Chapter 236 What if Lu Yuan never wakes up?

"We will do our best."

Lu Yuan was quickly pushed into the operating room. Gu Qingshi was guarding outside the operating room. Her hands and clothes were stained with blood. She lowered her head to look at the blood and couldn't help but estimate how much Lu Yuan was bleeding.

Lu Yuan fainted because of too much bleeding, and excessive blood loss is very dangerous in itself.

The more Gu Qingshi thought about it, the more anxious and self-blaming she became. She should have noticed it earlier. If she had noticed it earlier, Lu Yuan would not have been injured while protecting her. As soon as she closed her eyes, the image of Lu Yuan standing in front of her flashed before Gu Qingshi's eyes.

Just when Gu Qingshi was daydreaming and feeling like the days were passing by, the police came and asked about Gu Qingshi's situation. Their people had already gone to the Ginkgo Road that Gu Qingshi mentioned to look for any trace of Jem.

Gu Qingshi briefly explained the situation and said that Jem and her had a conflict before.

But the people who went there did not find Jem. There was blood on the ground, but the person was gone. Jem's air gun was also left at the scene.

The police are professionals. As soon as they got their hands on the air gun, they knew it had been modified, which is why it was so lethal.

There was a lot of blood at the scene, which meant that Jem was in critical condition. It was just unknown how Gu Qingshi was injured and how he protected himself.

Hearing that Jem was missing, Gu Qingshi casually said that he was hit by a stone, and didn't say anything else.

In front of Lu Yuan, she didn't care whether her space was exposed or not, but in front of outsiders, she was very cautious. Her space could not be exposed. If Jem was found, it would be difficult for her to explain, and she had to find a way to conceal it. It was convenient for her if Jem was not found.

Anyway, even if Jem was rescued, he would have been in danger of death and it would not be an easy life.

Air gun injuries are a very serious matter, especially when the injured person is Lu Yuan. The public security people took it very seriously. Before Lu Yuan came out of the operating room, the hunt for Jem was already in full swing.

Fang Wen had already received the news and rushed to the hospital with Bai Xue.

When Fang Wen heard about Jem, he knew that Jem was here to seek revenge, so he issued another order to find Jem, "Surely find him alive or dead!"

Anyone who dares to hurt Lu Yuan is simply seeking death.

Bai Xue stayed beside Gu Qingshi, "Sister, nothing will happen, don't worry. Brother Lu Yuan is blessed with a long life, he will be fine." Bai Xue was very grateful to Lu Yuan.

"Yes, nothing will happen." Gu Qingshi nodded and silently prayed to God to bless Lu Yuan.

But God seemed not to have heard it. The door of the operating room opened, but the operation was not over. The nurse hurried out to contact someone and brought more plasma. Then a gray-haired doctor hurried over.

When Gu Qingshi heard them say that the patient had cardiac arrest, she hurried forward to ask something, but was stopped by the nurse outside.

"Family members, please stay calm and don't make any noise. The hospital is doing its best to save the patient."

Gu Qingshi was not noisy, nor was she not calm enough, she was just too worried. Cardiac arrest during surgery was no joke, and she was afraid that Lu Yuan would not be able to get off the operating table.

"Sister, the doctor will save the life, don't worry too much." Bai Xue hurriedly grabbed Gu Qingshi.

Gu Qingshi couldn't help but worry. If she had just thought of trusting the doctor, she really couldn't stay calm at this moment. She didn't dare to think about what would happen if Lu Yuan couldn't be rescued.

After a long wait, when Gu Qingshi was almost exhausted, the lights in the operating room finally dimmed.

"Doctor, how was the operation? Where's Lu Yuan?"

"Although he suffered a cardiac arrest during the operation, the operation was successfully completed and the lead bullet was removed."

Gu Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief, "Where is that person? When can he come out?"

"The patient has been transferred to the intensive care unit." The doctor explained patiently, "Although the operation was successful, it still needs to be observed."

Gu Qingshi knew very well what the intensive care unit meant. It meant that although Lu Yuan's operation was successfully completed, he had not yet passed the critical period.

He passed the first hurdle, but there are still difficulties to overcome.

The facts were just as Gu Qingshi had expected. "The patient has passed the first stage. We still need to observe him. We will do our best to treat him. You cannot go in to guard him for the time being. The nurse will notify you when you can go in."

"Okay." Gu Qingshi took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Late at night, Gu Qingshi couldn't get into the intensive care unit, so she stayed outside waiting. Bai Xue and Fang Wen asked her to go back and rest, but Gu Qingshi instead persuaded them to go back.

Bai Xue went back and brought some food for Gu Qingshi to eat, but Gu Qingshi couldn't eat much. "No, you take it back first. I'll just drink some water."

"Sister, you need to eat a little so that you can accompany Brother Lu Yuan. Otherwise, what if you collapse first?"

"No, I'm in good health. I won't collapse. I'll eat tomorrow."

Gu Qingshi drank spiritual spring water to maintain her energy and strength, but she really had no appetite. Lu Yuan was lying in the intensive care unit with his life or death unknown. How could she be in the mood to eat?

When Fang Wen and Bai Xue failed to persuade Gu Qing, they followed her outside and stayed there all night.

But when the sun rose, Lu Yuan still hadn't woken up, and Gu Qingshi couldn't see Lu Yuan. He had to wait until four in the afternoon to go in and visit him, which lasted half an hour.

Uncle and Aunt Bai Yang were both there, and there were also people visiting from time to time, but Gu Qingshi didn't pay much attention to them. His attention was all focused on the ward.

Every time a doctor or nurse came out, Gu Qingshi would pay attention, hoping for good news, but also afraid of any accidents, and was always worried about the people inside.

At noon, Gu Qingshi forced himself to eat a meal and cheered himself up to wait for meeting Lu Yuan in the afternoon.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Qingshi, who had been anxiously waiting for a whole day, finally saw Lu Yuan again.

Lu Yuan was lying on the hospital bed with a very bad look on his face. Gu Qingshi's heart ached when he saw him. She should have been the one lying on the hospital bed, but Lu Yuan blocked it for her.

Half an hour was a very short time, and soon Gu Qingshi had to leave. The doctor told Gu Qingshi that Lu Yuan's body was in good condition, so all his functions were recovering, otherwise it might be very troublesome.

But the doctor couldn't guarantee when he would wake up. "As long as he wakes up, he will have survived the crisis. Let's just wait a little longer."

"So when will he wake up?"

"Not sure." The doctor shook his head. Lu Yuan lost too much blood at the beginning because the lead bullet hit him in such a coincidental location. He also suffered cardiac arrest during the operation. If nothing unexpected happened, he should have woken up, but he didn't.

The doctor couldn't make any guarantees. In Lu Yuan's situation, he might wake up in the next second at the earliest, or he might never wake up.

Although the chance of the patient never waking up is small, it is still unpredictable. Not being sure when the patient will wake up is the biggest headache for doctors.

"What do you mean by never waking up? If he never wakes up, then he will be a vegetable, right? Will Lu Yuan become a vegetable? No, no, no, absolutely not."

"They didn't say he was in a vegetative state. Family members, please don't get excited. Let's wait and see what happens."

Gu Qingshi's heart sank to the bottom and he didn't know how he got out of the doctor's office.

What if Lu Yuan never wakes up?
