Huo Mian was so nervous that her forehead was covered with sweat… her assistant frequently helped her wipe them away.
At this moment, she stopped thinking about whether the person lying before her was Qin Chu.
Even if it was an ordinary patient, she would be diligent at this moment of life and death.
Huo Mian gently moved the bullet with the micro-scalpel…
With another hand, she held onto a pair of forceps and began gently pulling the bullet out.
Even though her movements were light, she still affected the wound, since the area was so sensitive.
The outcomes would’ve been the same with even the best doctor.
Huo Mian stared intently at the bullet, then, she steeled her heart and pulled it out.
“Oh no, he’s hemorrhaging…” Mr. Feng shouted.
“Quickly pass the hemostat to me!”
The assistant quickly handed over the hemostat to Dr. Feng, who quickly used it to stop the bleeding.
“Oh no, Dr. Xu, the patient’s blood pressure is rising and his heart rate is abnormal.”
The assistant nurse was so scared that her voice was weak…
“Stats!”
“Blood pressure 215, heart rate 179.”
“Shoot, quickly give him a unit of blood and more oxygen.” Dr. Xu was also panicking.
Huo Mian’s mind was blank when she heard what they said…
“Zhang, take Dr. Huo over to the side and leave the rest to us.” Dr. Xu saw that Huo Mian was on the verge of collapsing.
Her eyes were sluggish and her breathing rate was off, so he quickly asked someone to help her.
The most important part of the surgery was over, Huo Mian had personally taken out the bullet.
It didn’t matter who carried out the rest of the surgery…
Dr. Feng and Dr. Xu hurriedly rescued Qin Chu…
At this moment, Huo Mian could no longer hear anything…
Maybe it was because she was too nervous, but it seemed like she was starting to hallucinate.
“Mian.”
She heard Qin Chu calling her name…
“Qin Chu… Qin Chu.” Huo Mian was in a daze, and she began to look around.
“Dr. Huo, drink some water, you’re too nervous.” The assistant nurse poured Huo Mian a glass of water.
“Mian…”
She seemed to hear his voice again…
She stood up and looked around to see Qin Chu still lying unconscious on the operating table.
Five hours later…
The surgery was finally completed, Dr. Feng and Dr. Xu successfully stopped the bleeding and sutured the wound.
“The surgery is over,” Dr. Feng said tiredly as he took off his mask.
“Dr. Feng, he…?” Huo Mian asked with a frown.
“The surgery was successful, but… we have to observe for 48 hours. We don’t know if he will wake up or suffer post-surgical complications. I can’t guarantee anything.”
“Okay,” Huo Mian said as she licked her dry lips.
The surgery took 6.5 hours…
– 2 PM –
The OR doors opened…
Everyone gathered around immediately…
The only ones absent was Song Yishi and her mother. Mayor Song had also left for work reasons an hour earlier.
Mrs. Qin was extremely displeased, but she did not say anything.
After all, her son’s life was still hanging on the line…
“How did it go, doctor?” Everyone asked hurriedly.
“The surgery was a success, but we still have to observe him for 48 hours. We don’t know if he will wake up, since there’s still a chance for post-surgical complications, so we can’t guarantee anything.”
Everyone was relieved to hear that the surgery was a success… but they were nervous again when they heard that it was not over.
“What about Huo Mian?” Su Yu asked anxiously.
Just then, Huo Mian walked out…
She slowly took off her mask; her entire body was soaked in sweat…
“Huo Mian…” Jiang Xiaowei was just about to walk towards her when she suddenly passed out and fell to the ground…
The 6.5-hour surgery took a complete toll on her body and caused her to collapse.
