Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands-Chapter 516: Numbing distress
The sight of a doctor frowning while stepping outside the emergency room was no less than seeing a grim reaper stepping inside the ICU. Alarm bells started to ring inside Luo Huian’s head as she stepped forward and came to a stop in front of Doctor Si. She asked him, "What’s going on? Did something happen?" When she asked this question, Luo Huian herself didn’t sense that her voice was filled with a hint of nervousness.
"Both of his legs are broken," replied Doctor Si; he didn’t Luo Huian like he usually did and spoke in a clear, cut voice. Without wasting any more time, he continued, "The blow to his legs had caused quite a lot of damage to his nerves; there is a really good chance that he might never be able to get back onto his feet. Of course, this is the current scenario."
"As long as Mister Qi pays attention to his health and continues his treatment and takes his medicines on time, there is always a chance that he will be able to get back on his feet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Huian stumbled. She blinked her eyes in disbelief, as she could not believe that something like this happened under her watch.
She was the one who promised Qi Yongrui that she would keep him safe. Now, what would happen to her promise?
Luo Huian was shocked. She had no words to speak at the moment; she only had one thought and that was —she harmed Qi Yongrui.
Long Zhong, who was standing on the side quietly, could no longer stay quiet. He turned and glared at Luo Huian before scolding her angrily, "You! It is your fault. You were the one who said that you had everything under your control and that nothing would happen to us. This was the only reason why we agreed to stay at the shack without trying to escape."
"Look at what you did! You better tell me what your plans are, Luo Huian! I am telling you that you better give an explanation to me and Brother Yongrui. He is the proud son of the heavens and has never suffered such grievances in his life. What would he do now? How will he continue living his life?"
"You better tell me the truth."
"What are your plans at the moment now that something has happened to my brother?" Long Zhong asked with an annoyed look. "I am telling you, if you think that you can divorce my brother Yongrui after this, then you can forget it! Because it would never happen. You will be taking responsibility for him all your life!"
Long Zhong had grown up together with Qi Yongrui. He was an orphan as well; if not for Qi Yongrui, he would have certainly lived a sorry life. It was all thanks to Qi Yongrui, who remembered the grace of handing him a bread loaf, that he helped Long Zhong to this point.
How could he not be furious when he thought about how Qi Yongrui would have to live a life where he would be looked down on by everyone?
"Alright, calm down." Luo Qingling knew and understood what Long Zhong was feeling at the moment, but at the same time, she felt that the mer was being unfair. Though Luo Huian did make a slight mistake in her calculations, Luo Huian didn’t mean it. The one who was the cause of this tragedy was someone else.
She turned and calmly glanced at Long Zhong. "An An was not the one who asked Qi Yongrui to come to this place. It was the Qi and the Wen family; if you have something to say, then you need to take your anger out on them. Think about it: if An An didn’t come here, then there was a good chance that you all would have died."
Luo Qingling’s words caused all the anger within Long Zhong to simmer down. He wanted to refute her claims, but when he thought about it a bit more calmly, he realised that what Luo Qingling said was indeed correct. At least with Luo Huian’s help, they were able to keep their lives. If she were not with them, what would they have done?
Wouldn’t they have lost their lives without anyone knowing where they died?
Long Zhong calmed down, and Luo Qingling sighed in relief. She then turned to look at Luo Huian and said to her in a calm voice, "It is not your fault, alright? You did what you could."
Though Luo Huian nodded, Luo Qingling knew that she didn’t take her words to heart, which left Luo Qingling a bit helpless. She knew that at this moment, no matter what she said, Luo Huian would not listen to her.
She could only hope that Qi Yongrui would get better soon; if not, Luo Huian might never forgive herself.
"Doctor Si, please do your best." Luo Qingling turned and looked at Doctor Si, who nodded with a stern expression.
"Of course, we will try our best." As doctors, they would always give their all to save their patients, but in the end, they were not gods; they could only try to do their best and hope for the patient’s recovery.
Doctor Si nodded at Luo Qingling before turning around on his feet and heading inside the ICU.
Once the man left, Luo Huian’s leg gave way, and she sat down on the metal chair with her hands scrunching her hair. She had no idea what to do at that moment. She could, of course, get some medicines to help Qi Yongrui get back on his feet, but she wondered if that old hag would let her take them?
She was not allowed to go back to the immortal realm and could only hope for the miracle pill to arrive. But even that would take three to four months because a miracle pill cannot be kept for more than three days.

Thus, no immortal made it. Instead, they created it when in need and only when the injuries were beyond saving.
Would anyone let her have it if she told them that she needed it because she wanted to heal a mer’s legs? Luo Huian had a feeling that she would not be able to get her hands on the miracle pill if she were to tell the truth.
’Then does that mean that I have to lie?’ As soon as Luo Huian thought about it, her expression changed again and again. Lies? She had never lied. She swore to never lie because it had cost her half a soul but!
She raised her head and turned to look at the closed doors of the ICU.
The sight of the metal doors being closed did something to her, and she became certain about what she wanted to do.
She rose to her feet slowly and called Xiao Hei.
Since she had decided, she might as well deal with it.
When Qi Yongrui woke up, he felt oddly numb. At first, he did not understand what was going on. He scrunched up his eyes and opened them. The sight of the brilliant white light blinded him for a second before his vision adjusted to the bright light.
"Brother Rui!" Long Zhong stood up and looked down at Qi Yongrui, who had woken up. He stared at him with concern and then said to Qi Yongrui, "Brother Rui, can you hear me? Can you see how many fingers there are?" As he spoke, he showed two fingers to Qi Yongrui, who frowned.
"It’s two —why are you asking me this question?" he asked as he could not understand why this mer was suddenly asking such a stupid and foolish question to him.
Long Zhong, on the other hand, ignored the disdain with which Qi Yongrui was looking at him. He blinked his eyes and then said to him, "You—just wait here. I will go and call the doctors for you." After speaking he didn’t wait for Qi Yongrui’s response and rushed out of the ward. As soon as he ran out, Qi Yongrui frowned even harder.
It wasn’t until Qi Yongrui was pushed to the examination room and the doctors handed Long Zhong and Luo Qingling a report that he realised what was happening. Turned out that he was actually squashed to death by a bunch of things when he tried to save Long Zhong. And the result was —
"You don’t have to hide it from me," he said to Luo Qingling and Long Zhong. Though he didn’t understand where Luo Huian was, Qi Yongrui didn’t show any signs of feeling hurt at the moment. He waited for the two to speak without showing any hint of impatience. However, the more he acted like this, the more Luo Qingling and Long Zhong felt sorry for him.
Long Zhong sat down and took his hands into his. He said to Qi Yongrui, "You need to be very calm —"
CLANG.
