The medical team Mr. Lu invested in had no shortage of medical geniuses and titans.

Their arrival undoubtedly fanned the flames of hope in the Uma Musume.

The leader of the team was familiar with the hospital director, and after a brief exchange, the handover was completed.

As for Lu Jue, after he left, he only sent a message to the Uma Musume on his phone and never returned.

The doctors entered the ward and looked at Silent Suzuka, who was still in a coma.

"This... a comminuted fracture. We can't let her return to the racetrack."

"Just do as Mr. Lu says; don't worry about anything else."

Not to mention that their current field of research was unrelated to orthopedics, even if it were, it would be impossible to heal Silent Suzuka.

But Lu Jue told them they only needed to stay in the ward and monitor Silent Suzuka's condition at all times.

In her coma, Silent Suzuka entered a dream-like scenario.

"Is this a dream?" As she wondered, she looked up and saw a familiar figure ahead. "Lu Jue-jun!?"

She hadn't expected Lu Jue to even exist in her dreams.

But Lu Jue didn't respond to her; instead, he was looking up, as if at something unknown.

Silent Suzuka walked closer and called out again, "Lu Jue-jun?"

Now she was certain Lu Jue couldn't see her, and even more certain that this was just a dream.

Then, she heard a melodious voice from the sky.

"You are very intelligent, so what is your choice?"

"My leg for her leg." Lu Jue did not hesitate.

The day he left the illusion, he already understood the meaning within the Three Goddesses' words.

They were subtly reminding Lu Jue: exchanging an eye for a leg was certainly not in accordance with the rules, but exchanging a leg for a leg, that was in accordance with the rules.

That's why Lu Jue said "thank you" at the end, not to thank the Three Goddesses for answering his question, but to thank them for giving him a chance to choose.

"Good, you are the chosen one, naturally qualified to make this transaction with us... Then, as you wish."

"This is good..."

Silent Suzuka, who was observing, seemed to understand something and cried out in shock, "No!"

Immediately after, there was the sound of the illusion shattering, and her cry, like a grain of sand, was swallowed by the dust; Lu Jue could not hear it.

In the middle of the night, a half-moon hung high in the sky.

The world became a large cradle, and the sound of the wind was a whisper to lull people to sleep.

But Silent Suzuka in the ward woke up with a start from her bed, two tear stains still on her reddened eyes.

"Miss Silence Suzuka? Please lie down and rest well," said the medical staff attending to Silent Suzuka.

"Where is Lu Jue-jun? Where is Lu Jue-jun?" Silent Suzuka had never been so direct, but now she only wanted to see Lu Jue.

"Mr. Lu Jue, he's temporarily..."

"I want to see him!" Silent Suzuka threw off her covers and was about to get out of bed.

Her left leg was bandaged, yet she felt no pain at all.

This scene stunned the medical staff, who quickly reacted and said, "Miss Silence Suzuka, please don't rush. I'll call Mr. Lu Jue right away."

Upon hearing this, Silent Suzuka's emotions finally stabilized a little.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Lu Jue, Miss Silence Suzuka has woken up."

Lu Jue's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Silent Suzuka's pale face finally regained some color; she excitedly got up.

The medical staff had no choice but to hand the phone to Silent Suzuka.

"Lu Jue-jun... Where are you?" Silent Suzuka choked out.

"Silence Suzuka, you're awake? Are you feeling better? I've invited the best medical team to treat you. Don't worry, you'll definitely be able to return to the racetrack."

"Where are you now?"

"At home. It's too late now. How about I come see you tomorrow?"

The Three Goddesses were gentle after all; after the transaction was completed, they gave Lu Jue another blessing.

They lessened the karma Lu Jue bore and did not let him feel pain, but he could no longer run.

Lu Jue just needed some time to adapt; only then would he be confident enough to visit Silent Suzuka tomorrow.

Once he had fully adapted and could walk normally, he would tell Silent Suzuka everything.

Lu Jue knew he wasn't a noble, selfless, or silently devoted person; if he wanted her to know, he had to tell her himself.

Just telling Silent Suzuka a little later would greatly reduce the guilt in her heart.

"Don't lie to me anymore!" Two lines of clear tears shimmered with a crystalline luster under the light, and Silent Suzuka's voice was hoarse as she pulled out this sentence, "I know everything. I want to see you, I want to see you now... You're at home, right? I'm coming to find you."

On the other end of the phone, Lu Jue, lying in bed, remained silent for a long time. "I'll wait for you."

Silent Suzuka, with her bandages removed, didn't even change her clothes and rushed all the way to Lu Jue's house.

She had never been so anxious. She knew the password to Lu Jue's door perfectly, but her trembling hands caused her to input it incorrectly many times.

Finally, Lu Jue opened the door. "Did you forget the password?"

The moment she saw Lu Jue, Silent Suzuka's tears welled up again, and she lunged towards Lu Jue, tackling him to the ground.

"Ouch." Lu Jue winced slightly in pain.

The next moment, his eyes met Silent Suzuka's.

"How did you know..." Lu Jue looked at the bloodshot eyes of Silent Suzuka with heartache, wiping away her tears.

"It was the Three Goddesses." Her lips were wrinkled from dehydration, yet tears still sparkled in her eyes. "Why did you make this decision? Why..."

Silent Suzuka cupped Lu Jue's face, her fingers repeatedly caressing it, as if wiping a dust-covered, peerless treasure.

"Because I said I would save you, because you're worth it."

Silent Suzuka could no longer hold back, leaning down and kissing Lu Jue's lips.

She was like a traveler who had walked for days in a hot desert, encountering an oasis when thirsty, madly drawing from the source of life.

She was clearly very naive, yet she imitated the descriptions in storybooks, haphazardly writing "A," "B," "C," "D" with a different kind of pen tip.

Lu Jue's lung capacity was not as good as Silent Suzuka's, but he had just pushed Silent Suzuka away to take a breath when she kissed him again.

"Si-Silence Suzuka..." Lu Jue panted, thinking Silent Suzuka had finally let him go.

But Silent Suzuka suddenly straightened up, looking down at Lu Jue's face with a sidelong glance.

From Lu Jue's perspective, her eyes, red from crying, made him feel a little scared.

Lu Jue swallowed, "Silence Suzuka, it's getting late, you see..."

"I know it's getting late."

Silent Suzuka leaned down again, one hand locking Lu Jue's wrists together, raising them high above his head and pressing them down.

Immediately after, her other hand slowly unbuttoned Lu Jue's clothes.

"Si-Silence Suzuka?"

Lu Jue's strength was great among ordinary people, but it couldn't compare to an Uma Musume.

They only looked petite.

"Lu Jue-jun, you are worth it too." Silent Suzuka again held Lu Jue's lips, her hands not stopping at all.
