I lifted my head in confusion to look at Colin. Was he invitingto cwith him? His starry eyes gazed atin sincerity, and I smirked.
Now this was the person whom I’d love forever. Life was a long journey. There would be times when he felt lost or disoriented, but he would never be astray. He would givea sense of security whenever I wanted it.
The doctor we were consulting was Dr. Zayne, who used to treat Felix. He was tall and slightly chubby as his lids fluttered in earnestness. The moment we met him, the smile never left his face. He was very easygoing and friendly.
After examining the wound, Dr. Zayne scrutinized the X-ray scans for a very long while and read through the medical report from Lagado. The whole process took nearly 40 minutes. In the end, he said that the surgery was a huge success and that the nerves in her limbs were fine.
However, she needed to let her nerves heal properly and attend physiotherapy. Ads by PubFuture
When Dr. Zayne was going through the materials, his brows knitted into a deep frown. I was worried sick because I thought Jasmine’s condition was grim. If her injury was permanent, Colin could never repay what he owed her. I’d hate to see that.
More importantly, I didn’t think that Jasmine was physically unwell. It was her soul that needed surgery. Felix was the prexample, and I couldn’t help but assthe worst from her. Felix never went easy on Colin even though he was his brother.
Jasmine and I went to the suniversity. We weren’t bound by anything else. I could imagine all the things she would do to take Colin away from me.
Fortunately, Dr. Zayne gave us good news. What a relief. Jasmine, however, wasn’t pleased by how things turned out. Ever since she entered the consultation room, she sulked and refused to speak. Her bodyguards stood next to her like custodians.
When Dr. Zayne said that her operation was a huge success and that as long as she powered through the physical rehabilitation, she could walk again, she looked as though she had just eaten a lemon. Ads by PubFuture
For a moment, I had a feeling that only Colin and I wished that she regained the ability to walk. She was happy to use her disability as an excuse to stay with us.
“Find a good rehab center. If you can’t find any, we can recommend a few. As long as the patient remains cooperative, she’ll regain her former mobility within three to four months. However, it might be quite painful at the beginning.
“Once you get through that, it’ll get better.”
Colin toldthat the professionals in Lagado also suggested Jasmine undergo physiotherapy. But when the nurses helped her stand up, she would cry loudly as if she was tortured. One time, she even fainted. And now, no one dared to mention physiotherapy before her. However, when given the chance, no one loved being a cripple forever. Back then, everyone thought that the doctors in Lagado made a wrong diagnosis. That was why Colin decided to bring her to Jinovy.
I was very upset when Colin toldthat. I even made the mental preparation that if Jasmine could never walk again, Colin and I would look after her like a family member.
Alas, we underestimated the complexity of the problem. Spatients did not want to be healed at all. Dr. Zayne gave us the full picture.
Jasmine knew her body best. She pretended to be in great pain and om refused to attend physiotherapy so that she could remain crippled for as long as possible. Why? It was so that Colin would look after her.
Perhaps she did let him go when he rejected her back then. But many years later they reunited. They were both single and Colin looked even more charming than before. Perhaps that rekindled the feelings inside her, and she becobsessed with him.
