The Reborn Honest Beta is a Fishing Beauty - Chapter 7 PT2

Chapter 7 PT2 – A Memory from the Past

When Su Nuo rushed to the ward, he just heard a burst of cursing.

“What’s going on? How exactly do you guys work? Do you guys think that since there’s a party today, you can just go down and join in the fun? And you’re ignoring your own duties?!”

The one who cursed was Yuan Jianyi’s attending physician, Ke Wen, who was also the best doctor in the entire galaxy at treating brain injuries.

Su Nuo didn’t say a word. He stood next to Aunt Xuan and others and let Ke Wen scold him.

“The monitor showed that Young Master Yi’s condition was not reported to me until three minutes after the abnormality appeared. Did you know that if it had been any later, Young Master Yi might not have been saved?”

The two servants who were on night watch today were so frightened when they heard this that they knelt on the ground trembling, sobbing quietly and not daring to say a word.

Su Nuo thought they looked a little weird.

Yuan Jianyi’s heartbeat is usually stable, why is it abnormal twice today?

Was he really affected by the engagement?

No, if Yuan Jianyi was conscious, he should have reacted when Xu Yu came to see him that day.

Yuan Jianyi’s condition seems to be very serious this time. Yuan Jing, Yuan Yao, Yuan Lu, and even Xu Yu are all here.

Su Nuo’s eyes calmly scanned their faces and finally fell on the monitor above that was flashing red light.

Yuan Jing closed his eyes and rubbed his brows. It was hard to tell whether he was sad or impatient. After a moment, he opened his eyes and ordered with a cold face: “Punish the servants who were supposed to guard the ward tonight for dereliction of duty. The other servants will be flogged with twenty lashes.”

The bodyguards immediately went to capture Su Nuo and others.

Su Nuo rushed behind Yuan Jing and said, “Star Master, I’m afraid something is wrong. Something must have happened to stimulate Young Master Yi, causing his heartbeat to become abnormal. There’s a surveillance camera above the ward, so we can check it out.”

Yuan Jing didn’t look at Su Nuo. He raised his hand to stop the bodyguard’s action and then looked at Khalil who was standing beside him. Khalil immediately ordered someone to check the surveillance records.

After a while, the surveillance records were sent to Khalil’s computer.

Khalil found the video of Yuan Jianyi before the accident and projected it onto the blank wall.

In the video, the situation in the ward was normal, with two servants giving Yuan Jianyi a massage.

After a long while, the picture remained the same.

Xu Yu seemed a little impatient and shouted, “What’s wrong? I think you, the servant, are just stalling for time! Why don’t you drag them away and punish them!”

Yuan Jing didn’t say anything and the bodyguard didn’t move.

Xu Yu looked a little embarrassed.

At this moment, the surveillance footage changed, and a figure walked into the ward—it was Xu Yu who had just shouted that he wanted Su Nuo to be taken away to be punished.

After Xu Yu came in, he waved his hand to signal the two servants to leave. He sat on the chair and reached out to touch Yuan Jianyi’s face. As he touched, the movements of his hand became more and more presumptuous, moving down inch by inch, along Yuan Jianyi’s neck, and touching his chest.

As if it was not enough, Xu Yu grinned, stood up and kissed Yuan Jianyi.

Everyone had complicated expressions when they saw this scene.

The electrocardiogram monitor nearby showed that the heartbeat gradually accelerated until an alarm sounded.

Xu Yu was so scared that he let go of Yuan Jianyi and hurried out, waving his fists to threaten the two servants outside the door, telling them not to tell anyone what happened in the ward, otherwise he would kill their families.

The video stopped abruptly and Khalil pressed the pause button.

Everyone in the ward looked at Xu Yu with different expressions, including surprise, anger, and contempt.

Yuan Lu, who was standing next to Xu Yu, was the first to explode. He raised his hand and slapped Xu Yu hard: “Xu Yu—you bastard!”

“I’m a bastard? How am I a bastard? If you hadn’t glued your eyes to Lu Yu and embarrassed me in public, why would I go looking for a vegetative person?”

“You…” Yuan Lu’s face flushed with anger as she slammed the door and left. “Shameless bastard!”

Xu Yu covered his face and stared at Yuan Lu’s departing back with a gloomy expression, but when he looked at Yuan Jing, his expression instantly turned pitiful.

He was actually not afraid in his heart. After all, the Yuan family needed the support of their Xu family more now. Only in this way could the Yuan family have enough power to fight against the Lu family.

