Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 136

Quentin shouted behind him, "Why can’t you both just sit down and talk it through properly? What's the point of going around like this?"

Zayn turned a deaf ear to him and disappeared down the corridor in a few moments.

Quentin sighed. As an assistant, he was truly worried about them.

Zayn only exhaled heavily when the surrounding area was empty, but that did not relieve the compression in his chest.

Before Lindsey woke up, Zayn went to find Dr. Cavill, who was the main doctor for Lindsey’s surgery.

To be precise, it was Dr. Cavill who took the initiative to talk to him.

The top surgeon in the country, who was also internationally renowned, looked at Zayn, and the first thing he said was, "Mr. Guggenheim, your wife's health condition isn’t looking good."

Zayn’s stunned face probably surprised Dr. Cavill, who was not interested in the family feuds of the wealthy and was not in the mood to understand what happened. However, out of a doctor's professionalism, he noticed some things and informed Zayn of what he knew.

"She has multiple broken bones as well as displaced internal organs. We can still see those traces clearly although they’ve already healed because it only happened recently. Moreover, these injuries appeared at the same time, which meant that within the past six months or a year at most, she probably withstood heavy pressure over a large area of her body. Her internal organs and bones could not withstand that much force, which caused her current condition.

"These injuries to the body are almost fatal, but fortunately, she had timely treatment and managed to survive. Even so, some injuries will stay with her for life. You should take good care of your wife's health and be extra careful because a simple fall might cause serious consequences for her."

Dr. Cavill was giving Zayn advice as a doctor and analyzed Lindsey's physical condition.

It was a miracle that Lindsey survived, let alone the fact that she was still able to run and jump around. She looked healthy, but the pain she endured was something unfathomable to anyone who had not experienced it.

Zayn was certain that these injuries came about when Lindsey jumped into the ocean.

He could vaguely hear Lindsey's soft voice like a crying kitten, "Zayn, it hurts..."

Back then, it must have also been very painful when she jumped into the cold seawater, got sucked in by the whirlpool, and was pressed to the ocean floor.

There was also no light at the bottom of the ocean, so she must have felt so hopeless and distressed at that time.

As for the pain during treatment, it was nothing compared to the time of injury.

Zayn did not listen to a word of whatever Dr. Cavill said later as he was only imagining Lindsey shouting in pain.

"When the steel rods are placed to fix her bones, did it hurt?" Zayn waited for Dr. Cavill to finish speaking before he asked this question out of the blue.

Dr. Cavill paused and thought for a moment before saying, "Of course it hurts. Although there’s anesthesia, that only helps to reduce the pain for the patient. It doesn’t mean that she won’t feel anything. People often describe it as a bone-crushing pain. Nailing something into the bone would definitely hurt no matter the dose of anesthesia."

Zayn thought that during the time of Lindsey's accident, his heart already went numb with despair.

However, the heavens often liked to give him hope and let him step into hell again.

He could no longer face Lindsey calmly. Even the pain of getting rejected after blurting out an affectionate “I love you” that he tried so hard to suppress seemed laughable at that moment.

‘Zayn Guggenheim, what do you love about her?’

‘What right do you have to love her?’

The caregiver treated Lindsey like a fragile doll, moving with great care.

The wounds on Lindsey's body would get agitated when she moved and it would hurt, but the pain was still tolerable.

After listening to the caregiver, Quentin reported it to Zayn.

Lindsey knew that Quentin was guarding at the door and that she could not get rid of him no matter what she tried. The Wilford family's bodyguards came as well, but to no avail. Moreover, Lindsey did not want to make too much of a scene at a hospital, so she just let him be.

As long as Zayn was not here, she could pretend that he did not exist.

When it was almost dark out, Shaun came to visit her.

Lindsey was staying in the ward specially arranged by Zayn. She originally wanted to transfer to another hospital, but considering her health condition, she finally gave up that thought.

Her time was limited and there was no need to waste it on unnecessary things.

When Quentin told her that Shaun had come to see her and asked if she wanted to see him, Lindsey gave him a strange look before saying, "Of course."

With Zayn’s past behavior, he had always thought of Lindsey as his property, so he would never let Lindsey meet Shaun, let alone ask for her opinion.

Shaun looked much better than the last time they met. When he saw Lindsey, he habitually touched her head. His eyes were full of worry and concern.

"What happened?"
