Chapter 424 This surgery cannot afford the slightest mistake.
A moment later, Jiang Nuanzhi emerged from behind the screen, stumbled, and nearly fell.
Li Rong wrapped his arms around the person, his brows furrowed tightly.
"How are you?" He held her hand, which was icy cold to the bone, his dark eyes filled with worry. He took a piece of pine nut candy from his pocket and fed it to her.
Jiang Nuanzhi took it and ate it, then gently patted Li Rong's big hand: "It's okay, I'll just take some sedatives."
Intuitively, Li Rong sensed that something was wrong with A Nuan; her hands were still trembling. "I'll go with you. Tell me what to do, and I'll do it."
Jiang Nuanzhi shook her head, clenched her hands, and took a deep breath: "No, this surgery cannot tolerate the slightest mistake."
In no time, everything needed was ready.
Jiang Nuanzhi took out a medicine bottle from her bosom, poured out a few pills, and swallowed them.
Within moments, the hand tremors subsided.
She flexed her wrists and then went into the room. Frowning, she looked at Lord Lu: "Who can assist me with the surgery?"
Lord Lu's face was pale: "Me and Granny Sun."
"You?" Jiang Nuanzhi frowned.
Lord Lu, his face pale, said, "I have already cleaned myself up and can definitely cooperate with Doctor Jiang this time."
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at him, then at Granny Sun: "Neither of you are suitable. Go outside and call two maids in. You two can wait outside the screen together."
"Dr. Jiang, why!"
Jiang Nuanzhi sighed: "I'm going to cut open her belly. Can you calmly cooperate with me while watching your wife's belly being cut open?"
"Slice open the belly"
Upon hearing this, Sun's mother seemed to lose all her strength and collapsed to the ground, though she didn't faint immediately.
Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but frown, only now realizing that she really needed to stop.
In the past, when she went out for house calls, Lü Shizhu would accompany her; at home, her servants and the old man would help, including Ping'er, Fusheng, and Fuman. Now they all know her habits when she's in surgery and would help with miscellaneous tasks. But when she goes out, especially with such a major surgery, she's truly stretched thin.
"Dr. Jiang, these are the two bravest girls in the family."
Lord Lu, still retaining some sense, saw Sun Mama's condition and knew she was no longer of any use. He quickly went to find someone.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at the two girls, sighed inwardly, and then quickly gave them a few instructions before the operation. She then said to the outside, "Arong, don't go too far. If it really doesn't work, come in and help me."
When it really comes to that point, the traditional separation of men and women will no longer matter.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Li Rong's calm voice rang out. Jiang Nuanzhi finally took a breath.
"Don't worry, Doctor Jiang, I will stay by your side. Everyone in the household is here. Just give me your orders."
Jiang Nuanzhi responded and then picked up the silver needles.
The toxins still need to be suppressed first, otherwise, she fears she won't make it to the end of the surgery.
Inside the room, Jiang Nuanzhi held her breath and focused on starting the surgery.
Outside, Li Rong and Lord Lu were both on high alert. The surroundings were so tense you could hear a pin drop, and you could almost hear a person breathing.
"Old Lu, Old Lu! Has Doctor Jiang arrived yet?"
Just then, I vaguely heard a commotion outside.
General Wan, with his magnanimous manner, led his strategist Zhang Xiaohu and his entourage into the mansion.
As he walked, he muttered to himself, "In broad daylight, there's hardly a soul in this mansion? What's going on?"
Just as she was wondering what was going on, she spotted Li Rong in the distance. Her face lit up with joy, and she rushed over, exclaiming, "General! It really is you! You're back! Is Physician Jiang here too? Old Lu! You've done a great job, your wife is back now!"
"Shh!"
Li Rong put his hand to his lips, signaling General Wan to be quiet.
"Anuan is treating Madam Lu. Let's talk in private for a moment."
He then gestured for him to look at Lord Lu's expression.
Upon hearing this, General Wan glanced at Lord Lu, whose face was deathly pale, and immediately covered his mouth.
Only after Li Rong and he left the main room together did he say, "You and Doctor Jiang really came? I thought those kids outside were just talking nonsense."
Li Rong: "Do you have something important to discuss with A-Nuan?"
"Yes!" General Wan immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute: "It's extremely urgent."
Seeing Li Rong frown, he added, "However, we can talk about it after Doctor Jiang is finished with his work."
After saying that, he rubbed his hands together and looked at Li Rong: "General, since you're free right now, I have something important to tell you."
Li Rong waved his hand, "If it's not urgent, let's talk about it later. I need to keep an eye on Anuan."
General Wan: "Huh?"
Then, he saw Li Rong nod at him, then go into the main hall on his own and stand straight behind the screen at the entrance of the side hall.
Just like Lord Lu beside him, he showed no less worry on his face.
General Wan couldn't help but mutter to his strategist Shen beside him, "Hey, isn't the one who's sick Lord Lu's wife? Physician Jiang is just treating her, why is the general worrying about this for no reason?"
The strategist stroked his chin and pondered for a while: "Could it be that the general also has a heart that cares for the people?"
General Wan was stunned.
The strategist then said, "Perhaps it's because you're worried about what Physician Jiang is worried about? After all, husband and wife are one."
General Wan curled his lip: "Is there anything Dr. Jiang can't cure? You're just worrying unnecessarily."
Strategist Shen: "General, why don't you go up and say a few words to the general?"
General Wan choked, his eyes widening instantly: "Why aren't you going!"
The military advisor immediately shut his mouth.
Even a general wouldn't dare do that, so why would he?
If his close friend, Dr. Jiang, were here, he might have dared to say something, but for now, it's best to leave it at that.
Inside, Jiang Nuanzhi was not as relaxed as General Wan had imagined.
Sweat was already beading on her forehead, and one of the maids beside her had fainted from fright. However, Jiang Nuanzhi and the other maid were too busy to help her, so they could only leave her lying on the ground. The other maid, however, was quite brave. Even though her hands were trembling with fear, she still followed Jiang Nuanzhi's instructions and quickly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
She remembered Jiang Nuanzhi's instructions perfectly and didn't dare to make a sound.
Jiang Nuanzhi discarded the skin and flesh. After her first attempt at excision, her hand trembled, and she was momentarily transported back to the cold operating table of her previous life, her nose filled with the smell of disinfectant.
That was the most important surgery of her life, and also the one that ended in complete failure.
The patient was a 40-year-old woman with a malignant tumor, and she still remembers her gentle face.
"Dr. Jiang, my son is graduating soon, and I want to pick him up with flowers. He's a timid child, and neither his father nor I have told him about my illness."
"Dr. Jiang, will the surgery hurt?"
"It's all thanks to Dr. Jiang that I've recovered so well."
"Dr. Jiang is the most skilled and beautiful doctor I've ever met."
"Once I've recovered, Dr. Jiang must do me the honor of coming for a meal!"
That gentle, smiling face instantly transformed into a monstrous demon, as if it wanted to devour her.
Curses, shouts, slaps landing on faces and hands
The thick bloodstains and the cold light almost tore Jiang Nuanzhi apart inch by inch.
"Dr. Jiang, Dr. Jiang..."
In a daze, Jiang Nuanzhi heard someone calling her and instantly woke up from the space filled with the smell of disinfectant. The little girl in front of her was wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and staring at her with concern.
Jiang Nuanzhi snapped back to reality in an instant. Her lips had been bitten raw, and the smell of blood filled the air. She took a deep breath and held her breath, saying, "Pour out three pills from this bottle. No, five pills, and feed them to me."
