"How’s my little sister doing?" Xu Nian’an asked anxiously as soon as he saw the doctor emerge.
"The head surgery went well. Monitor her closely tonight, and if she wakes up tomorrow, she should be fine," the doctor replied, explaining further with many medical terms that Xu Nianhua’s left leg was injured and would need a month to recover before she could walk normally again.
"Doctor, after my little sister can walk normally again, will there be any impact on her leg?" Xu Nian’an asked anxiously, his sister being so outstanding, if this incident made it impossible for her to walk, then...
"Don’t worry, once her leg has recovered, it will be just as spry as before."
Seeing how concerned Xu Nian’an was, the doctor couldn’t help but remind him, "However, your sister has Panda Blood, so you must be careful. If a situation arises again where she needs a blood transfusion and it isn’t available on time, the situation could be very dangerous."
Today, Xu Nianhua had barely escaped with her life, fortunate that there was a kind-hearted person in the hospital with the same Panda Blood. Otherwise, waiting for blood to arrive from another hospital could have been a matter of life and death.
"Thank you for the reminder, Doctor."
Xu Nian’an was also scared now. Although Nianhua had always been frail as a child, she had never been in such a critical situation requiring a blood transfusion. Unexpectedly, his little sister turned out to have the extremely rare Panda Blood.
But, he hadn’t heard of anyone in their family having Panda Blood?
Xu Nian’an was puzzled as he watched his sister being moved to the intensive care unit, observing her pale face and bandaged head through the glass, his heart that had been hanging finally eased somewhat. If something had really happened to his sister, he wouldn’t have known how to face their parents.
"Little sister, you’re definitely going to be alright," Xu Nian’an muttered.
"She’ll definitely be safe and sound," Pei Yining, standing by his side, said, unable to stop thinking back to that horrifying moment. If Xu Nianhua hadn’t pushed her away in time, she might have been the one lying in the hospital bed.
Pei Yicheng, standing with them, blamed himself for not going to Medical University earlier. If he had been there sooner, maybe this tragedy wouldn’t have happened.
"Xu Nianhua has a will of heaven, she will definitely be safe. Are you guys hungry, want to eat something?" Lou Fan was already starving; earlier, concerned only about Xu Nianhua’s life-and-death situation, he hadn’t thought about anything else, but now that the surgery was over, his stomach began to protest.
"I can’t eat," Xu Nian’an said, wanting nothing but to stay right there.
Pei Yicheng said, "Lou Fan, just buy anything, thanks for the trouble."
"Brother Cheng, what are you talking about? We’re all family here, not strangers," Lou Fan waved him off and turned to go buy dinner.
"Yining, your hand is injured too," Pei Yicheng just then noticed that Pei Yining’s hand was injured.
Xu Nian’an remembered instantly when Pei Yining had grabbed him; there had been blood all over one hand. He lifted his hand and indeed, it was covered in blood.
"It’s a minor injury, no big deal," Pei Yining shook her head, her eyes on Xu Nian’an, she said, "But Second Brother Xu, aren’t your feet cold? You’re not even wearing shoes."
Xu Nian’an looked down and realized, belatedly, that he was shoeless, standing in just his socks. Walking back and forth so much, he felt his foot and said, "I think it’s so cold I’ve lost feeling."
