Fade's words were unbelievable. Even Jasmine, who trusted him more than everyone else in the room, could not help but frown at that moment. She had a worried look on her face. "What on earth is Mr. Chen thinking? Why did he say things that are obviously illogical?"
Just when everyone was doubting and ridiculing him, Fade stepped forward and said confidently, "Whether I am kidding or not, all of you will know the truth in ten minutes."
Then, Fade walked to Madam Liu and asked with a gentle smile, "Madam Liu, can you tell me how you injured your leg?"
Madam Liu was stunned and then said, "I had a fight with my husband more than 20 years ago and he broke my leg with a steel pipe. At that time, I went to a small clinic to treat my leg after a long period of time as I could not afford the treatment. The doctor told me that I had arrived too late. Although the broken bones have healed now, I still can't recover the full use of my leg."
Hearing this, Fade nodded. He seemed to have thought of something and continued to ask, "Madam Liu, if I am not wrong, your relationship with your husband was not going well at that time, correct? Are you two still together now?"
Upon mentioning her husband, Madam Liu's expressions changed. She had a strange look on her face and kept silent for a moment.
Seeing this, Faber couldn't help but asked, "What are you doing? Is this part of your treatment?"
Faber's two followers chimed in.
"That's Madam Liu's private matter. Why are you asking this? Are you treating her or gossiping?"
"That's right. It's obvious that Madam Liu doesn't want to talk about the past from the way she looks. Why are you still forcing her to tell you?"
At this point, some of the students sat down and were slightly dejected as they were somewhat dissatisfied with Fade's behavior.
After all, Madam Liu had suffered for more than 20 years due to her leg's condition. Fade was digging up old wounds by inquiring about what had happened in those years. The students were curious at this sight.
Jasmine also had similar thoughts in her mind. However, she knew that Fade has a reason in doing so.
Ignoring their words, Fade looked at Madam Liu and continued, "Madam Liu, I'm not trying to bring up your old, painful memories. It's just that I really need to know what happened in the past if I want to treat you."
Hearing this, Faber sneered sarcastically and said, "Fade, that's enough. Madam Liu is physically restricted. It's not a psychological or emotional issue. Why are you discussing her past to treat her? Do you think we are all amateurs?"
"That's right. If you don't know how to treat her, just admit defeat. Don't persist."
"Madam Liu, you don't have to trust a liar like him."
"Shut up!" Fade shouted and glared at the three of them. Condensing an invisible ball of energy in his right hand, he gently placed it on Madam Liu's head.
Madam Liu felt a warm gush of air enter her head which made her feel relaxed. She continued quietly, "My husband and I are divorced. Since we got married, he began to get addicted to gambling and drinking. Whenever he loses money, he will start to drink and hit people. I have been beaten many times by him, and that time..."
Many students felt sorry yet resentful after hearing Madam Liu's story. They felt sorry for her miserable life and resented her ex- husband for beating her up.
Fade listened quietly, as if he had understood something. After Madam Liu finished her story, Fade said, "That's enough, Madam Liu."
The conversation came to an abrupt end which surprised the students who were immersed in the story. It actually made them feel a little uncomfortable.
However, at this moment, Fade smiled and looked at Madam Liu. Patting her hand, he said with a smile, "Madam Liu, don't worry. I have full confidence now that I can cure your leg."
