Chapter 213 Amputation
“It&r squo;s a long story. Take us to the hospital first!”
Shirley looked at Braden’s severely injured leg and couldn’t be bothered to explain anything to
Ewan.
“Okay!”
Ewan nodded. He endured the hatred in his heart and carried the unconscious Braden into the car.
Ewan sped all the way down to the nearby hospital. He held Shirley off the car and shouted anxiously
towards the emergency center, “Doctor, help!”
Shirley looked back at Braden in the car and grabbed Ewan’s arm. “His condition is much more serious
than mine. Take care of him first!”
Ewan had always been obedient to Shirley, but this time, he didn’t listen to her and rushed to the
emergency center.
He lowered his head and said, “Shirley, I love you and respect you, but don’t forget that I am also a man.
I am not as generous as you think. I have done my best to send him to the hospital. I can’t do
more!”
Shirley was pushed into the operating room at the first moment and was given emergency
treatment.
Her brain was damaged, and her right leg was comminuted. Although her life was not in danger, she still
had to do twenty–four hours of surveillance to eliminate other risks.
Therefore, it was not until a day later that Shirley transferred from the monitoring room to the ordinary
ward and was able to get in touch with the outside world.
Her leg was covered with plaster, and she was pinned to the bed, unable to move.
“Shirley, how do you feel? Are you hungry? You haven’t eaten all day. Have some food first.” Ewan

Shirley had been starving, but she wasn’t in the mood to eat. She grabbed Ewan’s arm and asked
nervously, “How is Braden? Is his leg alright?”
Ewan’s face darkened as he avoided the topic.
He took a spoonful of porridge and blew on it. Then he coaxed in a spoiled tone, “Shirley, I bring you
some porridge. It’s good for your healing. Take a few sips while it’s hot.”
Shirley pushed it away and insisted on knowing about Braden’s condition. “Tell me. How is he? I
can only eat at ease when I’m sure he’s safe.”
“It’s been four years, and you still can’t let go of him, can you?”
Ewan coldly put the spoon on the plate. His handsome face was gloomy and showed sadness. He said
softly, “Even though I have been by your side for so many years and am willing to do anything for you,
even putting the future of the entire Parker family at the risk, I still could not replace his position in your
heart, right?”
“Ewan, don’t be like this. You know that’s not what I meant. I just…”
“I can’t stand this anymore. I am not your pet. The two of us are going to get married. Do you think we
can become husband and wife in our current state?”
Ewan gazed into Shirley’s eyes. His eyes were filled with deep affection.
He had wanted to ask Shirley this question a long time ago, but he knew very well that even if he did, it
would only bring humiliation.
He thought that in four years, he could move Shirley and make her forget Braden.
But who would have thought that she was entangled with that man again just after she returned?
How could he not care?
“Braden is a bastard. He hurt you badly. Why can’t you forget him? Is he that good?”
Ewan could not help but ask Shirley excitedly.
Shirley understood Ewan’s rage. She was not angry. Instead, she calmly looked at him. “Then do you
know why I care so much about him?”
“What else could it be? You can’t let go of him! You still love him!”
Ewan turned around. He was unhappy, like a child throwing a tantrum.
“It’s because he endured the pain in his injured leg and carried me from the bottom of the slope to
the road. If anything happens to him, I won’t be able to repay this favor for the rest of my life. I was
afraid that I would be entangled with him all my life, so I asked you how he is now. Do you
understand?”
Shirley explained to Ewan patiently.
“What? He… He carried you up?”
Ewan turned around, and his eyes widened. “I don’t believe it. His leg is injured to such an extent that he
can’t even walk. How could he carry you all the way up? It can’t be true!”
“I didn’t believe it at first. That person is cold, heartless, and selfish. But that’s the truth. If not for him, I
would still be lying at the bottom of the slope. In that case, I’m afraid I would have died of pain or have
starved to death…”
When Shirley recalled the scene of Braden carrying her up the slope step by step in the dark, she still felt
like she was in a dream.
Even close relatives might not be able to do that with such unbearable pain, let alone Braden who had
always wanted her dead!
“How is it possible? His leg is injured like that. There is no way he can do that!”
Ewan shook his head constantly, unable to accept the fact.
Ewan knew better than Shirley how serious Braden’s leg injury was. It was impossible for a human with
mortal flesh to withstand that kind of pain!
“So, can you tell me now how his condition is? How is his leg…?”
Shirley asked again.
Ewan’s reactions made her have a bad feeling.

Ewan took a deep breath and finally confessed, “He’s still in the operation. The doctors said that his
situation was very complicated and they had already set up an expert team. There is no decision at the
moment of whether to take the conservative treatment or the risky treatment.”
Shirley’s face darkened, and she immediately asked, “What is the conservative treatment, and what is
the risky treatment?”
“The conservative treatment is to first preserve his leg, and then proceed with other treatments.
However, his condition is too serious with lots of fractures on his leg and some tissue necrosis,
resulting in a lack of blood flow. If he doesn’t have amputation in time, causing his entire body to be
infected, it might endanger his life…”
“What?”
Shirley felt her mind go blank and she was unable to think.

She did not expect that a small accident would cause such a big consequence.
Fractures on the leg!
Tissue necrosis!
A lack of blood flow!
Amputation!
Every word Ewan said was like a bullet that pierced her heart.
“He must have been injured so badly because of carrying me for too long. Take me to see him.
Hurry up! Take me to see him!”
Shirley grabbed Ewan’s hand and pleaded with tears.
Seeing her like this made Ewan extremely sad.
“Don’t blame yourself. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I didn’t send him to the rescue
immediately. If he is amputated, I will compensate him with my leg!”
