Chapter 591 - Appear
Two days later, Li Huowang finally opened his eyes once again. Sun Xiaoqin wanted to wheel him into the bathroom, but he refused and washed himself.
He was extremely weak, but he tried his best and ended up spending half a day just washing himself.
Sun Xiaoqin was waiting for him when he got out of the bathroom.
Li Huowang's hands were quivering as he grabbed the chopsticks to eat the soup dumplings that Sun Xiaoqin had made for him.
“Eat more. You have to eat more if you want to grow stronger. Anyway, what do you think about going for physiotherapy after all this? Does that sound good to you?”
“Mmhm.” Li Huowang nodded with his cheeks stuffed with soup dumplings. He was too weak; he needed to recover to the extent that he could walk by himself as soon as possible.
If he were to face off against a Strayed One’s version of himself, he'd probably die with just a flick of a finger.
After breakfast, Li Huowang went for physiotherapy. He grabbed the rail firmly and exhausted himself just to move a tiny bit.
It was a feat easily achievable by ordinary people, but it was exceedingly difficult for Li Huowang. Soon, he started sweating bullets, and he felt abnormally sore.
Thankfully, he had long gotten used to such pain, so the thought of giving up never popped up in his mind.
After several sessions, Li Huowang laid down on his bed while breathing in ragged pants.
His limbs were twitching; this was a sign that he was recovering.
Sun Xiaoqin massaged his sore muscles to prevent the buildup of lactic acid. Otherwise, his muscles would become even more sore tomorrow.
Sun Xiaoqin had no issues massaging Li Huowang, as she had been doing so every day to ensure that Li Huowang's muscles wouldn't waste away at a fast rate.
“Don’t give up, son! We'll work together for your treatment. Once you can be discharged, we'll transfer you to another hospital. To be honest, this place feels more like a prison than a hospital.”
“Why won't we go back home? I still have to go to another hospital?” Li Huowang asked with a frown.
“We can’t go home so soon. Don’t worry. Once you're completely cured... I mean, once the doctors are sure that you're cured, then you can go home.” Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
“What a hassle.”
“Hohoho~” Sun Xiaoqin thought of it otherwise. Her son's treatment was far more important to her than anything.
“Where are you going?” asked Little Liu as he stood up immediately, along with the other guard.
“Where else? I'm going to the toilet.”
“We'll go with you.”
The two guards escorted Li Huowang to the toilet.
This wasn't Li Huowang's first time in the corridor's toilet. The guards stood outside while Li Huowang relieved himself slowly as if he was waiting for something.
“Li Huowang, I think there's something wrong with your kidneys. Why else would you have to use the toilet for so long and every day at that?”
“You should worry about yourself. For your information, I have a girlfriend.”
“Fuck off.”
Li Huowang washed his hands and saw an old man carrying a trash bag entering the toilet. Li Huowang looked up at the mirror and saw that the old man was wearing a cap and a mask.
Li Huowang turned around and was about to leave when he was struck by that bizarre sensation once again. His figure tensed up as he stared at the reflection of the old man cleaning the toilet.
Sensing his gaze, the old man looked up and saw Li Huowang’s eyes through the mirror, but he quickly lowered his head.
It was brief, but Li Huowang recognized the old man through the latter's gaze. The old man was Wang Wei!
“Guys, I need some more time. I've got to dump.”
“Hurry up. Do you have any tissues?” Little Liu asked. He didn't seem to have sensed anything wrong, and it was all because Li Huowang's tone of voice didn't sound off at all.
Moreover, Doctor Yi had told them that Li Huowang’s episodes would always start with ramblings, so it wasn't that difficult to know that Li Huowang was in the middle of an episode.
Li Huowang stared deeply at the door before walking slowly toward Wang Wei.
“What are you doing here?” Li Huowang asked.
Wang Wei was his previous doctor, and he could still remember the fact that Wang Wei had lost his mind for some reason.
Wang Wei's right hand reached out and grabbed Li Huowang’s wrist. His voice was low, but the trembling in his voice spoke volumes of his tumultuous emotions. “I know! That side is real! I know it's real!"
Wang Wei’s pupils were quivering violently, and he looked like a patient having a manic episode.
