Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities - Chapter 784

Chapter 784: Mr. Mo

“Who told you that it has been cut off?” Chu Lui really felt that he was on a different page from this woman, and it almost seemed that he was talking to the cow. They had clearly done a bone correction surgery and not an amputation surgery.

They had been discussing this all along, but no one said anything about amputation. Why did she think that it was gone? It could not be that after all these days, this woman still thought that she was missing an arm.

“Is it not?” Xia Ruoxin turned her head away. If it was broken, then it was broken.

Chu Lui was caught between laughter and tears.

“Take a look yourself if it’s broken.”

Xia Ruoxin did not want to look.

“Look at it.” Chu Lui said and sat aside, waiting for her to figure out herself. Besides, in this situation, she might not believe anyone’s words until she saw it and confirmed it for herself.

Her arm was still there.

Xia Ruoxin closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Chu Lui knew her personality, and no matter how tough she was, she would not be able to accept her imperfect body. After all, some things could never grow back. He could not save Rainy’s kidney, but he did save Xia Ruoxin’s arm. At the very least, he was not useless, right?

He stood up, opened the door, and left; leaving the room filled with silence to Xia Ruoxin alone.

After he left, Xia Ruoxin then opened her eyes slowly.

She had always been avoiding looking at her left arm. All along, she thought that it was gone… it was cut away. However, Chu Lui did tell her that her left arm was still around and attached to her body.

From her shoulder, to her arm, and then to her wrist; she had an obvious pain that could not trick anyone. This pain was not fake. She turned around carefully, and her gaze landed on her shoulders before moving down. It turned out that there was a thick cast on her shoulder. No wonder it could not move, and because it could not move, she had thought that her arm was already gone.

The cast was made above her wrist and only exposed her fingers.

She moved her hand in disbelief. Was this a fake hand?

Once and twice, she tried carefully. The pinkie on her left hand moved a little, followed by her index finger. Since she could still move those fingers, her arm was there; her arm was really still there.

However, what was going on? Did they not amputate her arm?

When Chu Lui came back, he was holding a bunch of perfume lilies.

“Does it smell good?” He passed the flowers to Xia Ruoxin. “The florist said these smell especially good. If you place it in the ward, the whole room would have the smell in no time.”

“It smells really good.” Xia Ruoxin smelled lightly again.

It was really fragrant. No wonder it was called perfume lily.

Chu Lui placed the flowers in the vase. Once every few days, he would buy a bouquet back because he knew that she liked it. From time to time, Xia Ruoxin would stare at the vase and—sometimes—picked up the vase to arrange the flowers. However, she was afraid that the flowers would wilt. Flowers would bloom and wilt: it was an unavoidable process so he would always replace it with new ones after it bloomed for a few days. Hence, no matter when she saw the flowers, it would always be blooming.

Just like this bouquet of perfume lilies.

“How are you today?” Chu Lui sat down and asked her.

It was her seventh day after the operation.

“I’m pretty okay.” Xia Ruoxin raised her arm slowly. Even though she was on a cast and it could not move much, she could confirm that the arm was still around.

However, up till now, she still did not know how the amputation surgery ended up with her arm not being cut off.

“Chu Lui, what is going on? My arm…” She placed her right hand on her left arm. “I thought we were going to amputate it?”

Chu Lui pulled her hand down and placed the milk he had just warmed in her hands. “Don’t worry, your arm is fine. We had to amputate it initially, but I hired a few other doctors. They arranged another surgery for you.”

When he said this, he placed his hand on Xia Ruoxin’s forehead. “I finally returned your arm back to you. Even though you would be in a lot of pain, the doctor said that when you were better—as long as you do your rehabilitation continuously, the arm would be like before. You can do a lot of things, and it would not hurt when it rains.”

Xia Ruoxin placed the milk in front of her eyes. Tick. A tear dropped in, and it glistened slightly.

“Thank you, Chu Lui.”

The fingers Chu Lui placed on her forehead stiffened. ‘Thank you’ again…’Chu Lui’ again…

It seemed like the woman who had called him Ah Lui not long ago had disappeared. He knew that they could not go back to the past so he was still not doing good enough, right?

Xia Ruoxin placed the cup on her lips and drank a mouth. The thick milk taste excited her taste buds. Actually, she knew that Chu Lui was dejected. However, at that time, she only wanted to decrease his guilt. Now, they were sort of even. As for other things, she did not think about them as it was just too complicated between them.

However, she did not have any more complaints about this man. All the complaints, all the past… had disappeared and vanished the moment he came to find her.

There was a knock on the door from the outside which, just nice, broke the overly silent atmosphere between them.

Chu Lui stood up and opened the door. There stood a man wearing a light green windbreaker. He was around thirty, and his facial features were marked by his timely maturity and events of the past. His lips were bent upwards slightly, and it seemed like he was smiling slightly.

“You’re here.” Chu Lui moved aside and let him in.

“Mm, I had time today so I came over to take a look.” The man placed the flowers in his hands on the table before walking over as his gaze landed on Xia Ruoxin.

“Hello.” He waved towards Xia Ruoxin. “I’m Mo Ming.”

Xia Ruoxin extended her hand and shook it. However, she noticed a red string on Mo Ming’s wrist which had a little red bean on it. No, half a red bean.

It was an acacia red bean.

She did not expect that the man would use this as an accessory. However, this bean looked familiar; just that she could not remember where she had seen it.

Oh, what did he say his name was?
