After confirming that the dagger had indeed been put away, everyone swarmed to Sheng Yi's side to check the injury on his hand.
Yuan Yue performed the surgery himself, but because the injury was so severe, he couldn't guarantee how well Sheng Yi's hand would eventually recover.
At the time, Sheng Yi didn't think there would be anything wrong with saving someone, but when he heard afterwards that his tendons in his hand were severed and that he would most likely never be able to go on the operating table again, he panicked.
What alarmed him wasn't his uncertain future or anything else, but rather Zhu Qinghao.
If his hand is ruined and he can never perform surgery again, what can he do in the future? What can he use to pursue Zhu Qinghao?
His goodness is so good, so perfect, he absolutely shouldn't be paired with a disabled person who can't move his left hand.
So the first thing he did after the incident was to explain the situation to Zhu Qinghao, but Yuan Yue told him that his hand was not entirely hopeless, and that saying anything now would only make people worry.
Yuan Yue was unaware that their relationship hadn't reached that stage yet. He simply assumed that they were mutually attracted and just waiting to get married, so he wasn't worried about it much. He even thought that Sheng Yi could take advantage of the holiday to go back and get married.
Sheng Yi smiled bitterly. What could he do? He had only himself to blame for blurting out "fiancée" in order to ward off unwanted suitors.
But he didn't regret it afterwards. He just wanted others to know that he had someone in his heart. On the one hand, it would deter those people from having designs on him, and on the other hand, it would remind himself that Zhu Qinghao was waiting for him.
But things are different now; his hand is injured.
For the past two weeks since his injury, he has often quietly examined his left hand, which he had little feeling in, in places where no one was around, and tried very hard to move it to prove that it was actually normal.
However, fate was not so kind to him. Even though Yuan Yue kept telling him that there was still hope for his hand, Sheng Yi himself was not very willing to believe it.
But he had to hold onto some hope, so he didn't tell anyone at first, not even Zhu Qinghao or Old Master Sheng.
He kept thinking that Yuan Yue's medical skills were not bad, and what if things got better in time? Rather than telling everyone too soon and making everyone worry, it would be better to wait until there was good news and then everyone could be happy together.
He didn't even plan to go back so early during the recovery period originally given by the hospital. Instead, he planned to stay in the hospital and let Yuan Yue observe him for a while longer.
Lin Bin, the person who hurt Sheng Yi, only came over with a somewhat insincere apology, accompanied by his regimental commander brother, his political department leader sister, and a high-ranking military leader.
Sheng Yi didn't really want to accept the apology, but since the military leaders were present and he didn't want to put the hospital leaders in a difficult position, he didn't say anything and "swallowed his anger" to accept their compensation and apology.
It's clear that the Lin siblings, along with the military and hospital leaders, are very satisfied with how this matter was handled. The only ones who are dissatisfied are Yuan Yue and his colleagues in his department.
"Kid, I'm sorry to have put you through this, but don't worry, I'll remember this for you. Just believe me, you'll get your revenge someday! If not, come find me!"
Seeing the resentment on Yuan Yue's and other colleagues' faces, Sheng Yi smiled instead.
"It's okay, teacher, don't worry about me. I'm not wronged. Everything I did was voluntary. I have to bear the consequences of my choices, and I have no regrets."
After he finished speaking, he also carefully comforted Xiao Rui, the young doctor standing next to him.
"Comrade Xiao, don't worry or overthink it. My injury wasn't caused by you. Don't feel too burdened. Just follow everyone and study hard and work hard."
Xiao Rui, a grown man, choked up at this moment. He had heard the director's words and knew that Sheng Yi's hand might be ruined.
