With a smile at Mo Yi, Bai Ren directly asked them about the boy’s physical condition after the examination.
“Mr. Bai, Young Master Mo Yi’s examination results are very good. His body is very healthy, only slightly undernourished. He just needs to pay a little more attention to his diet in the future.”
The result was within expectations. Bai Ren said nothing more, but in his heart he was quietly making plans. From now on, every meal would have to be prepared more abundantly, so he could raise his little fool into being fair, chubby, and well-fed.
Mo Yi did not really care about himself. He was more worried about Bai Ren. Lowering his head, he looked at the man. “Then how are things on your side? Weren’t you discussing that surgery or something? Was the result good?”
Hearing the concern in the boy’s tone, Bai Ren pinched his fingers. “It’s not bad, but the exact situation still has to wait until after the surgery to know. The time has already been set, the surgery is scheduled for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.”
“It will definitely be fine! Bai Ren, you will definitely be cured!”
Mo Yi said this seriously, but in his heart, he was more worried and afraid than anyone else.
He knew very clearly how important the legs were. If this man could never stand up again in the future, what kind of devastating blow would that be to him.
Although this time he had discovered it early, and had not let Bai Ren, like in the original plot, directly send him to some hospital to suffer a second round of harm, Bai Ren in the original plot really had lost both legs. No matter what, this made Mo Yi unable to put his mind at ease.
Mo Yi’s anxiety also carried over into daily life, causing him to seem distracted even when eating dinner.
Seeing that the little fool who loved food the most was now not even attentive when eating, all because he was worrying about his surgery, Bai Ren diligently fed him while half-jokingly complaining that he had learned bad habits and become picky. He told him to focus when eating, but in his heart, a strange sense of satisfaction rose.
Time passed very quickly. On the next day, for Bai Ren’s surgery, Mo Yi naturally stayed with him the entire time, even if it was only waiting outside.
Although there were also medical assistants who quietly told him that the risk of this surgery was not high, that nothing should happen, and that the whole procedure would not take more than three hours at most, Mo Yi still could not feel at ease.
When he rushed out in the morning, he fell once. That reminded him that, apart from everything else, Bai Ren’s fortune value had already dropped to an extremely low point. So even a smooth surgery could still have an accident.
Watching the man being pushed into the operating room with his own eyes, Mo Yi kept silently praying in his heart.
He had originally already stopped making wishes like this, stopped offering prayers that could never possibly come true, stopped fantasizing about unrealistic hopes. But at this very moment, he still piously begged in his heart that the surgery could go smoothly, and that Bai Ren could recover his health.
If he really had to be affected by fortune and become unlucky, then please, let that misfortune fall on him this time. Anyway, he could not possibly get any more unlucky than this!
Seeing Mo Yi’s earnest expression, Zhu Xiuya sighed over her own boss’s good luck.
On the surface, she was Bai Ren’s assistant, but in fact, she had a very deep connection with the Pengtelaigen family, which worked closely with the BM Group. So very early on, she had already seen too much darkness.
From the bottom of her heart, Zhu Xiuya was convinced by Bai Ren, so back then she had chosen to follow Bai Ren, and she would also remain vigilant toward strangers who appeared beside him.
But looking at Mo Yi like this, if such tension and concern were all an act, then this boy’s acting was truly too good.
What was frightening was that, just as Mo Yi had predicted, something unexpected really seemed to have happened during the surgery. The surgery that was originally supposed to end in 3 hours was forcibly dragged out to 8 hours.
By the time it ended, even the lead surgeon was drenched in sweat, following behind the others while clutching a bag of glucose and gulping down a few mouthfuls to replenish his strength.
“Bai Ren!”
Mo Yi cried out and hurried over. Looking at the man on the hospital bed, whose face had become even paler, he unconsciously grasped the other man’s hand.
Bai Ren looked very weak, but he still smiled at Mo Yi.
Seeing him in this condition, Mo Yi could not bear to disturb him, so he could only follow behind. It was only after he saw the man being moved into the ward that he anxiously asked the lead surgeon standing at the door, who was about to leave, “How is Bai Ren’s condition?”
