Chapter 52: He Wanted to Stand Again
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Xu Xiyan didn’t say anything further. She took the blue checkered umbrella from Huo Yunshen and got into the van.
She really wanted to thank Huo Yunshen for taking care of her. She would save a ton of time by riding with him.
The car drove quickly and steadily. In just a few minutes, they had arrived at the general hospital.
Xu Xiyan thanked Huo Yunshen after the car had stopped in front of the hospital. She took the umbrella and ran inside.
After seeing Xu Xiyan off, Huo Yunshen asked his driver to drive him to the hospital’s rehabilitation center.
Huo Yunshen really had intended to perform his rehabilitation at the hospital. His rehab was scheduled for every Saturday ever since he got into the accident five years ago. But, in truth, until two years ago, he had been avoiding them.
For the first three years after he was in the accident, he had shut himself in. He’d lived in pain and depression every single day.
The shocking news that he would be paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of his life was devastating to a proud man like him. He had no idea how to live on, and was afraid to go outside.
But two years ago, when he met a counselor named Yim, he became more optimistic.
Miss Yim told him stories about many handicaps who faced their obstacle head-on and succeeded in changing their own fate. She kept encouraging him, telling him that even if life was difficult, he’d have to face it with a smile. Yim believed that with enough conviction, a person could find the strength to change their own fate.
It was Miss Yim who’d motivated him to challenge his fate and take up rehabilitation, one day at a time, until today.
He’d successfully destroyed the devil that was lurking in his heart and body. He was no longer weak and afraid like he used to be five years ago.
Even though he was still unable to walk, his heart was filled with hope and trust.
Huo Yunshen met up with his attending physician, Professor Qin Kun, at the rehab center. Professor Qin was in his fifties, a passionate and reliable doctor. He’d been conducting Huo Yunshen’s rehabilitation ever since he agreed to participate in it.
After greeting his doctor, Huo Yunshen began to discuss the rehabilitation process with him.
He sat in a special-made wheelchair as Qin Kun began to help him stretch.
Bending the legs is an easy task for most people, but to people who are paralyzed, every movement comes with extreme pain and difficulty
Huo Yunshen was drenched in sweat after finishing the exercises. After checking Huo Yunshen’s leg muscle, Qin Kun said, “Not bad Yunshen. Your muscles are in better shape than when you last came in.”
Huo Yunshen was filled with joy after hearing Qin Kun’s comment. He felt both confident and hopeful that he’d definitely get better.
“That’s all for today,” Qin Kun said after checking his watch. “Please rest a while.”
“I don’t need the rest. Could you help me do it again? Please?” Huo Yunshen was practically begging.
No one other than Huo Yunshen, himself, understood what he was feeling. Ever since he’d finally found Xu Xiyan, he wanted to get better quickly so he would be able to stand again.
Only then would he be able to stand by her side and protect her.
He didn’t want to live as a handicapped person anymore; he just wanted to be able to stand.
His determination was what pushed him to try and recover as soon as possible.
He believed in the professor, he believed in himself. Someday, I’ll be able to stand again! Definitely!
Qin Kun acknowledged Huo Yunshen’s resolution and agreed to help him go through the exercises one more time.

Xu Xiyan found the ward that Ying Bao was in and entered. Both Fang Xiaocheng and Wang Dazhi were there to accompany the kid.
Ying Bao was lying in her bed, an IV drip hung beside her. Her little face was pale, as if there was no blood at all. Her eyes were closed, and she looked as if she could be sleeping soundly.
“Orange, how’s Ying Bao?”
