1698 Give You a Gift
This is chapter 1697, the chapter number is wrong
When the eldest prince's adjutant woke up in the hospital, it was already four days later.
When he opened his eyes, he was a little confused at first. His first thoughts were not "where am I", "who am I" and "what am I going to do".
His first thought was "It's getting late, I have to get up and work", a very simple thought.
The moment he made the move to stand up, the severe pain caused him to tremble and fall back to the bed. The pain gradually made him think of something.
He thought that he had just come out of the chemical store, and the sound of brakes in his ears made the hairs on his body stand up, and then...
He was hit by a speeding train and flew out!
He even swore a curse word while spinning in the air before landing, and then there was endless darkness!
His screams alerted the nurse.
A nurse came in, took a look, and quickly notified the doctor.
Because the patient's identity was very special, the hospital also attached great importance to it, and soon the doctors gathered here.
After giving the patient a simple diagnosis, they confirmed that he had basically recovered.
"When can I be discharged?" The adjutant, who was lying on the bed and letting these doctors examine him, quickly calmed down.
Regardless of whether the car accident was a conspiracy, at least he is fine now and feels pretty good about himself. This is the luckiest thing among all the unlucky things!
He went through the worst, but got a not-so-bad ending, so what's there to complain about?
The doctors looked at each other for a moment and remained silent, which made the adjutant's expression change slightly, "Is there anything else?"
A younger doctor pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said softly, "You are still recovering. We have just completed the amputation surgery on you. We will have to observe you for at least half a month before you can be discharged."
"Judging from what we have checked so far, the wound is recovering well, and you..."
The adjutant couldn't hear clearly what he said next. When he heard that he had undergone amputation, his mind was buzzing!
The muscles on his face stiffened and trembled, "Are you kidding me? Am I not a good person?"
He didn't feel there was anything wrong with him. He looked at his hands, touched his body, and even wanted to lift his legs...
Where are the legs?
His expression became extremely frightened at this moment, and he suddenly opened the quilt. There were not two hairy legs under the quilt, the legs were gone!
One leg was cut off from the middle of the thigh, and the other leg was cut off from the knee, leaving only white gauze.
During his coma, nurses would change his dressing and gauze every day.
Considering that the hot weather might inflame his wounds, the air conditioner in this room was turned on very low.
The low temperature and covering up with a quilt may seem like a waste of work, but this is not the case.
Lowering the ambient temperature can reduce the activity of many germs. Perhaps this method cannot prevent the occurrence of infection, but it can significantly reduce the possibility of infection.
It was obviously very cold in the room, but he still broke out in a sweat!
"I can obviously feel my legs..." He touched the air, as if looking for the legs that had been cut off.
The doctor explained to him very considerately, "The first thing most amputee patients have to face during the recovery period is to get used to who they are now."
"Everyone has the illusion that their limbs are still there. We all know that it is an illusion, so we have to overcome it!"
"You also saw that your legs are gone. What you feel are just some hallucinations caused by the brain and nerves. You need to accept these facts!"
Doctors then told him why he needed an amputation.
The large truck braked before hitting him, but the force of the brakes removed most of the flesh and blood from both of his legs and seriously injured the bones.
If the truck hadn't braked and instead rolled over him quickly, he might have suffered a severe fracture.
An injury like that is still troublesome, but there is still hope of standing up!
Unlike now, the calf of the left leg and the middle of the right leg below the thigh were all shattered and degloved. It was impossible to save them with the current federal medical standards.
After listening to these adjutants, they were all stunned!
He is the adjutant of the eldest prince. If the eldest prince can become the emperor in the future, he will most likely become the palace internal affairs manager or something like that.
This is a very prominent status. Maybe it is not as dazzling as the princes and ministers in official positions, but its role and value are no worse than that of the Prime Minister!
But such a brilliant future was completely destroyed in a car accident. He couldn't accept this at all!
The doctor gave a few instructions, but he didn't listen to anything and just kept in a daze.
He knew he was doomed.
The Pengeo Empire was a fanatical empire. Under its fanaticism, it actually had a cruel social status quo.
