After several hours of travel, the train finally reached its destination, slowly stopping at East Sea City’s train station. As soon as they alighted, Qiu Yong and the others immediately carried Yuan Yun out of the station. At this moment, an ambulance was parked outside the train station, and Ling Chen and Tong Zhentian stood anxiously waiting at the exit passage. From the moment he received the call, Ling Chen had been restless, filled with nothing but worry. Although Qiu Yong hadn’t said much about Yuan Yun’s condition over the phone, Ling Chen could tell from his tone that Yuan Yun’s injuries were very serious.
In their anxious wait, the figures of Qiu Yong and his group finally appeared in their view.
"Big brother." Ling Chen quickly led Tong Zhentian over.
"Where’s the ambulance?"
"It’s outside." Ling Chen said, while casting his gaze onto Yuan Yun. At this moment, Yuan Yun had already awoken from his stupor. Facing Ling Chen’s concerned look, he forced a smile, saying, "Don’t worry, third brother is fine."
Once in the ambulance, several onboard nurses immediately placed an oxygen mask on Yuan Yun’s face and inserted an IV drip into his body. On the way to the hospital, everyone recounted to Ling Chen the events that had transpired on the train. Xia Yue, still shaken, said, "At that time, third brother said he was going to buy breakfast but didn’t return for a long time. Second brother and the others were worried that something had happened to him, so they went out to look for him. Fortunately, second brother and fourth brother went out in time, otherwise..."
As she spoke, Xia Yue’s eyes reddened slightly, tightly holding Yuan Yun’s hand.
Before long, the ambulance finally arrived at the hospital. After getting out, Ling Chen helped several nurses lift the stretcher and take Yuan Yun into the emergency room. At that moment, several doctors were already waiting at the door, prepared to perform surgery. Among these doctors, one was particularly special. She was not only female but also very young and beautiful.
At the emergency room door, Ling Chen urgently said, "Xiaozhu, it’s up to you now."
Upon hearing about Yuan Yun’s injury, he immediately called Zhu Xiaozhu, directly inviting her from Beijing to East Sea City. He had no choice; he trusted Zhu Xiaozhu’s medical skills the most. Watching Yuan Yun being taken into the emergency room, the group sat in the hospital corridor, waiting anxiously.
"Fifth sister, third brother will be fine. You’re familiar with Xiaozhu’s medical skills; she will surely be able to heal him." Ling Chen comforted Xia Yue. Among the Eight Oddities, her relationship with Yuan Yun was the best, and she was the most worried.
Time ticked away second by second. Ling Chen paced back and forth outside the emergency room door, his anxiety making it impossible for him to sit quietly and wait.
Twenty minutes passed, and the emergency room door finally opened. Seeing Zhu Xiaozhu emerge, everyone gathered around, impatiently asking, "Xiaozhu, how is he?"
Looking at their expectant eyes, Zhu Xiaozhu sighed lightly, shook her head, and said, "His arm is too severely injured. Even if we took measures immediately, it couldn’t recover to its previous flexibility, not to mention the delay; the arm has lost too much blood and is beyond saving."
Qiu Yong asked solemnly, "What should we do? Is there no other way?"
"That arm is already useless; the only solution is to amputate it. Otherwise, if forcibly kept, it will gradually become necrotic, greatly affecting his body." Zhu Xiaozhu said, "As a doctor, I recommend cutting it off."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other. Although they expected this outcome, hearing Zhu Xiaozhu say it made it hard to accept. Ling Chen was silent for a moment before asking, "Xiaozhu, is there really no other way?"
Zhu Xiaozhu shook her head, waiting for everyone’s decision.
"If that’s the case, we’ll follow your advice." After a while, Qiu Yong finally made a decision. As soon as he spoke, Xia Yue couldn’t control her emotions any longer and began to cry.
"I’ll go in and prepare now." Saying this, Zhu Xiaozhu gave Ling Chen a deep look and then turned back into the emergency room.
After more than an hour of amputation surgery, Yuan Yun was finally wheeled out of the emergency room. Seeing the empty sleeve on the right, everyone’s expressions darkened. Yuan Yun was a master with knives; now, without his right arm, how could he wield one? This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him. Since entering the emergency room, Yuan Yun hadn’t woken due to anesthesia and was unaware that his right arm had been amputated. When he wakes up, it’s uncertain if he can accept this.
Two hours later, the sleeping Yuan Yun finally regained consciousness. Opening his eyes and seeing everyone in the ward, Yuan Yun smiled and said, "Why are you all here?"
"Third brother." Ling Chen quickly approached the bed, looking at Yuan Yun’s somewhat pale face, asking with concern, "How are you feeling, are you alright?"
"What could be wrong with me." After a pause, Yuan Yun asked, "What happened just now? The doctors gave me anesthesia; I don’t remember anything."
Ling Chen hesitated for a moment, his gaze falling on the empty sleeve on his right side, unsure how to convey the news.
"Let me handle this." Qiu Yong stepped forward and said, "Third brother, before I speak, I hope you are prepared. Just now in the emergency room, the doctors told us that your right arm was too seriously injured and needed amputation, so..."
"So my right arm is gone?" Yuan Yun coughed lightly, forcing a smile, saying, "No wonder I couldn’t feel it. It’s okay, don’t be sad for me; surviving already feels like good fortune."
Qiu Yong nodded and said, "If you think this way, that’s best. Don’t worry; no matter what happens, your brothers will always be by your side."
"Third brother, you’ve just undergone major surgery; it’s best to rest more and not exert yourself too much."
"I’m not that weak. Sixth brother, big brother and the others have worked hard; take them back to rest first. The nurses here can take care of me."
"I’ll stay to look after third brother; you all go with sixth brother." Xia Yue said.
"Alright then." Qiu Yong replied, "Fifth sister, inform us immediately if anything comes up."
As they left the ward, Ling Chen was about to lead the group out when he saw Zhu Xiaozhu approaching. "Big brother, you all wait outside; I’ll be right over."
"Don’t forget to thank Miss Zhu."
After watching Qiu Yong and others leave, Ling Chen turned his gaze to Zhu Xiaozhu, approaching with a smile, saying, "Thank you for your help just now."
"It’s nothing; it’s my duty. How is your third brother?"
"He’s alright; it’s truly been a tough time for you."
