Gong Yan originally thought that, given Lu Bozhou's personality, as long as Jiang Mian wasn't blinded by love and as long as Jiang Mian made up her mind...

It's difficult for them.

Even the reason they were able to get together in the first place was because Jiang Mian loved him to death and pursued him relentlessly.

Lu Bozhou, on the other hand, was used to being pursued by her. He didn't need to do anything; she would come to his side.

Not only in the past life, but also in this life, it's still the same. It's still Jiang Mian who takes the initiative to approach him, even if it's for the sake of getting closer to her son...

Jiang Yu was initially worried and said to Gong Yan with concern, "I'm so afraid that my sister will soften her heart and go with him again."

"Once bitten, twice shy. Do you think she'll be stupid for two lifetimes?" Gong Yan reassured Jiang Yu, and Jiang Mian wasn't going to soften her heart this time.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Mian wasn't stupid for two lifetimes, but the man had become smarter.

More than a week after being discharged from the hospital and returning home, Jiang Mian's parents took good care of her, so her physical condition recovered quite well.

Although she still needs to complete her rehabilitation, it's easy to see that her legs are much more agile than before.

That day, she went to the hospital for rehabilitation on time. Originally, her mother wanted to accompany her, but she couldn't bear to leave the pot of old-fashioned soup at home and wanted Jiang Shan to take her there.

However, Jiang Mian is not as comfortable with her father as she is with her mother, which is probably a feeling many adult daughters have with their fathers.

"Okay, I'm a grown man, I can go by myself. I'll be back after I finish my rehabilitation."

Upon hearing this, Song Wan became anxious, "How can that be!"

Jiang Mian smiled and said, "Why not? Anyway, the rehabilitation is being led by a doctor, so there's no need for any help."

Jiang Mian's words were true; her mother accompanied her because she was worried about her, but in reality, she was just accompanying her.

Song Wan seemed to want to say something more, but Jiang Shan pressed her hand down, saying, "Mianmian is right, let her go by herself."

Song Wan could only frown and shut her mouth, looking at Jiang Mian with concern, "Call us if anything happens."

The driver took her all the way to the hospital, a high-end private hospital with a very beautiful environment.

Her rehabilitation therapy was arranged here; without a doubt, it was Lu Bozhou who arranged it.

Jiang Mian didn't try to refuse out of politeness. Even if she knew, the hospital would definitely report her rehabilitation progress to Lu Bozhou.

Jiang Mian felt that there was nothing wrong with letting him know; there was no need to keep the person who was worried in suspense.

Jiang Mian had just finished her physical therapy session that day and was covered in sweat. She was sitting on the treatment bed, drinking water from a mineral water bottle.

Then I heard the sound of the door to the physiotherapy room opening.

Turning my head, I saw a doctor walk in.

Jiang Mian only glanced at it, assuming it was for someone else, and didn't pay much attention. But then it walked towards her.

Jiang Mian was a little confused. She looked at the doctor standing in front of her and saw the department and name on his name tag.

The orthopedic surgeon's surname was Xia. The physical therapist obviously recognized him and asked, "Dr. Xia, is there anything I can help you with?"

Dr. Xia looked at Jiang Mian and said, "I'm looking for Mrs. Lu."

Jiang Mian was taken aback. "I... am not Mrs. Lu."

Hearing Jiang Mian's words, the doctor was stunned, "But you..."

The doctor glanced down at the form in his hand, seemingly unsure.

Jiang Mian had a gut feeling that something was wrong, so she asked, "Is there something you need to talk to me about?"

The doctor nodded. "Mr. Lu is going to have surgery. Although it's not very complicated or dangerous, it's best if a family member is present. To avoid disturbing you, we chose the time when you come to the hospital for physiotherapy."

The doctor handed the form to Jiang Mian, saying, "This is an informed consent form. Mr. Lu has already signed it, but a relative usually needs to be present for general anesthesia."

Jiang Mian's expression changed slightly. She pursed her lips, but couldn't help but let out a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"Surgery? What kind of surgery?" Jiang Mian quickly took the informed consent form.

"It's a surgery to remove the internal fixation in orthopedics. Mr. Lu had a traffic accident a few years ago, and he fractured his bone. At that time, some internal fixation was inserted to speed up his recovery and allow his fracture to heal better."

"Although the materials used are very good, it is still a foreign object. It should be removed within a year and a half or two years. However, Mr. Lu has been too busy with work to have time to remove it. It was only recently that the time was scheduled."

Jiang Mian understood immediately upon hearing this. Lu Bozhou's car accident back then, where he crashed into a mountain wall on the mountain road, was so horrific that it would be impossible for him to survive without breaking several bones.

Unexpectedly, he has been putting off dealing with the lingering effects of his injuries until now.

Jiang Mian frowned. She still couldn't remain indifferent to Lu Bozhou; in fact, she never could.

"Where is he..." Jiang Mian looked up and asked, "Where is he now?"

"Mr. Lu is in the ward preparing for surgery. You can leave after you finish your rehabilitation. We won't call you if there are no problems during the surgery," the doctor replied.

Jiang Mian turned to look at the doctor who was doing her rehabilitation, "How much longer do I have here?"

The rehabilitation doctor replied, "Hmm? This is all done here."

Jiang Mian picked up the crutch by the bedside, stood up, and said to the doctor, "Could you please take me to his ward?"

In the hospital room, Lu Bozhou sat on the bed, frowning and looking down at his legs. "Why do I have to remove leg hair too?"

Her long, slender legs had firm, beautiful muscle lines, and on her pale, cool-toned skin was a scar that had faded to white—a scar from the surgery she had undergone.

"Nonsense, I'm getting my shaving done." Song Xu was holding a razor. "Or do it yourself?"

Lu Bozhou took the razor.

Song Xu said, "You too, I told you to remove the internal fixation a long time ago, but you didn't react at all. Why did you suddenly think of this now? Besides, you've been having a lot of health problems lately, so you shouldn't be having any more surgery during this time."

"I haven't been busy with work for a while, so it's good that I've taken care of everything that needed to be resolved," Lu Bozhou said casually.

Song Xu glanced at him. "Not for a self-inflicted injury ploy?"

Lu Bozhou paused in his movements, looked up at Song Xu, and said, "I don't want to die now, I want to live well, so I have to take better care of my body."

He paused for a few seconds, then gave a slight smile. "If it could soften her heart, I would be more than happy to do so."

That was what his heart desired, and there was no reason for him to deny it.

Jiang Mian overheard Lu Bozhou and Song Xu's conversation from outside the door.

She took a deep breath, knocked on the ward door, and went inside.

With his back to the ward door, Song Xu assumed that an orthopedic surgeon was coming to take Lu Bozhou to the operating room.

"It'll be ready soon," Song Xu said.

Then I saw Lu Bozhou on the hospital bed, his gaze fixed on the door of the ward, completely frozen in place.
