Chapter 234


    In the ward, Zhou Lie’s injured right leg was in a ster cast and he was surrounded by five to six


    doctors, all of whom were performing checks on him with equipment that made him feel uneasy.


    After finding out about Zhou Lie’s fall, Chu Feng had quickly rushed back into the house, secured


    the wound with wooden boards and called 120 to get him hospitalised.


    Luckily, he’d only suffered a minor fracture, but this was enough to worry Liu Minn and Zhou Ying


    sick.


    “I’m not made of dough. Just get the doctor to bandage me up and let me rest for a month or two. It


    doesn’t feel right for Muqing toe all this way, only to spend time in the hospital with me,” he said


    sheepishly


    Yun Muqing immediately waved dismissively. “It’s alright, uncle. Don’t worry about anything else.


    Just focus on your recovery.”


    “Yeah, dad. You’re not going anywhere, so stay in the ward and cooperate with the doctors. Chu


    Feng has my job covered anyway, so I can take care of you,” said Zhou Ying. She teared up, her


    heart aching for her father.

    Liu Minn wiped her tears and huffed, “Damn old man, I can’t catch a break with you! Did you


    really have to climb on the roof and fix that roof leak in the dead of night? You don’t even know how


    old you already are.”


    Chu Feng sat on the bed and said, “Dad, I’m back now. You can leave the dangerous stuff to me.”


    Zhou Lie lowered his head, then huffed indignantly, “It was just an ident. When I was a recon


    soldier, I could scale buildings seven to eight meters tall like it was a game. But now I can’t do that


    anymore. I guess age is no joke.” Zhou Lie sighed dejectedly. Chu Feng couldn’t help but feel sad


    when he noticed the wrinkles and silver hair on his adoptive father’s face.


    All of a sudden, he’d realized that the same man who was strong as a tower of steel, the man who


    used to lift him over his head with ease and protected him as a child, was now old and losing the


    race against time.


    Now the boy you cared for is a grown man who can shoulder the sky itself, so it’s my turn to care for


    you and let you lean on me as you go, Chu Feng thought internally but said nothing. Men often kept


    their thoughts and troubles to themselves, and Chu Feng was no exception. “How’s my father,


    doctor?” he asked, noticing the checkups were over.


    The doctor nced at a CT scan and frowned. “The patient’s right leg suffered a fracture and


    dislocation during the fall, but that’s not our biggest issue. Problem is, this leg had sustained injuries


    before and has metal imnts that led to chronic rheumatoid arthritis after several decades. Now


    that the leg has suffered additional injuries, it may be crippled if the recovery is botched.”


    The doctor’s words sent the family into disarray. Liu Minn and Zhou Ying started begging the


    doctor to save Zhou Lie’s leg, who promised to do his best.


    Chu Feng was internally beating himself up because Zhou Lie’s old injury was only there because


    the Chamber of the Four Seas took hisnd deed and broke his leg for daring to protest, and this


    injury was the root for much of the old man’s suffering.


    Even though Chu Feng had avenged him by asking Ma Sanyuan to break his arm and the legs of


    those responsible for his injury, then forced him to apologize personally, the wound remained. The


    suffering Zhou Lie had endured during the past decade could not be erased, and Chu Feng would


    forever regret this.


    But things were different now. Chu Feng had inherited the Great Dharma Monk’s Collection of


    Mystical Healing, and it contained countless methods on healing Zhou Lie’s injury.


    “Doctor, can the metal imnts in his right leg be surgically removed?” Chu Feng asked. Surgery


    required extensive practical experience and left no room for mistakes. Just to be safe, Chu Feng


    would leave the imnt removal to the professionals because so long as the imnts were gone,


    healing Zhou Lie using acupuncture and herbal remedies would be no issue.


    The doctor frowned. “Yes, but it’s incredibly risky and could end up damaging the patient’s nerve


    endings, which would permanently cripple him. Please take more time to consider.”


    “As long as you can get rid of the imnts, I can cure him.” Chu Feng nodded confidently, but the


    doctor remained hesitant and looked at Chu Feng uneasily. No matter how he looked at it, this


    young man could not be depended upon.


    “Doctor, just take my son’s advice and cut me open.” Zhou Lieughed, then said withplete


    trust, “I trust my son. If he says there’s a way, then there must be a way.”
