Chapter 928 Sacrificing Legs
Leng Zhiyuan fell asleep, but she was so sleepy that she didn't know what time it was. There was a step beside the bed, and a strong arm came over. She turned around habitually, and then lay on the man's chest obediently.
"What time is it?" She nudged the man's neck and asked dazedly with her eyes closed.
Zhou Yao leaned over and kissed her forehead, and said softly and quietly, "It's very late, don't open your eyes or talk, just continue to sleep."
"Oh."
Zhou Yao covered the quilt for the two of them, hugged her tightly, and then closed his eyes.
...
This sleep lasted until the early morning. Zhou Yao slowly opened his eyes and looked out the window. It was seven o'clock now.
He got up late.
Usually, his sleep is very light, and occasionally when he is on a mission abroad, he will also suffer from jet lag. It is good to sleep for four hours, so he usually gets up very early, around five o'clock, and then goes for a run, but today he got up two hours late. The first reason is that he was too tired recently, and the second is the woman in his arms.
He lowered his eyes to look at Leng Zhiyuan, she was still nestling in his arms, her body was soft and fragrant, he didn't want to let go when he held her.
Gently pulling back his arm, he got up and let her sleep a little longer.
He was about to get out of bed when the woman behind him sat up. Her soft and boneless body fell directly on his back. She rubbed her sleepy eyes with her fists and said softly, "Is it dawn? Should I get up? I still want to sleep..."
Hearing her soft voice, Zhou Yao's heart melted. He turned sideways to hug her. Her little head was nodding in his arms, and she seemed to be really sleepy. He reached out to push aside the black hair on her face, revealing her delicate little face as white as tofu. She pouted her red lips and was very dissatisfied, probably complaining that he woke her up.
He kissed her hair and coaxed her with a smile, "I'm going to get up, you sleep a little longer..."
"No." She stretched out her slender white hand to grab the shirt around his waist, and said coquettishly, "Let's sleep together..."
Zhou Yao is a man who likes to be soft but not hard. After being with Leng Zhiyuan, she rarely acted like this to him. Now that he heard her acting coquettish, all the muscles and bones in his body softened.
He suddenly remembered a sentence, gentle land, hero's grave.
His tough facial features were soaked in a piece of soft water. He raised his right wrist to look at the watch, then... sleep a little longer.
He hugged her soft waist and lay back on the bed with her.
...
At 7:30, Xiao Zhi had been looking back and forth outside the door for several times. He was holding the breakfast plate in his hand. He had sent the breakfast once and it became cold, so he changed it to heat it up again. He had been watching from 6:30 to 7:30.
Why didn't the major general get up?
Xiao Zhi felt very puzzled. The major general never stayed in bed in the team for ten years. Why did he get up so late today?
Is it because of his sister-in-law?
Xiao Zhi also figured it out. He felt relieved. It was only three days since the major general had undergone surgery. During these three days, the major general had to find his sister-in-law and comfort Han Xuan. He was very tired of dealing with the two women. He, a bystander, could see that he also wanted the major general to stay in bed for more rest, but the major general refused. Now that his sister-in-law was here, everything was fine.
He finally saw that only his sister-in-law could win over the major general.
The major general listened to his sister-in-law alone.
At this time, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and several foreign doctors rushed over.
"Mr. Xiao Zhi, where is Major General Zhou?" The bearded attending doctor came forward and asked anxiously.
"Oh, my major general has something to deal with. May I ask what happened? Is it Miss Han Xuan's condition..." Xiao Zhi asked.
"Yes, I have new progress on Miss Han Xuan's condition, but I need to ask Major General Zhou."
"This..." Xiao Zhi was embarrassed. Miss Han Xuan's condition was very urgent, but the major general was still... sleeping.
At this time, the door creaked open, and Zhou Yao walked out with his long legs spread out.
"Major General!"
Zhou Yao glanced at Xiao Zhi, then turned to the bearded attending doctor, and asked directly, "What new progress, just tell me."
He heard the conversation between the doctor and Xiao Zhi outside the door just now.
"Major General Zhou, the toxin in Miss Han's body is spreading rapidly. At the current rate of spread, she may not survive... a month."
Zhou Yao's face sank, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
"Yesterday we discussed it for a whole night and decided to take a risk. We want to give Miss Han the toxin immediately. I am 70% sure that I can lead the toxin in Miss Han's body to her legs..."
"Legs? What do you mean?"
"It means that in order to save Miss Han's life, we may have to sacrifice her legs."
Zhou Yao listened and said nothing.
Xiao Zhi stepped forward in shock, "What, sacrifice both legs? Miss Han Xuan... will become disabled and rely on a wheelchair for the rest of her life? No, Miss Han Xuan will not agree. She has a strong personality and she is still young. I believe she would rather die than become disabled..."
"Mr. Xiao Zhi, this is the most feasible way at present. This operation can save Miss Han's life, and she will not have to suffer from illness in the future."
Xiao Zhi did not speak. If this operation is really carried out, Miss Han Xuan will not have to suffer from illness in the future, but she will have to suffer from mental torture.
A healthy person cannot understand the world of disabled people.
"Okay, let's do the operation immediately." At this time, Zhou Yao spoke.
Xiao Zhi was shocked, "Major General..."
"Major General Zhou, this operation cannot be told to Miss Han in advance, so as not to encounter her strong opposition. As for the risks during the operation and the recovery in the future..."
"I am fully responsible."...
The doctor and Xiao Zhi left, Zhou Yao pushed open the door of the room and walked in. He washed up briefly and then walked to the clothes rack to pick up the black leather jacket and put it on. He walked to the bed quietly and took a look at the woman on the bed. She was still sleeping.
She was sleeping very sweetly.
Zhou Yao curled the corners of his lips, full of tenderness, he turned around and left the room.
Hearing the moment the door of the room closed, Leng Zhiyuan on the bed slowly opened his eyes...
...
The operation lasted for four hours, and Zhou Yao had been guarding outside the operating door until the bearded doctor came out to report to him, "Major General Zhou, the operation was very successful."
Zhou Yao's silent face relaxed for a moment, and he looked at Han Xuan who was pushed out by the nurse, and asked, "When will she wake up?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, she will wake up after the anesthesia wears off, about an hour."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Zhou Yao thanked the bearded doctor.
The bearded doctor nodded and walked away.
At this time, a "ding" sound was heard, and the phone in Zhou Yao's trouser pocket rang.
He took it out and saw that it was a text message.
"Xiao Zhi." Putting the phone back into his trouser pocket, Zhou Yao waved to Xiao Zhi who was not far away.
