Chapter 444 - Lu boy, please (1/2)
The medical helicopter arrives at Imperial Military Hospital as it lands on the rooftop. The doors quickly open and a man is carried out on a stretcher by two paramedics.
Already waiting for their arrival, Doctor Dong, three other doctors and nurses rush to help them. They had been notified that a man and woman were in a car collision.
”How is his condition?”
Doctor Dong asks as he nears the paramedics transferring the patient onto a hospital gurney.
”He sustained minor puncture wounds over his body, but the abrasion on his neck is unclear.”
Hearing one of the paramedics explain the situation, Doctor Dong looks down at the patient. However, when he saw the person, his pupils shook and he froze for a quick second.
Liu Shan.
The shard piece of glass that stuck on the side of Liu Shan's neck did not look deep, but working as a doctor for many years, he knows that if they don't perform surgery soon, that minor wound will become fatal.
Collecting himself together, he points in the direction of the hospital.
”Go! Bring him into the operating room!”
Wasting no time, he orders two doctors and a few nurses to bring Liu Shan in. However, he couldn't help but pray inside. He hopes that the woman mentioned is not who he thinks it is.
The same time this was happening, Lu Tian's tall figure steps out from the helicopter with Grandfather Ji and Ji Jingxu following right behind.
Doctor Dong turn to them and all the blood in his body drained. What he didn't want to believe became the truth.
In Lu Tian's arms was a woman. However, she was not any woman but the person who meant the world to the three men.
When Doctor Dong saw Yue Ling's body covered in blood, panic and fear rush into his brain. Subconsciously, he pokes his thumb with the tip of his index finger to wake himself up.
Coming back to his senses, he grabs the handle of the gurney and push it to meet them.
”Lu boy, please set her down.”
Hearing the doctor, Lu Tian did not lift his head but looks at the cold gurney then down to his wife. Hesitation flash in his eyes as his arms slightly tightens around his wife's body.
His cold demeanor was replace with one of a lost child not wanting to give up his most precious toy.
The reason why he wouldn't let her go was not because he didn't trust them, but because he is afraid.
When he pulled her out of the car, her pulse was so weak that he was barely able to feel it. Even her usual warm temperature was slowly turning cold to the touch.
If he set her down, she would not receive any warmth but become colder and colder.
Seeing Lu Tian look this way, Grandfather Ji felt a sharp stab in his chest. This is the first time he has ever seen the boy lose his composure. However, seeing his granddaughter's almost lifeless body, he carefully place his hand on the boy's shoulder not to frighten him.
”Son, we're at the hospital. Let the doctors help her.”
Lu Tian's trembling hands slightly tightens before reluctantly placing her on the gurney. His head finally lifts, and everyone was able to see the redness around his eyes.
His eyes that were always cold and soulless now held pleading.
”Save them… Please save my wife and child.”
