"Fourth brother, don't be angry. Look at me, I'm fine." After hearing the familiar concerned voice, Xia Ruoan looked over.
Ouyang Jin walked towards her quickly with a worried look on his face, his eyes fixed on her. Especially when he saw the shocking gauze on Xia Ruoan's head, his face turned pale instantly.
"You've got a huge hole in your head, and you still dare to say you're fine!"
"You've really made me worry so much. You're lucky to have escaped this time, but don't let this happen again next time!"
"From now on, no matter where you go, none of the bodyguards accompanying you will be allowed to leave. I will quickly arrange for someone to find you a reliable female bodyguard who will be responsible for protecting your safety."
Ouyang Jin frowned and spoke in a serious tone.
Obviously, he was frightened by the accident.
As he spoke, Ouyang Jin seemed to suddenly remember something and handed over the milk cake in his hand: "I know you like to eat this the most, so I bought it specially for you."
After saying that, he reached out and gently rubbed Xia Ruoan's hair. His movements were extremely gentle, for fear of accidentally touching the wound on her head.
Thinking of something, he looked at his second brother Zhong Zishu and said, "Second brother, can she eat now? After all, she just got injured..."
Ouyang Jin turned to look at Zhong Zishu, his eyes full of questions.
Zhong Zishu shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of the taboo of not eating after being injured.
After receiving a positive answer, Ouyang Jin breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to Xia Ruoan and said softly, "Since Big Brother didn't say you can't eat, then Ruoan, take some and eat it quickly. It will fill your stomach."
"I bought quite a bit for you and the kids."
"Oh..." Xia Ruoan nodded obediently and then began to explore based on his sense of smell.
The air was filled with a rich milky aroma. She couldn't help swallowing and thought: It must be delicious!
Ouyang Jin looked at Xia Ruoan in shock, staring at the heart-wrenching scene in front of him.
I saw her stretching out her hands and groping in the air, as if she was in darkness and couldn't find her direction.
At this moment, the milk cake he was holding tightly in his hand suddenly slipped and fell on the bed with a dull sound.
When Niannian saw this, he quickly reached out and picked up the milk cake, worried that it would hit his mother.
Ouyang Jin's face was filled with anger. He turned directly to Leng Zexi, who was holding Ruoan, and asked in a stern voice, "What on earth happened?"
His voice exploded in the air like thunder.
Then, he raised his voice again and shouted, "I'm asking you! What's going on with Ruoan's eyes?"
"Didn't you tell me that I just had to wait for her to wake up? But why has it become like this now?!"
Ouyang Jin became increasingly agitated, with veins popping out on his forehead.
Seeing this, Zhong Zishu quickly stepped forward, trying to pull Ouyang Jin, who was almost out of control, away, and comforted him, "Jin, can you calm down for a moment?"
"We're not sure of the exact situation yet. We'll know after Big Brother takes Ruoan for a detailed examination."
"Roan's blindness may only be temporary."
However, Ouyang Jin simply refused to listen to what he was saying. He shook off Zhong Zishu's hand and pressed on, "Is it possible? Does that mean I could be blind for the rest of my life?"
Faced with Ouyang Jin's aggressive questioning, Zhong Zishu shook his head helplessly and sighed softly, "Maybe... but this is just a possibility."
"Of course, there's the worst-case scenario of permanent blindness, but until then, all speculation is meaningless. Let's just wait patiently for the test results, okay?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Jin's face instantly turned as pale as paper. He grabbed Zhong Zishu by the collar and asked through gritted teeth, "So, it's really possible that I'll never see it again, right?"
Zhong Zishu looked at the almost crazy Ouyang Jin and could only nod silently.
"Can you please calm down and wait for the results?" Zhong Zishu said, grabbing his hand.
Ouyang went up and took Ouyang Jin's hand away, asking him to let go of Zhong Zishu first.
Ouyang Jin was truly furious at this moment. He suddenly turned and rushed towards Leng Zexi, pointing his finger at her and swearing, "Leng Zexi, is this how you take care of someone? You actually let her get into a car accident. Are you worthy of my trust in you?"
After hearing this, Gao Liang slowly turned his head and his gaze fell on Leng Zexi. A trace of barely perceptible guilt flashed across his eyes.
In fact, the real culprit who caused Ruoan to become what he is today was himself.
At this moment, Xia Ruoan also heard these remarks. Her face was full of disapproval and helplessness: "Fourth brother!"
Her injury this time had nothing to do with Zexi, so how could he say such irresponsible words?
