Chapter 455 - He Is Here
Chapter 455: He Is Here
“You have been acting so anxious. How could I not find out about it?”
“How is the boy?” The old man was considerably calm as he thought that they were being blessed. Not long after he was informed that Ye Xinyu was lost, someone else had notified him otherwise, telling him that Ye Xinyu was found and safe. At least he did not lose a limb or punctured an organ.
Undeniably, he was only briefly startled. He was not worried and terrified like Ye Chuji. Naturally, he would not be as furious as Ye Chuji. However, Ye Xinyu was certainly getting punished once he came home.
“He’s alright,” Ye Chuji heaved a sigh of relief, “When he was saved by Lu Jin, his femur was fractured. I reckon that he has been treated. They might send him to another hospital for surgery.”
“Surgery?” Ye Jianguo raised one of his eyebrows as he slammed his palm on the table, “He deserves no surgery. Cut off both of his legs and he’ll never run away again.”
“That’s right,” Ye Chuji said as he gritted his teeth. This brat is getting more and more audacious. He almost lost his life this time. If anything happens to him, Ye Family’s legacy will end here!
He has to be punished.
His legs shall be broken so he will not roam around heedlessly anymore.
Fortunately, Ye Xinyu currently had no idea about his grandfather and his father’s keenness to amputate his two legs. They would rather keep him at home for the rest of his life as he could possibly put his family and himself in jeopardy every time he created trouble outside the house.
In fact, it was only normal for the father and son from the Ye family to have this cruel thought. Ye Xinyu had created too many issues for them. When he was young, Lu Yi was always there to save him from trouble. This time was no exception even though Ye Xinyu had grown to be a man, as he was apparently a disappointing one.
There were limited seats on the helicopter. Hence, it was only used to transport some severely injured patients. Despite his fractured bone, Ye Xinyu had been roughly treated and his condition was not critical. Latest by tomorrow night he would be brought away for the surgery to treat his injury. After the surgery, he would be housebound for approximately six months and would have to move around in a wheelchair.
“I wish I can beat you to death,” Lu Jin reached out to smack Ye Xinyu’s head. You almost lost your life. If your sister-in-law didn’t find you, you would have either starved to death or been buried alive.
Ye Xinyu appeared rather upset. It was never his own intention to encounter the catastrophe. He did not expect to be trapped by the earthquake. He was fortunate to have escaped with merely a fractured bone. His friends were not as lucky. He had not seen any of them since the occurrence of the earthquake. He reckoned that they were now all in great danger.
“This is so irritating,” Lu Jin walked to the side and took a seat on a random spot. The extremely weary Lu Jin needed to rest. He had to take a nap.
Lu Yi grabbed Yan Huan’s shoulder as he stared coldly at Ye Xinyu, making Ye Xinyu feel remorseful as though he had committed an unforgivable sin. He had certainly made a mistake, not to mention a big one. It was indeed reprehensible as he almost lost his life.
Lu Yi exited the room and came back with some medication in his hands.
“Brother, let me do it. It’s not right to trouble you.”
Dragging his injured foot, Ye Xinyu immediately staggered forward to receive the medications. He was now a sinner and he had no rights to trouble Lu Yi to apply the ointment for him. He could definitely do it by himself because his cuts and wounds were not the big ones and certainly not life-threatening. Lu Yi sending him the medications was already an honour too great for him to accept.
Apparently, his brother was only mean on the outside. Deep inside, Lu Yi still cared about him abundantly.
At this moment, Lu Yi threw a nonchalant glimpse at Ye Xinyu as though he was a moron.
Then, Lu Yi reached out to hold Yan Huan’s hand and led her to a corner. Carefully, he pulled Yan Huan’s hands toward himself and applied ointment on the wounds. However, it was not an easy task as her hands were covered with wounds, including the new ones, old ones, lacerations, abrasions and the old ones that had yet to heal.
“Does it hurt?”
Lu Yi asked Yan Huan.
Yan Huan shook her head, “No, it doesn’t.” She was not lying. She had either forgotten how pain felt like or got used to enduring it.
Lu Yi grabbed her finger. He lowered his head, gently applied the medication on her finger and bandaged it.
“You are not longer needed. What you ought to do now is to stay here obediently,” Lu Yi fixed her clothes, “Don’t follow.”
Yan Huan agreed with Lu Yi. They were not capable for the rest of the operation anymore. Only the big machineries and the professionals could help save the remaining casualties. She was only able to take care of the patients and do some miscellaneous tasks.
Lu Yi removed his clothes and blanketed Yan Huan, “Get some rest.”
“Sure,” Yan Huan huddled up. She had been resisting the urge to sleep since the beginning. She feared even shutting her eyes, afraid that she would fall asleep and delay their process of saving the people. Every single second was crucial in this situation. They could not afford to gamble it by taking a nap.
Could she really take a good rest now?
Yes, I’ll take a short nap. Just a short one, I swear. Lu Yi tugged her in, thinking that this was the worst place for a good nap. However, all their comrades were taking shelter here with no exception. He surely intended to send Yan Huan away from this place. But he knew clearly that Yan Huan would refuse unless she was sure that she was no longer helpful.
He stood up and walked toward Lu Jin. He squatted down and placed the medication beside Lu Jin. Lu Jin did not wake up as Lu Yi removed Lu Jin’s shoes.
The moment he took off the shoes, Lu Yi felt an urge to cry. He turned around, trying his best to contain his tears.
Lu Jin continued to sleep soundly, probably from the extreme fatigue. Even an earthquake would not wake him up now.
His feet were mangled. There were cuts, blisters that had turned white, and gangrenous wounds. Yet, he never whined.
In fact, Lu Yi had noticed that Lu Jin was wearing someone else’s shoes in the news. Lu Jin never wore shoes that did not belong to him. That scene implied that Lu Jin escaped barefooted. Moreover, his footsteps seemed awkward. Lu Yi reckoned that he had injured his feet and Lu Yi was absolutely right.
Lu Yi carefully dressed the wounds on Lu Jin’s feet as he stared at his father who was close to his fifties. Despite his old age, Lu Yi always remembered him as a young father who was stern yet caring to his one and only son.
He was the kind of father who would regret instantly after punishing Lu Yi. At night, he would visit his son in secret. He was the kind of father that Lu Yi always looked up to, an unyielding role model.
