Chapter 796: [(796)] Rigid and cold like a dead person Chapter 796: [(796)] Rigid and cold like a dead person Several people were speaking when the sound of slapping flip-flops echoed down the corridor of the operating room.
“Who? Who called urology down here? They said there was a patient for surgery, but didn’t have us check first, what’s the point of sending them directly to the operating room?” Yin Fengchun, having been notified to come down, walked into the operating room and, seeing no one there to hand over the patient, had to raise his voice and shout.
Hearing his voice, Song Xueling felt as if he had a bone stuck in his throat, unable to make a sound, and the same went for Lin Hao.
“The patient is in that operating room.” A passing operating room nurse heard him and directed the people from urology, “They said the patient was sent down from cardiology.”
“A patient from cardiology? What’s the situation? Huang Zhilei was unclear on the phone.” As Yin Fengchun hurried toward the operating room, he continued to criticize the unclear resident on the phone.
No matter how much he complained about others’ lack of meticulous work, as a doctor, once he received notice of a patient in need of urgent assistance, he still promptly brought people down with him.
“He said it was a knife wound, but why would they bring him down from cardiology?” Xiao Li, the young resident from urology accompanying him, pondered over Huang Zhilei’s words via phone and grew more confused, “If it’s a trauma case, it’s unlikely to go through cardiology; it should go through cardiothoracic surgery. How could emergency not send a trauma patient to surgery?”
“It’s baffling.” After spitting out these words, Yin Fengchun stood at the entrance of the operating room.
Inside, Xie Wanying and the others faced him directly.
Seeing her appear in an instant, Yin Fengchun had an intuition of something amiss, his complexion changed dramatically, and with a livid tone he demanded, “Why are you here?”
Lin Hao was so frightened he wanted to clutch his own head. He recalled someone saying how cool the guy from urology was.
“Doctor Yin, it’s –” Xie Wanying couldn’t get a word out in time before seeing him swiftly rush toward the operating table.
Reaching the side of the operating table, Yin Fengchun’s gaze immediately fell on her almost bloodless face, “What happened–” his voice uncontrollably trembled.
He had just spoken with her half an hour ago, planning to have dinner together tomorrow, preparing himself to confess. How had she suddenly become a patient on his operating table?
He must be seeing things. His hand reached out to touch her face, her skin, and the icy stiffness relayed through his fingertips indicated that she was in shock.
His heart clenched with a sharp pain, he took a deep breath and asked, “Was it a car accident? Where is she hurt?”
It wasn’t a car accident. Everyone present saw his expression and, for a moment, no one knew how to respond to his question.
No need to ask further, Yin Fengchun’s gaze as a doctor quickly scanned over her body and, upon turning his head, he noticed the fruit knife lodged into her right abdomen.
The people there distinctly saw his face turn as dark as the bottom of a pot.
“Who did this?” Yin Fengchun asked, his words squeezed out through his pale lips, signaling that he was beyond furious.
How had she, who had been perfectly fine, suddenly been stabbed?
Having been in contact with her for a while, he knew what kind of girl she was; it couldn’t have been her starting the violence.
Who was it? Why would anyone want to hurt her?
As a doctor, he knew what it meant for this knife to have struck her there.
Xiao Li, who had come with him, was frightened by his demeanor, having never seen him before, and involuntarily took a step back.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly became as terrible as it could be. Lin Hao felt as if the sky was falling. If his classmate’s friend died, how would he face his classmate and Doctor Yin in the future?
