Chapter 363: Chapter 356: Fever
Moreover, the general hospital, whether in terms of qualifications or facilities, is top-tier domestically. For a medical student, development opportunities there are evidently better and, even more, more knowledge can be gained to further solidify an excellent foundation.
Hence, he supported Tang Yuxin’s move to the general hospital. However, he dared not mention this to Dean Liu. Dean Liu, after all, was quite petty.
At this moment, Dean Liu’s eyes reddened, as if staking claim on their hospital’s doctors.
With such exceptional skill and swift reactions, where else could they find such an excellent doctor? This person was not only a promising candidate for surgery but also a genius in orthopedics.
The entire operation took a full seven hours. Throughout it all, Tang Yuxin didn’t take a single sip of water, as if she were back in her previous work state where enduring hours without food or drink during surgery was normal. She recalled one time when a surgery took over twenty hours. By the time she exited the operating room, her legs had turned to jelly, and she had promptly sat down and fallen asleep on the floor.
Now that the seven-hour surgery was over, due to her intense focus, there could be no room for the slightest errors, else all her efforts will go to waste. Although the procedure was perilously frightening, there was shock but no danger.
This operation went even better than she had imagined – it was successful and perfect.
Shen Fei’s leg was saved, and the bone would gradually heal. His faculties would slowly recover as well, although it would undeniably take a long time. Typically, healing from bone injuries took a hundred days. Furthermore, he still needed to remove the steel pins later on, requiring another surgery. However, by then, he would only need to endure some pain. Compared to losing his legs, Shen Fei was willing to bear this pain.
She pulled out all the pins from Shen Fei’s leg, achieving a more successful and better recovery than similar surgeries she had performed in her previous life. It mostly depended on the silver needles keeping the blood flow sound in Shen Fei’s leg. Blood flow symbolized life, existence.
Shen Fei had been moved into the intensive care unit. He had suffered severe injuries, but Tang Yuxin knew he would be alright, his leg would be alright. Like the rising sun at its prime, how could he fall here? No matter how painful, he would get back up.
He would then return to his beloved work and continue to be an excellent worker.
Tang Yuxin walked outside and leaned against the wall to sit down. Initially, she wanted to rest her eyes for a bit but she was really too tired. After all, her current life was not her previous one. She was unaccustomed to performing such difficult and lengthy surgeries. Without realizing it, she had fallen asleep.
None of the hospital staff disturbed her. Even the doctor who had assisted Tang Yuxin earlier in the surgery gave her a thumbs up, remarking, “Young lady, you’re brave and meticulous, well done.”
Gu Ning came over and squatted down next to Tang Yuxin who was still wearing her mask. All he could see were her eyes revealed outside, her long eyelashes, and her translucently pale skin.
He took off his clothes to cover her with them, and then the people stood uprightly. They all were waiting for Shen Fei’s condition to stabilize.
When Tang Yuxin woke up again, her head accidentally hit the wall behind her, jolting her awake.
She sat up and the clothes on her body fell to the ground. She picked them up from the floor. There was a faint smell of laundry detergent on them, but no other scents.
She hugged the clothes as she stood up and looked around for people. She finally spotted a man in uniform standing by the entrance of the ICU. They all stood there, leaving the seats for the other patients. Though they wore masks, every person stood tall. These people were all security personnel trained by Gu Ning, meticulous in every word and deed. She didn’t know if they had taken on his demeanor.
She advanced with the clothes in her arms. The only person not wearing clothes here was him. As she approached, the man seemed to sense her. His eyes squinted slightly as he gave off an oppressive aura, like a mountain exerting a profound pressure.
In an instant, she recognized who he was.
It was Gu Ning.
She knew him, but she didn’t know if he would recognize her. Perhaps he genuinely didn’t.
She walked over and held out his clothes to him.
“Thank you,” she said with a smile. But she immediately realized that her smile did no good, because he couldn’t see her expression behind the mask.
“You’re welcome,” Gu Ning received his clothes and put them on.
However, Tang Yuxin was staring at his face, then extended her hand to grip Gu Ning’s wrist. He stiffened, feeling her slightly warm body temperature.
Tang Yuxin also froze because his wrist was surprisingly hot.
She placed her two fingers on his pulse, then stood on tiptoes to put her hand near his forehead.
She released her grip on his wrist. Her hand felt somewhat tense.
“You…” She didn’t know what to say.
“Should I be quarantined?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
From Tang Yuxin’s actions and gaze, Gu Ning had already sensed it.
He might have contracted SARS, but because his constitution was good, it wasn’t discovered earlier. But now, the incubation period had passed.
“Yes,” Tang Yuxin nodded, “also…” She quickly counted the number of people who had just come in with Gu Ning, “they need to be quarantined like you. If there’s no fever within 24 hours, there will be no problem.”
“And…” She comforted Gu Ning.
“Don’t worry, you’ll be fine. SARS isn’t that easy to contract.” Yes, he would be fine. She wouldn’t let anything happen to him, even if he were really infected, she would heal them.
“Thank you,” Gu Ning said again, then nodded to his own soldiers. They all understood the doctor’s intentions and prepared to go into quarantine cooperatively.
“Shen Fei, is he alright?”
Gu Ning had already taken off his clothes when Tang Yuxin took out a thermometer to measure his temperature.
“He’s okay, he’s in recovery.” He will be the same as before with no difference. Tang Yuxin looked at the thermometer.
38.5 degrees Celsius.
She blinked her eyes, her heart heavy.
“Comrade, are you feeling unwell?”
This was already a high fever. If a person reached this body temperature, they would have already felt discomfort. How could he be so nonchalant?
