The sudden news was like a bolt from the blue. I ran crazily and even ignored the speeding cars. The passersby were shocked when they saw this scene. Before they could take a picture with their phones, I was already out of their sight.
Ten minutes later, I arrived at the First People's Hospital. In the waiting area in front of the emergency room, I saw my parents. They looked very anxious.
My mother-in-law was crying so hard that she couldn't speak. Her arm was wrapped in bandages. It turned out that this morning, the mother-daughter pair had been taking a walk in the park near the neighborhood. All of a sudden, a criminal had dashed out of nowhere with a switchblade in his hand. Without saying a word, he attacked my sister-in-law. My mother-in-law tried to stop him, but she was also cut. After stabbing my sister-in-law, the criminal ran away. Seeing my sister-in-law covered in blood, my mother-in-law was scared half to death. She hurriedly called 120 for an ambulance and informed my father-in-law and me.
Moreover, not long ago, the doctor came out of the emergency room and told them that my sister-in-law was pregnant. The situation was very difficult, and the child was most likely going to die. My parents were shocked. They hadn't told them about the child, so they were at a loss. They could only call me.
"Xiao Zhuang, what should we do now?"
My mother-in-law asked with a sad face. My father-in-law didn't say a word. His eyes were gloomy, and it wasn't hard to see his pain.
It was too sudden, and I was about to lose my mind. Moreover, it had only been one day, and we were going to be separated by life and death.
"Where's the doctor?!"
As soon as I said that, the emergency room door opened. I ignored the doctor who was trying to stop me and rushed in. Soon, I saw my sister-in-law on the operating table. Her face was pale, and she had fainted. There were a lot of bandages stained with blood next to her. In the operating room, the faint smell of blood covered the smell of disinfectant.
I held her small hand. It was cold without any warmth. My nose felt sour, and I couldn't describe the discomfort I felt.
I wasn't unfamiliar with this scene. Last time, when my cousin got into a car accident, we had to go through the emergency room. Then, the doctor came out and told us that we didn't have much time left. At that time, I was only sad for a short while because my cousin was a troublemaker. He had committed too many sins, and he didn't have a direction for the future. To him, death was a rare relief.
But now that something had happened to my sister-in-law, I couldn't stay calm. My whole body was shaking. She was the most important woman in my life. If something happened to her, I didn't know if I could handle it.
"Sir, the operation is not over yet. Please cooperate with us."
"Yes, you broke in without permission. If you carry any germs, it's easy to make things worse."
The nurses hurried to persuade me. Indeed, I just wanted to see my sister-in-law, and I didn't consider this. If my sister-in-law got infected, it would only make the operation more difficult.
I showed an apologetic expression and reluctantly left the emergency room. When I closed the door, the white-coat doctor couldn't help but reprimand me. "Sir, please calm down. Rushing in like this will not only disturb the operation, but it will also bring many unexpected risks!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I kept apologizing, and the man in the lab coat didn't argue.
"Doctor, how is my daughter?" the mother-in-law asked hurriedly.
"If the operation goes smoothly, it won't be a problem to save the mother, and the child will probably have a miscarriage. But … her injuries are quite complicated, and she might lose the ability to have children in the future." The white-coat doctor sighed and shook his head.
My heart skipped a beat, and I said anxiously, "No, I don't care how much money you have to use. Both the adult and the child must be saved!
I have money, really. I don't care about the medical fees. I'll also give you an extra red packet. Just tell me how much you want. "
"Sir, this isn't a problem of money. You don't understand her situation. She has several injuries and a lot of bleeding. Fortunately, her body is quite good, and she made it to the hospital. If it was a weak little girl, she would have died on the spot. We only had the confidence to save her after discussing the operation plan many times," the white-coat doctor said helplessly.
Hearing him say that, my mind went blank. With a plop, I knelt on the ground. I always thought that a man's knees were gold. Other than kneeling to my father when I did something wrong when I was young, I had never done something like this. When I grew up, he knew that I had pride, so he didn't make me kneel. But at this moment, I couldn't help but do this, and I didn't think it was embarrassing.
"Doctor, I'm begging you, please save them. They're my wife and child," I said in a low voice.
I said in a low voice. If it was just a miscarriage, I could still accept it, but losing the ability to have children was a huge blow to my sister-in-law. I understood her pain. She had been with my cousin for a few years, but she had never been able to become a mother. It was my appearance that allowed her to get pregnant. Every day, she looked forward to having her belly grow bigger. She had been planning a beautiful future with me. Now that all of this was gone, how could she accept it!?
Facing my begging, the white-coat doctor said with slight mockery, "It's useless even if you beg me. You have such a good wife, but you don't take good care of her. Now that something like this has happened, you're counting on us doctors, seriously …"
Without waiting for him to finish, I suddenly stood up, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up. Both of his feet were in the air. Then, a sharp force burst forth, and a sense of death enveloped the white-coat doctor. I stared into his eyes and growled, "If anything happens to her and the child, I'll make you disappear from this world!"
The white-coat doctor couldn't help but shiver, and said with a sobbing tone: "Sir, put me down, I really don't have a choice."
Seeing him like this, I really believed him. If this guy lied to me for a moment, then he would only suffer worse consequences.
I let go of him, and said with a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, I was too rash just now. You guys treat him first. If there's really no other way, then save Master."
"Okay, okay." The white-coat doctor let out a breath of relief, as if he was running away from the God of Plague.
Not long later, two streams of tears wet my face. Could it be that she and I are destined not to have a child?
No, it was all done by that criminal. This isn't a natural disaster, it's purely a man-made disaster.
I contacted Chief Qu without hesitation, and told him to arrest that criminal at all costs. When Chief Qu heard the news, he was shocked, because my serious tone this time was even more sorrowful than when Little Cherry went missing.
After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but hug my head and cry. Although this was a public area, I couldn't control my emotions. The two elders could also feel my sorrow, as if the entire hospital was filled with a heavy feeling.
