Chapter 951 - Contract

"Can I really walk again?" Wen Yan asked as his voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Of course! Why else would we perform the surgery for you? You're paraplegic, not amputated. If your legs are there, why would you not be able to walk? However, please note that it's impossible for you to walk immediately. Even if you got someone to do massage care over the last nine years, your muscles will still be atrophied. It will take at least three to five years of rehabilitation exercises to walk normally again."

However, Wen Yan was not disappointed to hear this.

After all, he already waited for nine years. So what if he had to wait for another three to five years?

Liu Ting continued to say: "In addition, the process will be quite difficult. If you do not have enough willpower, you might decide to stop and give up. If that's the case, instead of suffering through the rehabilitation exercises, you can choose to sit in your wheelchair for the rest of your life."

"No, I won't give up. I will persist," Wen Yan replied with certainty.

As long as there was a ray of hope, he would persist.

In the past, there was no hope. He had no direction to work in. But now, he was given hope and a direction to work in. Why would he not take this opportunity?

"Really? Well, if you're truly serious about this, we can help you a bit more. We can shorten your rehabilitation and recovery time in half."

"You..."

"Hahaha, are you surprised? That's right, Lahaisen Hospital can also provide you with help during your rehabilitation and recovery period. You can recover faster than you would elsewhere! If things go well, we can have you walking again in a year or two! But don't be too happy. You must take a step at a time. First, you must recover from the arrow injury. After that, we can discuss other matters."

After a moment of silence, Wen Yan asked Liu Ting: "Where are they now? I mean Yiling and Yunmo"

"I told you already. They're both asleep. In particular, Yiling needs a lot of rest. After all, she's never been physically strong. In fact, she's like a skinny baby chick. Thirteen hours of surgery is a new record for her. It's her limit. Typically, her surgical operations last for three to five hours. Even then, she's exhausted. Therefore, she only got through thirteen hours of surgery using sheer willpower. She fainted the moment she left the operating room."

"How is she now?"

"Don't worry about her. She's doing better than you. She fainted from exhaustion. You, my friend, fainted after you got shot by an arrow. Therefore, if you have the time to worry about someone else, please take care of yourself instead. You've slept two days and two nights before waking up. She's only been sleeping for seven hours. Furthermore, there's someone guarding Yiling."

As he said this, Liu Ting handed an agreement to Wen Yan: "Forget about them. For now, sign this first."

"What is this?" Wen Yan asked.

"A slavery contract," Liu Ting replied.

Wen Yan and Liu Ting stared at each other for ten seconds.

Then, Liu Ting explained: "Okay, okay. It's not a slavery contract. However, it's similar to one of those. It's essentially a consent form that you need to sign. As many medicines and drugs used by Lahaisen Hospital are not listed outside, if you sign this contract, it means that if something goes wrong, we do not need to be responsible for you. You're essentially volunteering yourself to be our experimental subject. There are no human rights here! You can only accept our conditions!"

Wen Yan skimmed the agreement in front of him. Liu Ting indeed spoke the truth.

As Wen Yan was about to sign the agreement, Liu Ting added: "Well, to be honest, you don't need to sign this agreement. We've already used many new medicines and drugs on you.. Even if you die, we're not going to be responsible for you."
