Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 604: Bone Fracture

Initially, she had wanted to make a call to Lu Jin too, but the pain proved too much to bear. She felt Ye Shuyun’s hand. Though she was unconscious, her body temperature seemed normal. Maybe she hit something on the way down. She was certain that her head didn’t hit the ground, but not so sure about whether she had hit anything when she rolled down.

She prayed that she didn’t hit her head.

Afraid to move, she maintained her posture stiffly. Her arm hurt so bad she dared not breathe.

She felt her consciousness slipping away, until the sirens of an ambulance pierced through the air, which made her heave a sigh of relief. What followed the sigh was another wave of unbearable pain.

Ow, it hurts so bad. She was on the verge of tears. She hadn’t been in so much agony in a long while.

Oh no, what do I do? It hurts, it hurts… Can someone do her a favor and knock her out cold? That would make the pain go away.

“Hurry! I see the victim,” came a voice, accompanied by messy footsteps.

“Watch it,” the footsteps kept coming.

Whose voice was that? Somehow it seemed familiar.

But she didn’t have time to think. She was hurting and sleepy, and sleep was coming to her… until a large hand enveloped her own. Large, dry hands with a familiar warmth. Unable to hold it in any longer, she let her tears ran free.

“Don’t cry. Everything’s alright,” said Lu Yi, rubbing at her face with a careful finger, tormented by the pallid complexion of her cheeks. “It’s just a fracture. Everything will be fine.”

“Where’s Mom? Is Mom alright?” Yan Huan’s hands tightened around Lu Yi’s fingers. Her mind was fuzzy, but that didn’t stop her from worrying about Ye Shuyun.

“She’s alright,” assured Lu Yi, gently holding her hand in his. “According to the doctor, it was just a slight concussion. She didn’t suffer any fractures, so she’s in a much better shape than you.”

“That’s a relief,”Yan Huan shut her eyes again. Before long, she opened them again, and took a careful sniff. She couldn’t move her right arm, but her left arm and hands were still movable.

“Lu Yi…” she called out.

“Yea?” asked Lu Yi, pressing his large hand against her face gently. “Don’t be afraid. Everything will be alright. Trust me.”

“Yea, I know,” nodded Yan Huan. She trusted him, but she needed some sleep desperately.

“I want to sleep a little. To take the pain away.”

“Okay. Sweet dreams,” he said as he carefully moved his hand away and clutched her left hand. Throughout this time, Yan Huan didn’t even let go of his hand once. Her palms were sweaty, a sign of her fear and distress.

Sleep soon came to her. However, she didn’t look very relaxed with her brows knitted tightly.

“How is she?” Lu Yi asked the doctor. According to the doctor, Yan Huan’s injuries were way worse than Ye Shuyun. Ye Shuyun was pretty much alright now, but Yan Huan remained in a terrible state.

His mind wasn’t working properly, and he had trouble figuring out how the two of them ended up like this. How did they fall down the stairs?

“She has a fracture at her right arm, but no other problems. It’s good that she didn’t move too much, for that would’ve aggravated the injury,” he said.

“Also, you can rest assured about your mother, Mr. Lu. She has passed out for the moment, but there aren’t any problems with her body aside from a few bruises.”

“Thank you,” said Lu Yi, lightening up a little. But, a fracture at the arm… He put his hands around Yan Huan’s fingers, feeling her fragile bones. How did these slender bones break?

He took out his phone and made a call to Lu Jin, since he couldn’t take care of two people all by himself. The domestic matters, including the caring of Little Bean, were entrusted to the nanny.

When they reached the hospital, Yan Huan was pushed into the operation room after a series of tests. Ye Shuyun, as the doctor diagnosed, had only lost her consciousness temporarily. Soon, she woke up by herself with nothing wrong with her body.

Yan Huan’s case was much more serious. She had to go through an ORIF surgery, wear a cast, and avoid physical activity for the next three months.

Putting the detrimental effects to her career aside, she would have a hard time sitting still with her nature.

Plus, there were a lot of things waiting for her now that White Fox has become the box office number-one hit. It was a considerable loss, but what mattered most was that she was fine.

“How’s the situation?” asked Lu Jin, who had rushed to the hospital right after the news reached him. How did the two of them end up in the hospital all of a sudden?

“We don’t know yet,” said Lu Yi, rising. The light above the operation room was still lit up. He had a dark, inconsolable look on his face, worrying that Yan Huan might not be able to take the pain.

“Dad, you should go check out how Mom’s doing. She hasn’t woken up yet,” said Lu Yi.

Lu Yi heaved a sigh, feeling the pulsating veins on the sides of his head.

“How’s Huanhuan?” As much as Lu Jin was worried about his wife, he was worried about Yan Huan too. After all, Yan Huan was the one going through operation, not Ye Shuyun.

“She’s fine. It’s just a fracture,” said Lu Yi, eyelashes drooping. His finger remained at the side of his body, still curled in the same way it was a moment ago.

Just a fracture, yes, just a fracture. It was pretty lucky to only suffer a fracture after falling from that kind of height.

Lu Yi gave him a pat on the shoulders. “I’ll be back after taking a look at your mother.”

“Okay,” Lu Yi breathed slowly, feeling his heart tightening and aching with each breath.

The light above the operation room remained lit. Lu Yi was getting more tormented by the minute, a sullen rage brewing so fiercely that he could hardly contain it.

Soon, Lu Jin returned.

“Your mother’s fine,” he said, putting a hand on Lu Yi’s shoulders. On one side was his mother, and on the other side was his wife. What his son had go through must have been unbearable. “She has a slight concussion and some bruises, but she’ll be fine.”

“Is Huanhuan still inside?” asked Lu Jin, glancing at the time. The operation had gone on for hours. What’s taking so long?

“No,” Lu Yi stared at large red word, “Emergency”, with silent focus. He was waiting for the lights to go off, waiting for her to come out, waiting for her to be okay.

At long last, the scarlet words went off. Lu Yi tightened his numbed fingers.

The doors to the operation room swung open.
