Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 762: Must Operate Immediately
Finally seeing the person she wanted to see, her inner strength naturally faltered, and in an instant, all the grievances she harbored burst forth.
What else could Jiang Ye do?
For a moment, he felt an unbearable heartache.
He stretched out his arm and pulled the woman into his embrace.
The grievance in Lu Jing’s heart almost dissipated as well, and she didn’t hold on for long:
"Alright, alright, let go."
Rescue operations were waiting everywhere, who had time for such sentimental displays?
Jiang Ye had no choice but to release the woman from his arms, but at the same time, he also gave her a word of caution:
"Be careful, call me if you need anything."
"Mhm."
After responding, she walked away, a large backpack on her back tugging at the man’s heartstrings.
But now, no matter how much his heart ached, personal matters had to wait. The rescue came first.
....
The firemen heaved a sigh of relief with the arrival of Lu Jing and her team.
Now everyone just needed to find the people buried underneath, and once found, they would start digging.
Even though there were only three of them, each member of Lu Jing’s team was highly capable, each worth at least two ordinary rescuers.
It didn’t take long for the injured villagers to receive effective treatment.
Of course, those with severe injuries still had to wait for helicopter evacuation.
The scene was simply not up to the standards for surgery, and to perform surgery there irresponsibly would not only face various procedural issues but, most importantly, a great risk of infection.
Once infection set in, it would be dangerous.
Therefore, on-site surgery was not an option unless there was absolutely no other choice.
"Doctor Lu, take a break."
Lu Jing was kneeling on the ground, bandaging a villager’s head that had been injured by falling debris:
"No need."
But the Nurse Director was concerned and sped up her own pace significantly.
About half a minute later, the bandaging was finished, and she immediately moved over:
"Here, give it to me, you rest."
Lu Jing had been kneeling for almost an hour, which was tiresome for anyone, let alone a pregnant woman.
Moreover, the Nurse Director had been through it all before; how could she not know how tiring pregnancy was?
The gauze was taken from Lu Jing’s hands, and she paused for a moment in surprise.
Coming back to her senses, she couldn’t help but smile warmly:
"Nurse Director, thank you."
"Don’t mention it, get out of the way."
Lu Jing promptly moved aside and sat down on a large rock, not minding whether it was dirty.
Meanwhile, other team members were carrying a heavy load-bearing beam.
"Hold on!"
"Don’t worry, we’ve got it, it’s fine!"
Their teeth were grinding audibly with the effort.
Seeing this made Lu Jing’s heart clench, and finally, she couldn’t help herself:
"Nurse Director, I’m going over to take a look."
"Go ahead, just be careful."
....
Lu Jing moved closer, stopping about three or four meters away.
Just then, a team member shouted:
"Medic, come and take a look!"
"Coming, coming."
A young boy, no more than seven or eight years old, was trapped under the rubble, barely clinging to life.
Upon examination by the medic, the gravity of the situation was immediately apparent:
"We need to perform surgery immediately."
Surgery?
"The helicopter hasn’t arrived..."
"We can’t wait, the surgery must be done now, or the child won’t make it." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Gasp!
Even though Lu Jing was standing far away, she could hear everyone’s conversation clearly:
"Let me take a look."
At her words, the team members immediately cleared a path.
A younger team member even started crying:
"Sister-in-law, please save him, he’s just a kid."
Lu Jing nodded:
"I’ll do my best."
Even Jiang Ye couldn’t utter a single word of objection at that moment.
