[Chapter 285 Hemiplegia]
It was three days later when Lin Yin woke up. She opened her eyes drowsily and looked at the ceiling blankly.
"You're awake!" A familiar male voice came to my ears.
Lin Yin tilted her head and saw Huo Jingze's tired face with dark circles under his eyes.
She subconsciously showed concern and raised her hand to touch the man's face, "Why do you look so tired? Didn't you get enough rest?"
When I spoke, I found my voice was hoarse and weak.
Lin Yin asked blankly, "What's wrong with me?"
Suddenly, the scene on the cliff flashed through her mind, and Sun Qing'er fell straight down the cliff in front of her.
Lin Yin's face suddenly turned pale.
Huo Jingze quickly hugged her into his arms and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's all over."
Lin Yin couldn't stop shaking in his arms, "Sun Qing'er, is she, is she dead?"
Huo Jingze shook his head. "The cliff wasn't too high. The man didn't die, but he became paralyzed. Elder Ni has seen him. Even he couldn't cure him. He will have to lie in bed for the rest of his life."
Lin Yin closed her eyes, feeling mixed and heavy, "I didn't mean to kick her down..."
Huo Jingze rubbed her head and comforted her, "Sun Qing'er got what she deserved for stealing a chicken but losing the rice. You were acting in self-defense. Believe me, I will be fine."
"Have the police been here?"
"They came, but you were unconscious and couldn't give a statement, so they went back first."
Huo Jingze asked with concern: "How do you feel now? If possible, I will ask the police to come and take a statement."
Lin Yin raised her head from his arms and hummed.
Huo Jingze walked out of the room to make arrangements. There were quite a few people sitting in the living room, including Ni Lu, Old Man Lan, and Lan Yuanzhou.
Seeing him come out, several people looked at him with concern.
Lan Yuanzhou asked anxiously: "Is Sister Lin awake?"
Huo Jingze nodded, "He's awake and in good spirits."
All three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sun Qing'er's fall from the cliff needs to be properly resolved. I'm going to have the police come over and take a statement first."
Old Master Lan nodded and said calmly, "It does need to be properly resolved. I heard from the servants that the woman was making a big fuss in the hospital, shouting that it was Miss Lin who pushed her off the cliff. It had a very bad impact."
Huo Jingze's handsome face sank slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved coldly, "Put the blame on someone else."
"Sister Lin was almost strangled to death by that bad woman. Brother Huo, you must not let her go!"
Lan Yuanzhou spoke indignantly, his face flushed red.
Ni Lu looked a little serious and reminded: "Although it was Sun Qing'er who attempted murder, we still have to handle it carefully and don't let any accidents affect Xiaoyin's reputation."
Huo Jingze nodded to show that he understood, "Don't worry, I will handle it properly."
…
Half an hour later, several uniformed policemen entered the Lan family, greeted Grandpa Lan first, and then followed Huo Jingze to Lin Yin.
Huo Jingze helped Lin Yin sit up and put a pillow behind her so that she could be more comfortable.
There was no color on her face and her mouth was pale, but the purple bruises on her neck were particularly noticeable.
Huo Jingze's eyes darkened, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
The police took out a notebook and pen and said, "Ms. Lin, how do you feel now? Let's take your statement."
Lin Yin nodded slightly: "I'm fine, I can tell you."
Police: "Then tell me what happened first."
Lin Yin took a deep breath and said slowly, "Sun Qing'er disguised herself as a villager, mixed in with the crowd and went up the mountain with us. She knocked me out when I wasn't paying attention. When I woke up, I found myself lying on the edge of a cliff. She suddenly became very emotional and said that she wanted me to die a miserable death. Then she rushed over and tried to strangle me. I subconsciously resisted and kicked her, and she fell down."
The policeman took notes and asked, "Has there been any conflict between you before this?"
Lin Yin: "There are some contradictions..."
After finishing speaking, the police nodded, and then looked at Huo Jingze: "Mr. Huo, were you at the scene at that time?"
Huo Jingze shook his head: "When I arrived, I saw them at the edge of the cliff, and Sun Qing'er had already fallen down."
Police: "Did anyone else see what happened?"
Lin Yin thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. It was very remote at the time and I didn't see anyone else there."
"Okay, Ms. Lin, we'll stop here for your statement. If there's any need later, we may come back to see you. You should have a good rest and recover as soon as possible."
After the police left, Lin Yin leaned on the hospital bed, looking exhausted.
Huo Jingze held her hand and said distressedly: "Don't think too much, have a good rest."
Lin Yin looked at him: "I still feel uneasy. Sun Qing'er has become like that. I..."
Huo Jingze interrupted her: "This is not your fault, she brought it upon herself. If you hadn't reacted quickly, you would be the one lying in the hospital bed now, or even worse."
Lin Yin sighed: "I know, but I still can't help thinking about it."
Huo Jingze gently stroked her cheek: "Have a good rest and don't let garbage occupy your brain."
"Sun Qing'er is paralyzed on one side." Lin Yin grabbed Huo Jingze's hand, worry in her eyes, "I'm afraid the Sun family will take revenge on my father and his family."
Especially Chen Ailian, who dotes on her daughter, no one knows what she will do if she goes crazy.
Huo Jingze had thought of this a long time ago, and he soothed her softly, "Don't worry, I've already called your brother and asked him to take the two elders to the capital and put them in the house I prepared. It's safe."
Unexpectedly, he thought so carefully. Lin Yin felt relieved. "That's good."
"Okay, don't think about anything else. Mr. Ni said you were severely frightened and need to rest well."
Huo Jingze took away the pillow and asked her to lie down flat, "Go to sleep."
Lin Yin closed her eyes obediently.
Huo Jingze stayed by her side, gently stroking her cheek with his hand, his eyes full of tenderness and care.
His gaze fell on the purple marks on her neck, and his eyes suddenly became cold.
After Lin Yin's breathing gradually became steady and she fell into a deep sleep, he tiptoed out of the room.
Met Ni Lu in the living room.
Huo Jingze called out to him, "Mr. Ni."
Upon hearing this, Ni Lu looked up at him and waved, motioning him to come over.
Huo Jingze sat on a single sofa and asked, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
"Sun Qing'er's legs..." Ni Lu hesitated to speak.
Huo Jingze knew what Ni Lu wanted to say. He lied to Lin Yin. In fact, Ni Lu could cure Sun Qing'er's leg, but he stopped him.
His eyes were cold. "Mr. Ni, I understand that you have been curing illnesses and saving lives all your life, and you have high moral standards. But Sun Qing'er, a scourge that stands up, will only do evil. If you don't treat her, you are actually preventing more tragedies, which is a good deed. Don't you agree?"
Ni Lu sighed, "A doctor is a benevolent person. It is his duty to save the dying and the wounded, regardless of the patient's origin. But she is really abominable. She first killed Xiaoyin's child and then almost strangled Xiaoyin to death... For Xiaoyin's safety, I would rather violate the ethics of a doctor.
