“Why would you save him?” Li Jia was so infuriated she could kick someone, “What’s the point of saving such a person who has killed so many?”

Tang Yuxin took another look at the film, without expressing any of her opinions. All she knew was that the person before her was not a prisoner, a robber, nor an executioner who had killed countless people.

Even if this was the person who had hurt Gu Ning.

To her now, he was just a patient, a patient who needed surgery.

“Arrange the operation immediately,” Tang Yuxin put down the film and addressed those around her.

“But…” the nurse on duty hesitated, “All the doctors are busy, there’s no one available for this operation,” Even the Director of the hospital was occupied in the operating room. Furthermore, of all the doctors in their hospital, only three dared to perform such a large thoracotomy. Even if other doctors were around, they probably wouldn’t take on this patient.

The operation was too complex, extremely risky, being only a centimeter away from the heart. The slightest mishap could lead to massive hemorrhage, followed by irreversible death.

Tang Yuxin was somewhat troubled, but after some thought, she raised her head.

“I’ll conduct this surgery.” She had performed many significant thoracotomies before, cardiac surgery was her strong suit and she was 90% confident.

No one objected to her decision. At this stage, she was the only one who could do it because most of the doctors were in the middle of operations, and none could perform such a large-scale thoracotomy. The fact that she could voice this and take up the responsibility showed that she had at least an 80% success rate for the operation.

“Yuxin…” Li Jia quickly grabbed her sleeve, “How can you operate on him? Have you forgotten? Your uncle’s blood might have been shed by this guy. You just donated so much blood for him, can you do it?”

“He is a patient,” Tang Yuxin wanted to laugh but couldn’t. She had been a doctor for so long. When she stood at the operating table, she was just a doctor. Regardless of who was lying in the bed, they were all patients.

There’s no difference between patients, the only distinction lies in what illness they have and what kind of surgery they need.

Soon after, the preoperative preparation work was ready. Tang Yuxin asked a nurse to take extra care of Gu Ning, then she entered the operating room. Truthfully, when she heard that the person inside had almost drained Gu Ning’s blood, she wanted for an instant to squeeze that person’s heart. In his previous life, Gu Ning survived because of her death, and no matter what, she didn’t want Gu Ning to die in this life. This was the young boy who had saved her back then, and Uncle Gu, who had helped her time and time again.

She let out a soft sigh and cleared her intrusive, irritable thoughts. Then, she moved to the operating table. After picking up the surgical knife, she began the operation. Once the patient’s chest cavity was opened, she could see his beating heart. It would take just a slight deviation of her hand for this man to survive but not for long. She had a hundred methods to ensure he could leave the operating table but would never leave the hospital bed. However, in the end, she chose not to do that. She believed that Gu Ning would want him alive. As for what had happened, it wasn’t her place as a doctor to intervene.

She used a pair of forceps to extract the bullet, then she closed the chest cavity and began suturing. She performed the operation deftly and neatly without much blood loss. You could say it was a flawless procedure.

When she walked out, she could hear applause outside.

“The surgery was very successful. Excellent work,” said the Director Zhu, patting her on the shoulder, “Quite promising.”

Tang Yuxin merely smiled, gripping her hand tightly at her side. Life and death truely hung by a thread.

She turned around to look at the criminal being wheeled out. Who could know that this man could have committed such cruel deeds and hurt so many people? And in the end, she had to save his life. But what awaited him wasn’t someone else, it was the sanction of the law.

At night, she didn’t go home to rest. There were too many patients in the hospital and many were critically ill. As a result, most doctors stayed on, prepared to deal with any unpredictable circumstances.

Tang Yuxin opened the door of the ward and walked in. Gu Ning was in a single room. He only had some external injuries, the worst of which was a cut on the wrist. But the injuries nearly cost him his life.

Gu Ning opened his eyes and stared at Tang Yuxin.

Tang Yuxin sat down without saying a word.

“What do you want to ask?” Gu Ning sat up slightly. After half a day of recuperation, he seemed somewhat stronger. Perhaps it was because he was young and had good health, so his recovery was easier than most. However, even with exceptional recovery ability, his body couldn’t withstand multiple severe and minor injuries. Yet another hospital stay – How long had it been? Was the hospital his second home?

“Humanity dictates that life is more important than anything else.”

Gu Ning stretched out his uninjured hand and gently touched Tang Yuxin’s hair.

“Though you may think I’m a bit foolish, I had no choice at the time. If I hadn’t stepped in, more lives could have been lost. Life is precious, you’re a doctor, you understand this better than I do.”

Tang Yuxin rolled her eyes, fearing that one day, he would die from such actions. Was it not good enough to be a security guard? Why did he have to constantly become a hero?

“What were the conditions?” She snorted. Although she didn’t know the circumstances and couldn’t imagine it because she wasn’t present nor faced such a horrifying scene.

“Nothing.” Gu Ning released his hand, feeling a sudden pain in his wrist.

“It was just a demonstration.”

“So, he almost bled you dry?”

Gu Ning didn’t want to talk about it, but that was the truth. The wound on his wrist wasn’t made-up, it was real. Tang Yuxin had stitched it up herself. He could fool anyone, but he couldn’t fool Tang Yuxin.

“Thank you for saving him. He can’t die yet. There could be more to uncover behind him, and we’ll only know once we investigate. He can die, but not now.”
