Edith saw signs of him loosening up, and once again pulled out her rehabilitation therapist qualification certificate, as well as a bunch of other certificates, and handed them to Ryan, “I’ve helped people with paralyzed legs stand up again before, and I believe that if you’re willing to cooperate, I can help you too. But just one thing, we almost got married before, so I hope you won’t feel too awkward when we’re together.”
If she hadn’t mentioned it, Ryan wouldn’t have remembered this at all. “That was a decision made by our elders, it has nothing to do with me.”
He would never get married in his lifetime. Even if he cured his legs and depression, he would only stay in the capital city and occasionally pay attention to Amelia. That would be enough for his whole life.
Edith didn’t care who he would marry or not marry. “Since you’ve agreed, remember to call me when you’re ready to treat your legs.”
She took out a business card and handed it to Ryan.
Ryan originally didn’t want to get treatment. After all, he had gotten used to it. But Edith was right. If he cared about
Amelia, he shouldn’t let her feel guilty for his disabled legs and depression. “I need surgery, but it might not happen so soon.”
Edith waved her hand nonchalantly. “Call me when you’re ready. Goodbye.”
Ryan stopped her. “How much will it cost?”
Edith had wanted to say it was pro bono, just a favor, no need for payment. But she was afraid he wouldn’t accept, so she changed her tune. “One million, can Mr. Collins afford it?”
Other rehabilitation therapists would charge at most a few hundred thousand. Edith deliberately raised the price so that Ryan would more easily accept her help without guilt.
Not understanding Edith’s intentions, Ryan found the number one million to be highly ironic. His face turned pale. “I can afford it.”
Nowadays, of course he could afford it.
Seeing that he agreed, Edith turned around directly.
After staying in place for a while, Ryan turned his wheelchair back to the living room. He probably wanted to say hello to him. Amelia hadn’t left yet.
“Ryan, we’ll go back today and come see you another day.”
After nodding, Ryan’s lips curved into a faint smile.
“Amelia, I’m going to have surgery abroad next, so I won’t be in the capital city for the next few months. You don’t have to come see me.”
Zoey, who was waiting nearby, looked at Ryan thoughtfully.
The experts clearly said that the surgery could be done domestically, but he insisted on going abroad. What does that mean?
“That’s what the experts said, that leg surgery needs to be done abroad?”
“Yes.”
