Chapter 115: I’ll Save Him
Wei Xueying was stunned.
The others also turned to look at Chu Luo.
Just as First Madam was about to speak, the door suddenly opened. A doctor stood there, and everyone rushed over to ask about the situation. The doctor only said, “He’s undergoing emergency treatment.”
He then asked, “Is the family member here? The patient wants to see her.”
Wei Xueying quickly answered on Chu Luo’s behalf, “She’s here.”
Then, she pushed Chu Luo towards the doctor.
The doctor glanced at her and gestured. “Come in with me.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked inside.
Wei Xueying pushed Chu Luo from behind.
After Chu Luo was pushed in, the automatic door of the operating theater closed.
After entering the door, she saw that there was a corridor with a few surgical rooms inside.
The doctor brought her to a spotless room for sterilization and then changed her into dust-free clothes.
While she was doing this, the doctor quickly said to her, “The patient’s condition is very dangerous. Don’t say anything to agitate the patient later, and don’t show too much sadness. Also, try not to let him speak. You can say a few words of encouragement to him.”
Chu Luo responded with an “Mm.”
Seeing that Chu Luo was beautiful and looked like an obedient child, the doctor added, “You must be the patient’s daughter. The patient wants to see you, so when he was undergoing anesthesia, he insisted that we administer local anesthesia on him. He was injured at his heart. A bullet happened to brush past his heart and was stuck between his artery and his heart. The attending physician is now trying to find a way to remove the bullet for him.”
After saying that, he gave her a few more instructions and led her to the operating theater where Chu Zhengyang was.
There was a chief surgeon, an a.s.sisting doctor, and two a.s.sistants in the operating theater. They were quickly performing surgery on Chu Zhengyang’s heart.
There were tubes all over Chu Zhengyang’s body and a few instruments beside him. The heartbeat on the heartbeat machine was beating very weakly.
At this moment, Chu Zhengyang’s eyes were wide open.
Chu Luo walked to the side of the operating table. She didn’t look at Chu Zhengyang immediately. Instead, she looked at the scalpel that was moving against Chu Zhengyang’s heart.
The a.s.sisting doctor had just wiped the sweat off the chief surgeon’s forehead when he saw Chu Luo standing beside him. He immediately lowered his voice and said to Chu Zhengyang, who had been keeping his eyes open, “The person you want to see is here, but don’t be agitated.”
After saying that, he signaled Chu Luo to come closer to Chu Zhengyang.
Chu Luo walked to Chu Zhengyang’s side.
When Chu Zhengyang saw Chu Luo, tears flowed down his face.
The doctor quickly berated him, “You don’t want to live anymore? Don’t be agitated. If you continue to be agitated, we’ll ask her to go out.”
Chu Zhengyang tried his best to control his emotions. He opened his mouth and called out to her silently, “Luoluo.”
Chu Luo looked at him and asked, “What do you want to tell me?”
Chu Zhengyang’s mouth opened and closed.
Chu Luo looked at his mouth. His lips were trembling, and it was impossible to tell what he was saying.
Chu Zhengyang became agitated again. As shown on the heartbeat monitor, his heart started beating rapidly, and blood flowed out of his mouth. Then, his heart stopped beating, and Chu Zhengyang closed his eyes.
The chief surgeon fumed. “Take the young lady out. Quick, start the emergency treatment.”
Chu Luo looked at the doctor and the lifeless Chu Zhengyang. When the doctor came to pull her, she suddenly said, “I’ll save him.”
These words made the few people who were originally busy suddenly turn to look at her.
The chief surgeon’s face darkened. “Take her out.”
“Little girl, let’s go.”
Chu Luo looked at them and suddenly erupted with a powerful aura.
“I said, I’ll save this person.”
After saying that, she tapped on the acupoint of that doctor and quickly walked to the chief surgeon.
“You…”
Everyone was stunned by her aura, especially the person whose acupoints had been sealed. Fear appeared on their faces.
Chu Luo took the scalpel from the chief surgeon’s hand and pushed him to the side.
She didn’t seem to have much strength, but she pushed the chief surgeon until he staggered.
“Nonsense, this is nonsense!”
The a.s.sisting doctor quickly held the chief surgeon. “Chief Xiang.”
“Hurry.” Before a.s.sociate Chief Physician Xiang could regain his balance, he shouted at the three a.s.sistants who were stunned there, “Hurry up and pull her away! Don’t let her get close to the patient!”
The three a.s.sistants suddenly came back to their senses and wanted to pull Chu Luo away. Chu Luo quickly took three silver needles from the side and tossed them. The three of them were immediately rooted to the ground.
Then, under the trio’s frightened expressions, she turned around and glared at the chief surgeon. She said in a low voice, “If you don’t want him to die, help me out.”
