Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Shen Nian looked at Chu Yunze and said that if his injury had been recent, she would have been completely confident that he wouldn’t be left with any lingering aftereffects.

However, since so many years had passed, a full recovery couldn’t be rushed. It was achievable, but would require slow and steady conditioning.

’Of course, this was only possible because she had a powerful tool like the space. Any other doctor would lack such an ability; otherwise, Chu Yunze would have been cured years ago.’

Shen Nian had only said a simple sentence, but her words sent massive waves crashing through Chu Yunze’s heart.

In fact, upon hearing her words, Chu Yunze slammed on the brakes and pulled the car over to the side of the road.

Shen Nian lurched forward, realizing her words must have struck a nerve with Chu Yunze.

’Just as she’d suspected, her guess was correct. His body had been left with severe aftereffects, but the scars on his heart were probably far worse.’

Since Shen Nian was sitting right beside him, she could clearly see his hands trembling violently as they gripped the steering wheel.

’The same hands that were once so perfectly steady were now trembling so violently from a single sentence that he could barely hold the steering wheel.’

Shen Nian didn’t think he was weak. On the contrary, she felt both respect for him and a pang of heartache.

’Perhaps someone else wouldn’t have been able to do any better than Chu Yunze. Despite suffering such a major blow, he had still managed to become the pride of his family.’

’It was just that all the pain from the past had been buried in the deepest corner of his heart.’

”I’m sorry, Brother Yunze. My timing was terrible.”

Shen Nian said apologetically. ’I should have chosen a more appropriate time to talk to him about this.’

’It was just that after seeing Chu Yunze, she had immediately recalled what Lu Cheng told her after she came back from the Chu Family’s home last time.’

’Lu Cheng also really wanted his good brother to recover, didn’t he?’

”No, it’s not your fault. I lost my composure. I’m sorry... I guess it’s just that I’ve invested so much hope over the years, but it always ends in disappointment.”

’How could he not want to recover? How could he not long to return to the world he loved most?’

’But each time his hopes were shattered, the blow was deeper than the last.’

’To avoid another blow, he had even sealed his hope away, forcing himself not to think about it. No expectations, no disappointments.’

’He admitted it to himself—he was scared. Truly scared.’

”Brother Yunze...”

”Honestly, I’m fine like this. The things I’m doing now... they’re things I enjoy, for the most part. I’m doing pretty well. For now, let’s just... let things be. No more changes.”

A wave of bitterness washed over Shen Nian’s heart as she listened to him. She knew that Chu Yunze had been crushed by disappointment so many times that he’d fallen into despair.

’That was why he’d rather stop believing in so-called hope—because he didn’t want to experience despair ever again.’

Shen Nian could understand Chu Yunze’s feelings. ’No matter how confident I am in my medical skills,’ she thought, ’no matter how fantastically high I claim the odds of success are, he won’t believe me easily right now, will he?’

’It looked like Chu Yunze’s situation wasn’t going to be so easy to resolve. For now, all she could do was put her faith in time, hoping that it would eventually help him walk out of the shadows of his past.’

’For now, what she could do was use her abilities to help Chu Yunze gradually get his body back into condition.’

’As for his psychological wounds, Shen Nian believed that there would surely be a way to heal them in the future. Chu Yunze was absolutely not a weak person.’
