The surgery officially started at 7:30 AMâ¦
Everyone waited anxiously outside the OR, each and every person in agony as they watched the clock tick slowly.
Su Yu sat restlessly; every once in a while, he would bite his nails and touch his forehead.
Huo Siqian looked calm; he was playing games on his phone to distract himself, but his heart was filled with turmoilâ¦
Jiang Xiaowei was in a bad mood, she sat silently on a chair in the hallway without speaking a word.
âXiaowei, do you want some water?â
âNo.â
âHow about some food? I can buy you some fruit.â
âNo.â
âYou are pregnant now, you canât do this to yourself.â Wei Liao was speechless.
He was also sad and worried about Qin Chu and Huo Mian, but he was even more worried about the health of his wife and baby.
âAre you done? I already said Iâm okayâ¦â Jiang Xiaowei was in a very bad mood.
Huo Mian was the only good friend she had after all these years, and even though they had not known each other for very long, they got along very well with each other.
Therefore, she was very mad, especially when she saw how big of a sacrifice Huo Mian decided to make.
She already cried multiple timesâ¦
Zhu Lingling bit down on her teeth as she hid and smoked at the end of the corridor.
Her nicotine cravings were much stronger than Huo Mianâs, the latter would only smoke when she was sad whereas Zhu Lingling smoked sometimes when she stayed up late.
Gao Ran suddenly appeared behind her and grabbed the cigarette from her hand. He threw it to the ground and stomped heavily on it.
âFrequent smokers have black lungsâ¦â
âWhy does that matter?â
âYou will live a short life.â
âNo one lives to a hundred years old anyway, it doesnât matter if I live a short life,â Zhu Lingling said without hope.
âI know youâre sad, but donât be like this,â Gao Ran said comfortingly.
âStupid police, hey⦠will they make it?â Zhu Lingling asked in a shaky voice.
âI think so.â Gao Ran was sad too but he still hoped that Qin Chu and Huo Mian would be okay.
âBut why am I so scared, my heart has been hanging all this time⦠It wonât come down,â Zhu Lingling said as she pointed to her chestâ¦
Tears slid down her cheeksâ¦
Gao Ran felt terrible when he saw her tears; he took out some tissues and gently wiped them away.
âDonât cry⦠Iâm sure theyâll be okay.â
Zhu Lingling couldnât help it anymore, she threw herself into Gao Ranâs arms and started cryingâ¦
âGao Ran, I feel so bad⦠I canât imagine never seeing Huo Mian again. How can this happen? Iâve known her for so many years, I canât accept this.â
âI know, I knowâ¦â
Gao Ran gently hugged Zhu Lingling and patted her back to make her feel better.
On the other side, the faces of Qin Chuâs parents were covered in melancholy; Mrs. Qin did not speak after she was yelled at by Jiang Xiaowei.
âYishi, letâs go,â Mrs. Song suddenly said in a low voice.
âMom, the surgery isnât over yet.â Song Yishi didnât understand why her mother would want to go now.
Mrs. Song looked around and saw that no one was looking at her, so she leaned over and whispered to Song Yishi, âI heard from a Daoist that when a person dies, there will be bad luck at the place where the person had his last breath. Whoever the breath lands on will suffer bad luck for a year. I donât think ⦠Qin Chu will make it, and his wife will probably die too. Letâs go now, or we may get bad luck if the surgery fails, and their last breaths land on us.â
âMom⦠how can you be like this ?â Song Yishi looked incredulously at her mother.
Her mother was actually worried⦠and even superstitious about these things.
âStupid girl, Iâm not afraid, but youâre different. Youâre still unmarried. I canât let you be tainted by bad luck. Letâs go,â Mrs. Song said as she pulled Song Yishi awayâ¦
Mrs. Qin looked at the mother and daughter with surpriseâ¦
The surgery started an hour ago, and it was finally time to extract the bulletâ¦
Qin Chuâs heart beated vigorously in his chestâ¦
The deadly bullet was just at the edge of his heart and was surrounded by blood vessels.
âHuo Mian, do it, time is running out,â Chief Xu reminded her.
Huo Mian carefully lifted the scalpel and touched the bulletâ¦
âBe careful, donât touch the blood vessels!â Dr. Feng was already old, he was so scared by Huo Mian that he almost had a heart attack.
