Chapter 470: Chapter 464: The Surgery, She Performs
Of course, she didn’t know the consequences of taking this medication yet, but it wouldn’t be good.
She poured the pills out of the bottle, feeling as if she was courting death. In her previous life, Sang Zhilan and her daughter were responsible for her demise. Now, it felt like she was nearing death once again due to their actions.
She put the medicine in her mouth and swallowed it. She had no other choice, she couldn’t hold on any longer. If she could hold on, she would rather crawl than take medicine meant for people who were on the brink of death.
At first, there was no effect after taking the medicine. However, a few minutes later, she clenched her hand over her chest, feeling a burning sensation that was incredibly uncomfortable.
The wound on her back was still hurting.
Perhaps this medication wasn’t enough, she needed to get a painkiller injection.
...
She took out her phone, but she didn’t know who to call. She knew that after this surgery, she would probably be completely incapacitated, and she might not even have anyone to take care of her.
She didn’t dare to call her father or her uncle. And she realized, pitifully, that she couldn’t find a single person who could care for her.
Until she saw the name at the top of her contact list.
She pressed on the name and sent out a text.
“Uncle Gu, I might be crippled. Can you come and take care of me?” But just before she hit send, she added a sentence, “Uncle Gu, you said, can pain really be avoided? But what if I’m really scared of the pain?”
Actually, everyone is afraid of pain. No one can say they are not.
Fear of pain is a human instinct, just like eating, sleeping, and breathing.
She put down her phone, got out of the hospital bed and felt a lot lighter, but her chest was still burning. She could feel her heart beating hard and fast, much faster and more noticeable than before.
This must be the effect of a modern stimulant, but without as many side effects.
“Why didn’t they perform the surgery earlier? Why did they wait until it was this serious?” She stood outside, her harsh voice resounding everywhere.
A doctor who was about to go in couldn’t bear it anymore.
He walked over and stood in front of Jin’s Mother.
“Madam, Dr. Xiaotang is doing the surgery after injecting herself with a painkiller. You should know, she’s risking her life to perform this surgery.”
But Jin’s mother was still indifferent because she was not a doctor and did not understand.
“Ma’am, do you think this is something she should naturally do?” He asked. But the way Jin’s mother ignored his words hurt him deeply.
Jin’s mother kept the same expression.
The doctor turned around, took a few steps, then turned again. His words echoed throughout the room.
“Mrs. Jin, you have no relation to our Dr. Xiaotang. You didn’t give birth to her, nor raise her. She doesn’t need to risk her life for irrelevant people like you. Please do not take her for granted. She could have decided not to save your son because she is not obligated to. She is enduring her back wound and risking her life just because she is a doctor. You can disrespect us, but after the surgery, could you please stay away from her?”
Jin’s mother wanted to retort, but saw Dean Zhu approaching.
“Dean Zhu, look, look...” She pointed at the doctor who just went into the operating room, “That Xiaotang doctor, after operating on my son, is she just going to leave him?”
Dean Zhu didn’t respond; he stood at the door, for the first time feeling a sort of sad dignity.
“Mrs. Jin, I’ve already spoken to your son’s doctor: after the surgery, we will arrange for a transfer immediately. Our hospital’s facilities and service are not as good as those private hospitals. We’re afraid we cannot take care of your son properly.”
This was a sign for her to leave.
Jin’s mother wasn’t stupid; she understood the implication.
She sat on the rest chair outside, her eyes glued to the operating room.
If her son’s leg could be saved, she certainly wouldn’t want to stay in this hospital, which didn’t even have a proper shopping mall, and where the food was like pig swill.
