1424 Bad News

After helping Yang Xiaoman finish the aftermath, Jian Ai finally felt afraid.

When the incident happened, Yang Xiaoman was about to go to the roast duck house to look for Uncle Yang. If she had gone over a few seconds earlier, she would probably be lying in the emergency room with Uncle Yang now.

Or perhaps… she would have already lost her.

Jian Ai shivered at the thought. Looking at Yang Xiaoman’s injured back, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was fine.

After applying the medicine, Jian Ai draped her coat over Yang Xiaoman and comforted her softly. “Don’t worry, Uncle will be fine.”

Yang Xiaoman nodded slightly. She looked much better than before, but her eyes were on the emergency room door.

Jian Ai sighed softly and walked to the side.

“Sect Master, everything is arranged. Don’t worry.”

Yu Wuyuan finished the calls and sealed all the media’s news according to Jian Ai’s instructions. Even if this matter caused a tremendous commotion, no media would risk offending the Yu family to report this.

Jian Ai was naturally relieved that Yu Wuyuan was handling things. She immediately nodded. “There’s nothing else here for the time being. You can go back first.”

Yu Wuyuan looked at the operating theater door. This matter was regarding the Sect Master’s friend. Since it had nothing to do with the Sect Master, he did not have to worry too much. He just had to appear when the Sect Master needed him.

Yu Wuyuan nodded and turned around to leave.

Not long after, Bai Zhou returned from his call.

The things she handed him were even more trivial, but he needed to put in more effort.

“Don’t worry, Sect Master. I’ll handle it well,” Bai Zhou looked at Jian Ai and said.

Jian Ai asked softly, “Where is Xiao Zhen now?”

“In South Africa,” Bai Zhou answered. Then, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “The Sect Master wants him back?”

Jian Ai looked at the door of the operating theater worriedly and couldn’t help but sigh. “I wonder how Uncle Yang is. When I saved him, he was being pressed down by a huge hanging furnace. That hanging furnace looks to be a few hundred kilograms. I’m worried…”

Before she could finish, the meaning was obvious. Jian Ai was worried that something would happen to Uncle Yang’s leg or even his lower body.

If Xiao Zhen was around, everything would be resolved.

Bai Zhou nodded. “I understand. I’ll contact Xiao Zhen and ask him to return as soon as possible.”

Time passed bit by bit, and the sky outside gradually darkened. However, there was still no sign of the emergency room door opening.

When Yang Xiaoman was tired from crying, she leaned against Jian Ai and rested for a while. When she recovered, she continued to cry. Her eyes were swollen.

Footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor. Jian Ai looked up and saw Chu Jiaojiao and Yao Daiyu.

“Why are you here?” Jian Ai was a little surprised. She stood up and went up to them. “Didn’t I tell you not to worry?”

“Sister, how can I not be worried?” Chu Jiaojiao asked. She didn’t have time to argue with Jian Ai about this. She quickly asked, “How’s Uncle? Is he out?”

Jian Ai shook her head. “Not yet. He’s been in there for almost five hours.”

Chu Jiaojiao frowned and walked past Jian Ai to Xiaoman. “Xiaoman, are you okay?”

Jian Ai’s gaze landed on Yao Daiyu. Seeing that she was panting and her face was pale, she couldn’t help but sigh. “Why are you trying to be strong?”

Yao Daiyu waved her hand weakly. “I’m fine. I took a taxi. I was in a hurry when I went upstairs.”

These words were weak. Jian Ai was afraid she would faint, so she quickly helped her sit beside Yang Xiaoman.

Yang Xiaoman wiped her tears and looked at her two roommates, who had especially rushed over. She said guiltily, “I’m sorry for making you worry too.”

“Let’s not talk about this now. We’re even more anxious to wait in the dormitory. Look at you crying. Your eyes are like walnuts,” Chu Jiaojiao said and reached out to wipe Yang Xiaoman’s tears.

Daiyu nodded. Just as she was about to say something, Chu Jiaojiao interrupted her. “Take a rest. Talk after you’ve recovered.”

Yao Daiyu paused and obediently shut her mouth.

At this moment, the door of the operating theater suddenly opened. A few people quickly stood up and surrounded him. They initially thought that Uncle Yang had finished his resuscitation, but they did not expect only a doctor to walk out.

“Which one of you is the patient’s family member?” The doctor had a serious expression on his face. It didn’t look like anything good had happened.

Yang Xiaoman quickly went forward. “Doctor, I’m his daughter.”

The doctor looked at the others and saw that they were all children of the same age. There were no other family members. He quickly said, “The patient has bone marrow occlusion in his lower limbs. During the surgery, he suddenly suffered a neurological decomposition. The muscles in his left leg…”

The doctor opened and closed his mouth and said a bunch of technical terms that no one understood. In the end, he concluded, “The patient needs an amputation. Otherwise, his life will be in danger!”

“What?” When Yang Xiaoman heard this, her already tense nerves instantly broke. She could not withstand this sudden bad news, and her eyes rolled back as she fainted!

“Xiaoman! Xiaoman!” Everyone rushed to take care of Yang Xiaoman.

Only Jian Ai calmly said to the doctor, “Is there no other way? His daughter just went to university. If the patient’s leg is amputated, his daughter’s life…”

Jian Ai couldn’t say the rest of her words, but if Uncle Yang amputated his leg, the rest of Yang Xiaoman’s life would be ruined because their family only had both of them. There was no one else they could rely on.

However, the doctor could not empathize with her. He could only speak the truth.

“With the current situation, if he wants to hold on to his life, we have to amputate his limb. There’s not much time. You have to decide to sign it immediately,” the doctor said rationally.

Jian Ai was about to say something when the phone in her pocket suddenly rang. She subconsciously picked it up and saw that it was Xiao Zhen.

She was delighted. With Xiao Zhen, there would be a way.

“Xiao Zhen, it’s me,” Jian Ai picked up the phone and said.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhen said, “Sect Master, there’s a riot in South Africa, and the airport is completely closed. I’m afraid I won’t be able to rush back for a while…”

This news was like a bucket of cold water that extinguished the last fire in Jian Ai’s heart.

“Sect Master?” Seeing that Jian Ai didn’t respond, Xiao Zhen became nervous. “Is there an emergency?”

Jian Ai came back to her senses and quickly repeated the situation here. However, Jian Ai couldn’t explain the doctor’s sudden professional questions.

If Xiao Zhen wanted to give guidance, he had to understand the patient’s situation.

...

“Give the phone to the doctor!” Xiao Zhen said.

Jian Ai quickly did as she was told. “Doctor, his family wants you to answer the phone.”

The doctor hesitated for a moment. Seeing this, Jian Ai quickly urged, “It’s an adult at home. Tell him the situation!”
