Chapter 689: She Has Repaid You with Her Life, Hasn’t She?
It was more than five hours.
The light on the door of the ER stayed on until the next morning. Ji Nuan didn’t get out of the ER at 8:00 a.m. when Qin Siting had arrived by plane in overnight.
“How long has she been in there?” K had told Qin Siting what had happened, so the latter just asked this when he saw the operation hadn’t been over.
Nanheng held a cigarette between his fingers but didn’t light it. He who also sat here the whole night looked at Qin Siting and said, “More than twelve hours.”
Qin Siting didn’t know whether he should be relieved or what. He just nodded and said, “The last time Dr. Wendell and I saved your life in Los Angeles, I found Dr. Wendell is very good at this kind of operation and I was just assisting him. Now even if I don’t join the operation, I think Dr. Wendell is able to save her life. After all, it has been so long but the doctors haven’t come out. Let’s wait.”
“Do you think I’m the one who can’t wait?” Nanheng pointed to the ‘stone’ on the bench with his chin.
Qin Siting looked at Mo Jingshen and came over, looking down at him. “I never expected to see you like this. When Ji Nuan had an abortion, she waited helplessly for you to wake up outside your ward every day. I think she was as scared as you are, huh? Or even more scared?”
Mo Jingshen had the stubble around his chin overnight. Looking at his stubble, the dried blood on his clothes and his gaunt look, Qin Siting almost couldn’t recognize him.
However, he was his buddy anyway. No matter how much disapproved of what he did to Ji Nuan, in such a situation, Qin Siting could do nothing but stimulate him with words to keep him from breaking down.
At this time, the light on the door of the ER finally turned from red to green. Qin Siting who was most sensitive to this light cast a quick glance at it and suddenly said, “I think Ji Nuan has made it.”
Mo Jingshen turned to look at the door of the ER with a jerk. When he saw the color of the light on the door, he lunged to his feet and rushed over.
Soon the door was opened and some of the best doctors in Los Angeles and Dr. Wendell walked out. Most of them looked tired after a twelve hour-long operation, but Dr. Wendell was still energetic and obviously in a good mood, which meant that Ji Nuan didn’t die in the operation.
But Ji Nuan wasn’t wheeled out and only the doctors and nurses walked out.
Catching glimpse of Mo Jingshen, Dr. Wendell nodded at him politely. Then he saw these acquaintances of him, so he took off the mask and said in English, “The bullet in Miss Ji’s body has been taken out, but the bullet wounded a central nerve and she also had some impact injuries. I saw a few redness and bruises on her head. She was badly injured and suffered several respiratory arrests during the operation. We had a hard time getting her heart rate back up, but it is still weak. We have transferred her to the ICU. No one shall visit her for a few days except the medical staff. She is expected to go through a long period of observation and danger. Now she has to count on her own recovering ability. Although the operation is very successful, whether she survives or not depends on herself, not on us.”
“Has she been transferred to the ICU?” Mo Jingshen asked hoarsely.
Dr. Wendell nodded. “Her internal organs and spine had been damaged by the bullet and had to be transferred directly from here to a sterile environment. Otherwise, her internal organs would be susceptible to infection. Mr. Mo, don’t worry. As long as your wife has a chance of survival, we will not give up. We’ll have the best doctors watching her around the clock, and you can rest assured.”
“Her internal organs and spine were damaged?” Qin Siting standing on the side suddenly asked, “Will it affect her brain functions, such as memory, thinking, intelligence, and so on?”
Dr. Wendell said gently, “It’s too early to know for sure. We’ll have to wait until she’s out of danger. Dr. Qin, I think you know that the place where she was shot was vital. It was not easy for her to survive the operation that lasts so long. As for the rest, we can only wait and observe.”
Qin Siting nodded and spoke no more.
“Mr. Mo, I’m going to change first. I have been wearing this gown in the sterile operating room for over ten hours. It’s very uncomfortable. I will tell you more about Miss Ji’s condition after I change my clothes.” Wendell said respectfully and politely to Mo Jingshen. After Mo Jingshen nodded, he left with the other doctors to change.
The light on the door of the ER turned off. Hearing Ji Nuan’s life had been saved, Nanheng turned to tell K how to deal with Atuta.
Qin Siting stood there with one hand in his trouser pocket. He turned to look at Mo Jingshen who frowned because he didn’t see Ji Nuan wheeled out safe and sound. “Her spinal nerve was damaged just like in that car accident. She has repaid you with her life, hasn’t she?”
Mo Jingshen’s eyes were deep and dark. He listened silently.
——
Nanheng had been waiting for Feng Ling to show up, but she hadn’t come to the hospital even now. XI Base had been calling him, urging him to go back to deal with Atuta. He didn’t have time to wait here. Why hadn’t Feng Ling come yet? He had received accurate information that Feng Ling had landed in Los Angeles at about the same time as Qin Siting this morning.
But she hadn’t appeared yet.
Nanheng had to leave as XI Base kept urging him to go back. However, less than five minutes after Nanheng left the hospital, a slim figure in a tight black dress appeared in front of the hospital. Seeing Nanheng leave, she entered the hospital.
K had just answered a call and was about to leave when he suddenly caught glimpse of a woman with long shoulder-length hair, a sexy dress, and sunglasses walking into the hospital. At first, he did not pay much attention to this woman. After all, there were beautiful women everywhere in Los Angeles, many of who were just as enchanting as this one.
However, at the moment of walking past that woman, he suddenly stopped his steps. As if struck by lightning, he stiffly turned around and stared at the back of this woman who was somewhat strange yet very familiar to him, and asked in surprise, “Feng Ling?”
Feng Ling turned around and smiled at K who immediately shouted ‘Holy shit’ and his eyes almost popped out…