After saying that, she quickly took out a few silver needles from the box and inserted them into several of Chu Zhengyang’s major acupoints.
Then, she raised her hand and made a move on Chu Zhengyang’s heart. Before the chief surgeon and his a.s.sistants could react, she took out the bullet.
“Are you guys just going to watch the patient die? What are you waiting for?!”
The chief surgeon abruptly came back to his senses. He had been stunned by Chu Luo’s quick and accurate actions. Without thinking, he walked over and stood beside her.
“What do you need me to do?”
“Tell me how to use the surgical tools as quickly as possible.”
After a moment of surprise, Chief Xiang told Chu Luo about it in the simplest and fastest way.
After Chu Luo learned how to use these surgical tools, she started to let him hand them over one by one.
Chu Luo’s calmness and strong confidence shocked everyone present.
After a while, the stunned deputy saw sweat on Chu Luo’s forehead and quickly took a clean towel to wipe it off.
Chu Luo spent a total of six hours doing this surgery because she wasn’t used to modern surgical tools.
When the heartbeat on the heartbeat monitor returned to normal, the doctors in the operating theater were so excited that they could barely control themselves.
“That’s amazing. Is the young lady a student of a medical university?”
Chief Xiang looked at Chu Luo, who was using a towel to wipe off the blood on her hands. He was so excited that his face turned red. “You’re the calmest person I’ve seen at the operating table. Even I can’t be as calm as you.”
Chu Luo glanced at the middle-aged man in front of her but didn’t answer him. Instead, she said, “I don’t want the people outside to know that I operated on him.”
“Why?”
“Because…”
Chu Luo suddenly smiled at him. “I’ve never officially studied medicine before. If you tell others that I saved him, what do you think they will think?”
The chief surgeon was so shocked by Chu Luo’s words that his mouth fell open. He widened his eyes and only came back to his senses after a long while. “You’ve actually never studied medicine before?”
After saying that, he suddenly remembered that she didn’t even know about the surgical tools earlier. The shock on his face deepened.
The others were also shocked speechless.
“Then… then where did you learn your medical skills from?”
“Self-study. I like to read… all kinds of books.”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, she quickly unblocked the acupoints of the others and said, “I should go out. He won’t die now. You guys can decide what to do next.”
“You…”
Seeing that Chu Luo was about to leave the operating theater after saying that, Professor Xiang quickly instructed his a.s.sistant, “Send the patient to the intensive care unit for 48 hours of observation.”
With that, he followed her out.
Chu Luo was about to walk towards the dust-removal room when she heard rapid footsteps behind her.
“Young lady, can we talk?”
Chu Luo tilted her head and looked at him. “Talk about what?”
“Which school are you from?”
“I just finished my college entrance examination.”
“What?”
Professor Xiang quickly lowered his voice, which had subconsciously been raised, and asked anxiously, “Then your results should be out already. Are you interested in applying to the Imperial College of Medicine? I’m Professor Xiang Heping from the Imperial College of Medicine. If you want to apply to the College of Medicine, I’m willing to directly take you on as a student.”
“I’ve already submitted my university applications.”
“What school did you fill in? If you want to change schools, I’ll immediately call someone to change your first choice.”
“Imperial University.”
“…”
Chu Luo saw Professor Xiang standing there and didn’t say anything else.
After she entered the dust-removal room, Professor Xiang quickly chased after her and hurriedly asked, “Little girl, you haven’t told me your name? You don’t sound like someone from the capital. Where are you from? What’s your relations.h.i.+p with that patient just now?”
Chu Luo first went to the sink to wash her hands before taking off her dust-free clothes. She then replied, “My name is Chu Luo. I’m from Ocean City.”
Then, she asked, “Can I go now?”
“Chu Luo,” Professor Xiang muttered. “Why does this name sound so familiar?”
Chu Luo glanced at him and walked out.
Professor Xiang followed her out and handed her a name card. “This is my name card. The number written on it is my personal number. You can call me anytime.”
Chu Luo took the name card and put it in her pocket. She nodded at him. “Okay, I will call.”
The two of them walked to the door of the operating theater.
Professor Xiang took out his card and swiped it on the sensor.
The moment the door opened, Professor Xiang was immediately surrounded by a group of people waiting outside.
“Doctor, how’s the patient?”
Chu Luo took the opportunity to retreat to the side. When Professor Xiang looked over, she nodded at him and walked towards the elevator.
After Chu Luo got into the car, she took out her phone and punched in the number on the name card that Professor Xiang had given her.
When she returned to the old district, it was already midnight.
Chu Luo ate supper and went to sleep.
The next morning, she sent a message to Professor Xiang and asked him to tell Chu Zhengyang that she had gone on a trip to the US and would be back in late August.
After sending the message, she turned on the Do Not Disturb function on her phone and went to the airport to meet Tang Zhiyun and the others with her luggage.
