Chapter 967: The Story of Ling and Heng (230)
For 48 hours, the doctor’s work on Chinese herbal medicine baths, coupled with Dr. Wendell’s surgery, and Cambodia’s professional snake-venom detoxification treatment. When Feng Ling was pushed out of the operating room, she was still unconscious and was sent to the intensive care unit again.
Just when everyone thought the operation on her failed, Qin Siting walked out of the operating room, took off his sterilizing mask and surgical gown, and said, “Be patient. We’ve removed the venom in his body, but the wounds on his shoulder and back are too large, so he’d better stay in the ICU before the wounds heal. This sterile environment is more helpful for his recovery. Although the wounds are large, there won’t be any scar left, so don’t worry. The wounds will heal in two days.”
“So?” Li Nanheng looked at him.
Qin Siting threw the surgical gown in his hand aside and heaved a sigh of relief. “Relax, he’ll be fine, but because the snake venom stayed in his body for too long, the serum doesn’t work very well. Besides, he lost a lot of blood. He is unconscious because he is too weak and lost too much blood, so it will take him at least a few days to wake up.”
Xiao Xu came up and asked excitedly. “Is Feng Ling all right?”
Qin Siting looked at him with a smile. “If you believe me, yes.”
Xiao Xu hurriedly said, “Oh, of course I believe you, Dr. Qin! But Feng Ling almost died…”
“He is the person my brother cares about. Even if he is dying, I will try my best to save him!” Qin Siting said and unb.u.t.toned the collar of his s.h.i.+rt. “Okay, I’m going to take a shower. I will stay in Cambodia in the next few days. I won’t go back to Hai City until I make sure Feng Ling is okay.”
“Take a rest. I’ll talk to you later,” Li Nanheng said lightly as Qin Siting walked past him.
Qin Siting smiled and said in a voice that only Li Nanheng could hear, “You should accompany your little sweetheart. She’s really a poor girl, but she is also lucky. Even the poisonous snake failed to take away her life. Be gentle to her. Don’t lose her by mistake.”
Li Nanheng raised his eyebrows and looked back at him. “How do you have the face to educate me?”
Knowing that he was going to mention s.h.i.+ Niange, Qin Siting simply turned around and walked away, unb.u.t.toning his s.h.i.+rt and looking quite elegant and casual.
Li Nanheng withdrew his gaze. As Feng Ling’s situation had improved and Qin Siting had rea.s.sured her that she would not have any more problems, he felt much more relaxed and even smiled.
“Boss, Feng Ling is fine. Then he…” Xiao Xuzheng was about to speak.
But Li Nanheng suddenly turned and walked towards the intensive care unit.
Seeing this, Xiao Xu was stunned. “…”
Feng Ling hadn’t woken up yet. Why was the Boss in such a hurry?
However, Xiao Xu did not dare to ask anything about Feng Ling’s gender. After thinking about it, he went to talk about this shocking secret with Han Jin.
——
Los Angeles, the Feng family.
Qin Qiu looked at her mother who had been sitting on the sofa and stroking the jade in her hand for more than an hour. “Mom, I had planned to refuse, but now I can’t stop anything. Firstly, Li Nanheng is indeed a good boy. Secondly, the Li family and the Feng family really need a marriage alliance. It’s annoying that Li Nanheng would rather marry my second daughter’s clothes than marrying Mingzhu, but what happened recently shows that the two families should strengthen our ties. The engagement is still effective, and my second daughter would have been eighteen years old. It is time to fulfill the engagement.”
At this time, Grandfather Feng and Grandmother Feng had also gone downstairs. Seeing them, they walked over and Grandmother Feng sat next to Qin Qiu’s mother. The two grannies took a look at each other.
Then Grandmother Feng smiled and said, “Mrs. Qin, I know you don’t like it. We can understand you. She is also our granddaughter and we’re unwilling to disturb her soul either, but since Li Nanheng wants to marry her clothes, why don’t we agree? He is a nice man. You’ve seen him too. You know I’m not lying, right? Isn’t it good to give her soul a habitat? At least when Li Nanheng meets her in the netherworld, she won’t be alone. Nominally, she is Mrs. Li.”
Qin Qiu’s mother clenched the round jade in her hand and said sadly, “Are you serious? Do you really want him to marry her clothes?”
Grandfather Feng came over on a cane. Looking at the two old ladies on the sofa, he said, “What happened to the military commander caused a b.u.t.terfly effect. The Feng family is also connected to XI Base. We aren’t affected by this matter because the military dreads the power of the Feng family and the Li family. Once we are separated, they will seize the chance to crush us one by one. Anyway, there is already an engagement between our two families. Why don’t we fulfill it now? The Li family has no objection to it, neither does Li Nanheng. He is willing to marry your second granddaughter’s clothes.”
Then, Grandpa Feng looked at the round jade in Qin Qiu’s mother’s hand again and sighed. “Mrs. Qin, I know how happy you were after the birth of your second granddaughter. I’m really sorry about what happened to her. Now we just want to give her soul a home. This is just the right time. Please let her marry my grandson.”
Qin Qiu’s mother’s eyes were red, and she lowered her head to stroke the round jade in her hand. “She… was gone when she was still so little. Her soul must still be a little kid… Will she feel wronged to get married to a man…”
“Mom, don’t think too much. The Li family is a good choice,” Qin Qiu said softly.
