Marcia’s driver got out of the car and opened the door. Marcia was in the wheelchair and said, “come on.”
I hesitated for a moment and got in the car with Briana and Doris.
No one spoke all the way. Marcia first drove to where I lived. I let Briana and Doris in and gave them the keys. Then I went back to Marcia’s car.
When I got in the car, I asked her, “Marcia, how did you know I was going to get kicked out?”
Marcia smiled. “Maybe we’re both disabled so I have an instinct.”
I lowered my eyes and was a little depressed. “We were in harmony, but we had a long foreplay and he found out...”
“That man is Sean, isn’t he?” Marcia looked at me.
I nodded.
Marcia leaned over and held my hand. She comforted me, “my leg is a turning point for me to break up with him.”
Hearing Marcia say that, I looked down at her leg.
On the surface, she was no different from a normal person. I thought there was something wrong with her and Sean’s nerves. I said, “can’t you operate on this leg?”
Hearing my words, Marcia smiled and said, “yes, actually I have a prosthetic limb. I can stand up and walk normally, but I don’t want to...”
“Why?”
I was surprised.
I thought the current technology could cure most diseases.
They were doctors and definitely knew new technology. She shouldn’t have been in a wheelchair for so many years.
Marcia looked at her leg and said, “my leg is like this because of Ming.”
I was surprised, but I didn’t speak and waited for Marcia to continue.
“We had an accident when we were 30. At that time, Ming received an order that he shouldn’t have. After I knew it, I wanted to stop him. In order not to let him do the operation, I stopped him when he drove away from the hospital, but he still left. I drank a lot of wine that day, but I was hit by a car on the road. It was too late that day. When someone found me, my leg was broken.”
Marcia was calm. She looked like she was talking about someone else.
Even so, I could even feel her mood when I looked at her!
I looked at her and hesitated for a long time and said, “did you go into a coma after you were hit by a car?”
“No.”
Marcia replied decisively.
When she mentioned it, her beautiful face finally became sad. She lowered her eyes and stroked her legs. “I wasn’t in a coma. I was very conscious, but I couldn’t move. I lay there and felt my life slowly passing. I was really desperate. I was still awake when I was taken to the hospital.”
“What operation did Ming perform on others?”
I finally asked.
Marcia gave a wry smile. “Now I’m not afraid to tell you. He went to the underground black market and had a heart changing operation for someone.”
She didn’t go on.
A heart changing operation could be done in the hospital. Since he went to the underground black market, it was not normal.
