Chapter Ninety-Nine: Life Hangs in the Balance



"I'm sorry, the patient's condition is very serious, and we are doing our best to save him." The doctor's words made Jiang Yu's mother's legs go weak, and she was supported by her husband.

"Doctor, what do you mean? Is my son seriously injured? Is his life in danger?" Jiang Yu's father asked anxiously.

"Everything is unknown right now. The patient's right leg is compressed and has a hematoma. We are trying to stop the bleeding, and it's uncertain whether the leg can be saved." The doctor's words were as heavy as a thousand pounds, weighing on everyone's hearts and making it hard to breathe.

Jiang Yu's mother couldn't bear the shock and fainted.

"Wife, wife..."

Finally, Jiang Yu's mother was also admitted to the hospital's observation room. Although his father was usually very well-mannered, at this moment he could no longer help but complain about Li Zhiyi:

"What exactly is your relationship with my son? Why did he take you home?" He is usually very busy with work, and his son is grown up, so he never asks about his son's affairs. Occasionally, when his wife talks to his son about why he doesn't find a girlfriend, his son always gives perfunctory answers, saying that he is too busy with work and doesn't want to find one. He and his wife are not old-fashioned, so they have never pressured their son.

But now, the situation is that his son was in such a serious car accident because he was with this woman, so he can no longer like Li Zhiyi.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. Don't worry, I will make sure Jiang Yu is alright. I..." Li Zhiyi was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Enough! Get out of here right now, I don't want to see you."

Because of his son's injury, he might lose both legs, and his son's favorite career will be over. His son has such a strong sense of self-esteem. If he wakes up and finds out that he has lost his legs, I wonder if he will have suicidal thoughts.

Officer Li hadn't expected things to be so serious. He buried his face in his hands and squatted on the ground, blaming himself. If he hadn't taken it upon himself to tell the captain to take Ms. Li away, this accident might not have happened.

Li Zhiyi himself felt very guilty. Now Jiang Yu's life or death was uncertain, and the doctors had been preventing them from seeing him.

She dejectedly retreated to the stairwell, hoping the doctor would bring good news.

For a moment, no one was in the mood to talk. After waiting for two full hours, the door to the intensive care unit was opened again.

The group rushed to the doctor, who shook his head and said regretfully, "The patient's leg muscles are all necrotic, severely congested, and the blood vessels have ruptured. The nervous system is also completely dead. The only way to save his life is to perform an amputation. Who is the patient's family member and can sign the consent form?"

Jiang Yu's father couldn't believe that his son would actually face the risk of amputation. He looked at the doctor in disbelief and asked, "Doctor, is there no other way? Don't worry, money is not a problem."

"No, you need to make a decision quickly. This is a critical moment. If you delay any longer, your son's life will be in danger."

Jiang Yu's father wanted to say the words about transferring to another hospital, but the words stuck in his throat, and tears dripped to the ground.

Looking at the surgical consent form handed to him by the doctor, he had no mood to read it carefully. However, the trembling of his fingers holding the pen revealed that his calmness at this moment was just a facade.

Officer Li's eyes also reddened, and he covered his face and cried silently.

"Doctor, is there really no other way?" Officer Li couldn't help but ask the doctor again.

The doctor shook his head and urged, "You need to make a decision quickly: conservative treatment or saving his life?" The doctor's meaning was clear: if they didn't amputate, he might die from excessive blood loss or from infection.

Jiang Yu's father held the pen with trembling hands. He knew that once he signed it, his son's life would be ruined, but for his son's sake, he was willing to endure his son's complaints for the rest of his life.

Because he knows his son very well, if his son knew he was going to have his leg amputated, he would definitely opt for conservative treatment, even at the cost of his life!

"Don't sign!" Li Zhiyi snatched the surgical consent form away.

No one expected her to do this.

Jiang Yu's father was so angry that he turned around and slapped Li Zhi: "Have you made enough trouble? Do you want my son to die to be happy?"

"Uncle, I can save Jiang Yu. His leg will be fine. Please believe me." Li Zhiyi's firm tone did not change Jiang Yu's father's impression of her; on the contrary, he disliked her even more!

"If you could save him, what would we need a doctor for? Do you know this is harming him? His leg is still bleeding!"

"Uncle, I believe Miss Li. If she says she can save someone, she definitely can." At this moment, Officer Li stood up to speak for Li Zhiyi. How could he forget that Miss Li was so capable, even catching ghosts, she would definitely be able to cure the sick and save people.

At this point, the doctor also got angry. He hated family members who were still dawdling at times like this! He angrily said, "You'll have to bear the consequences yourselves," and turned to leave.

Jiang Yu's father still trusted Officer Li. "Officer Li, do you mean she can treat illnesses?"

"Yes, Uncle, with her help, Jiang Yu will definitely be alright. Just trust her."

However, Jiang Yu's father still hesitated. After all, this was risking his son's life. What if it failed? He couldn't even imagine the pain of losing his son.

At this moment, the nurse told Jiang Yu's father that Ms. Yao had woken up in the ward and was demanding to see her son.

He rushed into the ward. Although Officer Li trusted Li Zhiyi, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Li, you really can save Jiang Yu, right?"

"Yes, I can. Thank you for trusting me."

Officer Li hesitated before speaking, then said, "Miss Li, I want to ask, can you save Jiang Yu's leg?" He believed she could save Jiang Yu, but he was really worried about the possibility of amputation.

"Yes, don't worry."

Officer Li recalled the time he was with her on a ship at sea, when she could control the ship with just a talisman.

"Where's our son? Honey, where's our son?"

"Honey, our son is alright, the doctors are still trying to save him."

"You lied to me, why did it take so long to resuscitate him? By the way, did you manage to save my son's leg?" Only then did she remember what the doctor had said before she fell into a coma.

The doctor then came over with the surgical consent form again. "Are you going to perform the surgery or not? The patient is still bleeding and has lost too much blood. He is now experiencing respiratory failure and could die at any moment. We can no longer guarantee his safety."

"Okay, I'll sign."
