If Mrs Lu had been watching from the sidelines, she would have cried into tears.
After such a long time, Mrs Lu still lives in self-blame.
She feels that she caused her youngest son’s car accident.
If she hadn’t stopped Lu Dongming from pursuing Hai Ling and forced him to die, if she hadn’t chased her son with her car and tried to stop him from going to Hai Ling, Lu Dongming wouldn’t have raced, and wouldn’t have braked too hard, rear-ended him, and crippled his legs.
It was all her fault as a mother.
When Lu Dongming gave himself up, Mrs Lu cried.
When Lu Dongming did rehab, he was in a terrible state, and Mrs Lu cried when she saw him.
So when Lu Dongming did rehab, he no longer let the family around, lest his mother cry and cry.
He had accepted the reality that his mother crying all the time would annoy him.
“Well, I’ll sit for a while, a little longer, then I’ll be able to stand up. Hai Ling, is there any water? I’m a bit thirsty.”
“You rest here, I’ll go back to the house and fill a jug of water out for you, do you want something to eat? Bring you some food too?”
He was easily hungry in this state.
Lu Dongming laughed, “Hungry is not hungry, we just finished breakfast, Aunt Liang’s cooking is good, I eat here at your place, every time I have to eat propped up, just bring me a jug of water over.”
“You mustn’t try to be brave, when your legs are particularly painful, don’t hold on, I’m going to go and fill you up with water.”
“Go ahead, I know my own situation well, don’t worry, I won’t try to be brave.”
After receiving Lu Dongming’s repeated assurance, Hai Ling hurriedly went back inside, found a kettle and cleaned it, and filled a pot of warm boiled water for Lu Dongming.
Lu Dongming was really thirsty, but also to distract Hai Ling, lest she see his sorry state and feel sorry for him.
While Hai Ling went back to the house to fill up the water, Lu Dongming once again managed to get up, and then continued to walk again.
This time, he took two more steps, and he was so happy that when he wanted to share it with Hai Ling, he turned back, only to remember that Hai Ling had been distracted by him.
Then this time he turned back, he fell to the ground again.
Lu Dongming couldn’t help but pound his two legs a few times, “Too useless, I can’t hold on after only four steps, it’s been so long and I can’t even walk a few metres, what use am I?”
He slapped his legs a few more times.
Looking up at the sky, the sky was grey.
Like his mood at the moment.
The sky was grey as if it was about to rain, the cool breeze was gusting, and he was still sweating profusely.
Lu Dongming wiped his own sweat.
“I’m going to get back up, stand up, for Hai Ling, for Yang Yang, I’m going to stand up!”
Lu Dongming quickly came out of his frustration.
He couldn’t be beaten down.
In Hai Ling’s words, other people like him were not even able to stand up on their own right now, he was not only able to stand up on his own, but he could also walk a few steps, he was already recovering well.
He hadn’t even used crutches yet.
After sitting for a moment, Lu Dongming stood up once again and insisted on walking.
Even though he repeatedly fell and sat on the grass, he stood up again and again, and with his persistence, he found that he was able to take nearly ten steps while enduring the pain, the most steps he had taken on a single day since he had done his rehab.
Lu Dongming was very happy, he felt that if he tried harder, he would be able to walk for a while.
If he could walk for a while and try harder, he would be able to walk like a normal person, and he would have truly recovered.
