Tang Beibei lifted Song Zhou’s clothes and looked at the deteriorating wound, which was somewhat ulcerated. She quickly patted Song Zhou’s face.
“Song Zhou, wake up, wake up!”
Song Zhou opened his eyes in a daze. “What’s wrong?”
“Now, you have to hold your wife’s hand. You can’t let go. Think about it, you can’t let go of yourself.”
Song Zhou’s gaze was a little unfocused. He tried his best to see Ruan Qi sleeping next to him. The corners of his pale lips curled up.
“I won’t let go. I can’t bear to let go.”
The doctor came over and measured the temperature of his forehead with the back of his hand. The temperature was rising.
“Get ready to go to the operating room. Clean his wound and detoxify him!”
Jiang Jingchen pushed open the ward door to the operating room and wanted to carry Ruan Qi away.
Song Zhou shook his head and begged, “Young Master, don’t. Keep it quiet. Don’t wake her up.”
“You’re having surgery.”
“If I can’t get off the operating table… Let me talk to her.”
Jiang Jingchen was at a loss for words.
Jiang Jingchen clenched his fists and didn’t carry Ruan Qi away in the end.
Tang Beibei watched as the bed was pushed into the operating room. Her eyes were sore and she squatted down in discomfort.
“Honey, Song Zhou will be fine, right?”
Jiang Jingchen looked at the operating room with a dazed expression.
“I think, he will.”
When they arrived at the operating theater, the doctors were very quiet. The pregnant woman next to Song Zhou was sleeping soundly and even snuggled up to Song Zhou.
Song Zhou received anesthesia and felt dizzy, but he still forced himself to look at her.
He really wanted to look at her like this for the rest of his life.
However, he didn’t know how long his life would last.
Outside the operating theater.
Tang Beibei leaned in Jiang Jingchen’s arms, occasionally getting up and walking around, looking at the sky, praying for him to safely get through this.
Jiang Jingchen walked up behind her and put his hands together. He said in a low voice, “I don’t believe in ghosts and gods. But if there are ghosts and gods, wanting someone to live well should come at a cost, right? Would they exchange it with their lifespan?”
“I’ll lend ten years to Song Zhou.”
“Ten years, Obedient Beibei, you…”
“Sigh, who knows how long I can live? What if I can live to a hundred years old, lending ten years to him, I’ll still live to ninety years old. It won’t be a loss at all.”
Jiang Jingchen was speechless.
Jiang Jingchen looked at her and flicked her eyebrows.
“Pm just teasing you. If lifespan could be borrowed, wouldn’t the world be in chaos? Song Zhou will definitely, definitely be fine.”
He was comforting her and himself.
The wait was long and torturous.
At two in the morning, Tang Beibei rubbed her red eyes and was extremely tired.
Jiang Jingchen took off his coat and covered her with it, letting her rest for a while. Tang Beibei closed her eyes, but she couldn’t fall asleep.
She was afraid that she would wake up to heartbreaking bad news.
She wanted to wait for a surprise.
Suddenly, the sound of Ruan Qi crying could be heard from the operating theatre.
Tang Beibei stood up abruptly and looked at the operating theater anxiously.
They couldn’t go in, unaware of the situation inside. She only heard the crying, which made her heart ache even more.
Could it be that something happened to Song Zhou?
Jiang Jingchen’s face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with sadness.
Ruan Qi and Song Zhou shared a home. If something really happened to Song Zhou, their home would also fall apart.
In the operating theater, Ruan Qi’s cries never stopped. The door of the operating theater opened and a nurse rushed out.
She came over with a document, and Jiang Jingchen subconsciously took a step back.
The nurse said, “The patient’s condition is critical. The pregnant woman inside doesn’t want to sign. We need your signature before we can perform the second operation.”
It was a critical condition notice.
Jiang Jingchen was at a loss for words.
Jiang Jingchen clenched his fists tightly, and his veins bulged. He was reluctant to take the pen.
