Chapter 75: 075: He could feel it now

His body was like a huge tree. The roots would have absorbed all the nutrients and water, but due to a blockage in the main parts, the sections after that, which were the branches and leaves, would not be able to receive any nutrients. Over time, only the roots would be able to survive.
However, after a certain period of time, the parts that did not get the nutrients would wilt and die. At the same time, it would even affect the roots that were absorbing the nutrients, which would then lead to the death of the entire tree.
This was Zhan Lichuan’s body’s current condition.
Because of the fracture at the thoracic vertebrae, the spinal cord was damaged, and the damage was permanent and irreversible.
After this, he would have to face problems beyond the immobility that he had now. Since the nerves were damaged, it would slowly cause other neurological problems in the autonomic systems. His internal organs, including the kidneys and the heart, would start to fail as well.
Even though during the surgery, the doctors had already stabilized the fractured pieces with a metal nail, the nerves were remained damaged. Therefore, the only method for a full recovery was to reconnect the nerves in his spinal cord.
In order to reconnect the nerves, other than making sure that the bones were seamlessly placed together, they still had to reestablish new connections for the nerves.
The silver needle that was now in Zhan Lichuan’s back seemed to be no different from an ordinary acupuncture needle. Looking at the length of the needle, about 15cm had entered into Zhan Lichuan’s body.
No one would be able to tell how the needle managed to pierce through his body, but Jing Qian’s hand was steadily and slowly moving the silver needle inwards. In less than 5 minutes, with a room temperature of 26 degrees, there were already droplets of sweat forming on Jing Qian’s forehead, even as she was dressed in a singlet.
After the acupuncture therapy, which was the most important, Jing Qian took out another extremely long needle and pierced it into an acupuncture spot that was between both of Zhan Lichuan’s arms.
Zhan Lichuan did not feel anything in the beginning, but when both the needles were pierced through his body and combined with Jing Qian’s gradual exertion, he felt a warm flow in his body.
Zhan Lichuan’s heart skipped a beat. He knew what the warm flow meant.
Ever since the accident, he hadn’t felt the slightest sensation beneath his chest, including both his arms. He couldn’t even feel pain.
After losing sensation for about three months and being disappointed multiple times, he was finally able to feel a warm current in his body that reached his fingertips under such strange circ.u.mstances.
Although it was only a warm flow that went towards his fingertips, he could genuinely feel it flowing through his fingers. Due to his excitement, Zhan Lichuan, who was pretending to be asleep, slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, Zhan Lichuan was lying on his stomach on the bed and his face was facing the opposite side from where Jing Qian was at. This was why Jing Qian, who was focused on exerting the force onto the needle, did not notice that the essential oil that she had specifically designed was not effective on Zhan Lichuan.
The person who was supposed to be unconscious until the next day, even if there was a thunderstorm outside, was currently awake with his eyes wide open.
The deep dark eyes that were originally emotionless were now disturbed by a deep, bottomless vortex, which also disturbed his emotions.
Although he had known since yesterday that his ‘wife’ was a hidden master, he still hadn’t expected her to be at such a level.
This was something that even experts from the Capital were not able to do, but she managed to do it with only two ma.s.sages.
Since he had lost most of the sensation in the rest of his body, Zhan Lichuan did not know what Jing Qian was doing behind his back that allowed him to feel this way.
