Chapter 1002 If your back doesn't work, then do it down there.

"Since you are Aunt Green's friend, there's no need to discuss consultation fees."

Shen Lu added, "Besides, this is just Director Lin asking me to try using traditional Chinese medicine on you."

How has your back been feeling these past couple of days?

Shen Lu naturally moved on to the next topic.

This guy clearly has a close relationship with Aunt Green; he might even become her uncle in the future. It's worth a try, even if it's free.

However, if the patient requires long-term treatment, she will charge a fee.

"I feel much better, especially that day. I hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time."

Originally, I didn't want Pang Luzhi to know these things.

But when Shen Lu asked, he still answered.

Pang Luzhi frowned, not expecting Lin Chong's back injury to be so serious.

Does not having a good night's sleep in a long time mean he's been in pain?

"what about now?"

Lin Chong's smile froze for a moment: "I've been quite busy with work these past few days, so..."

"Your back pain has flared up again?" Shen Lu interrupted him.

Pang Lüzhi looked at Lin Chong disapprovingly from the side.

With such a severe back injury, why are you still busy working? Do you want to be bedridden when you're old?

Shen Lu also said with a serious expression: "Mr. Lin, Director Lin must have told you that your back injury could very well lead to paralysis in the end."

"If you don't rest properly and cooperate with the treatment, we can't say how long you can hold on."

Shen Lu's words contained no element of intimidation.

She also disapproved of patients like Lin Chong who didn't take their health seriously.

However, Lin Chong's identity and the nature of his work are special.

Even if he wanted to rest, he couldn't.

Unless, of course, he's willing to transfer directly to the elderly care department and take a sinecure.

But would Lin Chong be willing?

At his current age, he's at the peak of his career, and it's impossible for him to give it up.

He was willing to give up Pang Lüzhi, but he didn't give up his job, did he?

This is Shen Lu's guess.

After all, the atmosphere between Pang Lüzhi and Lin Chong was strange.

“I want to cooperate, but there are many times when it comes to work that I can’t do anything about.”

If Lin Chong is an irresponsible person, he can neglect his work.

But he happens to be a very responsible leader.

"With your condition, even the best doctor cannot cure your illness."

"When you injured your back, the medical conditions were not very good, so the surgery was not handled well and the treatment was delayed."

"That's what caused your back pain as a lingering symptom."

"But this is also related to your lack of attention to rest and recuperation later on."

Shen Lu thought of a saying—"Good words are hard to persuade a damned person."

Lin Chong himself was aware of the problem.

He thought, "Retirement would be great; I wouldn't have to work so hard anymore."

But he didn't expect that the doctors would assert that if he continued like this, he might not be able to hold on until retirement.

He glanced at Pang Lüzhi subconsciously.

If he doesn't even make it to retirement, then he really has no reason to have anything to do with Green Branch anymore.

After all, she just didn't look for it, not that she couldn't find it.

Perhaps this time, after she gives up on him, she can start a new life.

When did you injure your back?

Pang Lüzhi stared intently at Lin Chong, already having a bad feeling.

"It's been a long time." Lin Chong did not give a direct answer.

But Pang Lüzhi was no fool.

Was it during the time we lost contact?

"You broke up with me because you got hurt?"

"Lin Chong, what kind of person do you take me, Pang Luzhi, for?"

Pang Lüzhi rarely gets angry; people always greet the owner of Youranju with a smile.

Lin Chong remained silent.

Pang Lüzhi really wanted to kick him, but she held back.

Lin Chong, finally unable to withstand her glare, could only sigh and tell the truth: "Lvzhi, my injury was quite unusual, and the location of the injury was also..."

"The doctor determined that I may not be able to do heavy work for the rest of my life, and I will not be able to use my back muscles."

He glanced at the two young men and, seeing that they had no sense of propriety, had no choice but to continue.

"You know this means I might not be able to give you a complete family," and even less to make her happy in our sex life.

What kind of man is that?

What right does he have to possess such an outstanding woman as Green Branch?

She is beautiful, has a great figure, and is also a great cook.

You can live a good life running your own You Ran Ju.

She probably needs a gentle and considerate man, rather than someone like him who is always busy with work and unable to give her happiness.

To love her is to fear that you can't give her the best of everything.

Lin Chong also felt that the woman he liked deserved the best.

So he chose to disappear.

At first, they said they were busy with work, but later they simply stopped replying to messages.

In those years, phone calls were less common; people could write letters.

Moreover, expressing feelings through letters is more meaningful than making phone calls.

Pang Lüzhi sent out three letters, all of which disappeared without a trace.

No one answered the phone.

She understood; this was Lin Chong's way of saying goodbye.

But she never expected it would be for this reason.

She originally thought that Lin Chong had obeyed his family's arrangements and married another woman and had children.

Because I felt guilty towards her, I never dared to ask her for an explanation.

This also left Pang Lüzhi with a lingering grudge.

Shen Lu and Lu Xingye listened and sighed for the couple.

The two missed each other for more than ten years.

How did they get through it?

For Lu Xingye, he would never allow himself and Shen Lu to fall into such a situation.

He is selfish; even if a problem like Lin Chong's were to arise, he would not easily let go of Shen Lu's hand.

He will do everything in his power to heal himself and then give her happiness.

But as a man, he could understand Lin Chong.

"To hell with perfect families!" Pang Lüzhi cursed, her eyes red.

I don't know if her eyes were red from sadness or from anger.

"Lin Chong, don't you know what I want?"

"Besides, if your back is bad, can't you even lift your head?"

Lin Chong was speechless.

Shen Lu pinched Lu Xingye's palm.

She was genuinely worried that she would burst out laughing.

Aunt Green was a free spirit, and she always knew that.

But I never expected her arguments to be so interesting.

Lu Xingye remained expressionless and even glanced at Shen Lu.

Seeing her trying to suppress a laugh, a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes, but more so in his helplessness and doting affection.

"Lin Chong, say something!"

Pang Lüzhi punched Lin Chong in the chest.

"No." My back is bad, but that doesn't mean I'm bad in that area.

Pang Lüzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine then. You can't move, it's not like I can't move either. I'm on top..."

"Um-"

Before Pang Lüzhi could finish speaking, Lin Chong covered her mouth.

She belatedly looked at the two younger people.

What are you two still doing here?

Shen Lu blinked innocently: "I was asking about the patient's condition. He hasn't explained it clearly yet, so I can't just leave the patient behind."

"You agree, Aunt Green?"

Lu Xingye's attitude was also very good: "Don't worry, we didn't hear anything just now."

This is utterly blatant misrepresentation!
