Chapter 156: I suggest a kidney transplant for Xing'er
A low, steady voice suddenly came from behind. Qin Hao Bei and Shi Heng turned their heads at the same time and saw a familiar figure.
"How could it be you?!"
The doctor standing at the door of the operating room also frowned and said with some difficulty:
"Director Su, you... although your medical skills are superb, you are the director of Internal Medicine, and this patient is a patient with an acute Ebola virus attack, which belongs to the emergency of the Infectious Diseases Department. I'm afraid..."
"I have performed Ebola surgeries,"
Su Yichen said coldly while putting on surgical gloves.
"Hundreds of them."
"What? Hundreds?"
The Emergency Department doctor opened his eyes wide in surprise. "Could it be that you... you have been to..."
"Yes, I have been to Africa, right in the capital of Sozali, where the epidemic was most severe, and worked as an international doctor for a year. Do you have any other questions?"
The doctor hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"No, no..."
Outside the operating room, Su Yichen put on his protective suit and gloves neatly.
Then he took a deep breath and was about to push open the door of the operating room.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Su Yichen!"
Shi Heng stood up tremblingly from the corner and walked to Su Yichen step by step.
His pitch-black pupils trembled slightly as he looked at Su Yichen, saying in an almost pleading tone:
"You can cure Yi'er, right?"
Su Yichen's heart was filled with mixed feelings. Of course, he hoped he could cure Yi'er.
If he could, he would even be willing to exchange his own life for Yi'er's!
But at this very moment, he couldn't give Shi Heng any promises.
Because he knew how dangerous an Ebola virus attack could be.
"You can cure her, can't you?!"
Shi Heng still looked at Su Yichen, his eyes full of scarlet, as if waiting for him to give a definite promise.
Qin Hao Bei walked up.
He pulled Shi Heng, who was almost collapsing, away from Su Yichen.
Immediately after, he gritted his teeth and said to Su Yichen word by word:
"Go in."
"This time, don't let Xing'er down."
With a "snap," the operating light turned on.
The woman who had appeared in his dreams countless times finally appeared before Su Yichen.
But she was lying on the cold operating table, unconscious, her face as pale as the sheets beneath her. Her clothes were stained red with blood, and the rise and fall of her chest was barely perceptible.
With just one look, Su Yichen's heart was pierced with pain.
He found a cloth and gently covered Shi Yi's face; he was afraid that if he looked at the girl again, he wouldn't be able to hold the scalpel steadily.
"Let's start."
Su Yichen said with trembling breath: "Put on the ventilator first, then inject 5 mg of monoclonal antibodies."
"Hurry!"
*Tick, tick*, one minute and one second passed.
The clock on the wall turned from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM.
A fish-belly white appeared outside the window, and then the sunlight slowly spilled into the dim corridor.
Qin Hao Bei and Shi Heng sat on two long benches, neither of them speaking.
Finally, the door of the operating room opened with a "ding."
"How is it?!" Qin Hao Bei ran over first.
Su Yichen looked exhausted, his eyes full of bloodshot eyes, but he finally took off his mask and let out a long breath.
"Xing'er's life is saved. She is out of life-threatening danger."
Hearing this, Shi Heng and Qin Hao Bei both had red eyes and visibly relaxed their bodies.
Immediately after, Su Yichen continued:
"However, Xing'er only has one kidney, and for the past few years, she has been relying on medication to suppress the Ebola virus in her body. Her kidney... can be said to have basically reached its limit. This is also the reason for Xing'er's acute attack this time."
Speaking of this, Su Yichen's face was full of endless worry and heartache:
"Even if she is lucky enough to pick up her life this time, I don't know when she will have another attack, and every time will be life-threatening. So I suggest... a kidney transplant for Xing'er."
"What did you say? A transplant?!"
Qin Hao Bei's heart sank. He didn't expect Xing'er's condition to have reached such a point.
Shi Heng also felt a tug in his heart.
"How much longer can my sister's kidney last?!"
Su Yichen shook his head.
"It's hard to say specifically. You guys... prepare yourselves mentally."
As soon as the words fell, Shi Yi was pushed out of the operating room.
She was wearing a ventilator, connected to various tubes, but her thin body was buried in the snow-white sheets, like a broken doll.
Su Yichen sighed silently and said:
"Send her to the ICU for observation."
*Buzz, buzz, buzz*—
Shi Heng's phone rang. He breathed a sigh of relief and took his phone out of his pocket, pressing the answer button.
"Hello, Mom..."
Liu Wanxin's anxious voice came from the phone:
"Heng'er, has Xi'er been found?!"
Shi Heng's heart sank, but he still suppressed his impatience and said in as calm a tone as possible:
"Mom, I'm at the hospital. Yi, Xing'er is sick."
"What does her being sick have to do with you? Didn't she already sever ties with our family?! Heng'er, she is no longer your sister. She is a member of the Qin family now. Xi'er is your only sister!"
Liu Wanxin outputted in a string of cannon fire.
Shi Heng didn't want to continue listening to her nagging, so he said lightly:
"I don't know where Shi Xi is."
"Heng'er, I've called Xi'er many times, but no one answered. I'm afraid something happened to her. Your father is also a bit worried. Can you go find her?"
"If you're worried, call the police and let them help you find her."
"But we can't call the police. Aren't the police investigating some kidnapping case? They've already found Xi'er. If we call the police now, wouldn't we be walking right into their trap?!"
Shi Heng sneered:
"Do you really think Shi Xi is innocent? Do you still not believe that she kidnapped Xing'er's child?! She did something wrong, and she must accept the punishment of the law. She can't escape! Do you still want to find a scapegoat for her like you did ten years ago?!"
Shi Heng became more and more excited as he spoke, and anger burned in his heart.
"Dad, Mom, your indulgence and cover-up have brought the greatest harm to Yi'er! Xiao Shiliu is her life! Do you know that Yi'er just now, almost, almost..."
Shi Heng's voice choked with sobs, and he couldn't go on.
But he knew that even if he told Liu Wanxin, she wouldn't feel a shred of heartache for Yi'er.
On the phone, Liu Wanxin's voice was near begging:
"Heng'er, I was wrong... I didn't want to cover for Xi'er, I just wanted to know where she went! Please, help Mom... If it is really proven that all this has to do with Xi'er, this time, I will absolutely not indulge her again! Heng'er, please..."
Shi Heng sighed in his heart and finally answered coldly.
"Understood." ===== CHAPTER 157 =====
