Lin Yuexi took a deep breath, adjusted her state, quickly put on sterile gloves, gave the little boy an anesthetic injection, and then picked up the scalpel.
Under the illumination of the shadowless lamp, the scalpel in her hand fell precisely. Every movement was smooth and decisive, as if she was having a thrilling battle with the god of death.
Gong Mufeng watched the progress of the operation nervously and handed over various medical instruments according to Lin Yuexi's instructions.
Inside the operating room, the atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating. The only sounds were the ticking of the instruments and Lin Yuexi's steady commands.
As time passed, more and more sweat appeared on Lin Yuexi's forehead. Her arms were shaking slightly from maintaining high concentration for a long time, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
Finally, after several hours of hard work, Lin Yuexi successfully stopped the little boy's internal bleeding and repaired the damaged organs.
She straightened up tiredly, took off her mask, took a long breath, and said: "The operation was successful. He can't move out of the space next. The environment on the island is too bad. But when he wakes up, he will definitely leave the space automatically. Now we can only hope that Xiao Yichen will send someone over quickly!"
Gong Mufeng patted Lin Yuexi's shoulder gently and said distressedly: "Yuexi, you've worked hard. Go and have a rest. I'll be here to guard you."
Lin Yuexi looked tired and shook her head wearily. Her eyes were fixed on the little boy on the operating table as if attracted by a magnet. She said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'll observe him for a while until his condition stabilizes. Go find something to eat first, then take a shower, change your clothes, and find some children's clothes for him to change into!"
"Yuexi, aren't you afraid that the rescue team will come and find out something is wrong with us..." Gong Mufeng frowned, his eyes full of worry. Once the secret of the space is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous.
Lin Yuexi sighed, looking helpless but determined: "I can't take care of so many things. It's important to make the child comfortable. Besides, it's still raining heavily outside. The rescue team won't come so quickly. Wait, I'll wash and dry these dirty clothes before wearing them out. I'll deliberately make the clothes a little dirty so that no one will suspect me when I go out."
"Okay! You should be careful too. I'll go first. Remember to change your clothes..." Although Gong Mufeng was still a little worried, he also knew that Lin Yuexi had made up her mind, so he could only give her a few words of advice.
"Hmm..." Lin Yuexi responded softly, the fatigue in her voice becoming more and more obvious.
Gong Mufeng turned around and hurried to find clothes and food, his footsteps echoing in the empty space.
Lin Yuexi only then truly felt that she was extremely tired. Recalling the past two days and two nights, she had been running non-stop on the road to find and save people, and her spirit was always highly tense.
Now, once I relax, all the bones in my body feel like they are falling apart, every inch of my muscles is screaming with soreness, and even lifting a finger feels difficult.
By the time Gong Mufeng found some steaming hot food, changed into dry and clean clothes and hurried over, the operating room was extremely quiet.
I saw Lin Yuexi had fallen asleep on the sofa in the operating room. Her hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks. There were still traces of rain and sweat on her face. Her brows were slightly wrinkled even in her sleep, as if she was still worried about the little boy's condition.
When Gong Mufeng saw this, his heart ached and he could no longer care about the child.
He tiptoed to Lin Yuexi's side, his movements as gentle as if he were treating a rare treasure, picked her up gently, and walked towards the master bedroom of the space villa.
When they arrived at the master bedroom of the villa, he carefully took off her wet clothes and changed her into dry and comfortable pajamas. Then, after placing Lin Yuexi on the soft big bed, he carefully tucked in the quilt for her before turning back to the operating room.
Back in the operating room, Gong Mufeng came to the operating table and looked at the little boy lying quietly on it, his eyes full of pity.
He also gently helped the child change into clean and soft clothes, carried the child to the bed next to the operating table, covered him with a quilt, and adjusted him to a comfortable sleeping position.
After doing all this, Gong Mufeng felt that all his strength was drained. His legs went limp and he fell directly onto the sofa, falling into a deep sleep in an instant.
For a moment, the whole space was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, with only the sound of even breathing gently echoing in the air.
The three of them fell into a deep sleep in the space. In the quiet atmosphere, only the even breathing sound rose and fell gently. Fortunately, the flow of time in the space was different from that in the outside world, and it passed much slower than outside.
When she heard the faint sound of rescue from the island outside, Lin Yuexi slowly woke up. She opened her eyes dazedly, and what she saw was the familiar and warm layout of the villa's master bedroom.
In an instant, she understood that Gong Mufeng must have felt sorry for her sleeping uncomfortably on the sofa in the operating room, so after his busy work, he carefully carried her to the soft big bed.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuexi's mouth corners unconsciously rose, and a warm current surged in her heart.
She stood up gently, put on a coat, tiptoed out of the room and walked towards the operating room.
When I opened the door, I saw Gong Mufeng leaning on the sofa and sleeping. His face was relaxed with a bit of fatigue, but his brows were still slightly wrinkled, as if he couldn't let go of the worries in his heart even in his dreams.
Lin Yuexi turned her gaze to the operating table again. The boy on the table was breathing steadily and his face was no longer as pale as before. It seemed that he had successfully passed the critical period. Seeing this scene, Lin Yuexi's heart finally settled down.
At this moment, Xiao Yichen's anxious shouts on the island outside penetrated the layers of rain and came in clearly. The sound almost echoed throughout the entire island: "Is there anyone there? Please respond if you hear me!"
Lin Yuexi knew clearly that she couldn't let the rescuers wait too long. Time was running out and they had to leave the space and return to reality as soon as possible.
So, she walked lightly to Gong Mufeng, bent down, and called softly: "Mufeng, Mufeng, wake up, the rescue team is here."
Gong Mufeng woke up slowly, and in a daze, he caught Xiao Yichen's urgent cry that pierced through the space.
He subconsciously listened carefully, and after confirming that there was no doubt about it, he sat up suddenly. At the same time, he also noticed that there was no sound of raindrops outside the window. The rain stopped, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds, casting a few rays of light.
"Mu Feng, hurry up, the rescue team is here!" Lin Yuexi said as she walked swiftly to where the clothes were placed.
The two men moved quickly, their eyes fixed on the clothes they had changed out of earlier.
Although these clothes had not been washed, they had dried quietly in the space. However, they were covered with mud and water stains left over from the previous flood, making them look worn and dirty.
