Chapter 71 Rescue
When the two arrived at the hospital, Zhang Shuai had already entered the emergency room, and Li Baiwan was sitting at the door of the emergency room, not knowing who he was talking to on the phone, and he looked very bad.
As soon as he saw Tian Xin coming, he hung up the phone and his expression returned to normal.
"How is it? What did the doctor say?" Tian Xin grabbed Li Baiwan and asked.
"He's seriously injured and is being treated. Whether he can be saved depends entirely on his luck!"
"What did you say..." Tian Xin collapsed when she heard this and almost fell down. Lin Zhou quickly supported her.
"How could this happen? How could something like this happen?"
"How should I know? He's been driving that road for so long. Who knows what happened today? Why did he turn back before he even got out?"
"Back? You mean he didn't drive out and came back?"
"Yeah! Maybe if we don't come back, nothing will happen?"
"What happened? Have you found out?"
"The car has been towed away! Luckily, no other cars were hit at the scene. He just crashed into the hill! I think he's entirely responsible for this! As for the rest, we'll have to wait for the accident investigation results to come out!"
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, Zhang Shuai was too reckless in this matter. His family hasn't come yet, and we can't explain it. Let's suppress it first and save the person first!"
"What are you talking about?" Tian Xin was furious. "Even if he has no family, this matter must be investigated thoroughly."
"Girl, listen to me. It's the end of the year now, and the higher-ups are investigating. We're just a small factory, so don't make a big fuss! Half of our hundred-plus employees are from the village. Are you going to make them all unemployed?"
"Director Li, Zhang Shuai is your employee, a human life. Now he is lying in there with his life or death unknown. Not only do you not want to investigate this matter, but you are also using everyone to pressure me. Li Baiwan, if it was your son lying in there today, would you still be so cold-blooded?" Tian Xin shouted at Li Baiwan.
"Why are you shouting? This is the emergency room, we need quiet. If you want to shout, go ahead!" A nurse came out of the emergency room and interrupted the quarrel.
Tian Xin quickly ran over and grabbed the nurse and asked, "Nurse, how is Zhang Shuai now? I beg you, you must save him!"
"Are any of you the patient's family member? Come and sign!" The nurse looked at several people holding a form.
"Sign...what?" Tian Xin asked tremblingly.
"The patient is in critical condition, with multiple fractures and organ damage. We are doing our utmost to save him. Please be mentally prepared! This is the informed consent form for surgery. If possible, please sign it. Also, this is the critical illness notice. Please take a look!"
"What preparations are you making? You're doctors!" Tian Xin grabbed the nurse's hand and shouted excitedly, "It's your responsibility to save the dying and the wounded. What preparations do you want me to make? You have to save him..."
Tian Xin grabbed the nurse tightly and refused to let go, shouting and crying. Lin Zhou and Li Baiwan quickly pulled her away.
"Tian Xin, don't do this. Let go of the nurses first. They will definitely save people!"
"I beg you, you must save him... You must save him..." Tian Xin held the nurse tightly and almost knelt down to the nurse!
"Tian Xin, don't be like this, get up first! The doctor will definitely save him! Don't be afraid!" Lin Zhou let go of Tian Xin's hand that was holding the nurse, and pulled her aside to sit down!
"Someone of you come over and sign, so as not to delay our operation!" the nurse said again.
Tian Xin couldn't control her tears. Li Baiwan and Lin Zhou were not family members and could not sign, so they did not move.
"Aren't any of you family members?"
"It's me!" Tian Xin spoke with difficulty.
"Then you come and sign!"
Tian Xin stood up and took the pen from the nurse. Her hands trembled as she read the words "critical illness notice." Tears dripped onto the "family signature" section. She wrote just a stroke before she couldn't help sobbing, her hands too weak to continue.
"Please hurry up! Don't delay the patient's treatment!" the nurse urged.
Lin Zhou glanced at Tian Xin, picked up a pen and signed his name.
"Also, the patient's injuries are severe, and the surgery is extremely difficult. The total cost is approximately 150,000 yuan. You and your family should discuss this. If you have no objections, please sign here and pay the fee as soon as possible! Don't delay follow-up treatment!"
"150,000..." Tian Xin was stumped by the number "150,000" before she could recover from the blow of being critically ill.
She turned around and looked at Li Baiwan: "Director..."
"Girl, I've already paid for the rescue! His family has to pay the rest..."
"He has no family now, so just think of it as me borrowing it from you...is that okay?" Tian Xin turned her head away in disappointment, not wanting to look at Li Baiwan again.
"Girl, you're putting it in a difficult position. I can't come up with it right away..."
"Stop talking, let me do it!" Lin Zhou took out a card and stuffed it into Tian Xin's hand. "Tian Xin, take it! Don't worry about the money!" He said softly, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Lin Zhou, this has nothing to do with you, don't..."
"Don't say anything, I understand! Saving people first is the most important thing! We can talk about other things later!" Lin Zhou interrupted Tian Xin, held her hand and looked at her firmly.
Tian Xin couldn't hold it in anymore, she lowered her head and covered her face and cried bitterly.
Lin Zhou gently stroked her hair and said softly: "The money in the card is enough to pay for the surgery and the subsequent nutrition expenses! Don't worry. I will be here with you, don't be afraid!"
"I...I will definitely return it to you..." Tian Xin burst into tears.
The operation lasted for three hours and was not over yet. Doctors and nurses came and went in a hurry. Every time someone came out, Tian Xin rushed over to ask what was going on. The answer she got was always: still trying to save the patient.
As time passed, Tian Xin's torment only intensified. A fierce struggle was brewing within her.
A voice told her: Don't be afraid, as long as the operation is not over, it means the person is fine and can be rescued.
Another voice told her: Be prepared mentally, because maybe in the next second, the doctor will tell her: Please accept my condolences, we have tried our best!
Two voices kept churning in her heart, and she felt like she was hallucinating.
She saw Zhang Shuai standing in front of her unharmed, calling her as usual: Boss!
"Boss, let's go eat some mutton skewers. I know there's a really authentic one in the county town!"
"Boss, I want to give you a gift!"
"Boss, I'm going to buy you some candy cakes. Try them, they're still hot!"
"Boss, just treat me as your brother!"
"Boss, you just called me brother, were you serious?"
"Boss, I can't protect you anymore!"
"Boss, I'm leaving, take care of yourself!"
Zhang Shuai disappeared!
"Don't go...!" Tian Xin suddenly woke up!
It was just a dream!
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Zhou hugged Tian Xin and looked at her nervously.
"how's it going?"
"He hasn't come out yet! It's okay, as long as he hasn't come out, it means they are still rescuing him and he will be fine. Don't worry..." Lin Zhou held Tian Xin's hand and comforted her.
"Yes, it'll be okay, it will definitely be okay!" Tian Xin clenched Lin Zhou's hand.
"Snap—" the indicator light in the operating room suddenly went out!
"Operation in progress" became "Operation completed"!
Tian Xin's heart suddenly rose to her throat!
