Chapter 212 She has a secret in her heart
Xiao Zhenwu's breathing seemed to have calmed down a little.
Not long after, the sound of a rapid car engine was heard outside the door.
A military green jeep was parked steadily at the door.
The one driving was Ye Zhiyao.
He ran into the house with an anxious look on his face.
His voice was trembling: "Brother Yu! How is Envoy Xiao?!"
Xiao Zhiyu frowned and just shook his head solemnly.
"Stop talking, go to the hospital!"
Only then did Ye Zhiyao realize the seriousness of the situation and immediately stepped forward to help.
The two of them worked together and carefully lifted Xiao Zhenwu into the car.
The car's engine roared as it sped towards the nearest industrial zone headquarters.
Ruan Chuxia and Guo Huaqin also got into the car.
Xiao Zhiyu supported his father, fearing that he would get hurt due to the bumps.
Ruan Chuxia sat on the other side, next to Xiao's father.
Her eyes were fixed on his breathing and pulse.
Every few seconds, he would gently feel Xiao's father's breath.
Afraid of missing any sign of abnormality.
To get to the nearest hospital from the courtyard, you have to go through the city center.
It is lunchtime now and the streets are crowded with people.
The jeep was struggling to make its way through the chaos.
What’s worse is that many people walk absent-mindedly and don’t even look at the cars when crossing the road.
A middle school student in school uniform was walking and watching short videos when he was almost hit by the front of a car. The driver Ye Zhiyao swerved the steering wheel to avoid it.
Veins popped out on his forehead and his knuckles turned white.
The road, which was not wide to begin with, was suddenly completely blocked.
A delivery truck ahead suddenly broke down and was stuck in the middle of the road, creating a chaotic traffic jam.
Traffic almost came to a standstill, as if trapped by an invisible net.
“Beep—”
“Beep—”
“Beep—”
Ye Zhiyao was extremely anxious and kept honking the horn, but no one gave way.
“Damn it!”
After another sudden brake, he couldn't help but curse.
The rear end of the car slightly rubbed against the car behind due to the sudden braking, making a dull "bang" sound, but he no longer cared about that.
He turned his head to look in the rearview mirror.
Xiao Zhiyu anxiously supported his father.
Ruan Chuxia's face was pale.
Guo Huaqin held the handrail tightly, her eyes showing helplessness and worry.
His heart felt like it was being weighed down by a huge rock, making it hard for him to breathe.
Xiao Zhiyu glanced outside the car.
He estimated that it took about ten minutes to walk there.
It may take nearly half an hour to wait for the traffic jam to pass.
The longer it takes, the greater the risk to the father.
He immediately opened the car door and said something.
"You guys drive and follow me, I'll run over first carrying Dad on my back!"
His movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation.
He helped Mr. Xiao up from his seat and carried him on his shoulders to ensure that he would not fall.
Xiao Zhiyu gritted his teeth and took steady steps.
Ruan Chuxia jumped out of the car without saying a word.
"I'll go with you!"
She immediately caught up with Xiao Zhiyu.
She pulled her cell phone from her pocket and called the hospital's emergency department, quickly explaining the situation and requesting emergency equipment and doctors be on standby.
Ye Zhiyao instinctively wanted to open the car door.
But just as he was about to get out of the car, his peripheral vision caught sight of Guo Huaqin in the back seat.
He froze suddenly, oh no!
He is the driver!
If he gets out of the car, who will drive after him?
This car can't stop!
He slammed the steering wheel hard, feeling anxious and angry.
He watched Xiao Zhiyu and Ruan Chuxia go further and further away.
I was extremely anxious but couldn't get away.
Guo Huaqin understood his difficulties.
She knew that the most important thing she couldn't lose at this moment was her calmness.
She gently held Ye Zhiyao's arm.
The voice was soft but firm: "Don't worry, Zhiyao, we will take our time and we will get there."
Ye Zhiyao turned around and looked at her.
I could read trust and support in her eyes.
He nodded slowly, sat up straight again, and while paying attention to the road conditions ahead, he slowly stepped on the accelerator, looking for a gap in the traffic flow, and moved forward step by step.
…
Hospital, outside the emergency room.
Xiao Zhiyu slumped on the bench, breathing heavily.
He stared at the emergency room door with a red light on, his heart in a mess.
The red light flickered, like some ominous omen.
He kept thinking back to the moment his father fell.
That face that instantly lost its color.
And the panic when I rushed into the house...
If we were faster, could we have avoided all this?
Ruan Chuxia walked over and gently held his head in her arms.
Her palm stroked the back of his head, soothing him gently. Her voice was like the wind on a spring night.
"Don't worry, Dad is very strong and will be fine."
Xiao Zhiyu hugged her waist with his backhand, as if he was grabbing his only support.
His voice was muffled, carrying a long-suppressed fragility: "Xiao Xia, just now... you weren't sure either, right?"
Ruan Chuxia was stunned, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Um?"
Xiao Zhiyu was silent for a few seconds and buried his head deeper.
"Inside the house...I saw your hands were shaking."
The slight tremor was like a thorn, piercing his heart.
He remembers it clearly.
Ruan Chuxia's fingertips trembled slightly when she checked her father's pulse.
But he caught it keenly.
She was not a doctor, and he saw all her nervousness and uncertainty at that moment.
His intuition had long been tempered by war and life and death to become extremely sharp.
What's more, what is at stake now is his father's life.
He had been holding it in until now.
That sudden feeling of suffocation.
It almost made him lose his voice on the spot.
He dug his nails into his palms, using the pain to force himself to calm down.
He couldn't panic, at least not in front of her.
But the string in my heart has already been stretched to its limit.
Finally, after a long silence, he slowly spoke.
If other doctors couldn't cure his father, he wouldn't panic at all.
He has plenty of resources and means.
He is not afraid of spending money or taking trouble, what he is afraid of is not even having the chance to try.
But if even Ruan Chuxia said there was nothing she could do...
The three words "there's no way" were like a huge rock, pressing heavily on his chest.
Ruan Chuxia is not an ordinary doctor, she is a medical genius.
At the age of only 30, he had performed hundreds of difficult heart surgeries.
Her judgment often represents the final truth.
Even she shook her head, which means that modern medicine may be powerless.
That kind of despair, like a cold tide, surged up from the soles of my feet.
All his rationality and strength were instantly overwhelmed.
Ruan Chuxia trembled slightly, then sighed softly.
She noticed his change in mood and understood the weight of that glance.
It’s not that she didn’t think about hiding it, but she knew that any disguise would be futile for someone like Xiao Zhiyu.
How could she forget that the man in front of her was the "King of Soldiers".
He once judged the enemy's movements on the battlefield with just a glance.
He once captured the slightest movement in the hail of bullets and saved the entire team.
How could a person like that be fooled by a little trick of a doctor like her?
She shouldn't feel guilty, but unfortunately, she has a secret in her heart.
"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's just... I'm too worried."
She tried to keep her tone calm and without any emotion.
But she knew that her fingers were still trembling slightly.
It was a struggle between professional instinct and emotional involvement.
