Nine in the morning.
After everything was packed up, Twinkle and Patrick were both on the road back to City M.
Looking at the distant scenery outside the window, Twinkle knew that this journey would be an experience she will never forget.
Thinking of the hickeys on her chest, she was still a little conflicted in her heart. She turned her face to stare at Patrick. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Patrick holding his leg with one hand, rubbing it lightly.
She then remembered that he had just fallen.
It must hurt to fall off the wheelchair!
“You deserved it!”
She cursed secretly as she leaned forward and stretched out her little white hand to press on his leg. “It hurts?”
“Yeah.” replied Patrick.
Letting her small hand rub against her leg, his big hand gradually let go.
After a while, Twinkle looked at Patrick with a surprised look. “You can’t walk with your two legs, but you can still feel sensation?”
This is simply too unbelievable!
He could feel sensation in his legs, he could feel pain, yet he can’t walk. What is going on?
Patrick, “…”
Twinkle immediately let go and took out her phone to search for relevant information online.
Through the rear-view mirror, Trump carefully glanced at Patrick’s expression, but Patrick turned his face towards the window. His bright black pupils showed a different kind of depth.
Janet sat in the front passenger seat and held up a glass of milk. After taking a couple of mouthfuls, she carefully glanced at Twinkle, but saw Twinkle’s eyes light up, as if she was very excited.
The couple’s eyes met for a moment, then knowingly looked elsewhere and returned to doing their job.
Look, this is exactly why it’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble. What a perfect example! “Uncle! I found it!”
Twinkle shook his arm and looked at him with excitement. “There are two cases for someone conscious of pain but unable to walk like you. One is Parkinson’s, the other is a problem with the nervous system in the spine.”
Patrick, “…”
“Parkinson is a common degenerative disease of the nervous system among middle-aged and elderly people. The age of onset is generally over 55 years old. The disease rate increases with age. Uncle is a bit older, but not yet 55 years old, so this case shouldn’t be you!” Twinkled added.
Patrick, “…”
She placed the phone in front of him excitedly and asked him to read the words on it. “Look, you should be the second type, which is the neuropathy of the spine! With this disease, the sooner it is treated, the more likely you will be able to stand up. Uncle! Have you seen it? Look at it!”
Patrick, “…”
His deep eyes scanned the words on the phone. He turned his eyes to look at her again, and said, “I have seen many doctors. No one knows for certain. My legs, that’s how they are for now, don’t care too much.”
Twinkle didn’t understand and didn’t agree. “Uncle, this is about your legs, they are a part of your body! Uncle, don’t give up, don’t give up! The doctors you’ve seen are all famous doctors, right? I heard that many famous doctors have poor medical ethics. They exaggerate the problem to get money out of the wealthy patients. Uncle, you have to believe me, I will help you find a doctor, okay?”
Trump raised his eyebrows and spoke to help Patrick. “Miss Simpson, Patrick’s legs have always been treated with medicine, but this treatment requires a certain amount of time and is very periodic. Don’t worry too much.”
“Yes, it’s better to follow one doctor’s orders for this kind of thing. If you see several doctors at the same time, everyone has different treatment and different methods, and it may not work.” Janet Jane added.
Twinkle’s excited little face dimmed a little bit, and tried to speak again. “Well, the doctor who treated the uncle, did they say what will happen to the uncle’s leg after the cycle ends?”
Trump didn’t dare to speak.
Janet Jane as well.
An arm gently patted her shoulder soothingly. “For this kind of thing, we can follow destiny. I know you care about me, but sometimes there are many things we can’t control.”
Twinkle was silent suddenly.
She looked at Patrick and her clear eyes were full of pity. “But if the uncle’s legs can stand up, he would be viewed as a god who can control the entire universe. Uncle, why don’t we go to the hospital for once, and see the most ordinary doctor says, okay?”
He was stunned for a moment before speaking slowly. “If I was viewed as a god, there would be more women around me, are you fine with that?”
How can I get rid of this girl’s idea of treating my legs? What a pain!
“As long as uncle’s body gets better, I don’t care how many women are around you!” Twinkle was serious. “Plus, uncle said that he only wants me as the ray of sunshine and me as the only the person who warms his heart, right?”
Seeing her innocent little appearance, Patrick’s eyes grew deeper and deeper. “Okay, I’ll listen to whatever you say.”
Just because Patrick agreed to treat his legs, Twinkle made phone calls and searched the web during the several hours they were on the highway back. Her positive and nervous attitude made everyone feel as long as Patrick’s legs could get better, she was willing to give everything for it.
Patrick was immersed in the joy of Twinkle being busy for him as he stared and watched her.
Who said that serious and hard-working men are the most attractive?
It’s obviously serious and hard-working women who are the most attractive!
They took a break at a highway service centre for an hour to go to the bathroom, refuel, eat, and nap. By the time they arrived at City M, it was already five o’clock in the afternoon.
After the car drove into the city, Patrick couldn’t help but hold Twinkle’s little hand.
“Would you like to return to Purple palace with me first then go back to the Simpsons’ tomorrow?”
Seeing the expectation in his pupils, Twinkle also wanted to agree.
But, recalling how worried her mother was when she gave her the bag on the side of the road, she decided against it. “I’ll go back to the Simpsons. Well, take care of yourself.”
Patrick looked at her deeply and stopped talking.
Twinkle lowered her head guiltily. “I, I must go home first. Mom and dad must be very anxious, I’m sorry. I will call you at night.”
Patrick raised his hand to rub her soft hair and once again pulled her back into his arms to hold her. “I will let go of you when we arrive at the Simpsons’.”
Twinkle held onto his waist and stayed still in his arms. “Okay.”
What should I do? My nose is so sore. As she thought about how they will soon be separated, Twinkle wanted to cry.
Her eyes were red, and her heart felt empty. Her little head rubbed against him and heard his nice voice pass over her head. “You hate to part with me?”
“Yeah.” She nodded heavily. “It’s a strange feeling, as if I already started to miss you.”