“They are all the best doctors, right?”
“Yes, the doctor said that there’s a high chance, but it’s very risky and requires your cooperation as family members!”
At this moment, Jiang Jingchen didn’t want to be Song Zhou’s family member at all. He didn’t want to see such a cruel thing.
He closed his eyes and opened them after a long time. He picked up a pen and wrote his name with trembling fingers.
The nurse then said, “Now we need you to bring the pregnant woman out. It was already difficult to bring her in before. Now that she’s inside, we can’t say for sure if something unexpected happens.”
Tang Beibei went over to persuade Ruan Qi to come out.
Ruan Qi cried and shook her head, refusing to leave. However, the doctor said that it was indeed not good for her to be here. Tang Beibei said that it was for Song Zhou and the child.
Ruan Qi then walked out of the operating theater in a sorry state. She lowered her head and sat on the chair, shedding tears silently.
Tang Beibei hugged her and comforted her, but Ruan Qi didn’t listen to her. She stared blankly at the door of the operating room.
Now, she rejected all the bad news!
Tang Beibei looked at Jiang Jingchen for help. Jiang Jingchen sighed and turned to look for the nurse.
If there were unexpected situations in the operating theater, and Ruan Qi’s condition intensified, she would need a sedative from the nurse. Otherwise, it would affect the child.
He brought two cups of hot water for the two of them, and the three of them sat side by side.
At some point, they had gone from being friends to confidantes, and now they were inseparable, closer than family.
Another hour passed. Just as their emotions were stretched to the extreme, the door to the operating theater opened again.
Seeing the nurse come out, Jiang Jingchen’s first reaction was to see if the nurse had any documents in her hand.
If there was a critical condition notice, he would go crazy.
The nurse walked up to them and said with a smile, “The situation is under control. The fever has subsided. Now, he’s recovering well.”
“Thank you!”
Ruan Qi cried tears of joy and hurried over. The doctor helped push the bed out and said with a smile, “It was discovered early tonight. His condition isn’t too bad. He’s considered to have passed the critical period. This gentleman is a lucky man.”
Tang Beibei and Jiang Jingchen were both grateful to the doctor, so they helped Ruan Qi push the bed back to the ward.
Song Zhou was still under anesthesia and needed a few more hours of sleep. Ruan Qi was also exhausted and fell asleep by the bed.
Jiang Jingchen carried her to Song Zhou’s side again. Ruan Qi woke up and was stunned for a few seconds when she saw him.
“Jiang Jingchen, you…”
“You’re pregnant. Pregnant women get special treatment. If you sleep on the bed with Song Zhou, Song Zhou will be happy too.”
Ruan Qi was touched. Although Jiang Jingchen was the Young Master of Song Zhou, the two of them were more like brothers who depended on each other, looking out for each other and supporting each other.
Jiang Jingchen hugged Ruan Qi. Tang Beibei, who was beside him, wasn’t angry. She even smiled and patted Ruan Qi’s head.
“Go to sleep. I’ll keep watch for you. The doctor said that Song Zhou is safe now. You don’t have to be afraid.”
Ruan Qi nodded and slowly closed her eyes. She leaned against Song Zhou’s arm, very affectionate.
Tang Beibei and Jiang Jingchen stayed with Song Zhou for the night. They spent the night on the sofa together.
In the morning, the nurse came to change the dressing, and the doctors came to check. Jiang Jingchen woke up and covered the woman in his arms with a thin blanket. He whispered to the doctor about Song Zhou’s condition.
“He’s fine now. Those toxic substances have been cleaned up and there’s currently no danger. However, no one could guarantee that those chemical elements wouldn’t leave any aftereffects. The person who splashed that kind of thing is also crazy. If those things were handled a little later, your friend would have died on the spot.”
Jiang Jingchen gritted his teeth and thought of countless ways to torture Jiang Minghua to death..
