Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 1038: The Curable Face

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Lu Jin could only look at the two cute yet naughty kids while reminiscing on his granddaughter’s face. It had been a full two months since the last time he saw his granddaughter. There were times where he would think that Old Master Lu had been intentionally delaying his time to go home.

He had seen those who tricked their parents but never had he seen someone who would trick their own son like this.

His granddaughter was not the only one at home. He could have looked for Xiao Qi and Xiao Guang instead. Why must it always be Xunxun? This is so unfair.

Yan Huan put down the note, sat down and stared blankly at the front. No one knew what was going on in her mind.

She could see her three children every day since she moved here. She no longer needed to hide from them from afar nor pick up unwanted items from them. She could now keep in contact with them at a close distance.

She could finally touch their little hands, small cheeks, and even hear them calling herself mummy. She could even cook something nice for those three little ones. As for the three, they honored her very much by enjoying their mother’s cooking.

However, Yan Huan still remained the same in terms of Lu Yi. Although she didn’t talk to him a lot, he would still prepare everything she needs. She never needed to worry about food or water. She would not go hungry even if she never stepped out of the house.

The door outside was pushed open slowly. Again, Lu Yi voiced out and warned the others around.

“Lower your volume.”

“Don’t worry.” He Yibin controlled the urge to roll his eyes, “The medication that I gave you is sufficient for a buffalo to sleep for one full night, not to mention its effect on humans. He won’t wake up even if we shout out loud.”

“By the way,” He Yibin asked. “You still haven’t told me exactly who I am meeting. Why are you acting so mysterious? It can’t be Yan Huan, right?”

He could feel the atmosphere freeze the moment he finished his sentence. He wanted to slap himself in the face for mentioning the forbidden word.

Lu Yi kept his silence. He merely opened the door and walked in.

He Yibin followed behind Lu Yi awkwardly. He could sense the invisible pressure coming from Lu Yi at the moment, which was almost suffocating to him.

There was a lump on the large bed inside the room.

Wait, the lump was not an object. It was human, a human.

Lu Yi unconsciously lightened his steps while walking to the bed. He reached out his hand and placed it on the top of the person’s head carefully. He was tender and gentle as if he was with his loved one.

It seemed like this person exceeded Yan Huan’s position.

“Who is... this?”

He Yibin could not recognize the one in the bed. He wondered why that person was wearing a mask during the day, indoors and even when she was sleeping. Could it be that there is something shady about her?

“Come here.” Lu Yi raised his head and moved slightly to provide some space.

He Yibin pointed at himself and knew that Lu Yi was talking to him.

There was no one else there other than him. Of course, he would not know if there were ghosts around.

Lu Yi moved his hand to the person’s ear and took off the mask on her face carefully.

He Yibin did not have any large reaction at first. But suddenly, he opened his eyes, his mouth went wide and he could not utter a single word for a long period. He pointed out his trembling finger toward the person in the bed.

“Yan... Yan Huan...”

“Yes,” Lu Yi replied dryly. “Can you check if her face can be fixed? Also, she is slightly lame in her legs.”

Thinking that he was dreaming, He Yibin pinched his own thigh hard and grimaced in pain.

He attended Yan Huan hurriedly and saw the scar that covered half of her face. Even the word shocking was not enough to describe it, it was too horrible to look at. How did this happen?

Her face was severely damaged.

“Is it curable?”

Lu Yi asked He Yibin. He knew Yan Huan would be like this for her whole life if her face never got back to how it used to be. She would refuse to speak, decline from having contact with anyone and hide like a tortoise in its shell. She would hide in the dark, never seeing sunshine and bright lights anymore.

Aside from the disfigurement, her face alone would be a constant reminder of the many incidents that happened to her and stop her from facing them. Therefore, the first step to bringing her back to normal was to cure her face and legs.

He Yibin checked half of Yan Huan’s face throughout and then pinched the bones in her limping leg.

“To be frank, the damage on her face is really severe.”

Lu Yi’s expression turned extremely grave the moment he heard He Yibin’s words, his heart sunk. He felt like a cold breeze blew through, and that the world became ice and snow in an instant.

“But,” He Yibin put the mask back on Yan Huan’s face, “You must believe that there is something called plastic surgery which can turn a man to a woman, and turn a woman to another woman.”

“Although the damage on her face is severe, it is still far from incurable. However, we need a highly professional plastic surgeon to do this. Coincidentally,” He Yibin paused and thought for a while, “I know a professional plastic surgeon. He was my coursemate in England and he had been involved in the plastic surgery field for many years. He is very experienced with external injuries like this one. Besides, there is just a slight bone displacement in her leg. I’m sure that she’ll recover after readjusting the bone and undergoing some physiotherapy, though she can’t do any more extreme movements after this. Her lame leg is a small issue compared to her face. As bones grow slowly, perhaps her lame situation was more serious before this. Now that the bones have grown, her condition isn’t as bad as it used to be. Just let her bone grow more and she will be fine. Your concern right now should be her face instead of her leg.”

“Can you ask him to come as soon as possible?” Lu Yi shut his eyes. The darkness in his eyes faded when he reopened his eyes.

It’s great that her situation is curable. Yes, she can be cured.

They won’t give up as long as there was a chance to cure her, as long as there was still hope.

“Alright, I will contact him right away.” He Yibin was ready to ask his coursemate’s schedule as soon as he went back, hopefully, he could reach here by tomorrow.

However, he still had many questions. Why did Lu Yi not tell him that Yan Huan was found? He would probably not know that Lu Yi had actually got her back if he did not come over today.

What actually happened to Yan Huan?

Her disappearance had been for more than a year, where had she been? What happened to her face and her legs? How did she get wounded so severely? These were the questions that he wanted to ask but he did not know how to start.

“I know what you’re going to ask.” Lu Yi stood up and closed the curtain, leaving only a weak strand of light in so that the room was quieter and more suitable to rest.
