Chapter 123 Your decision is supported by the whole family!
Su Niannian's expression was somewhat serious as she considered how to restore Gu Zhendong's leg to a normal state as much as possible.
But that would mean he would suffer more.
However, if she cannot recover to the level of a normal person and needs crutches or is unable to walk properly, then Su Niannian feels that the treatment is not very meaningful.
That depends on whether Gu Zhendong is willing to endure the hardship and suffering.
As she thought about it, Su Niannian's expression grew increasingly heavy.
The people nearby were so nervous their hearts were practically pounding out of their chests.
Is this... incurable?
Gu Zhendong's rekindled hope felt like it was about to be extinguished.
My whole body, which was sitting upright, slumped against the back of the chair.
Gu Nan couldn't help but frown. Could it be that his older brother's leg was so serious that Su Niannian couldn't cure it?
He believed in Su Niannian, and he knew that Su Niannian would do her best, so he wouldn't blame her.
He just felt it was a pity about his older brother.
Unlike her two brothers, Gu's mother was not as composed. When she noticed that Su Niannian's expression was off, she asked her what was wrong.
"Niannian... is there no cure?" Gu's mother's voice reached Su Niannian's ears.
Upon hearing this, Su Niannian shook her head.
Gu's mother felt utterly disheartened.
"No, it's treatable." Su Niannian knew she had misunderstood when she saw Gu's mother's reaction.
He quickly offered an explanation.
Then he looked at Gu Zhendong with a serious expression.
"Brother, after taking your pulse and examining your leg, I have two treatment options. I'll tell you, and you can decide which one to choose."
Gu Zhendong nodded upon hearing this, indicating that Su Niannian should continue.
"The nerves in your leg are not actually very damaged; it's mainly the bone that's affected."
"When I was injured before, my bones were severely shattered. With current medical technology, it is impossible to piece so many broken bones back together."
"You should already know about this. When you were admitted to the hospital, the doctor probably said during the X-ray that there was no way to recover from this level of injury."
When Su Niannian finished speaking, Gu Zhendong nodded.
When I injured my leg back then, the hospital said they couldn't perform surgery.
There were too many bone fragments inside; there was simply no way to process them.
It's so severe that there's no chance of surgery.
Gu Zhendong let out a heavy sigh of relief.
"So now, is there still hope?" Gu Zhendong hesitated for a moment before asking.
“I have two methods now. One is to help you recover to the point where you can walk with crutches, and the other is to help you recover to the level of an ordinary person. As long as you don’t put excessive strain on your legs, outsiders won’t be able to tell that there is a problem with your legs.”
After hearing Su Niannian's words, the group felt that there was no point in choosing.
Of course, the latter is the better choice!
The goal of treatment is definitely to restore the patient to a normal state!
Therefore, I don't understand why Su Niannian would ask that question.
Gu Nan, however, instantly understood what Su Niannian meant.
"Is it because you have to suffer a lot to return to being a normal person?"
Gu Nan controlled his voice and asked as calmly as possible.
Su Niannian nodded.
"That's right, if I want to restore my brother to normal, I need to break his legs again."
"Now, although the bones in my brother's leg are deformed and cracked, some of the fitting parts have still healed, and there are even problems such as hyperplasia."
"If you want to stand up and walk like a normal person, all the bones up to this point need to be broken!"
As Su Niannian spoke, she gestured, from her knee to her ankle...
"Won't breaking them again make things worse?" Gu's mother asked worriedly, hearing that so many bones in both legs were to be broken.
"It's not a big problem, but it will definitely cause a lot of pain."
"Moreover, there are basically no major problems with the nerves in my brother's legs. If the anesthesia is increased, it may damage the nerves in his legs that were originally fine."
As Su Niannian spoke, one could feel the pain of an injured leg being broken again.
"So, you mean it will hurt even more than the first time you broke your leg? And you can't use anesthesia?" Gu Nan asked, standing to the side.
"Pretty much. I can apply some numbing cream, but it won't be very effective," Su Niannian said truthfully.
Now, everyone's eyes are on Gu Zhendong.
We await his decision.
Regardless of whether Gu Zhendong is willing to endure such great pain or chooses a less painful treatment option that requires crutches, they will respect his choice.
After all, these are their relatives, and they hope that Gu Zhendong can make a choice based on his own heart.
"Let's choose the second option," Gu Zhendong said with a smile.
His gaze swept over his mother, Gu Nan, and Gu Ningning.
Finally, it fell on Su Niannian.
“I don’t want Yangyang to have a disabled father. I want to stand up like a normal person.”
"If I still need crutches, it probably won't be much different from how I am now," Gu Zhendong said with a faint smile.
He wants to go back to normal, even if it means enduring pain.
Su Niannian looked at Gu Nan and asked for his opinion.
Gu Nan nodded silently.
“We respect our elder brother’s choice and will listen to him,” Gu Nan said in a deep voice.
He knew his older brother's choice might be painful, but it was the choice a man should make.
If it were Gu Nan himself, he would also be willing to break his bones to treat his crippled leg.
Therefore, he understood and supported his older brother's choice.
Although Gu's mother also wanted her son to recover to be like a normal person, the thought of having to break both legs again, and in even more pain than when the accident happened before, was too painful.
As her mother, she would feel heartbroken.
She longed to suffer all of this for her son, but she couldn't.
That feeling of helplessness as a mother spread at that moment.
Su Niannian looked at Gu Zhendong and said, "Brother, as long as you can persevere and follow my treatment method, it will take about four to six months for you to stand up like a normal person."
Su Niannian spoke very sincerely this time.
And they were very certain.
Gu Zhendong looked at Su Niannian, who had a serious expression, and nodded heavily.
"I can."
"I can manage." Gu Zhendong's voice trembled slightly.
I don't know if it's the joy of my leg being almost healed or the pain I'm about to face.
Gu Nan stood behind Gu Zhendong and patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother, we're all here with you." Gu Nan's words were like a reassuring pill.
A smile finally returned to Gu Zhendong's face.
"Then I'll start preparing the medicine. I need to soak the herbal medicine in water for my older brother first, and then we'll begin the treatment."
