After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 1230 - 1229: The Truth of the Matter

"No need to be so tense." Seeing this situation, Xia Chuyi smiled at Song Zhicheng, "Shiqian is supporting me, very steadily."

As she spoke, Xia Chuyi also smiled at her husband.

Hearing this, Huo Shiqian nodded lightly, a trace of a smile flashed in his eyes, as he firmly supported her down the steps.

Seeing the couple like this, Song Zhicheng felt gratified, yet at the same time, probably thought of something, and sighed slightly in his heart.

After Xia Chuyi safely descended the steps, Song Zhicheng withdrew his left hand.

Throughout the whole process, Song Zhicheng’s right hand remained in his pocket, never coming out.

And this detail, Xia Chuyi only recalled after she and her husband parted ways with Song Zhicheng and got into the car.

"Oh! Shiqian, did you happen to notice just now..." Xia Chuyi said, "Brother Song supported me with his left hand, his right hand remained in his pocket..."

"Do you think his right arm was injured before and hasn’t healed yet?" Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but ask Huo Shiqian.

Hearing this, Huo Shiqian sighed lightly and said, "Did you notice?"

"What do you mean?" Xia Chuyi tilted her head, looking at Huo Shiqian, puzzled, "Do you know something?"

Huo Shiqian took her hand, gently patted it, and said, "Chuyi, do you remember I just told you that Wang Zicheng’s aftereffects were an act?"

Xia Chuyi nodded slightly and said, "I remember."

"This matter is related to Song Zhicheng." Huo Shiqian said calmly.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi was even more puzzled and said, "How could Wang Zicheng’s pretend aftereffects be related to Brother Song?"

"It is indeed related to him." Huo Shiqian said, "You noticed just now that when Song Zhicheng supported you, he used his left hand."

"And his right hand stayed tucked in his pocket."

"That’s because Song Zhicheng is actually the one who truly has aftereffects." Huo Shiqian said calmly.

"What?" Hearing Huo Shiqian’s words, Xia Chuyi was very surprised and exclaimed, "Brother Song has aftereffects?"

"Yes." Seeing this, Huo Shiqian gently patted her to comfort her before continuing.

"You and I both know about what happened before." Huo Shiqian said, "Song Zhicheng’s hand was injured during that attack."

"At that time, we gave him simple treatment."

"Later, at the hospital, because Wang Zicheng’s condition was more severe, our attention was no longer on him."

At this point, Huo Shiqian paused slightly before saying, "Actually, at that time, the important nerves in Song Zhicheng’s arm were injured."

"So now, Song Zhicheng’s right hand is basically useless."

"He even has to start practicing using his left hand for writing and eating." This last sentence was said with a touch of emotion by Huo Shiqian.

To put it bluntly, Huo Shiqian meant that Song Zhicheng’s current condition — having a right hand is akin to not having one.

"Is it that serious?" Xia Chuyi exclaimed immediately, "Why did he not tell me?"

Xia Chuyi remembered she had specifically asked Song Zhicheng during Jiang Fengqi’s wedding!

Huo Shiqian slightly shook his head and said, "It’s not just you he’s kept in the dark."

"He has concealed this matter from almost everyone." Huo Shiqian said, "If it weren’t for Wang Zicheng, who happened to run into him during a follow-up hospital visit..."
