Chapter 425: Another Unforseen Event!
Su Wan’s eyes turned red. She had never seen Xie Changfeng like this.
The man who was as dignified as a mountain at all times could not help but break down when faced with the matter of the life and death of his wife.
In Su Wan’s mind, her grandfather had a very rigid and serious old-fashioned image.
When she was young, Su Wan never dared say much in front of Xie Changfeng, being afraid that her grandfather would hit her palm with a small board.
However, although her grandfather was a little cold and serious, had a bad temper, and was a bit of a chauvinist, he was really good to Lin Xuan.
For so many years, Xie Changfeng and Lin Xuan were still as close as ever. They supported each other when walking down the stairs. The two of them almost never quarreled. Occasionally, when they quarreled, Xie Changfeng would always give in first.
But now, Lin Xuan was lying in the operating room, unconscious.
Su Wan’s heart ached. She glanced at Xie Changfeng’s solemn expression and held back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes.
“Grandfather… grandmother is still in the emergency room. Zhaohua Hospital has the best doctors and the most advanced equipment. Grandmother will definitely get better.”
As Su Wan said this, her expression could not help but become blurred. She did not know whether these words were for comforting Xie Changfeng or for comforting herself.
Xie Changfeng took a deep breath. He swept his gaze across the emergency room’s red light, which indicated that they were in the midst of surgery. Then, he shifted his gaze back to Su Wan.
He looked at Su Wan and could not help but feel a sharp pain in his nose. He had always liked to say that a man would not easily shed tears, but at this moment, he actually felt like crying.
Xie Changfeng’s voice was a little shaky, and his breathing suddenly became a little hurried.
“Your grandmother… was she really shot?”
As Xie Changfeng said this, his heart tightened, and his face suddenly turned a few shades paler. In that aged voice, there was not only shock, but also heartache.
Lin Xuan was a person who was very afraid of pain. Usually, when she cut vegetables, her hand would hurt terribly, but this time, she was shot!
This was a peaceful and prosperous era, and Jiuzhou had completely banned the circulation of weapons, so how could anyone carry a gun!
Hearing Xie Changfeng’s words, Su Wan’s heart began to ache again. She clenched her teeth slightly, suddenly not daring to meet Xie Changfeng’s gaze.
It was all because of her…
If it wasn’t for her, how would grandmother have taken that shot?
Su Wan’s legs went weak and she almost couldn’t stand. It was Jiang Xuecheng by her side who quickly supported her.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan’s sorrowful face and knew that she was blaming herself again, so he immediately answered on her behalf.
“Grandfather, yes… but the part that was shot was the abdomen, not a fatal area. What happens next will depend on… Grandfather, don’t worry, please sit down first.”
Jiang Xuecheng couldn’t continue. If the person who was shot was a young person with a strong body and strong will to survive, they would definitely not be like this.
With Lin Xuan’s condition, the chances of survival were only 50-50. The rest was up to fate…
Jiang Xuecheng’s deep voice entered his ears, and Xie Changfeng’s expression became even more unsightly.
Although Jiang Xuecheng did not say it directly, from Su Wan’s and his expression, Xie Changfeng had already guessed most of it.
Xie Changfeng’s heart felt as if thousands of soldiers and horses were galloping over it, trampling on his rationality.
He staggered a little. Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng wanted to help him, but Xie Changfeng quickly waved his hand to indicate that there was no need. His expression froze, and his pale lips parted.
“How long has she been in there?”
Su Wan saw Xie Changfeng’s worried and anxious expression, and her heart became increasingly uncomfortable. Her heart was so sad that she could not bear to look at him, so she could only lower her eyelids.
“It’s been almost two hours…”
Two Hours…
It’s already been so long. I’m afraid the results of the resuscitation will be out soon…
Xie Changfeng’s heart suddenly ached. He looked at the red light outside the emergency room without blinking. His entire heart was like duckweed in the water, not staying at a stable place.
If he had known that something like this would happen at elder Jiang’s birthday banquet, why would he bring Lin Xuan here?!
When Xu Ziyao sent someone over with the invitation, Xie Changfeng was very happy. He thought that since Chang Xin University was having its summer break, he could bring Lin Xuan to S City for a little while longer.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, things would take a turn for the worse and turn into this situation!
Xie Changfeng suppressed the pain in his heart and silently watched the lamp in front of the emergency room, waiting for it to turn from red to green.
Nothing will happen. Nothing will happen…
Xie Changfeng lowered his eyes and did not ask about the birthday banquet. The most important thing now was that Lin Xuan could be successfully resuscitated…
At the entrance of the emergency room, Su Wan, Jiang Xuecheng, and Xie Changfeng stood nervously at the door and looked up.
Time seemed to have been slowed down by God. Every minute and every second was so torturous.
Suddenly, the door of the emergency room was opened, and a female doctor in a white coat walked out.
Although the other party was wearing a mask, it could be seen from her eyes and eyebrows that she had just performed a medical treatment and was very tired.
Xie Changfeng, Su Wan, and the others immediately went up to her. Xie Changfeng looked at the female doctor nervously, and there was indescribable anxiety in his eyes.
“Doctor, doctor, how is my wife?”
Because he was too anxious, Xie Changfeng even stuttered a little…
Su Wan nervously gripped Jiang Xuecheng’s hand. She stared at the female doctor with both anticipation and fear, afraid that she would give a bad answer.
The female doctor slowly took off her mask. She swept her gaze across the three people present and said softly,
“Fortunately, the patient was sent here in time. The bullet did not hit any vital parts. After our initial resuscitation, the patient has already escaped from life-threatening danger.”
Hearing the female doctor’s words, the hearts of the people present immediately relaxed.
Su Wan was so happy that she cried. She was so happy that she almost jumped up.
But soon, the female doctor took another turn.
“But the patient’s body is not good. We have adopted a more conservative treatment during the surgery, and we are only halfway through. Of course, the most dangerous stage has passed. There shouldn’t be too much of a problem from now on.”
Xie Changfeng nodded heavily. Although he was not completely relieved, when he thought about how Lin Xuan’s life was no longer in danger, he felt a little more at ease.
Scholars paid attention to their pride. Other than to people whom he respected from the bottom of his heart, Xie Changfeng had almost never lowered his head in his entire life.
However, at this moment, when he heard that Lin Xuan had already overcome the greatest difficulty, Xie Changfeng could not suppress the excitement in his heart and repeatedly lowered his head to thank the female doctor.
“Doctor, it’s been hard on all of you!”
The past two hours had also been a tough battle for the doctors. During the surgery, they had to be extremely focused and could not relax in the slightest.
Xie Changfeng was naturally extremely grateful to them.
The female doctor was obviously used to such situations. She smiled slightly, put on her mask again, and walked into the operating theatre once more.
…
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng also heaved a sigh of relief. The mountain weighing down on their hearts had also been removed, and they were only waiting for the good news to follow.
However, they had not been happy for a few minutes when suddenly, all the lights in the corridor turned off!
