Chapter 765: Could Not Shake Her Off Sun Yuhan pulled at her hair as she allowed her distorted expression to return to normal. Every angry expression that existed under the sky, she had shown them all.
“I’ll return to my room.”
She pulled the door open and wheeled herself into the room.
Slam! After the slam of the door, everything behind the door seemed to fall silent.
Sun Yuhan closed her eyes, gnashing her teeth ferociously. Clack, clack... It sounded like she was crunching a human bone, together with its blood and flesh, her mouth reeking strongly of blood.
Suddenly, she buried her head in her hands and cried, forcefully tearing apart the blanket that was covering her.
When Lu Yi returned that night, Sun Yuhan was waiting for him at the door again.
“What are you doing here? The weather has turned cold.” He pushed the wheelchair and walked forward.
“It’s fine, I wanted to wait for you,” she said gently. However, her fingers were clenched tightly, her knuckles white from the force.
Suddenly, she turned around and stared into Lu Yi’s eyes, hoping to find some trace of warmth in them. Having grown up in other people’s homes, she had suffered all types of bitter hardships and experienced the fickleness of human nature countless times.
She did not actually have the talent for it, but she believed that she could read into the meaning behind people’s eyes.
Thus, she wanted to search for something in his eyes.
Love...
None.
Feelings...
None as well.
Guilt...
Present.
However, this was not what she wished for. She wanted to be Cinderella, not Dorothy.
Cinderella had a prince, while Dorothy only had dreams. If she woke up from her dream, she would have absolutely nothing.
“I will bring you to the hospital to check your legs tomorrow.” Lu Yi pushed the wheelchair and as he was walking, he elaborated, “The doctor will see if your legs are recovering well.”
“Alright.” Sun Yuhan continued smiling. However, no one knew that she was almost tearing off the edge of the blanket she was holding onto. One by one, she forcefully pulled out threads of wool from it and tore them apart with all her strength.
Lu Yi brought Sun Yuhan into her room but when he was leaving, he felt someone tugging on his sleeve.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Yi turned his head around and asked.
“Can I use your laptop for a short while? I want to surf the internet, even though I am not good at it,” Sun Yuhan asked shyly. It was true that she did not know how to do it. Although it was the age of information now, the flow of information to her was occluded. She was busy working from day to night to survive, therefore she simply had no time to go on the internet. It was something that only people with leisure could play with. However, she was not completely unfamiliar with it, at least she knew how to type on the keyboard.
“Sure.” Lu Yi ambled into his room, took out his laptop, and placed it in front of Sun Yuhan.
“Thanks,” Sun Yuhan hurriedly thanked him and said, “Don’t worry, I will not break it.”
“Sure. Feel free to use it.” Lu Yi merely stood on the side without leaving.
Sun Yuhan noticed that he was still there, so she removed her hands from the keyboard, casually wiping them on her clothes. How can I pry into it if he is here?
“Uhm, why aren’t you leaving?” she asked softly. “I promise that I will be very careful. I really won’t break your laptop.”
“It’s not that.” Lu Yi did not mean to stare at the laptop. “I need to use it for work soon.” He was merely waiting for Sun Yuhan to finish using it so that he could take it back.
“Never mind then.” Sun Yuhan no longer wanted to use the laptop and returned it to him.
“I’ll buy you a tablet tomorrow.”
Lu Yi took the laptop. I should buy one for her tomorrow so that she won’t be bored.
“Great.” Sun Yuhan simply smiled and watched as Lu Yi walked out of her room. However, once Lu Yi had left, the smile on her face slowly trickled away, bit by bit.
Then, she took out her handphone. It was a very old model as she did not have the notion to change it to a better one that could surf the internet. After all, she did not have many friends and she had no interest in the internet. Thus, having a smartphone was useless for her. It would be sufficient if she could make calls and receive messages with it. Furthermore, she was also not interested in the other features that a smartphone could offer. However, she regretted it now as she had no clue about where to search for the things she wanted to know.
The next morning, Lu Yi brought Sun Yuhan to the hospital. It was her first time sitting in such a luxurious car. It must be extremely expensive. Although she did not know its model, the condition inside was simply top-notch. Considering Lu Yi’s background, it was unlikely that he would drive a low-cost car.
When they arrived at the hospital, the person Lu Yi looked for was He Yibin.
“Is this the one?” He Yibin pointed at Sun Yuhan and asked.
“Yes.” Lu Yi nodded as he continued, “Please give her a checkup and have a look at her leg. She had a major operation on it.”
He Yibin did not discuss any personal matters. He still remembered his duty as a mere doctor now, nothing more.
Then, he took Sun Yuhan away to undergo a series of examinations.
The examination results came out very quickly. He Yibin held up the X-ray films and spoke to Lu Yi after scrutinizing it for a long time.
“She had recovered fairly well and the bones have grown back nicely. It is actually not that severe,” he mumbled to himself. Then, he glances at Sun Yuhan. She acted like her leg was still broken but according to the X-ray, her leg was completely fine now. At the very least, she would have no problem walking by herself with the aid of crutches.
Should I just say that the b*tch is acting?
Of course, he could only mutter it to himself in his heart. He would not dare to say it in front of Lu Yi.
After all, he was not someone important to Lu Yi. At the end of the day, Lu Yi would need to deal with his relationship problems himself. If he ultimately chose this woman and gave up on Yan Huan, then he would make sure to prepare his saliva and spit on his face mercilessly.
His eyes must have gone blind for him to make such a choice.
However, it seemed that Lu Yi’s eyes were still fine, he had not gone completely blind yet.
On the way home, Lu Yi still remembered about buying Sun Yuhan a tablet. Hence, he left Sun Yuhan in the car as he went out to buy one and gave it to her.
“Thanks.” Sun Yuhan took the tablet with trembling hands as she had never owned such a high-end electronic product before. She used to think that these items were useless to her. However, she had an epiphany the moment she touched it. It would be meaningless living in this world if she did not know how to use any of these products. It seemed like she was the one who had been living meaninglessly.
Lu Yi looked down at her leg, buckled his seatbelt, and drove away without saying a word. Hmm, fine. Let’s talk to her when she gets better.
Sun Yuhan naturally knew what Lu Yi was looking at, as she placed her hands on her injured leg. It seems that he is also waiting for my leg to recover. We are both similar, I am also waiting for it to fully recover. However, what if my leg doesn’t recover? Does it mean that he would not be able to say something to me?
Is he trying to cut me off?