Otherwise, the Yuan family would not have discussed with the Xu family to change the marriage candidate so soon after Yuan Jianyi’s accident.

“Lord, another abnormal surveillance video…”

“No need to look.” Yuan Jing walked up to Xu Yu.

Xu Yu pretended to explain, “Star Lord, I was drunk and a little angry, so I did this…”

“Let your elders from the Xu family come and explain to me!” Yuan Jing suppressed his anger, glared at him, and turned away.

If the culprit was someone else, Yuan Jing estimated that he could tear the person into pieces on the spot.

But this person was Xu Yu, and Yuan Jing left after saying just one word. It seemed that he would continue to hold Xu Yu accountable, but in fact he had let the matter go lightly, and it eventually came to nothing.

There will be no justice for Yuan Jianyi at all.

Xu Yu naturally understood this logic, so he smiled indifferently, glanced at Yuan Jianyi lying on the hospital bed, blew him a kiss, and slowly left.

Aunt Xuan and the others were so angry when they saw this that they gathered together to complain about Xu Yu.

Su Nuo walked over and spoke to Ke Wen, “Doctor Ke Wen, why does Master Yi’s heartbeat react to Master Xu’s touch?”

Ke Wen frowned: “I suspect that Master Yi may have some awareness of the outside world.”

Su Nuo was stunned and turned his gaze to Yuan Jianyi.

“Current technology is still too outdated to fully understand the human brain. But just because machines can’t detect it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.” Ke Wen muttered, “I originally thought there was no hope of waking up, but now it seems there’s a good chance…”

Su Nuo knew that Yuan Jianyi would wake up, but he didn’t know that Yuan Jianyi was still conscious.

After Dr. Corwin left, Aunt Xuan sighed deeply, “Ah, just now in the ward, the Star Lord didn’t even ask about Young Master Yi’s condition, and just left like that. Is he really going to give up on treating Young Master Yi?”

“Keep your voice down. Dr. Ke just said that Master Yi might be able to hear what we say.”

Aunt Xuan was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth.

When Su Nuo was the only one left in the ward, he sat down beside the bed and looked at Yuan Jianyi quietly.

Suddenly he thought of the scene when they first met.

At that time, Su Nuo had just arrived at the Yuan family not long ago. He always remembered the advice of Shen Miao and the old housekeeper to stay away from Yuan Yao. However, when he was watering the greenhouse, he still offended Yuan Yao because the spilled water wet the floor that Yuan Yao was about to pass by.

When he was forced to admit his mistake and kneel down by Yuan Yao’s bodyguards, the window on the second floor facing the greenhouse, which was always closed, creaked open and a lazy voice came from above.

“Little gardener, why haven’t you sent up the flowers yet?”

The old housekeeper had instructed Su Nuo to deliver a bunch of fresh wood lilies to the young master every morning. Su Nuo did this for more than ten days in a row, but the wood lilies were only placed on the shelf outside the door and the person inside the room had never seen them.

This was the first time he saw Yuan Jianyi.

The light of midsummer seems to be instantly filled with beautiful colors, and the world in our eyes becomes colorful, dreamy, beautiful and varied.

It was Yuan Jianyi who rescued him that day. Afterwards, he took the most flourishing wood lily in the yard and brought it to the second floor.

On this day, the door was opened from the inside.

Yuan Jianyi was wearing soft white pajamas, with a sleepy and gentle smile on his face. He walked slowly to Su Nuo. He was actually taller than Su Nuo, the beta.

“Thanks.”

Yuan Jianyi took the lily from him, turned around and went back into the room.

Su Nuo stood outside the door, his heart beating like a drum.

The scenes in his memory peeled off piece by piece and returned to the ward.

“I once thought that maybe it was because you fell into a coma and didn’t know Xu Yu’s character that you did that. It turns out that you were conscious the whole time…”

Su Nuo suddenly chuckled and found that he did not feel uncomfortable or wronged when he learned this fact. Matters related to Yuan Jianyi no longer caused any emotional fluctuations in him.

Thinking of Yuan Jianyi’s indifference and resistance towards him after waking up, he stood up and distanced himself from Yuan Jianyi.

“You don’t like my touch, and I’ve been feeding you and massaging you all this time. You must be very uncomfortable. From now on, I will let Aunt Xuan and Aunt Tong do these things. I won’t get close to you again.”

After he finished speaking, he walked out, and the sound of his footsteps became farther and farther away.

The soul of the person on the hospital bed seemed to be trapped in his body, and all his struggles and cries became silent.

A tear fell from the corner of his eye.
