Chapter 270 The muscles began to atrophy
So she just lay there until the sky outside gradually brightened, and Xu Jinzhi never fell asleep again.

Her insomnia seems to have gotten worse again.

~

In the blink of an eye, it was March.

Even though it was already spring, City A was still cold, and it even snowed a little at night, making Xu Jinzhi's already bad mood even worse.

However, on the first day of March, what made Xu Jinzhi unhappy was far more than just the bad weather.

Xu Jinzhi got up in the morning, endured the headache from the hangover, and went to wash and change clothes numbly.

After cleaning up, Xu Jinzhi came out of the bedroom and turned directly into Xie Yanchuan's bedroom. When he pushed the door open, he saw several medical staff there, and they all looked not very well.

At that moment, the irritability in Xu Jinzhi's heart completely disappeared, and was replaced by panic, as if his whole heart was suddenly lifted to the edge of a cliff.

Xu Jinzhi glanced at Xie Yanchuan on the bed, then looked at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice: "What happened to him?"

The doctor looked at Xu Jinzhi's appearance and really couldn't bear to hit her hard, but they had to tell her about this situation. If the condition got worse, they couldn't bear the responsibility.

The doctor said in a heavy tone: "Mr. Xie has been lying in bed for a long time, and the muscles in his calves have begun to atrophy."

Xu Jinzhi stared at the doctor blankly, and opened his mouth several times before he said with difficulty: "But, but we..."

"Haven't you been taking care of me all the time?" Xu Jinzhi said this simple sentence with great difficulty.

The doctor explained: "Even with nursing care, it is difficult to avoid muscle atrophy if you lie in bed for such a long time without moving."

Xu Jinzhi suddenly felt that she had difficulty breathing. She felt that she should say something, but for a moment she didn't know what she should say.

So they just looked at each other silently.

The nurse was a little afraid to look at Xu Jinzhi because his job was to massage the patients and do some cleaning.

Mr. Xu gave him a very high salary, but Mr. Xie's health is still getting worse. The caregiver feels a little sorry, but there is nothing he can do.

After a long time, Xu Jinzhi said in a hoarse voice: "I know."

The doctor wanted to say that the condition was not serious at the moment and that it might not get worse if she was well taken care of. However, seeing the woman's devastated look, he couldn't bear to say it.

According to the diagnosis of many authoritative experts and the doctor's own diagnosis, the patient's chance of waking up is almost zero.

Although the atrophy of my calves is still very mild, it will not get better if I keep lying down like this.

If this is the case, why bother to comfort her and give her hope, only to see her step by step falling into disappointment and even despair?

So the doctor was unable to say those last words of comfort.

Xu Jinzhi was always absent-minded when he was at work, and even got his hand scalded by the overflowing hot water when he was getting water from the teahouse.

The moment his hand was scalded, Xu Jinzhi instinctively let go of his hand, and then the cup fell to the ground, and the hot water splashed onto Xu Jinzhi's legs.

Fortunately, Xu Jinzhi was wearing long pants, so he was not burned even if the hot water splashed.

But Xu Jinzhi's brain was a little weird. When he saw the broken glass on the ground, he actually squatted down and reached out to pick up the glass fragments.

The tea room here is public. An employee came to get some water. As soon as he came in, he saw Xu Jinzhi squatting down to pick up the broken glass. "Boss Xu!" the boy shouted excitedly.

Xu Jin subconsciously raised his head to look over, and the hand that had picked up the glass fragments unconsciously exerted a little more force. Before Xu Jinzhi himself realized it, his fingers had been cut.

The employee looked at the blood dripping from Xu Jinzhi's fingertips, and panic instantly appeared in his eyes.

"Mr. Xu, you, you!" After saying "you" for a long time, the man still didn't know what to say. He was just an intern and really didn't know how to deal with such things.

Fearing that something might go wrong, the boy shouted directly to the outside: "Assistant Chen!"

in the office.

Assistant Wen was squatting in front of Xu Jinzhi, treating her wound. Assistant Wen was always a cold person, and at this moment his brows were furrowed.

Assistant Chen at the side also had a frown on his face, making the atmosphere in the office seem very depressing.

Only after the wound and the burn were treated did Assistant Wen look up at Xu Jinzhi. She said in a deep voice, "Try not to touch water until the wound heals."

"Okay." Xu Jinzhi nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

However, Xu Jinzhi's well-behaved attitude did not satisfy them. Instead, they felt that she was very perfunctory.

Assistant Wen frowned again. Although they were in a boss-subordinate relationship, they had worked together for many years, so their relationship was different.

Assistant Wen was about to say something when the office door opened and a steady and serious voice came, "What happened? Where are you hurt?"

Xu Zhen came down from upstairs in a hurry. He only knew that Xu Jinzhi was injured, and didn't know what exactly happened. Anyway, he came here in a hurry.

When Assistant Wen and Assistant Chen saw President Xu coming, they tactfully left the office, leaving the space to the father and daughter.

"What happened? How did you get injured?" Xu Zhen walked over and looked at Xu Jinzhi with a serious expression.

Xu Jinzhi had come back to her senses by now. She explained casually, "It was just that the hot water accidentally overflowed and scalded my hand. It's not a big deal."

"When have you ever been so careless?" Xu Zhen didn't believe that things could be so simple. "Did something happen?"

Xu Jinzhi shook his head. "It's okay. I was just a little distracted at the time."

"Is Xie Yanchuan in bad condition?" Xu Zhen asked directly.

Xu Jinzhi was speechless for a moment and looked at Xu Zhen without saying anything. Xu Jinzhi's reaction also confirmed that Xu Zhen's previous guess was correct.

Xu Zhen's expression became more serious. He was silent for a moment before continuing, "Jinzhi, you don't just have Xie Yanchuan. You also have me and two children."

In fact, both Xu Zhen and the Xie family have begun to accept the fact that Xie Yanchuan will never wake up again, or even suddenly stop breathing one day.

But Xu Jinzhi had not accepted it yet. No matter how indifferent she acted, Xu Zhen knew that she had not accepted it.

She was still waiting for Xie Yanchuan to wake up.

"Xie Yanchuan wouldn't want to see you like this. He definitely wants you to live well." Xu Zhen said earnestly.

My dears, I am begging for recommendations, monthly tickets, collections and rewards!
