1312 Let Me Save You (1/2)

Gu Xijiu did not know how to respond. It was no wonder that they said it was difficult to be a female doctor. If a man had to be responsible for her every time she took a look at his body, she would have nothing else to do than get married all the time, one man after another.

”It is unnecessary. If you speak another word, I will make sure you lose your arm.”

Her words were able to stop Baili Ce from talking.

Gu Xijiu worried that he would struggle when she was operating on him, so she fed him a dose of traditional anesthetic after putting him onto the table. She also suppressed some of his acupuncture points.

The traditional anesthetic was made from a herbal concoction according to the modern aesthetic. Although it might not work as wonderfully as modern drugs, it still worked. The patients would stay conscious, but the pain would be significantly reduced.

To reconnect one's arm required delicate handwork. In order to avoid any interference, she locked door.

When she was finally ready to begin, suddenly, she could hear Lu Wu scratching the door and calling out for her.

Gu Xijiu was incredibly irritated, especially after all that had happened that day. She could hardly calm herself down. Hence, Lu Wu's interference at the door irritated her even further. She could not hold back her irritation and shouted, ”Lu Wu, behave yourself! I am about to operate on a patient and should never be distracted. If you disturb me anymore, I will abandon you.”

Her threat was working. The scratching stopped.

…

In another recovery room, Di Fuyi tried to stay awake. He knew about his injury, so he required the mussel to perform its first task. ”Go and call your master.”

The mussel was occupied, so it decided to send Lu Wu. Lu Wu knew clearly how important the task was, so it went away immediately.

However, it came back to Di Fuyi looking dejected as it bowed its head in dismay. It cried out frantically at the sight of the mussel.

Perplexed, the mussel turned to look at Di Fuyi. ”Lu Wu told me that she is now operating on somebody else, so she cannot come here.”

Di Fuyi's eyes darkened.
