Chapter 86: Help Me, Let Me Die
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Why did you save me? It would be better to let me die rather than live like this in the future.”
A voice choked with sobs echoed, “Xiaohan, don’t say that…” “Get out, all of you, I don’t want to see you…”
Lu Miao stepped forward and knocked on the door of the ward.
The voice inside the ward paused for a moment, and then footsteps could be heard.
A woman in her thirties, with reddened eyes, opened the door upon seeing Lu
Miao in her school uniform. “Are you a classmate of Xiaohan?”
Upon realizing that she had come to visit Shen Muhuan, the woman hurriedly invited her inside.
In the hospital room, Shen Muhuan lay on the bed with a neck brace and several bandages visible on his exposed arm. His face had several bloody bruises, presenting a miserable sight.
Upon seeing Lu Miao, his heart, filled with despair, irritation, and anger, instantly calmed down.
He instinctively wanted to hide, not wanting her to see his pitiful state, but at the moment, he couldn’t move except for his eyes.
With red-rimmed eyes, he choked and softly called out, “Boss.”
When Mrs. Shen, who was standing at the side, heard her son’s weak and helpless voice, the tears that had just stopped fell again.
Mr Shen looked at Lu Miao in surprise and carefully sized her up.
After the third year of high school started, Shen Muhan would frequently mention his boss when he got home. In his words, his boss was omnipotent and the best in the universe.
He had always thought that the person who could make his proud son convinced and call him boss every day was a tall and strong boy. He did not expect it to be such a weak little girl.
Lu Miao turned her head.” Mr Shen, Mrs. Shen, can I talk to Shen Muhan alone?”
“Of course, you can.”
Mrs. Shen hurriedly wiped her tears and nodded.
Since waking up, Shen Muhuan had been in a state of extreme despair, with the sole desire to end his life. Mrs. Shen had no doubt that if he had full control of his body, he would have taken that path immediately.
She only had this one son. Seeing him like this, her heart ached so much that it was about to break.
It would be good to have a classmate who could comfort him.
She turned around and dragged Mr Shen out of the ward.
The ward door closed.
On the bed, Shen Muhan closed his eyes as if he was avoiding her.” Boss, you should leave. From now on, I’m a cripple. It’s not worth your time to waste on me.”
Lu Miao clicked her tongue and walked to the bed. She bent her fingers and knocked on his head.
“Did I allow you to call me Boss and follow me because I wanted to get something from you?”
Shen Muhan had been holding back his tears in front of his parents, but now, in front of Lu Miao, he could no longer hold back his tears.
He opened his eyes and looked at her.” But I can’t do anything in the future, and I can’t continue to follow Boss. I can only lie on the bed like a piece of trash and be taken care of for the rest of my life. I can’t even do the most basic things like eating and going to the bathroom. Boss, I don’t want this to happen. I really don’t want this to happen. Help me, let me die.”
In that moment when he learned about his complete paralysis, he completely broke down.
But what made him even more devastated was the fact that he couldn’t even
end his own life.
“Shut up, I don’t have such a useless disciple.”
Lu Miao raised her hand and tapped her throbbing forehead. Taking a step forward, she extended her hand and pushed him to the side, causing him to lie in a sideways position, exposing the back of his neck.
Disciple?
Shen Muhuan, who had been on the verge of a mental breakdown just a second ago, was instantly stunned.
He had been calling him boss for so long, but Lu Miao had never accepted him as a disciple.
Although he felt some regret, he was already content to be her little brother.
Does this mean…
“Old…Boss, you agreed to take me as your disciple?”
Shen Muhan stuttered in excitement. He wanted to turn around and look at Lu Miao, but he could not move at all. When he realized his current situation, his expression became dejected again.
Lu Miao didn’t say anything. She carefully removed the retainer on his neck, then gently pressed on the back of his neck and spine. She fixed the fixator again and turned him over to lie flat.
“Don’t worry, you won’t be paralyzed.”
“However, the specialist consultation has already said that there is a 95% chance that I will be paralyzed. “Shen Muhan whispered.
“Do you believe me?” Lu Miao didn’t bother explaining to him and asked directly.
Shen Muhan replied without hesitation,” Of course, I trust Boss unconditionally, but…”
However, this time was different. He could clearly feel that he had completely lost control of his body.
Even the feeling of his body was gradually fading away.
This wasn’t a matter of whether or not he believed she could solve it.
“Since you believe in me, there are no ‘buts.’ If I say you can recover, then you will,” Lu Miao stated firmly, disallowing any questioning.
Shen Muhan listened to her firm words and his panicked heart suddenly calmed down.
He said heavily,” Alright, I believe you!”
If Boss said he could recover, then he definitely could!
His mood also became better. Thinking of Lu Miao’s words just now, he hurriedly said, ”
“Boss, Boss, we agreed that you would take me as your disciple. You can’t go back on your word.”
Lu Miao raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t you want me to help you die?” “Hehe, I was just impulsive at the time.”
Shen Muhuan was overjoyed that Leader had finally accepted him as her disciple. He was so happy that he hadn’t even considered the thought of death.
Now that she knew Shen Muhuan’s condition and the Shens were waiting outside, Lu Miao didn’t linger.
“Remember, don’t let your imagination run wild, take good care of your body, wait for a few days, I’ll come back to see you.”
“Alright.” Shen Muhan replied.
Lu Miao opened the door of the ward and left after greeting Mr Shen and Mrs. Shen.
The two of them returned to the ward.
Mrs. Shen had been worried about how to console Shen Muhuan, but upon entering the ward, she saw a smile on his face.
Oh no, could this child have gone mad?
Mrs. Shen quickly went forward and asked with concern,” Xiao Han, you…” Are you okay”‘
“Mom, don’t worry. I’m fine. My boss said that this is just a small problem and I will definitely recover.”
When Shen Muhan mentioned Lu Miao, his face was full of pride and confidence.
Since the experts had already come to a conclusion, Mrs. Shen thought that Lu Miao was just trying to calm Shen Muhan down by saying that to comfort him. She nodded and did not think too much about it.
Anyway, his family was not short of money, and he did not need his son to earn money in the future.
Even if it was just to give him false hope, as long as her son was happy, she would be satisfied..
