Chapter 24: Manipulating the Weak and Sick

Before Feng Lin could heave a sigh of relief upon seeing the girl wake up, he was completely stunned by Su Xianyu's next words.

"Xiaoyu, what did you... just say?"

Su Xianyu seemed a bit flustered but still repeated her previous question.

"I feel it's so dark. Why didn't you turn on the light, brother?"

Feng Lin forced a smile. "Your eyes might have suffered a minor injury. The doctor said it's not suitable for you to be exposed to light sources for now, so I didn't turn on the light."

"Oh, I see."

Watching Su Xianyu look reassured, Feng Lin frowned tightly.

He reached out his hand and waved it in front of the girl's eyes, only to find that her gaze didn't change at all.

Feng Lin's heart sank instantly.

The brain was not his area of expertise.

He got up and contacted Dr. Yao and others in the hospital. They immediately conducted a full - body examination on Su Xianyu again.

Feng Lin suppressed his anger and questioned, "What on earth is going on? Didn't you say it was just a scratch?"

Yao An stared at the CT images, fine sweat oozing from his forehead.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't have gone blind!

"The brain was hit, and it does show that there is still some blood stasis. But the specific consequences are still uncertain."

"Now Xiaoyu can't see. Is it caused by this blood stasis?"

"Maybe it's compressing the optic nerve, but the brain structure is too delicate. I'm not sure about this position..."

"Just tell me the solution directly," Feng Lin said firmly.

"Can this blood stasis be removed through surgery? Is it possible for it to heal on its own, and if so, how long will it take?"

Yao An let out a soft sigh as he looked at the increasingly impatient man.

"Feng Lin, you're a doctor yourself. You know that all surgeries carry risks, especially a highly difficult brain surgery like this."

"As for the healing time, no doctor can guarantee it. So my suggestion here is still conservative treatment."

Seeing Feng Lin's reluctant expression, Dr. Yao added,

"If it can't heal on its own after a long time, you might consider surgery then."

Although Feng Lin didn't want to admit it, Yao An was indeed one of the top brain experts in the country.

Since he proposed the conservative treatment plan, it meant that the location of this blood stasis was very sensitive, and there were not many people in the world who could perform the surgery.

Feng Lin had no choice but to reluctantly accept this result and began to wrack his brains on how to hide the truth from Xiaoyu.

Unexpectedly, he was exposed in the blink of an eye.

"Brother, how's my examination result?"

"It's okay. You just need to rest well."

Su Xianyu reached out and touched the eye patch. "When can I take this off?"

"In a few more days. The doctor said it needs some time to recover."

"Actually, it's not that you didn't turn on the light. It's because I can't see, right?"

Caught off - guard by the sudden revelation of the truth, Feng Lin was at a loss for words. "Xiaoyu, you..."

Su Xianyu forced a stiff smile on her lips. "It's okay, brother. It's already great that I'm still alive."

Guilt flashed in Feng Lin's eyes. "I'm sorry, Xiaoyu. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have..."

"What are you talking about, brother?" Su Xianyu shook her head slightly, stopping him from continuing.

If used properly, a person's guilt could be an invincible weapon.

However, if one deliberately reminded the person of their guilt, it would be a bad move.

This would gradually turn his initial compensatory psychology into impatience, and finally, he might not even want to see the person he owed.

So, it was enough to just hint at it inadvertently each time.

"At that speed, if the car had hit you, you would have died!"

"I don't regret it. Exchanging my eyes for a life, I still made a profit."

Looking at that forced smile of bravery, Feng Lin's heart ached.

"Don't worry. I've already asked Chen Shui to handle this. Brother will definitely give you an explanation."

Moreover, Feng Lin promised, "Your blindness is only temporary. Brother will definitely find a way to cure you."

Hearing his words, Su Xianyu felt much more at ease.

"Okay. I'll listen to you, brother."

[Woohoo, this is simply an innocent disaster. Poor little sister Xiaoyu. Reward × 10]

[Xiaoyu is kind and brave. She even saved our Linbao. I hope she recovers soon. Reward × 20]

[Alas, it's a pity. Even though Feng Lin is the male lead, he's destined to find out nothing this time.]

[Humph~ She acts like a pure white lotus. I think she just wants to get more benefits from Feng Lin.]

[You're just jealous, aren't you? Would you dare to risk your life for benefits? Do you want these benefits?]

After a week of recuperation in the hospital, Su Xianyu's scratches all over her body had almost healed.

Except for her eyes, which still hadn't regained their sight.

"Brother, I want to go home."

Thinking that the physical therapy in the hospital only needed to be done once a week, Feng Lin agreed to Su Xianyu's decision.

"Okay."

As soon as they got out of the car, Su Xianyu heard several synchronized greetings, which made her feel extremely embarrassed.

"Welcome home, young master and Miss Su."

"Brother, what's this?"

Feng Lin looked at Steward Chen and the others helplessly. "It's Chen Shui, Aunt Liu and the others. They prepared a welcome - home ceremony for your discharge from the hospital."

"It's inconvenient for you to live alone during this period. Why don't you come back to the Feng Mansion with me first."

Su Xianyu thought for a moment and then nodded.

Feng Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Xiaoyu's eyes were injured, she seemed to have become more introverted and less talkative than before.

Feng Lin was really afraid that she couldn't accept it for a while and might have some psychological problems. It was more reassuring to keep her under his nose.

Back in the familiar Feng Mansion, Su Xianyu gradually came to terms with her blindness. From time to time, she would go out with a blind stick.

Feng Lin led her to get familiar with the layout of the house again and sent someone to wrap anti - collision strips around the edges of tables and chairs overnight.

"Ouch!"

Hearing Su Xianyu's exclamation, Feng Lin rushed over quickly.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyu?"

There was a puddle of water on the ground. Su Xianyu was standing in the kitchen nervously, holding an empty cup in her hand.

Seeing that she was about to walk towards him after hearing the sound, afraid that she might slip on the water, Feng Lin quickly stopped her.

"Stand still. I'll call someone to clean it up."

"I'm sorry, brother," Su Xianyu tightly grasped the corner of her clothes with both hands. "I just wanted to get a glass of water by myself, but I messed it up again."

Hearing her apology, the pain in Feng Lin's eyes deepened.

"Xiaoyu, I'm not angry, and I would never blame you."

He gently grabbed Su Xianyu's wrist and pulled her away from the puddle on the ground.

"I'm angry at myself for not being able to cure you yet."

Su Xianyu held Feng Lin's hand back and comforted him instead.

"I know you've been trying to find a way. Take your time. I'm not in a hurry."

"Okay." Looking at her empty eyes, Feng Lin had already decided to contact Professor Daniel, a world - renowned brain expert who was about to retire.

Although he had heard that the conditions for inviting him to take action had been very harsh in recent years and few people had succeeded, Feng Lin still decided to give it a try.

He would definitely cure Xiaoyu!

At this moment, in Yuanya Hospital.

A woman in a pink dress entered the outpatient building and headed straight for the elevator, but was politely stopped by the nurse at the consultation desk.

"Ma'am, please register first before going to the consulting room upstairs."

She took off her sunglasses and said softly with her red lips, "I'm looking for Feng Lin."

"......Ruan Sisi?"
