Power and Wealth Chapter 743

Chapter 743: Hospitalized!

Darkness.

Dong Xuebing felt everything that happened was a dream, and he had a splitting headache. He slowly opened his eyes and was blinded by a bright light.

“Eh? He is awake!”

“Director Dong is awake!”

“Hurry! Inform Mayor Geng!”

“Get the doctor first! Go!”

Dong Xuebing looks at the light on the ceiling and looks at the windows. It is dark now, and he guessed he should be hospitalized. He remembers what happened before he fainted. He lost consciousness after he caught Geng Yuehua. He tried moving his arms. *Hiss…. Pain! He couldn’t even move his shoulders, and his arms seemed to be heavily bandaged. He could smell the medicine from his arms and hear the beeping sounds from the medical devices.

“Director.” Geng Xinke asked. “How are you feeling?”

Dong Xuebing turns to the sound. “How long have I been asleep?”

Geng Xinke replied. “You had lost consciousness for almost eight hours. We are at District First Hospital now.”

“I feel fine. Are my injuries serious?” Dong Xuebing tried to move his body to sit up. “Xinke, give me a hand.”

Geng Xinke and a nurse helped Dong Xuebing sit up carefully. “You got an x-ray, and the doctor says both your arms have multiple fractures, and your waist and legs are injured too. You need to rest for a while.”

Dong Xuebing frowned. “Is it that serious?”

“You are fortunate.” Geng Xinke replied. “When we told the doctors that you caught eight people falling from the sixth story with your hands, they thought you might lose your arms forever. You might even be paralyzed. We were shocked, but luckily, it’s only a few fractures. Those doctors felt this is unbelievable. They say you will recover within two months with no side effects. You don’t need to worry about it.”

An Orthopedic doctor entered the ward and checked Dong Xuebing’s condition carefully. He knows the importance of this patient as the District Party Secretary and Mayor ordered the hospital to save him at all costs. Now, there’s no need to worry. However, he is still puzzled how can someone only suffer fractures after enduring the impact and weight of eight people falling from height? Ordinary people’s arms should be crushed, and their spines would be smashed. What are his bones made of?

The doctor looks at Dong Xuebing again. He is shocked by his body condition. If everyone’s bones were as strong as him, the Orthopedic doctors would be out of a job.

Dong Xuebing had fainted before he could use REVERSE on himself. If he could use his powers, he would not have any injuries. He had used REVERSE to recover before he caught Geng Yuehua. Since the doctors discovered his injuries, he decided not to use REVERSE as he could not explain how he could heal so fast.

Suddenly, the doors opened, and Geng Yuehua entered. A group of people followed behind her. They are District Leaders, and the staffs’ Dong Xuebing saved. Many of them were injured, and staff had to use crutches.

Geng Yuehua anxiously asks. “How is Xiao Dong?”

The doctor replied. “I had checked him again. He is fine and will recover after some rest.”

Geng Yuehua nodded and walked over to the bed.

“Mayor Geng.” Dong Xuebing moved his legs and tried to sit up.

“Just lie there!” Geng Yuehua pressed his shoulder. “You are a patient, and your duty is to rest and recover. Don’t think about doing anything else.”

Dong Xuebing nodded and looked at the people behind her. “Is everyone alright?”

Geng Yuehua replied seriously. “You had saved their lives. Only Xiao Wang broke her leg, and the rest suffered some superficial wounds.”

Dong Xuebing is relieved to hear everyone, especially Geng Yuehua, is acceptable. He did not suffer in vain. He noticed she looked alright, except for the dirt and dust on her suit. He will regret it for the rest of his life if anything happens to her.

Two female staff suddenly cried when they saw Dong Xuebing covered in bandages.

“Thank you…. Director Dong.”

“Sob… sob…. Thank you.”

Their crying affected the rest.

A nurse heard about what happened at the District Party Committee Building when Dong Xuebing was admitted. She knows Dong Xuebing had risked his life to save others and was moved to tears.