Xia Ruoan held Leng Zexi's hand tightly, shook her head vigorously, and said softly: "Zexi, this is really not your fault."
At this moment, Mu Shen just walked in and happened to hear what Ouyang Jin said.
His face darkened and he shouted, "Xiao Si, if you can't speak, just shut up. No one thinks you're dumb."
Ouyang Jin was unconvinced and questioned seriously, "Am I wrong? Ruo An is his wife. Isn't it because he didn't take good care of her that she's in this state now?"
Ouyang Jin was obviously intimidated by Mu Shen's aura, but he still responded indignantly: "Brother, am I wrong? As a husband, it is his responsibility to protect Ruoan."
However, before he could finish his words, Mu Shen interrupted him rudely: "Are you asking Zexi to stay with Ruoan 24 hours a day?"
"I'm busy with all the tests and treatment for Ruoan, so I don't have time to waste on this nonsense. You're not in your right mind, okay? I can get you in touch with a psychiatrist. Go see him right away!"
After saying that, Mu Shen glared at Ouyang Jin fiercely.
Afterwards, Mu Shen ignored him and turned around to gently push the wheelchair that had been prepared nearby. He then instructed Leng Zexi, "Zexi, quickly carry Ruoan to the wheelchair. I'll take her over for a checkup."
"Okay." Leng Zexi replied softly, then gently lifted the quilt.
He carefully stretched out his arms, as if he was holding the most precious and fragile treasure in the world, slowly picked up Xia Ruoan, and gently placed her on the wheelchair that had been prepared beside him.
Throughout the whole process, his eyes were always on Xia Ruoan, full of concern and tenderness.
Leng Zexi did not get angry in the face of Ouyang Jin's blame.
Because he knew in his heart that what Ouyang Jin said made no sense.
Xia Ruoan's injury this time was indeed related to him. If he had been more resolute at the time and forced bodyguards to follow her into the school and protect her, perhaps he could have stopped her impulsiveness in time, and perhaps all this would not have happened.
However, it was too late to regret now. He only hoped that Xia Ruoan could recover as soon as possible.
Leng Zexi knew very well that stopping Xia Ruoan from saving people might be a bit cruel, but compared to letting her be in danger and get hurt, he would rather choose to be the cruel person.
Because if the situation really becomes irreparable and Xia Ruoan feels guilty for not being able to save that person, then all the responsibility and pain will be borne by him alone.
After all, in Leng Zexi's heart, Xia Ruoan's safety is above everything else, and he will never allow her to suffer any harm.
Xia Ruoan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly reached out and grabbed Leng Zexi's hand, saying softly, "Fourth brother, I was injured this time because I insisted on saving people. This has nothing to do with Zexi."
"If you want to blame someone, you can come to me. You can say whatever you want to say, even hit and scold me, but please don't blame Zexi. He worries about me just as much as you do."
After saying that, Xia Ruoan raised her head and stared at Leng Zexi with her eyes as clear as water. Even though she couldn't see, her eyes were full of trust and dependence.
"I'm deeply sorry, and I'm still terrified when I think back to that moment. When I was hit by the car and fell to the ground, and saw Ningning fall and cry, I was filled with guilt. I never considered how you would cope if something happened to me."
"It would be extremely sad and upsetting, wouldn't it?"
"However, I know that if I don't do that, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"So whether it's temporary or permanent blindness, I think it's worth it."
"I have no regrets trading my eyes for Senior Brother Gao's life. Even if I were given another chance to choose, my decision would remain the same."
"But I feel guilty and sorry towards Zexi, the children and you." Xia Ruoan looked at them with a firm gaze.
Ouyang Jin's eyes had already turned red, and tears flowed uncontrollably, sliding quietly down his cheeks.
He choked up and said, "Ruoan, I wish you could be more selfish and think more about yourself."
"Do you understand what blindness means?" Ouyang Jin asked worriedly.
"Fourth brother, there are many blind people in this world, and they also live wonderful lives."
"I've seen everything I should have seen, and I remember your appearance in my heart. Compared to those who are blind from birth, I'm lucky enough." Xia Ruoan comforted them in return.
Everyone present was moved by her words. They wanted to comfort her, but they didn't expect that she had already comforted herself.
"Don't cry, Fourth Uncle. Mom still has us. We will take good care of her." Sui Sui said, holding Ouyang Jin's hand.
"I can be Mom's eyes. If Mom can't see, I will tell her. Besides, my uncle is very powerful and will cure Mom." Sui Sui looked up at him and said.
Ouyang Jin squatted down sadly and hugged Sui Sui.
