No one knew how much blood he had lost on the way. Lu Luochen's lips had lost all color.
"Sir, if you don't treat your wound soon, you may not be able to hold on until Madam's surgery is over. Don't you want to see Madam come out of the operating room safely with your own eyes?"
Seeing that Lu Luochen didn't say a word for a long time, Uncle Bai couldn't help but persuade him again.
This time, Lu Luochen moved. He propped himself up against the wall, but staggered a few steps due to excessive blood loss. After stabilizing his figure, he turned to look at the operating room again, then walked silently towards the emergency room.
It was more than half an hour later when Lu Luochen had his wound treated.
The female doctor who treated his wound was packing up her tools, but her eyes couldn't help but keep stealing glances at Lu Luochen.
Noticing the female doctor's gaze, Lu Luochen asked calmly, "What's wrong, Doctor? You've been looking at me. Is there any problem?"
Caught in the act of peeping, the female doctor blushed immediately and shook her head repeatedly.
"No, there's no problem. By the way, Mr. Lu, can I ask you a question?"
Lu Luochen nodded slightly. He wasn't surprised that the other party knew his identity.
"Um, do you still remember the incident half a month ago when you passed by an overpass and accidentally saved a child who was about to fall off the bridge?"
Lu Luochen raised his eyebrows, obviously recalling the incident.
That day, as usual, he was on his way home from work. His car broke down just under an overpass. He had no choice but to get out of the car and wait for the towing company to come.
After waiting for less than two minutes, he saw a five - or six - year - old child sitting on the handrail of the overpass stairs, playing as if it were a slide.
Lu Luochen frowned immediately. The reason was simple: such an action was extremely dangerous, and there was no adult around the child. The child was at risk of falling at any time.
Thinking this way, Lu Luochen subconsciously took a few steps closer. However, at that moment, an accident happened. Somehow, the child suddenly fell off the handrail. Lu Luochen's pupils constricted. He took three steps in two and ran over extremely fast to catch the child.
The child might have been scared. After being put on the ground, the child just kept crying. When asked where his parents were, the child didn't answer.
Lu Luochen had always had little patience for such crying children. He didn't want to care anymore. Since there was a police station not far away, he simply took the child to the police station and left without bothering anymore.
However, he didn't expect that half a month after this incident, it would still be mentioned.
He looked at the young female doctor in front of him and said calmly, "Yes, I did save a child half a month ago. What's the problem?"
"No, no. Mr. Lu, please don't misunderstand. Actually, that child is my younger brother. I just want to express my gratitude to you in person. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to my younger brother. If he had been unlucky enough to hit his head first, he might have died on the spot. Really, I'm really grateful to you."
The female doctor explained with an embarrassed look on her face.
Lu Luochen nodded calmly: "I've received your gratitude. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he stood up and was about to walk out.
"Hey, wait." The female doctor suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Luochen's hem. Stuttering under his obviously displeased gaze, she said, "S, sorry. I just forgot to tell you that you shouldn't let the wound get wet within a week. Come back to remove the stitches after a week."
"I see. Thank you." Lu Luochen replied casually and then turned around and left.
It wasn't until Lu Luochen had walked far away that the doctor carefully took out her phone, took a photo of his back, and then put it into her private photo album.
Lu Luochen returned to the operating room door. Less than five minutes later, the operating room door opened, and Wen Sining, as pale as paper, was wheeled out by the doctor.
The doctor took off his mask and said to Lu Luochen in a normal tone:
"The surgery was very successful. However, there are a few points I need to emphasize to the patient's family. Are you the patient's family?"
Lu Luochen nodded: "I'm her husband."
"Okay, remember. After the patient wakes up, let the patient get out of bed early to exhaust gas. This can promote the patient's gastrointestinal function recovery, and it's also beneficial for preventing intestinal adhesion, as well as preventing deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs or hypostatic pneumonia."
"Second, wait until the patient's gastrointestinal function recovers before starting a liquid diet. Gradually transition from a liquid diet to a normal diet."
"Third, pay attention to observing the situation of incision infection. If the patient's incision becomes red, swollen, hot, and painful, or even an abscess appears, tell the medical staff in time. Also, note that the patient should not move too much to avoid the wound splitting."
After the doctor gave detailed instructions, he left, and Wen Sining was sent to the ward by the nurse.
The anesthetic hadn't worn off yet. Wen Sining was sleeping soundly in the hospital bed. Lu Luochen sat beside the bed, staring at her without blinking, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he blinked.
Uncle Bai stood quietly three steps away from Lu Luochen. Seeing this, he shook his head slightly and turned around to quietly walk out.
He was going to report the good news to the two old men who were waiting anxiously for his news at the Lu family mansion.
Lu Luochen was completely unaware of when Uncle Bai left. From the moment he noticed that something was wrong with Wen Sining until now when Wen Sining was lying quietly in the hospital bed, several hours had passed. The originally pitch - black sky had turned grayish - white.
He had been working overtime on official documents until midnight last night. He had slept for less than two hours when he was woken up by Wen Sining's phone call. Then he had been through a series of things until now, and he had lost so much blood. In fact, Lu Luochen was very tired now, but he just stubbornly refused to sleep.
When Uncle Bai brought breakfast, he saw the faint dark circles under Lu Luochen's eyes and was silent for a while.
"Sir, the doctor said that Madam will probably wake up this afternoon. You'd better take a rest first. Then you'll be more energetic to take care of Madam when she wakes up."
Uncle Bai said softly with his head down.
"I know. I'll sleep later." Lu Luochen replied hoarsely. He glanced casually at the breakfast in Uncle Bai's hand and waved his hand. "I have no appetite. I won't have breakfast. Uncle Bai, remember to tell the servants at home to prepare some porridge for nourishing the stomach and keep it warm."
"Yes, sir." Uncle Bai replied respectfully and left with the breakfast again.
After Uncle Bai left, Lu Luochen sat still for another half an hour before getting up to wash up.
Since both of his hands had been stitched, medicated, and wrapped like a mummy, and the doctor had told him not to let them get wet, Lu Luochen found two bags to put on his hands. He washed up roughly and then lay down on the escort bed beside the hospital bed to take a nap.
A few minutes later, the long, steady breathing sound of Lu Luochen came from the ward.
