Chapter 129: I Love Him, I Never Gave Up

~7 min read 1,392 words

Brown liquid spilled onto the table, instantly creating a mess.

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang were both startled and hurriedly pulled out tissues.

Liu Xin'ai also snapped back to her senses and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I just now..."

As she spoke, her tone couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if she were trying hard to suppress something.

Jiang Baobao looked at her thoughtfully, and an idea gradually emerged in her mind.

Why did she feel that Liu Xin'ai still had feelings for her uncle?

She had wanted to ask about the situation between the two of them since just a moment ago.

But she was afraid of making Liu Xin'ai uncomfortable.

Because even if Liu Xin'ai had left her uncle because of his illness, she herself had no standing to condemn anything.

But...

The relationship between the two of them used to be so good!

Even if her uncle was mentally confused later on, had she never once thought about curing him?

Jiang Baobao thought this, unable to help but knit her brows, pondered for two seconds, and still couldn't help but ask: "Xinaijie, you and my uncle... broke off the engagement a long time ago, right?"

As soon as these words were out, Cai Xiaotang, who had been quiet for a long time, immediately showed a look of surprise.

There was actually this layer of connection?

Jiang Baobao's uncle and Doctor Liu were once engaged?

She was suddenly full of curiosity, but she tactfully didn't say anything.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xin'ai was suddenly stunned; she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her eyes turned red before she could react.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly explained: "Xinaijie, I don't mean to blame you for anything. Uncle is sick to that extent... it's only natural that you would make such a choice. I just want to know what exactly happened back then. You are a brain specialist; is there really no way to treat his illness?"

Liu Xin'ai shook her head with red-rimmed eyes.

She tried hard to calm her emotions, but she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes, and she said softly: "It wasn't me who gave up on your uncle; I have never given up on him..."

"Then you two..." Jiang Baobao's heart was suddenly moved, her expression somewhat puzzled.

Liu Xin'ai was silent for two seconds, a look of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"Ever since your uncle had his accident, my father forced me to break off the engagement. I... I had no choice at the time, I could only agree... Later, I wanted to take your uncle out to get treatment, but your aunt and the others refused to let me see him."

A trace of hatred flashed in Liu Xin'ai's eyes: "I am a brain doctor! How could I watch the person I love turn into this! I have worked hard to study for so many years just so that one day I could cure him!"

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang subconsciously looked at each other, their eyes filled with the same anger.

It was Xia Huiya and her family again!

It was them who delayed the best time for her uncle's treatment!

Jiang Baobao suppressed the anger in her heart and hurriedly asked: "Xinaijie, are you confident you can cure my uncle?"

Liu Xin'ai hesitated for two seconds and shook her head: "I don't know yet. I haven't had the chance to come into contact with him, so I don't know his specific condition. I only know that he seems to be somewhat crazy..."

As she spoke, a trace of anger rippled across her gentle face: "I had guessed before that he might be harassed by your aunt's family, but I didn't expect... didn't expect that they would actually make him live in the Flower Room! They were doing it to imprison him!"

"Imprison?"

Jiang Baobao was shocked by her choice of words.

"Yes." Liu Xin'ai nodded.

She looked at Jiang Baobao with a serious expression and suddenly asked: "Baobao, although it's a bit presumptuous to ask, but... do you really want to cure your uncle?"

"Yes, of course I want to cure him. Xia Huiya and the others don't deserve to live there at all!" Jiang Baobao answered without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xin'ai was somewhat moved.

She thought for a moment, then suddenly lowered her voice and said: "Regarding your uncle's condition, I felt something was wrong before. I tried to rescue him several times, but... I was stopped by people in my family. My father even got so angry that his health failed, his heart disease recurred, and he was admitted to the Hospital. Since then... I haven't dared to go near the Jiang Family again..."

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She never expected that things would be like this.

So Xinaijie had never given up on her uncle and had been thinking about him all along...

Jiang Baobao came back to her senses and hurriedly pressed: "You just said there was something wrong with my uncle's condition; what was it?"

Liu Xin'ai subconsciously scanned her surroundings.

Only then did she say in an even lower voice: "I have been doing research in this area; the cause of your uncle's illness is very strange."

"What do you mean?" Cai Xiaotang also asked, looking puzzled.

Liu Xin'ai frowned slightly, as if she were thinking about how to explain it.

After weighing her words, she explained: "Generally speaking, if it's a brain injury caused by a car accident, if it's very serious, it might result in a vegetative state where they never wake up, or it might affect their intelligence, causing their thoughts and behavior to regress, or it might cause physical disability. But your uncle... he became crazy. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Ah? What do you mean?" Cai Xiaotang didn't understand and subconsciously asked back.

Jiang Baobao didn't speak, carefully pondering Liu Xin'ai's words just now.

Car accident... crazy...

She thought about these two terms in her mind and suddenly perceived something keenly.

"Xiao Tang! I understand!"

Jiang Baobao grabbed Cai Xiaotang's hand and asked: "If a person goes crazy, what do you think the reason would be?"

"That must be because they received some major shock!" Cai Xiaotang answered without hesitation.

After she finished speaking, she herself suddenly reacted and looked at Jiang Baobao and Liu Xin'ai in disbelief: "That's right! How could a car accident make someone go crazy? It's not like he saw a ghost in the car, right?"

Liu Xin'ai nodded and said in a low voice: "That's exactly what I mean. A car accident and going crazy—neither of these terms is problematic when looked at separately, but a car accident leading to someone going crazy feels very strange no matter how you think about it. Moreover, that car accident was very serious at the time; it is said that the entire front of the car was completely deformed, yet he only suffered minor injuries, and there were no obvious external wounds on his head. Yet, after waking up, he became crazy and foolish..."

Jiang Baobao's expression gradually became grave.

If it was really as Xinaijie said, then that car accident back then must have had a problem! Even her uncle's medicine might have a problem!

Jiang Baobao clenched her fists tightly, and in her ears, she heard Liu Xin'ai say: "I only have a bold guess, but I have no way to confirm it. What his specific situation is, I would only know after performing a detailed examination. But if I can't get him out..."

"I can." Jiang Baobao suddenly interrupted her, her tone firm.

Liu Xin'ai raised her eyes in surprise to look at her.

Jiang Baobao repeated again, "I can find a way to get the uncle out."

"Really?" Liu Xin'ai's expression instantly turned to one of pleasant surprise; she grabbed Jiang Baobao's hand and said loudly, "As long as you can get him out! I will immediately arrange an examination for him!"

No sooner had her voice fallen than tears rolled down unexpectedly.

Jiang Baobao's heart trembled violently, and a flash of determination crossed her eyes.

Xinaijie has always loved the uncle!

She will definitely find a way to cure the uncle and let them be together at last!