The rest who Dong Xuebing saved came forward to thank him. It’s been almost eight hours since they were rescued, and they finally can thank him properly.

Dong Xuebing quickly stop them. “Please stop thanking me. We are colleagues, and we should help each other. I believe everyone will save me if I am in danger. Hey you, stop crying.” He doesn’t know these people’s names and only saw them in the District Party Committee Building.

A few more visitors entered the ward. Some are Guang Ming Subdistrict Office’s staff, and some are the family members of the people Dong Xuebing rescued. There’s a relief center near the hospital, and everyone wanted to visit him. They knew he woke up. Even the hospital’s person-in-charge visited him.

The hospital ward is full of people.

The Government staffs were more reserved as Mayor Geng was there. But the family members don’t care.

“Director Dong! You are a good person!”

“If it weren’t for you, my daughter would be dead.”

“Thank you…. Thank you….”

Dong Xuebing quickly return their greetings and thanks.

Geng Yuehua turned to the rest. “It’s late. Go back and visit him tomorrow. He needs to rest.”

“Yes….”

“Director Dong needs to rest.”

“Director Dong, I wish you will have a speedy recovery.”

“We are leaving. Rest well.”

Everyone left the ward, and Geng Yuehua asked the nurse to leave. She remained in the ward with Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing looked at her and asked. “Mayor Geng, how is our current situation?”

“Five more earthquakes happened. One of them is quite serious, and the other four are minor earthquakes.”

“What about the casualties?”

Geng Yuehua paused for a second. “The death toll had crossed ten thousand, and the injured figure is still rising.”

Dong Xuebing was saddened by the news and took a deep breath. He could save one or two, but he can’t save thousands of people. He felt helpless before a natural disaster.

Dong Xuebing replied. “You should go back and rest too.”

Geng Yuehua nodded but did not leave. She bent over and pulled up Dong Xuebing’s blanket.

“The district still needs you.” Dong Xuebing said. “This is a critical period, and you need to lead the rest. I am fine and won’t die easily.”

Geng Yuehua looks at the bowl of porridge on the side table. “Are you hungry?”

Dong Xuebing shook his head. “No. I got no appetite.”

“You must eat even if you got no appetite. I will leave after you finish eating.” Geng Yuehua picked up the porridge and pushed the spoon in front of Dong Xuebing’s mouth.

“I am not hungry.” Dong Xuebing smiled wearily. “Just go back.”

“I heard you had not eaten anything today. You must eat something.” Geng Yuehua ignored Dong Xuebing. “Open your mouth!”

Dong Xuebing could not move his arms and could not feed himself. He can only open his mouth to be fed. Geng Yuehua pushes a spoonful of porridge into his mouth and the second spoon is in front of him the moment he swallows.

Dong Xuebing devoured the porridge without pause.

Mayor Geng must not have taken care of patients before. But Dong Xuebing can feel her gratefulness through her actions. She will not say any mushy stuff, and she uses her actions to thank him. He felt touched as he ate the porridge. Most likely, even her family members have never been fed by her.

Dong Xuebing mustered his courage and said. “Err…. Can you wash an apple for me?”

Geng Yuehua looked at him and took an apple to wash.

Dong Xuebing quickly stop her. “Wait… I was only joking with you.”

It’s been over eight hours since the earthquake started.

Roads had been cleared, and communication resumed.

News of Dong Xuebing’s crazy feat at the District Party Committee Building spreads. If it weren’t because this news had come from the District Leaders and the District’s Party Secretary and Mayor were there, they would never believe it.

Catching people falling from a six-story building, and he caught eight people in a row!?

How is it possible that Dong Xuebing only suffered fractures in his arms?!

Almost all the District Government staff had heard of Dong Xuebing’s fighting capabilities. None of them could imagine he is so strong.

This guy is a goddamn freak!

Are his arms made of steel?!
