After returning to the military family compound that night, Fan Hua lay in bed, unable to fall asleep. She really wanted to know how Zhao Yilu was doing now.
However, the conditions at the front were difficult, and Zhao Yilu was always busy preparing for war, so it was not convenient for him to contact her. In the past three months, she only received two letters reporting her safety.
It was not until the second half of the night that Fan Hua fell asleep because of a severe headache caused by staying up late.
That night, she dreamed again of the battle that injured Zhao Yilu, and Zhao Yilu was still injured and fell in the forest...
Fan Hua was awakened again, her whole body covered in cold sweat. She was tightly grasping a corner of the quilt in her hands, and her palms were full of sweat.
Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, quietly sprinkling into the house, but it could not dispel the worries in Fan Hua's heart.
"It's this dream again... Is it possible that Zhao Yilu's fate cannot be reversed?" Fan Hua murmured to herself, with a hint of worry in her voice.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door in the yard.
Fan Huaxin was immediately reminded, who would knock on the door in the middle of the night? She inexplicably had a bad premonition in her heart!
Fan Hua quickly put on her clothes and went out to open the door.
The person who came was Captain Lu's communicator Xiao Li. His tone was full of anxiety: "Comrade Fan, Captain Zhao is back..."
Fan Hua's eyes lit up at first, but when she saw Xiao Li's expression, her heart instantly tightened again.
"Where is Captain Zhao?" Fan Hua asked in a calm voice.
"At the Yangcheng Military Region Hospital, he just got off the plane. I heard that he was seriously injured in the leg when he was on a mission to encircle and suppress an important enemy leader. Because the medical conditions on the front line are too poor, he was urgently airlifted to Yangcheng." Communicator Xiao Li said immediately.
Fan Hua suddenly felt dizzy, her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately she grabbed the door frame in time.
She forced herself to calm down, but her voice still trembled: "How is the injury? Is it serious?"
Xiao Li's eyes were also filled with worry, and he stammered, "I'm not too sure, I just heard that his leg was injured... It seems to be quite serious and requires emergency surgery... The commander will go to the hospital to see Captain Zhao in a while, so I came to tell you, you should get ready, you can go with him in the commander's car."
"No need, I'll drive over there myself now!"
After saying that, Fan Hua could no longer care about anything else and turned around and rushed into the house. She knocked on Aunt Chu's door in a hurry, briefly told Aunt Chu about the situation, then quickly packed two sets of Zhao Yilu's home clothes and toiletries, took the car keys, and rushed out the door in a panic.
Along the way, Fan Hua's mind was filled with the image of Zhao Yilu. Even though she had seen his broken leg in her dreams, when she really faced him, Fan Hua still found it hard to accept and felt so heartbroken that she felt like she was suffocating.
How could the soldier king who ran dozens of miles to see her and carried her on his back on the mountain road without getting out of breath really have a broken leg? !
Fan Hua kept praying in her heart, hoping that this was all a false alarm!
She drove quickly to the military hospital, trotted to the guide desk, and asked the nurse about Zhao Yilu's condition.
"You are the family member of the officer who was injured in the leg just now. He is still in the operating room. You can wait outside the operating room. It is on the eastern side of the second floor..."
Upon hearing this, Fan Hua nodded and immediately walked towards the operating room.
The corridor was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant. Her heart was in a knot and she squatted weakly in the corner outside the operating room.
After a while, Commander Lu and Captain Jiang came over. When they saw Fan Hua, Commander Lu stepped forward to comfort her, "Comrade Fan, don't worry too much. Xiao Zhao is still young, and his leg will surely heal soon!"
"Also, I have just received a notification from the front line that Xiao Zhao's performance as a leader was particularly outstanding this time, especially in the last battle. He not only annihilated the main force of the enemy, but also captured the leader of the enemy. I am afraid that after this blow, Yue will never dare to invade China's border again! After Xiao Zhao recovers from his injury, he will definitely be given a special commendation!"
Fan Hua nodded expressionlessly. She really didn't want to say anything more. She admitted that she was being selfish at the moment. She didn't have such a high level of awareness. What was there to be happy about when Zhao Yilu exchanged his health for the honor? She would rather Zhao Yilu not be promoted or commended, or even that the Kingdom of Yue would withdraw its troops later. As long as he was still healthy, it would be fine!
Seeing Fan Hua's look, Chief Lu didn't know what to say. He sighed, asked the nurse to help her sit on the chair, and he and Captain Jiang sat on the bench on the other side of the operating room.
After an unknown amount of time, the door of the operating room finally swayed slowly. Fan Hua stood up suddenly, staring at the door, her heart in her throat.
The doctor slowly walked out, pushing Zhao Yilu, who was still lying unconscious on the bed.
Fan Hua stood up and rushed forward, asking anxiously, "Doctor, how is he?"
The doctor took off his mask, revealing a slightly tired face. He said, "The operation was successful, but because the bullet injured the bone, it will take a long time for his leg to recover. He must take good care of himself during this period and cannot do any strenuous exercise."
Fan Hua was stunned for a moment, afraid that she didn't hear clearly, and asked again: "Doctor, what did you just say?"
The doctor thought Fan Hua was too worried and nervous to hear clearly, so he smiled gently and said again: "The two bullets in his legs have been taken out. Fortunately, no important nerves were damaged. If he takes good care of himself, he will be fully recovered in two or three months!"
Fan Hua burst into laughter and couldn't help but cover her mouth with both hands excitedly, tears instantly slid down her cheeks.
She couldn't help but murmur to herself, "That's great, it's just a gunshot wound, not an explosion... That's great..."
Commander Lu and Captain Jiang on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been a shame if such a good seedling were really disabled. Fortunately, he was only injured.
He smiled and said to Fan Hua, "Comrade Xiao Fan, you have been working hard to take good care of Xiao Zhao in the past few months. Don't let Xiao Zhao get sick. The army still needs such an excellent comrade. I will approve three months of leave for Xiao Zhao later. If it is not enough, you can apply for it later. You must wait until he is fully recovered before returning to the army!"
Fan Hua smiled and replied, "Thank you, Chief. I promise to take good care of you along the way."
Seeing that Fan Hua was going to stay to take care of Zhao Yilu, Commander Lu nodded with relief and said, "Then Captain Jiang and I will leave first. If you need any help, just tell the troops directly. The troops will never mistreat a combat hero!"
Fan Hua nodded and saluted Commander Lu with a standard military salute. Everything was said without words...
