Chapter 52 He Woke Up

"They've arrived. They probably went to the doctor to check on Uncle Lu's condition first. Mom, what's going on with these two?" He Caiwei deliberately squatted down to take a look, wondering if she recognized them.

When she saw the two men's faces, she grabbed her mother's hand in a panic: "Mom, I know these people. This man is the librarian of our school, and the one on the right is the owner of a shop near our school gate that sells wontons."

If these two people were to have an argument at the school, then all the girls in that school would be in danger. Apart from the principal, the gatekeeper, and the two male teachers, everyone else in the school is a woman.

"Young lady, are you telling the truth?" The bureau chief heard this as soon as he pushed open the door and entered, and his expression instantly turned serious.

“Yes, I’m from Pengcheng Girls’ High School. I often see this person when I go to the library. The other one is the owner of the first shop on the left at the school gate, who sells snacks and wontons.” He Caiwei was very certain of the identities of these two people. Although she didn’t see them every day, she saw them several times a week during the semester she attended the girls’ high school.

"Thank you for the clue, young lady. I'll have someone investigate. Old Lu will need your help looking after him. I need to go back to Kyoto later to contact them and see what the procedure is. I've already inquired about his health with the doctor. Other things can be treated first, but his knee needs to be treated in Kyoto." The director had just heard from the doctor that if he didn't wake up within two days, that would be his fate.

The main reason was that he had been in the seawater for too long and had suffered severe injuries before falling into the sea. He survived because of his strong willpower.

"I understand. Since it was us, mother and daughter, who saved him, we'll take care of him for now." He Yuping felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that he would never wake up again.

She loved this person's hands, but now the bones in his hands were broken, and his once slender and beautiful hands were now covered in wounds. Yet, looking at these wounded hands, she couldn't let go.

Looking at the wounds all over his body, one can imagine the inhuman torture he suffered before falling into the sea.

"Mom, you like Uncle Lu? Grandpa won't agree, will he? What if he stays like this forever? And even if he wakes up, with his kneecap broken, he'll probably be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Mom, you should find someone else." He Caiwei didn't dislike Lu Zhiheng; on the contrary, she quite liked his face.

But he can't be a burden to his mother for the rest of his life in this state. Even if his mother likes him, the old man would never agree.

"What are you thinking, girl? Is this the time to be thinking about such things? And how do you know this man doesn't have a wife and children? He looks at least thirty, right? Look around these days, who's thirty and still unmarried? Honestly, don't think about such nonsense, you little girl." He Yuping was quite rational. Although she thought highly of this man, who knew if he had a wife and children?

They had met a few times, but they didn't know anything about each other. He Yuping wasn't the type to be blinded by love; she had elderly parents and young children to support, and she couldn't afford any more trouble.

"I know, I know, Mother, should I get some water from my space for him to soak his hands? It must hurt a lot like this. Why hasn't the doctor set his bones yet? Those people are worse than animals. Look at all these bones, broken one by one. I don't know if the water pipes in my space are any good." He Caiwei looked at those hands that used to be slender and beautiful, and now looked so painful.

"We can't do too much. Try a little bit first. If we do too much and the recovery is too good, people might get suspicious. No matter what, we can't put your safety at risk." He Yuping would never joke about her daughter's safety.

However, if it's just a little bit and the effect isn't too obvious, she feels it's still acceptable. It would be a real pity if someone who has contributed so much to the people were to lose their hands and feet like this.

The mother and daughter thought they were the only two people in the room, so although they spoke softly, Lu Zhiheng, who was lying on the hospital bed, could hear them clearly.

Although he is currently unconscious, he is still conscious and has heard the conversation between the mother and daughter. He tries to open his eyes, but he cannot.

He thought he was going to die after those thirty days of inhuman torture. He felt relieved when he was thrown into the sea, but he never expected that he would still be alive. Although he did not wake up, he could sense the sounds outside.

Just like when someone tried to kill him, he felt the eerie feeling of being stared at by a venomous snake. He didn't expect Comrade He to react so quickly and be so skilled. The two of them were subdued in no time.

Even he himself didn't know how many times this mother and daughter had saved him. This was the first time he felt that the word "fate" could be used to describe them. When he heard that Comrade He liked him, a hint of secret joy flashed through his heart, but he forcibly suppressed it. He was already a cripple, and even if he woke up, he would be unable to move around easily. He couldn't ruin her life.

But now that he heard that the little girl had medicine that could cure him, he was afraid that the doctor might become suspicious because the medicine was too effective.

He himself didn't know why he believed what the mother and daughter said; he just inexplicably believed that the little girl must have medicine that could cure him.

He became unhappy as soon as his comrade said he would send him back to Kyoto. He didn't want to go back, didn't want to cause trouble for his older brother, and even less did he want to see the old man's annoying face.

He woke up because of these things, but the pain all over his body almost made him faint again.

He Yuping was the first to notice that he was awake, and quickly asked her daughter to find a doctor.

"Comrade Lu, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine. Please find Director Zhang for me, thank you!" Lu Zhiheng used almost all his strength to say this, nearly fainting again. Only his determination not to return to Kyoto sustained him until Director Zhang arrived.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Lie down and rest for a while. Director Zhang is outside and should be here soon. Just wait for him." He Yuping noticed that he was trembling and about to faint, so she quickly gave him some water, which her daughter had added a little bit of her spatial water to.

Although the water was diluted, it could still help relieve his pain. Lu Zhiheng also felt that the water was different. After drinking a few sips, the pain in his body was relieved quite a bit.

Drinking the water solidified his resolve not to return to Kyoto, but he couldn't very well cling to the woman, so he had to think of another way.

Just as Lu Zhiheng was hesitating about what to say, the door was pushed open forcefully, and Director Zhang rushed in, covered in sweat.

"Old Lu, you're awake! Thank goodness you're still alive. I just called your older brother, and he's coming to pick you up. Just wait here patiently. The doctor said they can temporarily stabilize your hand bones, but they can't do anything about your kneecap; it's shattered..." Director Zhang's voice trailed off.
