Ye Wei was taken aback. “Cut your hair?”
“I’ll still lose it, after all, so might as well cut them first,” Eleven plainly said. When she woke up every day, she could not stand all the hair on the bed.
“How about you shave your head?”
“Sure!”
“It’s fine. It will all grow back, after all. Old Witch said that cells that are dead can live again.” Ye Wei was half-knowing, and she did not know whether she was right. She could not quite bear to cut off all that beautiful hair.
Ye Wei’s third operation occurred about the same time as Eleven’s second treatment. Ye Wei, following this operation, would be completely okay. With some rehabilitation, she would be able to walk in less than a month’s time. With half a year of rehabilitation, she would almost be like before with no issues. Even though Ye Wei was happy, she was still worried about Eleven.
Eleven seemed to be in a worse condition than before. The detoxification process was too arduous, and the pain she suffered before was less than a tenth of what she currently suffered. Whenever she saw Eleven, her heart really ached. Any consolations seemed feeble. She wished she could endure the pain together with Eleven.
Following the second round of treatment, Eleven became even skinnier to the point she was skin draped over bones. It was so heart-rending, and Mo Ye’s heart ached to the point he wished he could kill himself.
These days were agonizing to him. He knew Eleven’s pain, and he also knew what Eleven was quietly enduring, along with why Eleven did not want to see him. It was because of these reasons that he felt terrible too.
Not wanting to vex her and in order to minimize her discomfort, he would rather bear all his pain by himself by living in his own agony daily. If history would repeat itself, he would rather kill himself than treat Eleven in this way.
His Eleven…
He stroked her very pronounced cheekbones. Her skin was no longer tender. His heart wrenched as though it were wrapped in steel wire that tightened and suddenly shattered his heart.
Old Witch injected Eleven with sedatives and painkillers, and she was now in a very deep sleep. Old Witch got the dosages correct. Otherwise, Eleven would not be able to sleep. It was only after so much medication that she was barely able to fall into such a deep sleep.
He really regretted it…
As Mo Ye planted his face against her hands, his warm tears ran down his eyes, searing her skin.
People said that men did not easily shed tears, but that’s only because they did not bring up painful memories.
His heart utterly ached!
When Eleven woke up, Mo Ye had left the room and Ye Wei was watching after her. Ye Wei’s leg had completely recovered, and she was able to walk although she could not fight as and when she wanted to.
“Did Mo Ye come by?” Ye Wei was injecting some medicine into Eleven when Eleven suddenly asked.
“Nope, he didn’t. You must be dreaming. Big Boss Mo was always watching over you from outside. You don’t want to see him, and he didn’t see you either.” Ye Wei smiled. Eleven saw the back of her hand, and the skin on her hand was so wrinkled it no longer looked good. She seemingly felt that he had cried into her hands, and she felt a warmth on her lips as though he had kissed her. She shook her head. She must have been dreaming.
She really did not want Mo Ye to see her in her wretched state.
Most girls wanted to present their most beautiful side to the person they loved and did not want them to see how old and wrinkled they were. She did not realize that she was as conscious of her looks.
Ye Wei smiled and accompanied her in a gentle conversation. Since Eleven was not sleeping anytime soon, Ye Wei accompanied Eleven and talked to her until Eleven fell into a deep sleep.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year passed.
Ye Wei’s leg was completely healed, and Rong Yan was ten months into her pregnancy. Bai Ye confirmed that Rong Yan had a boy, and Chu Li was so elated that he whizzed between Riyadh and London daily as though he were a superman.
Fang Ying’s incident had reached an end too. Mo Ye confirmed that Fang Ying had initially sold the Top Terrorist Organization out, and Chen Yang, in his lust, had made a mistake. Mo Ye happened to have leverage on Chen Yang, who revealed information about the Top Terrorist Organization to Mo Ye. Thankfully, the Mo brothers did not take on the Top Terrorist Organization since conditions for them to take action against the Top Terrorist Organization had yet to form.
Chu Li flew into a rage and excommunicated Fang Ying and Chen Yang from the Top Terrorist Organization. Their whereabouts were unknown, and that was a few months ago. While Chu Li wanted Rong Yan to return to London once everything had ended, Ye Wei’s leg had yet to recover and Eleven was in such suffering, and Rong Yan wanted to accompany them and thus insisted on remaining in Riyadh. She remained in Riyadh until she was about to deliver her child.
Despite feeling helpless and worried about Rong Yan, Chu Li was excited because it was his first time being a father. As he could not wait to spend time with Rong Yan’s child, he could only commute by plane daily, which he was more than willing to do.
While the virus in Eleven’s body was almost eliminated, her tissues and organs were utterly devastated and her body would take a long time to be in good shape. Su Ruyu and Su Man had no choice but to gradually rehabilitate Eleven.
After three blood tests, they were certain that Eleven had regained her original constitution.
In this half a year, Mo Ye and Eleven had several tiffs that largely stemmed from Eleven’s body condition that affected her emotions. Their tiffs were so serious to the point Eleven became so weary from them, but Mo Ye accommodated her temper all the way and did not retaliate in any way. The pain wore on her for a long time, and it took a toll on her body, chipping at her willpower.
Thankfully, Eleven and Mo Ye endured it and her emotions started to calm down. Mo Ye kept taking care of her regardless. Su Ruyu told him that her recovery would be gradual and could not be hastened. As long as she was fine, her body could take all the time it needed to recuperate. As Mo Ye treated Eleven like a princess, she could not help but recall the times she did not treat him well in the past half a year and felt extremely bad. The two of them took a while to mesh before their relationship returned to normalcy.
While Eleven was still recuperating, Ye Wei’s leg had completely recovered. Ye Wei received a call from Third Young Master Ye about how Little Hailan was celebrating her first birthday. He asked whether she would be able to travel to City A. Ye Wei was extremely overjoyed and remained in contact with Third Young Master Ye over the internet. Considering she had never seen them in person, she planned to head to City A. When Cheng Anya heard that Rong Yan was about to deliver and that Eleven would not be able to leave, she felt that Ye Wei would be lonely if she came by herself. Ye Wei instead suggested that their family come over instead since they had never traveled in the past year.
Third Young Master Ye graciously agreed.
