Chapter 57: I Can Save Her! (1/2)

When he arrived on the third floor where the emergency operating room was, there were three people sitting outside. One of them was Peng Dahai, while the other two were a couple. They were most likely Han Xue’s parents.

At that moment, the middle-aged woman started crying and throwing a tantrum at the middle-aged man, ”Sob, I told you before, not to let her go and become a policewoman. See! Now she had an accident. If our daughter were to die because of this, I don’t want to continue living anymore. Sob! Sob! Sob!”

“Alright. Stop crying. Now isn’t the time to talk about such things. We should wait for the doctor to come out of the operating room first!” The man said helplessly.

“Chief Peng,” Cheng Yu went forward and greeted Peng Dahai.

“Oh! It’s Young Master Yu. You have arrived so quickly. Come over. Let me introduce you. This is Han Xue’s father, Han Liwen. He’s the City Organization department’s vice chairman, and also one of the municipal committee members. Beside him is Han Xue’s mother, Hu Qiman. As for this young man here, he’s Mayor Zhao’s nephew, Cheng Yu, and he’s Han Xue’s friend.” When Peng Dahai saw Cheng Yu arrive, he introduced them to each other.

“Hi, Uncle and Auntie. Both of you should stop worrying. Han Xue will be fine.”

“Hello. Thank you, Mr. Cheng,” Han Liwen said.

“Uncle and Auntie can just call me Xiao Yu. Calling me Cheng Yu makes it seem as if I’m an outsider. How long has Han Xue been in there? When will she be out?”

“Thank you Xiao Yu for coming over to visit Xiao Xue at this time. She has been in there for more than 40 minutes. We don’t know how much longer it will take.” Hu Qiman sobbed while her face was filled with sadness.

“You are welcome, Auntie. I am Han Xue’s friend. Coming to visit her is something that I should do. Auntie should stop feeling sad. We should wait for the news from the doctor. Han Xue will definitely be fine.”

“En.”

The four of them sat down on two benches and no longer talked. The only sound that was heard was Hu Qiman’s sobbing.

5 minutes later, a doctor and nurse came out of the operation room.

The doctor’s forehead was full of sweat while he removed his surgical mask. He looked at the four of them with a grim expression, ”Who’s the patient’s family?”

“I am, I am,” Hu Qiman said hurriedly.

“The patient is in a critical state right now. The bullet pierced too deeply into the body and has entered her heart. It was stuck between the heart and the aorta. This caused a huge amount of blood loss. The patient’s condition right now is very unstable. Her heart has also started to show signs of failure. The risk for the operation is very high and I need your consent before I can proceed with the operation.”

“What do you mean doctor? Are you telling me that my daughter will die? Doctor, I beg you, you definitely have to save my daughter!” Hu Qiman started to sob again.

“We can only try our best and request that you guys prepare for the worst outcome. Frankly speaking, in such circumstances, for the patient to have lasted until now is already a miracle. Normally, if there is any patient who faced such a situation, they would have already died on the way here.” Regarding this patient, the doctor also felt very strange. Even though the bullet had already pierced the aorta, the blood didn’t gush out like it was supposed to. Although the patient had lost a huge amount of blood, it was very obvious that it was not according to the scientific theories. He truly could not understand how such a thing could possibly happen.

“Doctor, what is the chance of success with this operation?” Han Liwen asked nervously.

“Judging from the current situation, the chances of the patient surviving are around 10%. Because of the huge amount of blood loss, the patient has already entered shock.”

“What?! Only 10%? Doesn’t this mean that she’s likely to die? No way! Doctor, I beg you. I don’t care what method you use, you must save my daughter. As long as you are able to save my daughter, I can pay you any amount!” When they heard what the doctor said, all of them were shocked. With a 10% probability, wouldn’t that mean death? Hu Qiman grabbed the doctor as she wept and wailed loudly.

“Please calm down. We have no other choice. The chances of a mishap happening in such circumstances are very high. We are also facing a huge amount of pressure. If we don’t carry on with the operation, the patient would at most last for another 20 minutes. We can only risk it now. Therefore, I hope all of you will be able to understand. If you are able to accept the risk, then please go and sign the consent form for us to carry out the operation. The patient’s situation is not optimistic. Every second counts.”

“Alright. I get what you mean. What you are trying to say is that it isn’t within your ability to save her, right?” At this moment, Cheng Yu accused the doctor.
