Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 503: Chapter 477: Seeing Through Everything (Monthly Ticket 1100+ Update)

Li Zhen’s hospital room was in excellent condition, and the Li family made every effort to treat him, even bringing in experts from other places. However, even the experts were at a loss in the face of his illness. No matter how high-class the ward was, it could not bring back a healthy body.

Xiao Qian, led by Father Yu, arrived at the hospital, and Mother Yu came over too, standing at the entrance. As they looked at each other, they both saw the agitation in each other’s eyes.

“Didn’t they say the operation was successful? Why is there no sensation?” Mother Yu asked Father Yu. She had been notified last night that Li Zhen’s operation was successful, but today, news came that the situation was very grave, and there was no normal post-operative response.

This situation was heading towards paralysis.

“I’ll ask the doctor later, see what’s going on and whether it’s treatable or not. If not, we’ll find someone else!” Father Yu was also simmering with anger.

Outside the ward and in front of a window, Li Zhen’s father stood. Xiao Qian was surprised when she first saw him.

It didn’t seem to be too long since she last saw Father Li, which was when she had just met Yu Minglang and went to Li’s house with him to settle matters.

At that time, Father Li seemed quite healthy. But now, with white temples and a worn expression, he looked as if he had aged ten years. The reckless actions of his wife and the accident of his son had crushed him.

Seeing Father Yu, Father Li extended his hand, and they shook hands. Father Li spoke with shame,

“I failed to properly teach my son and control my wife, and I’ve caused such trouble for your family. I’m truly ashamed. If Li Zhen were not so seriously ill, I should personally apologize to you.”

“What are you talking about? It’s me who didn’t educate my younger sister well. It’s my fault!”

“Don’t say that, it’s all my fault!”

They both apologized to each other from the bottom of their hearts. Neither of them usually spoke in such a sincere manner. Aunt had drawn both her husband and her older brother into great trouble without even considering the consequences.

Father Li and Father Yu used to be friends, and their relationship was quite good. Even after Father Li moved to another area, they still kept in close touch. Father Yu felt that he didn’t deserve to see his friend anymore, as he shouldn’t have married his sister to him.

Father Li also felt guilty towards Father Yu, believing everything was caused by his wife. He had neglected his wife’s thought process due to his busy work, and now both fathers found themselves in a passive situation.

“Now is not the time for a struggle session; how’s the child doing?” Mother Yu asked.

Father Li sighed and shook his head.

Xiao Qian had been standing by them, quietly listening to their conversation and deciding her next steps. What on earth did Li Zhen need her for?

Just then, Li Zhen’s chief physician arrived. Father Li called him over, and the chief physician began to explain Li Zhen’s condition.

“As you can see in these images, the injured area is a relatively mild cauda equina injury in terms of spinal cord damage. The ability of the cauda equina to resist injury is stronger than that of the spinal cord. According to our assessment, the worst post-operative outcome for him should be Level E, or perhaps even better than that.”

“What the hell are you talking about? Speak in terms we can understand!” Father Yu said impatiently.

Mother Yu, being a doctor, understood and explained to everyone, “All spinal fractures can potentially lead to paralysis, but the degree of paralysis and postoperative recovery varies. Medically, paralysis is divided into levels A to E, with A being the most severe, meaning completely bedridden, unable to care for oneself, and unable to control one’s bowel and bladder. Level E is the mildest form, causing numbness in a specific area.”

“So what’s his current situation?” Father Yu asked further.

Xiao Qian silently looked at the images, seeming to have an idea.

“I can’t explain it clearly to you, but let me put it in simpler terms. According to Li Zhen’s imaging results, his condition should be considered less severe than Level E, and he would only need to rest and recover. However… his current condition has reached the most severe point, with no sensations and loss of control over his bowel and bladder.”

For a young man, this was the cruelest thing in the world. With zero dignity and being unable to even handle basic bodily functions, he had to rely on others for help. The blow to a young man could be immense, and if he had a fragile mental ability to cope, he might develop depression or even choose to end his life.

Mother Yu’s words plunged everyone into silence.

Xiao Qian took the images from Mother Yu, asked the doctor a few professional questions, and received answers one by one. Mother Yu, puzzled, asked Xiao Qian,

“Aren’t you studying Psychology? How do you understand this?”

Instead of replying directly to Mother Yu, Xiao Qian continued to question the doctor,

“So, based on your examination results, Li Zhen’s body should not be experiencing this kind of physiological condition, right?”

“Yes, we don’t understand why this is happening either. We’re holding an emergency meeting, but domestic cases in this area are nonexistent, and we can’t find any references. Perhaps you could transfer him abroad for more advanced examinations?”

My great country, with thousands of years of Chinese medical history, how can there be nothing that can treat this? Always turning to those foreign devils; when our ancestors were using needles to cure illnesses, what were those people doing!”

Mother Yu glared at Father Yu, “Get rid of your narrow-mindedness; treating the child is the priority right now. If you can’t help, don’t make trouble!”

Father Yu snorted resentfully, unwilling to accept that in his heart, the moon of their own country was rounder than that of foreign countries.

Xiao Qian had already figured it out.

“No need to go abroad.”

“Xiao Qian, what did you say?” Mother Yu asked in surprise.

“I have a preliminary idea in my mind now, but whether it is or not, I need to see Li Zhen first. I’ll go in to see him now, and when I come out, I’ll explain the detailed plan to you.”

Xiao Qian’s words left the elders staring at each other, puzzled by what she was planning to do.

Xiao Qian didn’t explain further and entered the ward led by the doctor. Li Zhen’s eyes were wide open, staring straight at the ceiling, his expression very calm, not at all like someone who had just suffered a major blow.

He seemed calm, as if he had seen through everything in the world. His gaze fixed on the ceiling seemed like he was searching for the entrance to another realm.

As soon as Xiao Qian saw his expression, her heart skipped a beat.

It seemed Li Zhen no longer wanted to live.

As a doctor who could read people’s hearts and had seen many psychological illnesses, Xiao Qian could quickly identify abnormal psychological reactions. Li Zhen was in his prime yet faced with such an ordeal. If he could be irritable, lose his temper, and display over-the-top behavior, it would be a normal reaction. But his serenity, like that of a monk who had seen through the mortal world, was a major issue.

“You’re here.” Li Zhen saw Xiao Qian coming in, withdrew his gaze and calmly greeted her.
