Chapter 40 What's wrong with my legs?



"It doesn't hurt!" Lin Momo was a little confused by the question, then suddenly seemed to realize something and quickly asked, "What's wrong with my leg?"

As she spoke, she suddenly threw off the light blanket that had just been placed over her, stared at her left leg in confusion, and even tried to move it.

"Oh, it's nothing. The doctor said you have a minor fracture in your left leg, so you need to be careful. It seems you're almost fully recovered." Seeing that she was a little nervous, Shiguang smiled and reassured her.

But I was quite surprised that she recovered so quickly.

Although he had never suffered a fracture, he had seen his comrades suffer fractures while in the army, but he had never seen anyone recover within two months.

She thought to herself, "No wonder the doctors looked at each other in disbelief after examining her that morning, as if they'd seen a ghost."

Although everyone's physical condition is different, such a powerful recovery ability is truly extraordinary.

Surprised as I was, I didn't dwell on it or let my astonishment show; instead, I was overjoyed.

Otherwise, their connection would end at the first meeting.

"Hurry up and eat!" Shi Guang said, opening the disposable lunchbox. "You just woke up, and your digestive system is still weak because you haven't eaten for a long time. The nurse said it's best to drink some porridge first to nourish your stomach and intestines before gradually resuming your regular diet."

Lin Momo understood this principle, and although she was so hungry she could eat a whole cow, she could only endure it for now.

Holding the warm millet porridge, she couldn't wait to gulp it down.

That's right, she was not only hungry, but also incredibly thirsty.

"Drink slowly, be careful not to choke!" Shi Guang was stunned for a moment by her eating habits, and then blurted out.

She had never seen a woman eat so...unrestrainedly, without any regard for her image, as if the porridge were some kind of heavenly delicacy. Even he, who had just finished eating, couldn't help but want to try a bite.

Time smiled gently without us even noticing.

I have to say, she looks really good eating. Anyone eating at the same table with her would definitely have a good appetite. Hmm, I might try it next time.

*

A small garden downstairs in the inpatient building on a summer afternoon.

Feeling like she was going to rot away, Lin Momo didn't want to stay in the air-conditioned hospital room, so Shi Guang found a wheelchair and pushed her downstairs to bask in the sun.

Following the garden path, time slowly propelled the wheelchair along.

Lin Momo, in her wheelchair, closed her eyes, casually resting her elbows on the armrests on either side, a slight upturn on her lips, looking completely at ease.

Breathing in the not-so-fresh air of this time and space again, basking in the warm sun, and feeling the gentle breeze, Lin Momo felt really good.

Shi Guang, who was constantly watching her reaction, caught a glimpse of this scene and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his lips.

At this moment, the two did not exchange any words, each enjoying their own happiness, which was quite harmonious.

Before long, as if afraid she would be exposed to the sun, Time settled her under the shade of a flowering tree, and she sat on a nearby bench, basking in the early summer sun.

Suddenly, Shi Guang stared at Lin Momo in the wheelchair and calmly asked, "Are you really planning to seek compensation from the arrested criminal?"

At 2 p.m., the police arrived at the hospital.

Firstly, it was to understand the actual situation on the day of the incident from Lin Momo, the person involved, and to inform her that a suspect named Li Dazhuang had been arrested. After preliminary investigation, two other cases of women trafficking were also uncovered. This time, they had caught a big fish.

The police station is taking this case very seriously and has set up a special task force. The police have already set off to rescue the abducted women based on the clues provided by Li Dazhuang.

Secondly, her personal belongings were returned.

A suitcase and a canvas bag slung over his shoulder.

Recalling that day, Lin Momo felt lingering fear, and her face, which had just regained a little color, instantly turned pale.

That day, she was strolling in the riverside park with her suitcase when a middle-aged man approached her and tried to chat her up. When she ignored him, he tried to snatch her suitcase.

"Thief, give me back my box!" In her panic, Lin Momo had no choice but to run after him.

However, that person always lingered around her at a distance.

Just as Lin Momo was about to catch up, he quickened his pace; and when Lin Momo fell behind, he deliberately slowed down.

Tourists strolling leisurely along the way only glanced at her curiously before going about their own business, showing no concern for Lin Momo's cries and no one willing to step forward to help.

The park was right next to the road, and soon the two of them left the park and went to the sidewalk.

At that moment, Lin Momo suddenly had a bad feeling and immediately decided to abandon her suitcase and run into the park.

However, it was too late; this was clearly a planned and premeditated act.

Moreover, these human traffickers acted brazenly, targeting women traveling alone in broad daylight, without any fear of being discovered by passersby.

Seeing that his prey was about to escape, the man immediately dropped his suitcase and turned around to catch Lin Momo.

As the two were struggling, a fierce-looking man jumped out of a van with its door half open and walked straight toward them.

Lin Momo's alarm bells rang loudly. She then caught sight of a man in his early twenties passing by and immediately shouted, "Help!"

Although she only managed to shout once before her mouth was covered, thankfully, the man either heard her cry for help or sensed something was wrong, and immediately rushed over, shouting at the man who was holding Lin Momo captive, "Let her go!"

"Kid, mind your own business." The ugly man in the van pulled a kitchen knife from his waist and brandished it at the young man, his meaning clear.

Despite being at a disadvantage against a weapon and a villain, the young man did not back down and bravely confronted the evil forces.

But the glimmer of hope that had just risen in Lin Momo's heart was instantly dimmed.

The situation was already so unfavorable, and who knew how many more people might get out of that van, while she had no reinforcements at the moment. The few passersby who caught a glimpse of the gleaming weapon kept their distance.

Just as the human trafficker, brandishing a weapon, was closing in on the young man, Lin Momo, taking advantage of the trafficker's distraction, used all her strength to drag him towards an oncoming car...

At that moment, Lin Momo thought that rather than watching such a good young man lose his life for her in vain, she would rather end her own life and take someone down with her before she left.

If you fall into the hands of human traffickers, you can forget about living like a human being for the rest of your life; it's better to die than to live a normal life.

The human trafficker, wielding a weapon, witnessed the horrific scene of the two being instantly thrown into the air. Terrified, he fled in panic and quickly got into his car.

Then, the van, still running, sped away from the roadside.
