Chapter 1235 - 1239: Glass Legs
After Beitang Huan saw the servant leave in a hurry, Sister Huan also walked over. Seeing both Beitang Huan and Xia Qingqian at a loss, she forced herself to calm down, stepped forward to support Xia Qingqian, and said, "Miss Huan, let’s first help Miss Qing Qian back to bed, it’s windy here.""Mm, okay." Beitang Huan was caught off guard, just staring blankly at Xia Qingqian, who was frowning tightly and enduring the pain. Her own heart was twisted up just as tightly!
After they got Xia Qingqian onto the bed and pulled the blanket over her, Ye Feng hurried up as well. He walked straight to Xia Qingqian’s bedside and asked, "Miss Xia, lie still. I’ll give your legs a thorough check."
Ye Feng took a small medical reflex hammer and tapped lightly on Xia Qingqian’s knees as he asked, "How is it? Do you feel any pain?"
"Even the leg without the cast can’t move..." Xia Qingqian told the truth. She looked at Ye Feng and asked, "Will I still be able to walk?"
Back at the military district hospital, the doctor had overlooked this point and had only done a minor corrective surgery for Xia Qingqian and put on a cast.
Ye Feng took an X-ray of Xia Qingqian’s legs, and when the result came out, his expression turned rather heavy. He stood in front of Xia Qingqian, gazing at her for a while. The words rolled in his throat, up and down again—he didn’t know how to tell her in a more appropriate way...
"Ye Feng, did the results come out? What exactly is going on?" Beitang Huan walked around the head of the bed to stand in front of Ye Feng. His on-the-verge-of-speaking expression was really enough to drive someone crazy!
Xia Qingqian also seemed to sense that the news wasn’t good, but she said very firmly, "Housekeeper Ye, just say it. No matter what the result is, I can take it!"
Ye Feng stood quietly to the side and once again stared at Xia Qingqian for a good while. The seriousness of his expression was truly a bit frightening. Beitang Huan was even less able to stay calm. She reached out and tugged at Ye Feng’s hand. "Ye Feng, say something already!"
"Should we wait until the Young Master comes back to talk about it?" In the end, Ye Feng still couldn’t quite bear it. Xia Qingqian was so young yet had to endure so much pain; he really couldn’t bear to let her know even more...
"Housekeeper Ye, this is my matter and has nothing to do with the Young Master. Don’t let him know..." Xia Qingqian had been quietly telling herself in her heart that she must be strong; no matter what the result was, she would be able to accept it!
Ye Feng looked at Xia Qingqian for a moment, then let out a light sigh before finally saying, "Miss Xia, what you have is osteogenesis imperfecta. But you don’t need to worry, your symptoms are mild, so the doctor at the military district hospital didn’t detect it."
"Osteogenesis imperfecta..." Xia Qingqian’s small hands lightly twisted the white bedsheet as she repeated what Ye Feng had just said. She also studied medicine, so of course she knew what kind of illness this was.
How could she have this kind of disease? She had never heard her father mention that anyone in their family line had this condition.
"Osteogenesis imperfecta? What kind of condition is that? Is it serious?" Beitang Huan had no idea what this was; she had never even heard of it!
"In plain terms, it’s ’glass legs’—even a slight careless fall can cause a fracture at any time." A trace of sympathy overflowed in Ye Feng’s eyes. Among two hundred people, only one might have this condition; it was a very rare disease.
Beitang Huan hurriedly covered her mouth as she listened, her gaze dropping onto Xia Qingqian. She had personally seen Xia Qingqian fall down. If Beitang Yao decided to hold her accountable, she would definitely be as good as dead!