People have no sympathy for the weak, they even despise the weak.
People like him are the ones who are abandoned.
Even if he returns to Pengeo, his family will abandon him and the eldest prince will abandon him.
Who would use a disabled person to do important work?
Career, family, and future were shattered in an instant just like the dream before waking up!
There is a saying, "You can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep by shouting." It probably means that no matter how loud your voice is, or even with physical contact, you can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.
Because he will keep pretending. This is a decision made by his conscious will.
In fact, this sentence is not entirely true. As long as you stare at him long enough, hunger and thirst will wake him up!
In the afternoon, Mr. Adjutant finally came out of his daze. He found the nurse, drank some water, and asked for some food.
Now that things have happened, the only thing he can do is to solve some problems that may affect him as soon as possible.
When he became rational, the first thing he considered was how to save his life.
The eldest prince won't use him, but he certainly won't want others to use him, because he knows many things, many things that cannot be leaked.
Nothing is more in line with the interests of the eldest prince than a dead and disabled person, but he is just disabled and he doesn't want to die yet.
He thought about it all afternoon, but couldn't think of any good way to solve the crisis at hand.
During dinner, the nurse came in with a strange expression and a beautiful box.
She didn't know what to say, because the contents of this box were... not very friendly.
The eldest prince's adjutant didn't know it. After accepting the reality, he became at least a lot more easy-going.
"What's that?", he asked.
The nurse put the box on the cabinet next to the bed, "This is a gift from someone. I said you must receive it in person..."
The adjutant was a little curious, "What is it?"
"A prosthetic limb..."
His left leg was only amputated at the knee. He can also install a prosthetic leg and try to walk with crutches.
That would make him walk even weirder, but at least he could walk.
But this kind of thing, this kind of thing, can only be requested by yourself. How can anyone else take the initiative to give it to you?
It's like someone is sick, the illness is unclear, and someone brings a coffin before the person dies. This is not a good sign. The person who sent this thing just wants to disgust him!
His expression became extremely ugly in an instant, and the nurse did not dare to stay longer. She put down her things and left.
The adjutant looked at the beautifully packaged prosthetic leg for a long time and finally decided to take it apart.
He wanted to know who sent it!
When he opened the exquisite outer packaging and saw the equally high-end and exquisite prosthetic leg inside, he couldn't help but touch the surface of the prosthetic leg.
He was a little surprised, it was ivory.
In fact, although ivory during this period was not particularly valuable in general, it was definitely not cheap either.
There are still many areas in the world where there are herds of elephants, and there are many tusks running around on the savannah!
With excellent workmanship and various exquisite fasteners, this is definitely not a cheap prosthetic leg. An ivory prosthetic limb. How much is it worth?
Tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands?
The adjutant didn't know. He picked up the card in the box and there was a line of handwritten words on it.
"To Mr...., your friend Lynch!"
He was stunned for a moment, and then a special emotion made his scalp tingle!
The amputation site began to hurt again, and he even felt his legs returning to his body again!
When mood swings are severe, the phantom limb phenomenon will be more serious.
It's Lynch!
Lynch did everything!
He thought about the things he had arranged before, the attack on Lynch.
They attacked Lynch with a van, and now Lynch attacks himself with a van!
Yes, he was taking revenge on himself. He even felt that he only lost his legs instead of his life. It was all arranged by Lynch!
Hysterical shouting came from the ward, and doctors and nurses rushed in immediately and pushed the sedative into the infusion bottle.
Soon, the adjutant fell into sleep...
What happened in the hospital was truthfully reported to His Highness the First Prince, and His Highness the First Prince could only respond silently to these matters.
He knew very well that he was the person Lynch wanted to deal with.
But because of his special status, Lynch can't touch him now, so he can only start with the people around him.
Now he is his adjutant, but what about next?
These people were retaliated against because of his decision.
However, His Highness the First Prince has no sense of guilt. As the heir to an empire, he may become the emperor's prince.
His mind and reason are much colder than people can imagine.
Even at this time, he was thinking about a question, why didn't Lynch just kill him?
It is very difficult for the eldest prince to be left disabled!
