Sha Zhu had previously considered this possibility, thinking that if Jia Dongxu were to die in an accident, he might have a chance to get close to Qin Huairu, or perhaps even take the opportunity to win over this young wife.
When that moment arrived, Shazhu felt that everything was so unreal.
Could it be that Heaven heard his wish and sent misfortune upon Jia Dongxu, allowing him to win the heart of his beloved?!
Sha Zhu rubbed his buttocks against the seat so that his arms could better encircle Qin Huairu's delicate body.
Feeling Qin Huairu's trembling body, Sha Zhu's heart was breaking. If it weren't for that old hag Jia Zhangshi behind him, he would have loved to warm this little woman.
As Sha Zhu rode his bike, he was lost in thought, while Qin Huairu was immersed in her grief and completely oblivious to Sha Zhu's actions and thoughts.
Meanwhile, Jia Zhangshi, sitting on the back seat, gripped Sha Zhu's cotton-padded coat with both hands, constantly urging him to ride faster.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Sha Zhu helped inquire about the situation, asking the nurses where a patient named Jia Dongxu, sent from the steel mill, was receiving treatment.
Once they found the location, Jia Zhangshi immediately spotted Yi Zhonghai waiting outside the emergency room.
With tears in her eyes, Jia Zhangshi ran over, grabbed Yi Zhonghai by the collar, and asked about Jia Dongxu's situation while crying.
Yi Zhonghai couldn't lie at this point, since Jia Dongxu was being treated in the emergency room. He could only solemnly tell Jia Zhangshi to prepare for the worst.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."
Seeing that Jia Zhangshi had fainted, Yi Zhonghai quickly grabbed both of her arms. Another of Yi Zhonghai's apprentices and the workshop leader rushed forward to help, dragging Jia Zhangshi to a bench nearby.
On one side, Madam Jia fainted on the spot, and on the other side, Qin Huairu was also about to fall. Sha Zhu hurriedly supported her when he saw this.
Qin Huairu leaned against Sha Zhu's chest, oblivious to everything. Right now, all she could think about was that Jia Dongxu in the emergency room had a chance of survival, otherwise the family would be ruined.
"Sister Qin, don't be too sad. Dongxu will be alright."
Sha Zhu stayed with Qin Huairu outside the ward, waiting for a miracle.
When no one was paying attention, Sha Zhu said to Qin Huairu again, "Sister Qin, don't think too much. We just hope Dongxu is alright. If anything happens to him, I'll still be here for you. I definitely won't let you and the child go hungry."
Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu blankly. At this moment, she was only concerned about Jia Dongxu's safety and did not understand the deeper meaning in Sha Zhu's words.
A nurse came out once during the process and asked Jia Dongxu's family to sign some papers.
After hearing the nurses say that the situation was not optimistic, Jia Zhangshi fainted again.
During this time, Sha Zhu was busy running around, behaving extremely attentively.
But once he stopped and saw Qin Huairu's delicate, tearful appearance, Sha Zhu felt his selfish desires grow stronger, and in his heart, he had already sentenced Jia Dongxu to death.
He kept thinking about how to gradually incorporate Qin Huairu into his life, but of course, even if he had a relationship with Qin Huairu, it wouldn't stop him from getting married and having children.
It wasn't until 6 p.m. that the emergency room door opened and several doctors came out.
Yi Zhonghai was the first to run up, followed by Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu.
Seeing the doctor's serious expression, the three of them felt a chill run down their spines.
"Thanks to our emergency treatment, the patient's life has been temporarily saved."
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Jia Zhangshi almost fainted again from excitement, but Yi Zhonghai reached out to support her: "Sister-in-law, did you hear that? Dongxu is alright, he's alright!!!"
However, Sha Zhu, standing behind them, also felt a jolt of fear. They weren't dead? How could this be?!
How could Jia Dongxu not die?!
If he doesn't die, how can my plan be carried out?!
However, the doctor's next words dealt a heavy blow to Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhangshi, and Qin Huairu.
"His life has been saved for now. In order to save his life, both of his legs have been amputated. Even if he pulls through, he will be bedridden for the rest of his life."
"What?! Why did you cut off my son's leg?! Why?!?"
Jia Zhangshi rushed forward and grabbed the doctor's white coat, screaming at the top of her lungs.
Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice quickly stepped forward to pull Jia Zhangshi away. "Sister-in-law, I am also very sad that Dongxu has lost his legs, but the doctor just said that his legs were amputated in order to save his life!"
With tears in his eyes, Yi Zhonghai kept explaining to Jia Zhangshi.
Jia Zhangshi rolled her eyes and went on.
The group had no choice but to put it back on a nearby bench.
The doctor did not blame the patient's family for Jia Zhangshi's madness, but instead called Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu over.
"I just said that the patient's life has only been saved temporarily. It depends on the subsequent treatment. If the patient's wound becomes infected or develops other diseases, it will still endanger his life."
Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu only half understood what they were hearing, but that didn't stop them from nodding numbly.
When Sha Zhu heard that Jia Dongxu had both legs amputated, he felt a sense of relief. Although he was still alive, thankfully he could only live in bed.
Sha Zhu instantly went from looking dejected to being positive.
Jia Dongxu was still unconscious when he was wheeled out of the emergency room.
The moment Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu saw Jia Dongxu, they burst into tears.
"Mom, don't cry. As long as you're alive, that's all that matters," Qin Huairu comforted Jia Zhangshi while crying.
Madam Jia Zhang also came to her senses from the great grief; to her, the fact that her son was alive was already a blessing from heaven.
Sha Zhu took care of all the running errands. After getting the money from the workshop leader, Sha Zhu bought daily necessities for the hospital. Then Yi Zhonghai gave him some more money to buy food for the group.
Seeing that Jia Dongxu's lower body was empty, Sha Zhu felt full of energy. He really wanted to lift the blanket and see where it was cut off and whether that thing was still there.
Yi Zhonghai was still feeling numb. After dinner, seeing that it was getting late, he decided to let everyone go home first.
"Sister-in-law, you and Huairu should go back today and come back tomorrow morning. Dongxu probably won't wake up until late at night."
Yi Zhonghai comforted Jia Zhangshi, "There are still children at home who need to be taken care of. You and Huairu are too tired today. Go home and rest well, and come back to take care of Dongxu tomorrow. I will watch over him tonight."
Both Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu wanted to stay, but after being persuaded by Yi Zhonghai, they eventually got into the factory's car that was taking Jia Dongxu to the hospital.
Sha Zhu could only pedal his bicycle home alone in the cold wind.
However, Sha Zhu was in a very carefree mood, and he had already begun to fantasize about the scene of Qin Huairu falling into his arms.
Sha Zhu's mind wasn't on riding his bike at all; it was filled with Qin Huairu's delicate face, her tear-streaked cheeks, and the full curves beneath her pants.
With a thud, Sha Zhu accidentally bumped into a tree.
