Chapter 479: Chapter 479 Ding Yinuo’s Apology
“I indeed opted for conservative treatment with you, because the necrosis of your cornea is irreversible. The only solution is a corneal transplant, but over these days, I’ve been secretly searching for a matching cornea without success. I had planned to tell you once I found a donor, never expecting your eyes to deteriorate faster than I imagined.”
Ding Yinuo spoke in a very heavy tone.
As expected, after he revealed the truth, my mood plummeted to rock bottom.
I became dejected.
The inability to find a donor also meant that I was going blind.
This is a terrifying prospect.
Having been blind before, I knew all too well…
That’s when you stand at a crossroads, never knowing if a dog will rush out to bite you, if a car will come hurtling towards you, if the person beside you is a friend or a ghost.
The taste of being engulfed in darkness is something I absolutely do not want to experience again.
Ding Yinuo sat next to my bed, took my hand, and urged me,
“It’s okay, I’ll find a way.”
“What can you do? You’re just a doctor, not a god. You can’t conjure a cornea out of thin air, can you?”
I said helplessly.
In truth, I felt quite despondent and didn’t want to say another word.
Ding Yinuo just sat quietly beside me, holding my hand tightly.
“Let’s switch hospitals, go to the First City Hospital. I can continue to treat you there.”
“No need, let’s just stay here.”
I couldn’t quite explain why, but I was holding back a burst of frustration.
Or perhaps it was a loss of faith in the future, a profound desolation. At this point, I couldn’t take in anything Yinuo said.
I never thought the blindness would come so swiftly.
The effect of the anesthetic wore off rapidly, and the pain came back, this time like an avalanche.
I was almost driven mad by the torment…
Really, that pain was frightening. Every time it flared up, I wished I could smash my head against a wall to shatter it and be done with it.
This time they increased the dose of anesthesia…
I fell into a deep sleep that lasted a day and a night.
When I woke up, my vision was already blurry.
I could faintly see several white figures moving in front of me; I tried hard to blink my eyes.
It took a long while before my sight cleared up…
Only then did I realize there were many people in the patient room.
Lin Nansheng, Gu Yuanzhou, Ding Yinuo, and Lin Anqi had all come.
Those white figures were the doctors of the hospital.
They were discussing something, and, now that I was conscious, I could hear everything clearly.
The doctor said, “The patient’s cornea is completely necrotic. It must be removed immediately, or else the infection might spread to the brain cells, which would be troublesome.”
“Is it that serious?” Lin Nansheng’s voice trembled, and he seemed to have lost his composure.
“Dad, don’t worry. Sister has divine protection; her eyesight will definitely recover.”
Lin Anqi was comforting Lin Nansheng on the side.
Lin Nansheng kept sighing.
Ding Yinuo declared firmly beside him,
“I’ll perform the surgery!”
Before he finished speaking, Gu Yuanzhou grabbed him by the collar and slammed him violently against the wall, punching him squarely in the nose.
Ding Yinuo’s nose bled on the spot; he neither fought back nor retaliated.
“You son of a bitch, are you sent by the Jiang Family? Are you deliberately trying to kill Ayun? How did I not see through you sooner?”
“Louis, stop it!”
Watching Gu Yuanzhou get angry, Lin Anqi quickly got up to mediate.
She wrapped her arms around Gu Yuanzhou’s and pulled him away a bit.
Yet, Gu Yuanzhou still pointed at Ding Yinuo’s nose, cursing,
“Get out of here immediately, don’t come any closer to Ayun, or I’ll kill you right now.”
Upon hearing this, Ding Yinuo’s face showed no fear as he calmly wiped away the blood from his nose.
He stubbornly said to Lin Nansheng,
“Uncle Lin, let me perform the surgery on Ayun’s eyes. Other doctors don’t have as much experience as I do, and I want to do one last operation for her.”
Lin Nansheng sighed,
“Little Ding, can you really cure Xiaoyun’s eyes?”
Ding Yinuo turned his head and glanced at me,
“I will do my best.”
Lin Nansheng sighed and shook his head,
“To be honest, I had high hopes for you at the beginning. I thought you could take good care of Xiaoyun, and I even considered letting you two remarry. But you ended up doing such a thing. How can I trust you again?”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Uncle Lin!”
“Enough said, sigh! I’ve already given you a chance, but this time, let it be. Let the doctors in this hospital do it. It’s just the removal of the necrotic cornea, not a major surgery. Others are capable, so you should rest well.”
When Ding Yinuo looked at me again, his eyes were full of pain.
He came over to me again and held my hand.
I silently withdrew my hand…
“Ayun, do you not trust me either?”
Ding Yinuo’s voice trembled slightly.
“If it weren’t for your intervention back then, I could have gone abroad and maybe my eyes would have been healed.”
My voice was hoarse, and to say that I felt no resentment at all would be impossible.
“Impossible, Ayun. Your eyes wouldn’t have been any use abroad either.”
“Why impossible? If you can do the surgery, can’t they do it abroad?” I asked, puzzled.
Ding Yinuo struggled for a while before saying,
“Ayun, I am truly sorry, really sorry!”
“Sorry for what? Ding Yinuo, what exactly did you do?”
I could tell he was hiding something from me, and it was something deep.
“Sorry!”
He kept apologizing over and over, but still refused to explain why.
I was so angry,
“Ding Yinuo, it’s gotten to this point and you still won’t tell the truth. Do you realize that I could possibly die on the operating table? If you don’t explain now, you’ll never have the chance.”
Ding Yinuo seemed to finally grasp the severity of the situation.
“It’s my fault. During the last surgery on you, I connected all the nerves incorrectly, which led to the gradual necrosis of your cornea. Unless the cornea is removed, there’s no saving it. That’s why I didn’t let you go abroad—because there was no cure…”
Ding Yinuo said with deep sorrow.
After I heard this, my heart also grew colder.
Lin Nansheng too was beating his chest in frustration upon hearing these words.
In a fit of rage, Gu Yuanzhou charged in and threw a barrage of punches and kicks at Ding Yinuo before pushing him out of the ward, then instructed the bodyguards outside.
“Block him, don’t let him in again.”
“Damn it, what kind of person is this? With my temper, I really want to kill him!”
“Forget it, Louis, with the way sister is suffering right now, you need to calm down!” Lin Anqi said, persuading Gu Yuanzhou to hold back.
However, reality did not afford me much time,
After the doctors consulted, they decided to perform the surgery to remove my necrotic cornea.
The surgery was soon underway, and after that, I never saw Ding Yinuo again.
