The three men in the room looked at her in surprise.
“Wife, how come you’re up so early? Did you hear Fourth Brother…” Yuchuan’s words trailed off.
She nodded, “Fourth Brother has been having episodes for a few days now?” “Three days.” Chuan said.
Su Qingyue’s face filled with guilt, “I’m sorry, Fourth Brother. I’ve known that your body has been in pain for the past few days.”
“Wife…”
“Yue’er…”
Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Yishan called her name in confusion.
Xiao Qinghe didn’t mind her words, he just endured the unbearable pain all over his body, with sweatdrops rolling down his forehead.
Su Qingyue had asked about Fourth Brother’s condition. Fourth Brother told her that the pain started four years ago, after his legs became paralyzed and numb. Doctor Sun from the village was unable to help, so Second Brother and Third Brother took him to the town.
The doctor in town prescribed medicine for him. He had to take one dose of medicine every day, which was very expensive for this family. It costs three taels of silver for medicine each month.
She said lightly, “The medicine Fourth Brother takes every day can alleviate the pain, and the agony won’t flare up. But once the medicine stops, the pain will flare up immediately.””I’m a drag on our family…” Xiao Qinghe’s eyes were filled with deep guilt. “No,” Xiao Yuchuan said with a pained face, “Fourth Brother, it’s my fault that you were hurt…” novelbuddy.cσ๓
“It’s nothing to do with you…” Xiao Qinghe gritted his teeth, barely bearing the pain.
“This is the second time I heard you say that you’re the reason for Fourth
Brother’s injury,” Su Qingyue raised her eyebrow, “What happened?”
“It happened four years ago. One day, I was working as a temporary worker in town and suddenly fainted. Worried about me, Fourth Brother went to look for me, carrying me on his back to a doctor. However, the doctor couldn’t find anything wrong, so Fourth Brother carried me back to the village. On the way back in heavy rain, there was a landslide, and a huge rock rolled down from the mountain. Fourth Brother managed to throw me out of the way, but his legs were crushed by the rock…” Xiao Yuchuan wanted to continue speaking, but Xiao Qinghe said, “Third Brother, don’t say more…”
“My wife should know the truth.” Yuchuan’s face was full of remorse, “If it weren’t for me, Fourth Brother, you wouldn’t have been in this predicament. Everything is my fault!”
“Third Brother, I never blamed you. If I could do it all again, I would still make the same choice, ” said Xiao Qinghe, squeezing out a comforting smile with his handsome, pale face.
“Fourth Brother…” Xiao Yuchuan was deeply moved.
Su Qingyue’s expression turned serious as she spoke, “According to medical knowledge, Fourth Brother’s pain is neuropathic. The pathology can be divided into injury-related or inflammatory pain. Fourth Brother wasn’t like this before, only after losing sensation in both legs. This pain should have been caused by the injury. Neuropathic pain has always been a challenging issue in the medical field because the treatment with medicine is often ineffective, causing much suffering for many patients. I’ve seen the medicine Fourth Brother takes, and it can only suppress the condition without any therapeutic effect. He has been taking the medicine for four years, and he’s already become addicted to it. Once he stops taking the medicine, the pain will be worse than before. However, if he continues taking the medicine, he’ll be relying on it for the rest of his life.’

What she didn’t say was that even if he stopped taking the medicine now, he probably wouldn’t be able to do without it unless Fourth Brother possessed extremely strong willpower.
“What can we do?” Xiao Yuchuan was deeply worried and wished he could bear the pain for his brother.
“Fourth Brother hasn’t taken any medicine for three days now, and if he thinks the pain will only get worse and never go away, it will affect how he feels, making the pain even worse.” She sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to undo Xiao Qinghe’s clothes.
Xiao Qinghe’s body stiffened for a moment, and his handsome, pale face reddened slightly..