Hearing Mo Yi’s question, the doctor flickered his gaze and said vaguely, “Well, this, it’s not really convenient for us to disclose the patient’s condition. You should ask Mr. Bai yourself.”
After saying that, the doctor quickly left while avoiding Mo Yi’s gaze.
Zhu Xiuya also became a little anxious when she heard the doctor’s words outside the ward. If their boss could not stand up in the future, there would probably be a lot of trouble. But when she turned her head to look at the man lying on the hospital bed, she saw him expressionlessly nod at her.
Seeing that the man, although pale-faced, was clearly in good spirits, Zhu Xiuya finally relaxed, knowing that Bai Ren’s surgery should have succeeded.
But after Mo Yi hurried in from outside into the ward, Bai Ren immediately changed back into a weak appearance.
“Bai Ren.”
Mo Yi subconsciously lowered his voice and came to the bedside, asking, “How was the surgery?”
At this, the man pressed his lips together, lowered his eyes and did not look at Mo Yi’s eyes, sighed, and shook his head.
“What do you mean? How exactly did the surgery go? Then your legs…”
Hearing this, Bai Ren only then raised his eyes and looked at Mo Yi with a pained expression. “Little Mo, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stand up again in the future.”
“In the future, you won’t be able to stand up again?”
Mo Yi’s heart trembled at those words, and even his voice began to shake.
He did not even know how he should comfort Bai Ren, because all words of comfort seemed so pale and powerless.
He had clearly done so much, so why was he still unable to stop Bai Ren from losing his legs!
That sense of helplessness, of being toyed with by fate, surged up again, and Mo Yi even thought of the past.
In the past, he had also countless times wanted to break free of those shackles, wanted to turn his own fate around, and had made all kinds of struggles. Yet the result was often helpless. In the end, he still could only end up with an unsightly conclusion.
Then did that mean that even if he did even more, he still could not change Bai Ren’s final fate!
His eyes reddened. Mo Yi’s heart could not tell whether it was sadness or anger. He suddenly wondered why the System had chosen him to be the task-taker. He was so useless, he could not even protect the only person in this world he wanted to protect.
But just as Mo Yi was utterly broken and despondent, 005’s voice suddenly came from his sea of consciousness.
“Host, don’t be sad! Although, although the villain’s legs may still have a problem right now, everything is not without room for turning around.
Ever since you went to his side, the villain’s fortune value has already risen a little. His current condition is much better than in the predetermined fate.
You have to know that in the original plot deduction, after his leg was injured and he was sent to another hospital to suffer secondary harm, it caused severe wound infection. Later he was sick for a very long time, and almost lost more than half his life.
Look at him now, his physical condition is much better!”
005 tried hard to comfort Mo Yi. In fact, just now after a simple scan, he already knew that Bai Ren’s legs had actually been successfully operated on.
But the other side insisted that his legs were broken, and even if he wanted to remind his own host, he did not dare make a sound!
What if, when some certain memory awakened and became clear, he found out that it was him who had tipped him off, and then kicked him off to work together with 000, what would he do!
This guy was a demon king, not at all like White Su, gentle and reasonable…
He silently apologized to Mo Yi in his heart. In any case, Bai Ren would definitely not harm him. Not only would he not harm him, he would also treat him very, very well.
He believed that his adorable host would definitely forgive him in the future, even after learning the truth!
005 successfully convinced himself in his heart, and his encouragement obviously also took effect.
Hearing that Bai Ren’s condition was much better than in the deduction, Mo Yi finally pulled himself together, raised his head, and seriously promised the man, “Bai Ren, I will take good care of you! From now on, I will be your legs!”
Hearing Mo Yi’s words, Bai Ren froze for a moment. Just now, when he saw the boy’s mood drop, he had felt uncomfortable in his heart. Although this kind of emotion was also rare for him, he still did not plan to soften his heart because of it and tell the truth.
But somehow, the other side quickly pulled himself together again, and even said he would take care of him.
This was quite an unexpected delight!
