After Divorcing, She Shocked the World - Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Rising from the Ashes

In the guest room of the villa, the curtains were drawn tightly. The lights were not switched on in the room, and the sound of the respirator and air conditioner mingled together. The atmosphere was gloomy and oppressive.

Bi Fang was leaning against the hospital bed, covered in bandages. The television was broadcasting a variety show on the entertainment channel. There was no trace of a smile on his face. His eyes were empty as he stared ahead. A dejected and depressing aura surrounded him.

When Wu Mei entered the room, she saw that the dishes that the butler had brought over had not been touched and were just quietly sitting beside him. Furious, she rushed over and swiftly grabbed Bi Fang’s chin, forcing him to drink the warm porridge. Bi Fang coughed twice and immediately swallowed the food, like a robot.

“Since your life has been saved, you should rest well. You’ll need your strength for rehabilitation and treatment in the future. Who are you putting on this dead look for?”

Wu Mei changed his dressing. Looking at Bi Fang’s fractured finger, she frowned and checked the recovery of each joint. She looked up at him and said, “Try bending your fingers to see if your body is reacting…”

Bi Fang’s face was pale. He pursed his thin lips and was silent for a long time before saying in a hoarse voice, “Just give up. Don’t waste time on me.”

“I’m a doctor. I know the condition of my body better than anyone else. My hands are already crippled…”

Wu Mei helped Bi Fang slow down the IV drip. She stood by his bed and said coldly, “There are many medical miracles in the world. Even someone in a vegetative state who’s on the verge of being brain dead, can wake up after sleeping for more than ten years. So what if your bones are broken?”

“As long as you can pull yourself together, there will always be a solution!”

Wu Mei’s firm tone stunned Bi Fang. In his groggy state, he seemed to see M. Immediately, he curled his lips up in self-mockery and muttered to himself, “M once said that there is a medicine that can restore the broken bones. However, it requires an extremely rare Tianshan Snow Lotus as the catalyst.”

“This herb is impossible to find in the medical world now, much less anywhere else. You shouldn’t bear any hope…”

“To be lucky enough to survive, I’m already very grateful to you.”

The fire in Bi Fang’s eyes extinguished again. He lay on the hospital bed with his eyes half closed and stared at the ceiling silently.

Looking at his sickly appearance, Wu Mei recalled how Bi Fang had become her disciple back then. She thought to herself, I will definitely cure you. No matter who hurt you, I will take revenge for you!

Knock! Knock!

Li Nanchen knocked lightly on the door. When he saw Bi Fang on the bed, he asked softly, “How do you feel?”

“He’s not in a good condition right now and doesn’t have any will to live!” Wu Mei muttered to herself in disappointment. Lin Liguo squeezed in from outside and happened to hear their conversation. When he heard Wu Mei deliberately provoking Bi Fang by saying those words, he misunderstood that Bi Fang’s injuries were very serious and there was a high chance that he would not be able to recover completely. He was instantly delighted and smug.

Lin Liguo pretended to be concerned and said, “Mr Bi Fang is unwell. He should rest well.”

“But Old Master Li has just recovered a little. We need to follow up on the follow-up treatment. Why don’t I take over Old Master Li’s daily checkup during this period of time? We can talk about it after Mr Bi Fang has recovered?”

Li Nanchen and Wu Mei could tell what Lin Liguo was trying to say. They frowned as they sized him up. Their eyes were filled with doubts.

Wu Mei recalled what the butler had said. He had said that Lin Liguo was the one who had brought the seriously injured Bi Fang back. Recalling his various sneaky and strange actions, she felt that he must have had something to do with this matter. She pretended to say nonchalantly, “You’re in a hurry to snatch his job. Seems like you’re hoping that Bi Fang won’t recover?”

“How is that possible? I really feel sorry for Mr Bi Fang,” Lin Liguo said with a fake smile. However, Wu Mei probed further, “Where did you meet Bi Fang that night?”

“Why did you appear at the high-rise condominium nearby in the wee hours of the morning?”

Lin Liguo’s eyes revealed some panic, but he quickly concealed it and said, “Since Old Master Li has Bi Fang to treat him, I had nothing to do, so I worked as a public service doctor on the Internet. A patient asked me to meet him nearby, so I went to take a look…”

Wu Mei became suspicious. Afraid that Lin Liguo would be guarded against her, she pretended to believe him and temporarily let it slide. She exchanged glances with Li Nanchen and nodded as she said, “I’ll leave the work of the Li Family’s doctor to you during this period of time.”

Looking at Bi Fang’s dejected gaze, she comforted him softly, “When you’re better, everything will still be yours.”
