Chapter 605: A Crowd of Visitors
"Mr. Shi... he might never be able to stand up again..."
Hearing this, Xiao Muzhen's face suddenly turned pale.
"What do you mean...can't stand up..."
Xun Zi sighed and said slowly, "The doctor said that his legs were deformed from being pressed while trying to protect you... He'll have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair..."
Xiao Muzhen lowered her eyes, feeling guilty and regretful. If she hadn't asked Shi Yiheng to send her back, this wouldn't have happened.
wrong……
She suddenly remembered that when the truck rushed towards them, it not only did not change direction, but also accelerated.
It was obvious that this was premeditated.
Is it directed at her, or at Shi Yiheng? !
Seeing that Xiao Muzhen didn't say anything, Xun Zi was a little worried. "Zhenzhen, the most important thing now is for you to recover from your injuries first. We can talk about other things after you are well. As for the Shi family, we, the Xiao family, owe them such a great favor. Your father and I will find a way to repay them."
"No, this is something I owe Shi Yiheng. I'll find a way. If his legs really can't stand up, I'll take care of him for the rest of his life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open.
They both looked outside the door at the same time and saw Shi Yiheng sitting in a wheelchair, his body covered with wounds, looking very seriously injured.
"Mu Zhen, you don't have to take care of me for the rest of my life just because of this incident. I volunteered to protect you. Even if it happened again, even if I knew the outcome, I would still make the same choice. You don't have to feel any psychological burden."
The most important thing is that he doesn't want to use his kindness to Xiao Muzhen to tie her to him.
Although he really wanted to do this, he hoped that Xiao Muzhen would be happy even more.
"When I feel better, I'll help check your legs. If you really can't stand up, I'll take responsibility."
Xiao Muzhen's eyes were firm. Shi Yiheng had done so much for her. It would be a lie for her to say that she was not touched. She also couldn't let Shi Yiheng bear the consequences alone.
Shi Yiheng unconsciously clenched his hands on the wheelchair armrests. After more than ten seconds, he slowly said, "Aunt Xun, can I talk to Mu Zhen alone?"
"Of course, Zhenzhen, I'll go out and buy you something to eat."
Xun Zi pushed Shi Yiheng into the ward and left. The ward suddenly fell into silence.
In the end, it was Shi Yiheng who spoke first: "Mu Zhen, I don't want you to stay by my side and take care of yourself out of gratitude. That way, both of our lives will be unhappy."
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips, looked at Shi Yiheng and said, "Whether it's gratitude or something else, I should be responsible for your leg. If your leg can't be healed, staying by your side is what I should do. As for whether to accept it or not, it's your choice. I won't force you, but I won't change my decision either."
When Yiheng heard this, helplessness flashed in his eyes. He wanted to persuade her again, but Xiao Muzhen spoke before him: "Alright, don't say anything. It's you who injured your leg. Do you still need you to comfort me? I already feel very guilty. Don't make me feel more guilty."
"All right."
"By the way, have the police released any results of their investigation into this incident? Was it an accident or was it intentional?"
Speaking of this matter, Shi Yiheng's face became extremely ugly, and his eyes were so cold that they almost froze.
"It can be basically concluded that the driver did it on purpose, but he refused to say anything and only insisted that he was drunk."
"I understand. I will definitely find out what happened!"
Shi Yiheng looked at her with a worried look on his face.
"The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health first, and then worry about other things."
Xiao Muzhen turned her head and met Shi Yiheng's affectionate eyes, and was stunned for a moment.
She quickly turned her head away and sighed, "I should have been the one comforting you, but in the end you ended up comforting me."
"Haha, when I first woke up, I couldn't accept that I would never be able to stand up again, but these past two days I've been thinking, if I could never stand up again or something happened to you, I would choose the former without hesitation. At least I still protected you, didn't I?"
Xiao Muzhen didn't know what she felt in her heart, she just felt her nose was a little sour and her eyes were a little dry.
"Fool."
She had never seriously examined Shi Yiheng's feelings for her before, but now she realized that he loved her so deeply.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Have a good rest. I'm in the next ward. Call me if you need anything."
"good."
Not long after Shi Yiheng left, Xun Zi came back.
She was holding a small bowl of wontons in her hand, and her face looked a little ugly.
"Mom, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Xun Zi shook her head. "It's okay. I bought you some wontons. Do you want me to feed you or do you want to eat them yourself?"
"I'll do it myself."
Although Xiao Muzhen was in pain all over her body, she was only slightly injured and nothing serious was happening.
While she was eating wontons, Xun Zi sat beside her, with a look of wanting to say something but hesitant.
Xiao Muzhen didn't ask any further questions. After finishing her wontons, she looked at Xun Zi and said, "Mom, I have something to tell you."
"What?"
"If Shi Yiheng's leg can't be cured, I've decided to marry him."
"no!"
Xun Zi suddenly raised her voice, and after coming to her senses, her expression changed. She quickly said, "Zhenzhen, we can repay him in other ways. You don't need to make such a big sacrifice."
Xiao Muzhen shook his head. "Compared to him never being able to stand up again, this isn't much of a sacrifice. Besides, it's also my responsibility."
"But you don't love him..."
Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "Whether I love him or not is no longer important to me. Besides, feelings can be cultivated. He is such a good person. If I don't love him at first, maybe after a while, I will like him."
"What about Huo Yunting?!"
"Huo Yunting?"
Xiao Muzhen frowned, his expression turning cold. "He and I have no relationship at all anymore, and... haven't you always told me not to get back together with him? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Meeting Xiao Muzhen's puzzled gaze, Xun Zi's hands hanging by his side tightened unconsciously.
"I thought... you still loved him... I think marriage still needs feelings..."
"Okay, Mom, I've made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me anymore. I know what I'm doing."
Seeing Xiao Muzhen's determined expression, Xun Zi felt extremely uncomfortable and asked tentatively, "If one day you find out that Huo Yunting left you for a reason, will you forgive him?"
"Maybe, but no matter what his reasons are, what's missed is missed. It's impossible to start over. We can just be strangers."
"Forget it. I don't understand the affairs of you young people. It's up to you. As long as you don't regret it, it's fine."
Xiao Muzhen lowered her eyes and said nothing. Whether she would regret it or not was not something she had the right to say.
After all, Shi Yiheng just told her that he didn't regret it, and if he had to do it again, he would make the same choice.
Outside the ward, a tall figure turned and slowly left.
