said considerately.
"But..." Jiang Yao was still worried.
"Even if you stay, you can't go in to accompany him. It's better to go back and recuperate so that you can have the strength to talk to the young master tomorrow, right?"
After his repeated dissuasion, Jiang Yao finally left.
After everyone left, Shen Feng pushed the door open and walked to the bedside, “Master, the young lady has confirmed that she has left.”
Lu Zhengze slowly opened his eyes, his gaze clear, "Have you given us all the instructions?"
"Yes." Shen Feng looked at his pale face and said hesitantly: "But since it's a self-torture trick, why do you really want to hurt yourself?"
He initially thought the whole thing was an act, but then he smelled the blood and realized it was real.
"If it's not realistic, with Yaoyao's sharp personality, how could she believe it so easily?"
Lu Zhengze raised his hand and gently touched the wound on his chest, his smile deepening. "Besides, I know my limits. Getting stabbed once is enough to gain Yaoyao's trust. It's worth it."
Shen Feng didn't quite understand.
But there is no questioning his decision.
"Alright, continue with your arrangements. As for Yaoyao, someone must keep an eye on her at all times!" Lu Zhengze ordered coldly, his eyes as dark as ink. "If anything goes wrong, you know the consequences."
Shen Feng's heart tightened, "Yes, I'll do it right away."
Silence soon returned to the ward.
Thinking of Jiang Yao's worried and nervous face, the smile on Lu Zhengze's face gradually spread.
Humans are indeed greedy creatures.
In the past, he thought that as long as he could be with Jiang Yao and see her happy, that would be enough.
Now that she is staying by his side, he wants to tie her up tightly, and his heart and eyes are filled with himself.
Desire is endless.
And he was prepared to bear the price.
Even if hell is what awaits her in the end, he will not hesitate.
…
On Jiang Yao's side, on the way back, she was still thinking about what had just happened.
It all happened so suddenly.
She hadn't reacted before, but now she seemed to sense something strange and unusual.
But when she tried to think carefully about what was wrong, she couldn't figure it out for a while.
After all, a wound that is bleeding cannot be faked.
She witnessed it with her own eyes, and her palms were stained with blood. She went to the sink to wash them several times, but the smell of blood did not go away.
Lu Zhengze would risk his life for her.
This realization made her heart feel heavy.
She turned her head and looked out the window. The road was quite quiet late at night, with only the street lights still illuminating the direction ahead.
But at this moment, a black sports car drove past.
She saw the profile of the man in the passenger seat.
The edges and corners are clear and as deep as a sculpture.
At that moment, her mind seemed to be stimulated, and she opened her eyes unconsciously. When she wanted to look more carefully, the sports car had already gone into the distance.
A trace of regret actually arose in Jiang Yao's heart.
She seemed to have known that person before.
But Lu Zhengze said that she has been living abroad for many years and should not have many acquaintances in China.
She quickly suppressed the inexplicable emotions in her heart and stopped thinking about it.
…
At the same time, Li Beiting, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the black sports car, seemed to sense something and turned around suddenly. There was no trace of other vehicles in his sight.
"Sir, what's wrong?" the driver in the driver's seat asked hurriedly.
"..." Li Beiting felt like he had missed something important, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He turned and asked, "Did you see that car over there?"
The driver blinked blankly, "I didn't pay much attention. Is there something wrong with that car?"
Li Beiting rubbed his brows tiredly and said, "It's okay, keep driving."
The driver felt the low pressure emanating from him and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
…
After Jiang Yao returned home, he thought he would not be able to sleep, but perhaps because he was too tired, he fell asleep within five minutes of touching the pillow.
She began to dream again.
In the dream, in addition to those deep and charming eyes, the outline of the side face also began to become clear.
But the other facial features are really blurry.
Although she couldn't see the man's face clearly, she always held his hand. The two of them sat together quietly. She leaned her head on his shoulder and felt unprecedented peace of mind.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next day, Jiang Yao woke up in a much better state of mind. He went to the kitchen to make soup himself, and then went to the hospital with a lunch box.
When she arrived at the ward, she saw him struggling to sit up on the bed.
"Don't move!"
She hurried over and carefully helped the man up, put a pillow behind him, and let him lean against the head of the bed.
"You just had surgery and your wound hasn't healed yet. How come you got up by yourself?" Jiang Yao said a few words, and his expression quickly turned to guilt. "Sorry, it's me..."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Zhengze interrupted him, "If you say something like, 'You're the one who harmed me,' I'll turn against you."
His tone was gentle, but Jiang Yao felt even more guilty: "But it is true..."
"I blocked it of my own accord. I can only blame myself for not overestimating my own abilities. Who knows, if I hadn't blocked it, you might have spotted it and dodged it! Then, I might have just done something unnecessary."
Lu Zhengze even comforted her in return.
Jiang Yao now felt mixed emotions.
She pursed her lips, and simply stopped arguing, changing the subject, "You should have heard what the doctor said about your condition. You must go abroad for reconstructive surgery as soon as possible."
"I know you'll be very uneasy after just losing your memory and may not want to go abroad. So let me go abroad for treatment alone this time. If it goes well, I might be able to be discharged in ten days or half a month. Then I'll come back and help you find your memory."
