First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space-Chapter 138 - 138 Apologize Right Now
138 Apologize Right Now
Qi Lei pointed to the area below the right side of his shoulder, indicating that the arrow landed there.
A barb arrow was extremely difficult to pull out. One misstep could lead to the patient’s death. If one forces it out, a blood hole may be created where the patient was shot and the patient may bleed to death.
Since Qi Lei didn’t have the confidence to pull out the sword, she had to come to Lu Jiao to see if she had any way to get rid of the arrow.
Lu Jiao was relieved to hear the case.
!!
To her, getting the barb arrow out wasn’t the most difficult part. The difficult part was what to do afterward. To stitch up the wound, the patient needed antibiotics. An IV was out of the question, which left her the option to give the patient lots of pills.
Lu Jiao was worried that the others would get suspicious to see antibiotics. She had to think of a way to explain it.
Lu Jiao’s collectedness eased the tension Qi Lei felt.
“Lady Lu, do you have the confidence to get the arrow out?” 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
Lu Jiao nodded, “It’s not difficult. Don’t worry.”
Qi Lei’s heart finally fell back to place.
On the other side, Classmate Han gawked at Qi Lei in surprise, “Are you the doctor who operated on Yunjin?”
Qi Lei froze for a second before nodding, “That’s right.”
Classmate Han didn’t say more. Something was off… Logically speaking, the doctor who operated on Xie Yunjin should be a great doctor. Why would a doctor like that come to find Yunjin’s wife for medical advice?
On top of that, Dr. Qi appeared to highly respect Yunjin’s wife.
Just what was happening? Classmate Han was confused.
The horse carriage rushed into Qili and headed straight to Baohe Tang.
Once Lu Jiao and the others got off the carriage, Manage Li came to greet them, “Lady Lu, you’re finally here. Please come with me.”
Lu Jiao, Qi Lei, Classmate Han, and Manager Li went to the small building located in the backyard.
The building was well lit with several people guarding door. Though none of them spoke, their aura made it obvious that they were no ordinary people. Lu Jiao didn’t have time to think too much and entered the building, straight to the patient’s room.
Outside the room, two men in black stood. The two men showed no emotions as they blocked Lu Jiao when she tried to enter.
Behind her, Qi Lei explained, “I invited Lady Lu. She’s a great doctor and she’ll be able to get the arrow out of the patient.”
Lu Jiao glared at the men in black. Weren’t they being overboard?
Just then, the men who stopped her made way for her to enter.
Behind her, Classmate Han tried to go in as well but was stopped by the men in black, “Strangers are not allowed in.”
Lu Jiao turned around and said to Classmate Han, “Classmate Han, you can wait for me outside.”
“Okay, if anything happens, call me.”
Classmate Han was looking at the men in black like they were the enemy. For some reason, he was sure that they weren’t good people.
Lu Jiao entered the room with Qi Lei. Currently, nervousness filled the room.
On the bed, there was a man with an arrow near his chest. He was passed out from his injuries. Lu Jiao glanced at him and found him to be wearing a very high-quality robe.
It was obvious for her to conclude that this man was not only wealthy but also of high status.
Everyone in the room turned to Lu Jiao. One of the men, who was cold and handsome, asked in a low voice, “Master Zhao, this is the doctor you were referring to?”
Zhao Lingfeng glanced at Lu Jiao, “Yes.”
He strolled towards Lu Jiao and calmly questioned, “Lady Lu, are you confident enough to remove the arrow?” 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m
Lu Jiao looked at Zhao Lingfeng. Though he pretended to be calm, his anxiety was hard to hide. The anxiousness he displayed was more than the nervousness you get while under duress, but more like worried.
Lu Jiao glanced towards the man on the bed. Could it be that he had some kind of involvement with the wounded man?
Lu Jiao stopped her train of thought. She wasn’t interested.
She only wanted to cure the wounded and make money.
“I can try.”
She walked to the bed. The cold and proud-looking man from before stopped her from getting closer, “Are you confident?”
Lu Jiao’s lips curled slightly, “I can only do my best. As for confidence? Doctors never make promises. If you are worried, I don’t have to do anything.”
She was invited here to try and save that man’s life. Just who were they to act so arrogant right now?
Lu Jiao stared at the man in disdain.
At once, the atmosphere turned frigid and cold. Zhao Lingfeng walked over quickly and said to the man, “Mobei, the young master cannot wait any longer. Let her try. If she can’t, then nobody can get rid of the young master’s arrow.”
Zhao Lingfeng’s words surprised Mobei. What kind of countryside woman was she to have earned such respect from third young master Zhao? How rare.
Mo Bei glared at Lu Jiao and warned, “You better not play any tricks. Or else…”
Before he finished, Lu Jiao had already lost her patience and turned around.
“I’m fine with not removing the arrow. Nobody says you must get rid of the arrow. You take me here in the middle of the night and haven’t said a single kind word. Yet you want me to get out the arrow for you?”
Behind her, Mo Bei’s face dropped. He’s never met a woman like this… was she really only a countryside woman? Even the women from the Capital City get scared when he’s near, yet this woman thought nothing of him.
Mo Bei stopped Lu Jiao, “Did I allow you to leave?”
Lu Jiao found her hands itching. Though this man likely knew martial arts and was probably good at it, he was asking for a beating.
Inside the room, Zhao Lingfeng and Qi Lei went to her, “Lady Lu, don’t blame him. Mo Bei is just very worried about the young master and has lost his politeness. Don’t blame him.”
Lu Jiao gaped at Mo Bei, “Apologize.”
Mo Bei was furious and almost lost it. Beside him, Zhao Lingfeng grabbed him and scolded, “Do you want to save the young master or not?!”
This made Mo Bei speechless. He snapped his head at Lu Jiao, “I’m sorry. I was rude.”
Lu Jiao wasn’t an unreasonable person, especially when the patient was in critical danger. She glanced at Mo Bei, then went to the patient. This time, nobody stopped her.
Lu Jiao first checked out the wound from the arrow. It was deep. Based on the shape, it was definitely a barb arrow. To get it out, she had to cut him open, get close to the tip of the arrow, pull the arrow out the same way it went in, then stitch him back up.
