Chapter 1398: Helping Him Overcome the Crisis

~7 min read 1,357 words

At this moment, the calm Liu Xin'ai completely panicked; the only thing she could do was to have someone call an ambulance quickly.

Suddenly, Liu Xin'ai felt her hand being covered.

She looked down and discovered it was Qin Yiyan holding her hand.

At this time, Qin Yiyan's pupils were slowly losing their focus.

Liu Xin'ai gripped his hand tightly and shouted: "Qin Yiyan, can you hear me speaking! You are not allowed to sleep, I will go to the Hospital with you!"

Qin Yiyan... could already barely hear Liu Xin'ai's voice.

Moreover, his body felt very cold.

He was still thinking, when Liu Xin'ai was hurt, was it this kind of feeling?

He felt so heartbroken for Liu Xin'ai at that time, and he still wanted to tell Liu Xin'ai not to cry.

But Qin Yiyan could do nothing; he could only let the darkness gradually swallow him.

Until, he had no consciousness at all...

Qin Yiyan was quickly sent to the Hospital.

But because there were too many wounds on his body, the surgery was extremely dangerous and took a very long time.

Qin Yiyan's parents heard the news, rushed to the Hospital, and kept watch at the door of the operating room.

But as time dragged on, Qin Yiyan's father, Qin Chao, gradually became irritable.

That was his only son, yet at this moment, his life or death inside was unknown!

And the one who caused his son to end up like this...

Qin Chao looked at the pale-faced Liu Xin'ai beside him and rebuked: "It is all because you implicated him that Yiyan is lying inside!"

Chi Rong was already feeling agitated, and upon hearing Qin Chao's baseless accusation, she immediately frowned and retorted: "Is this what Xin'ai wanted to see? You don't go and blame the person who hurt our son, how can you turn around and hurl curses at an innocent person!?"

"Who says she is innocent? Don't think I don't know, Yiyan only went to such lengths to destroy that reporter because he was venting his anger for her!"

"Our son is Xin'ai's husband; what is wrong with him standing up for his wife? Could it be that being useless and just muddling along like you is the right thing to do!"

"You..."

Facing Chi Rong, Qin Chao involuntarily felt diminished.

His arrogance was suppressed by Chi Rong, and he didn't say anything more.

Seeing that he had quieted down, Chi Rong couldn't be bothered to cross swords with him again.

She turned her head to say to Liu Xin'ai: "Don't pay attention to what he says, he's just a senile old fool!"

Liu Xin'ai lowered her eyes, her voice trembling slightly: "Actually... Qin Yiyan was indeed implicated by me."

Now, whenever Liu Xin'ai closed her eyes, the image of Qin Yiyan covered in blood would appear before her!

Even in the air, there was a faint, lingering scent of blood!

Chi Rong had not seen that scene, but she was equally heartbroken for Qin Yiyan.

At this moment, she could only sigh and say: "No one wanted such a thing to happen, don't wallow in self-pity."

Liu Xin'ai did not speak again.

She just stared at the operating room door, silently hoping that Qin Yiyan could overcome this crisis.

After a long time passed—

The operating room door was finally pushed open.

But the Doctor brought news that was neither good nor bad: "The 48 hours after surgery are very important. If the patient can wake up, it will be a joyous occasion for all, but if he cannot... you must prepare for the funeral arrangements."

Qin Chao could not accept the latter situation; he opened his mouth to warn them: "You must save Yiyan, you cannot let anything else go wrong with him!"

"Family of the patient, we have already done our best. No matter which expert you find, the result will be about the same. Also, instead of having time to argue, you should spend more time with the patient to help him pull through."

Qin Chao was very dissatisfied with the Doctor's attitude and opened his mouth to rebuke the other party.

But Chi Rong felt he was truly a hindrance, so she pushed him aside.

Then she asked the Doctor about some specific details.

Qin Chao was helpless regarding this.

And the Doctor, seeing that Chi Rong was calmer, explained things to her in detail.

In a word: these 48 hours are crucial.

At this time, a nurse had already sent Qin Yiyan to a special ward.

Qin Chao and Chi Rong heard the Doctor's instructions and anxiously went to visit.

But the moment they saw Qin Yiyan covered in tubes, their eyes turned red.

Liu Xin'ai was also heartbroken beyond measure.

But at this moment, she had more important things to do and could not let the cowardly emotions in her heart run wild.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Xin'ai said to Chi Rong and Qin Chao: "The two of you have been guarding for so long and must be tired; why not go back and rest for a while."

Qin Chao's mood had not yet calmed down.

Hearing Liu Xin'ai's words, he replied unpleasantly: "At a time like this, how can we rest!?"

"But if we all stay, there is very little each person can do. It would be better if we stagger our time to accompany Qin Yiyan and help him get through these 48 hours."

Chi Rong thought this made sense and nodded.

Then she asked: "Then, as for the first one to accompany Yiyan..."

"I will do it," Liu Xin'ai volunteered.

After hearing this, Chi Rong did not raise any objections.

But Qin Chao wanted to speak.

Yet before his words could be spoken, he was stared down by Chi Rong's gaze.

That gaze...

Qin Chao hesitated for a moment, swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue, and then turned and left in silence.

Chi Rong patted Liu Xin'ai's hand, then took one last deep look at the unconscious Qin Yiyan before turning away, holding back her tears.

Very quickly, only Qin Yiyan and Liu Xin'ai were left in the hospital room.

This scene... felt somewhat familiar.

But unlike the past, back then, it was Liu Xin'ai who had been the one lying on the hospital bed.

Having suffered severe injuries before, Liu Xin'ai knew that those in a coma could sometimes hear conversations from the outside world.

However...

Liu Xin'ai, sitting beside Qin Yiyan, said nothing at all.

She simply held Qin Yiyan's hand.

Then, from time to time, she observed the values on the Monitor.

If the values were relatively stable, Liu Xin'ai would occasionally kiss Qin Yiyan's forehead.

But if the values fluctuated, she would grip Qin Yiyan's palm tightly, as if giving him encouragement.

She just sat there like that, taking a nap whenever she felt sleepy.

Until...

"Xin'ai?"

Hearing someone calling her name, Liu Xin'ai subconsciously looked toward the hospital bed.

But... Qin Yiyan had not woken up.

Liu Xin'ai felt a bit disappointed.

She looked to her side again and discovered that Chi Rong was standing there.

With a face full of heartache, Chi Rong said, "Look at how tired you are, you've fallen asleep! Go home and rest, I'll take care of Yiyan."

Liu Xin'ai had wanted to stay longer.

But since she was the one who had proposed the rotation system in the first place, how could she be the one to lead by not following it?

Liu Xin'ai took a deep breath and instructed Chi Rong, "Talk to him more; he might be able to hear you."

"Alright."

"The values on these instruments have different meanings; let me mark them for you."

Liu Xin'ai went to get paper and a pen.

Only when she lowered her head did she realize... her hand was still clutching Qin Yiyan's.

Liu Xin'ai felt a bit awkward, quickly let go, and moved away from the hospital bed.

She felt her hand was a bit hot, squeezed it, tried hard to overcome the strange sensation, and then lowered her head to write the notes.
