Chapter 256: Your Husband Is in the Operating Theatre
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The call went through and a series of rhythmic ringing sounds could be heard.
Unfortunately, no one picked up even after it rang more than ten times.
“He’s probably already in the operating room,” He Xiyan said as she hung up.
However, the thought of that made her feel even more worried and she looked anxiously up ahead and clasped her hands tightly together.
“Sir, please drive faster,” she urged the driver.
The driver was already driving very quickly but they were still driving within the city so there were many traffic lights. He couldn’t possibly run a red light since he’d be stopped by the police.
Furthermore, the hospital was some distance away so no matter how quickly he drove it would still be a 40 to 50 minutes journey.
After the car arrived at the hospital, He Xiyan immediately rushed up to the gastroenterology department. She moved so quickly that her breathing became heavier.
If she wasn’t pregnant, she would have run upstairs.
The moment she arrived, she asked the nurse at the reception anxiously, “May I know where is the patient known as Ye Hao undergoing his surgery? I’m his wife.”
The nurse clocked her anxiety and guessed that she was probably a family member of a patient who had fallen ill suddenly.
“Give me a moment, I’ll look it up for you.”
She turned on the computer and looked at the records of those who have registered for consultations or had undergone surgery.
However, after she entered the patient’s name in the system, she immediately frowned.
There was no such data nor information found in the system at all.
“Miss, you must’ve arrived at the wrong hospital. No one of this name visited the gastroenterology department today.”
The nurse said with a flip of her hands, looking very apologetic. She was used to such situations since it was common for family members to arrive at the wrong hospital in a moment of anxiety.
“Why don’t you call to double check if this is the correct hospital.”
He Xiyan said anxiously, “No, I clearly heard that this was hospital he was admitted to. Could you help me take another look? He was admitted because of a gastric problem and his surgery started around 10 AM in the morning.”
He Xiyan was so anxious that she kept running her hands together and her heart raced.
The nurse couldn’t convince her otherwise so she could only take another look at the system. She scanned through the data but after some time, she still wasn’t able to find anything.
“I’m sorry, miss. There is really nothing in the system. Was there no form of identification on your husband’s body when he was admitted into the emergency department?”
The only situation where the hospital didn’t record the patient’s information was when the patient was unconscious before the admission process and didn’t have any form of identification on him and was helped into the hospital by a stranger.
It was very rare for these situations to occur but they did happen.
“Oh right,” the nurse suddenly remembered that there was an emergency patient that day and he was a young man. “Is your husband very tall and his height is above 185 CM, around 25 to 30 years of age? Is he very handsome and on the slim side and did he wear a black suit today?”
“Yes yes yes…” He Xiyan and Qin Xiaoyu said unanimously.
This description fit Ye Hao to a tee.
They hadn’t expected him to be unconscious by the time he arrived.
He Xiyan’s heart tightened and she was so anxious that cold sweat formed on her hands.
“In that case, please head to operating theatre number five upstairs. His operation should end soon,” the nurse reminded her.
“Many thanks…”
He Xiyan dragged Qin Xiaoyu upstairs.
She put her hand over her chest and prayed that his surgery would be a success. She hoped that it was just a minor ailment and that it was just a gastric ulcer or something.
She arrived at the operating theatre that the nurse mentioned and He Xiyan saw the words ‘operation in progress’ at the top of the theatre and the woman who sat nearby.
