Chapter 587: What Are You Doing
"At the head of the bed, there are the results of the CT and X-ray exams, all shattered like that. It’s probably beyond healing, isn’t it?" Xu Ning’an felt dejected again when she thought of the fractures on the CT scan.
No matter how beautiful the promises, they eventually lose to reality.
Even so, Xu Ning’an refrained from saying anything that would discourage Lin Tian.
She knew Lin Tian genuinely wanted to help her heal her leg injury, and even if it wasn’t possible, she wouldn’t blame him.
It’s already this bad, can it get any worse?
"Lin Tian, do you remember the thing I asked you to do before?" Xu Ning’an asked.
Lin Tian, holding the CT scan, looked at Ning’an’s earnest face and asked, "What?"
"Avenge my mother!"
"Of course, I remember that."
"If my leg never heals, please remember to avenge my mother!" When Xu Ning’an uttered these words, there was a murderous aura about her. This is likely her greatest wish at the moment. Compared to her hatred, her leg seems insignificant.
"Of course, I’ll help you with that, but you shouldn’t have such negative thoughts. I said your leg could be healed, and it certainly can be. And even if it can’t, you shouldn’t slack off on the revenge part."
"Hmm, I know. Lin Tian... thank you."
"It’s nothing."
"If you end up single, I might settle down with you," Xu Ning’an said.
Lin Tian looked at her with a smile. She could joke around now, feeling much better than before.
The mood is crucial for healing injuries.
"I don’t expect you to settle down with me. Just remember to give me the bounty for the two assassin sisters. It’s been so long without news. I thought you’d run off with the money, breaking the law as a police officer." Lin Tian laughed.
"Now that you mention it, I really did think about it," Xu Ning’an said with a light smile.
"You can’t escape," Lin Tian said, focusing his eyes back on the CT scan, which became more and more alarming with every look.
"Under the current circumstances, we can’t start your treatment," Lin Tian said.
"Why? Didn’t you say you could do it?" Xu Ning’an became a little anxious, although she didn’t show it on her face, she was incredibly anxious inside.
She had already given up any hope for her injury, but Lin Tian brought a glimmer of hope.
The old saying goes: the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. That’s exactly Xu Ning’an’s current situation.
"Don’t worry now. Your leg just got stabilized, and it’s in the healing period. The most important thing you need is to nourish it. We can begin treatment once the condition improves."
"Then how long will that take?"
"I’ll use the Osteopathic Massage Skill on you; it should take about a few days," Lin Tian said.
"A few days?"
"I can’t confirm yet; it will depend on the situation. But if you listen to me, you will definitely recover." Lin Tian placed his hand on her injured leg and quietly infused his Spiritual Qi.
The Spiritual Qi slowly entered Xu Ning’an’s pores, creating a wonderful sensation that made her feel both physically and mentally comfortable. She wanted to cry out, but her stubborn nature kept her silent.
If she cried out, that sound would be too embarrassing.
"How does it feel?" Lin Tian asked.
"It’s all tingly and ticklish, be gentle."
"Does it hurt this way?"
"No, it actually feels quite comfortable."
Gradually, Lin Tian increased the pressure with his hand, and Spiritual Qi streamed between his fingers, eventually integrating into Xu Ning’an’s body without any impurities.
Spiritual Qi is the most magical gas in the world, or perhaps the most magical force.
When it merges into Xu Ning’an’s body, it encounters no resistance and instead helps improve her injury. It is well-known that when an injury is healing, the wound often itches intensely, making you want to scratch it.
Xu Ning’an was in that state now. The itching sensation became increasingly intense, making her want to scratch while trying hard not to cry out.
"Don’t hold it in. If you want to cry out, just cry out," Lin Tian laughed.
Hearing this, Xu Ning’an held back her voice even more stubbornly. She was a girl unwilling to give in.
After about five minutes, Lin Tian withdrew his hand, now covered in sweat.
In these five minutes, Lin Tian didn’t hold back any Spiritual Qi from within him. Such a massive output couldn’t possibly not tire him.
"Is that enough?" The tingling in Xu Ning’an’s body gradually faded, and finally, she didn’t have to hold back anymore.
She looked at her leg, still in plaster, and although its appearance hadn’t changed, the pain felt much less than before, proving that Lin Tian’s massage technique was quite effective.
"Yes, I’ll massage it again whenever I have the time. It helps with bone setting and future rehabilitation training." Lin Tian said as he took out two sheets of tissue to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Hearing Lin Tian say that, a rare smile appeared on Xu Ning’an’s face as she laughed: "It’s fine. Whenever I’m free in the future, I’ll rub it a bit myself like you did just now, so you won’t have to work so hard."
"No way!" Lin Tian got anxious and then patiently explained, "With your current leg, you shouldn’t listen to anyone except me and the doctor. Don’t let anyone, including yourself, mess with it. If the technique is wrong, the old injury might recur."
Looking at Lin Tian’s serious expression, Xu Ning’an smiled and nodded. "Thank you, truly. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do now."
Though her face was lit up with a smile, tears once again trickled down.
This strong girl didn’t even cry while investigating Du Dahai’s organization when she was captured, but now she’s like a tearful doll, which would break anyone’s heart.
Lin Tian pulled out another tissue and wiped the tears from her face, saying, "I have more good news for you, Du Dahai has been captured. I’m planning to present him to you, so you can earn credit again."
"What? Du Dahai has been captured?"
Suddenly, Xu Ning’an sat up straight, anxiously asking, "Where is he now?"
"Why?"
"He might be related to my mother’s death! There might be a crucial clue!" Xu Ning’an could hardly control herself. If it weren’t for Lin Tian holding her down, she might have already leaped forward.
"Don’t worry, he’s with me now and can’t escape. Once you are well, I’ll take you to see him. Is that okay?" Lin Tian quickly reassured.
"Okay." Xu Ning’an nodded. She could see that Lin Tian genuinely cared for her well-being.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a doctor in a white coat entered, holding a registry book in his hand.
When he saw the situation inside, his eyes widened, "What are you doing!"
