Jiang Yuyan was lying on the bed, unconscious, wounded, wrapped in a bandage on her head, oxygen mask on her face, IV drips attached to her one hand, patients monitor and other medical instruments attached to her to monitor her condition. There was the dead silence with just the beep sound coming from one machine.
Physically she was not in a critical condition as there was one small surgery to perform with her head injury and had a hairline fracture in her hand and few deep wounds on the different parts of the body, few of them caused by the broken glass pieces of the windscreen beside her.
Jiang Yang remembered his sister was pregnant and went through the reports which suggested the abortion as the shock her body got was a huge one which already affected the baby and her own body. There was no way for the baby to survive and Jiang Yuyan could carry one.
Jiang Yuyan had been sent to the surgery room where Jiang Yang was not needed. He preferred to attend Lu Jinhai as he was in serious condition, almost at the edge of death whom all the specialist doctors were busy attending.
When Lu Jinhai was getting transferred to the surgery room, Jiang Yang went to the head doctor and offered to be in the team of the doctors performing the surgery. Lu Jinhai was gravely injured at his head and had a serious brain injury. In the past, he had already suffered from a brain injury caused by his accident, and another blow on it was fatal for him.
Jiang Yang wanted to handle the cardiology part as it was the most important thing during the surgery and the chances of a patient getting cardiac arrest were more.
"In this condition, you should stay away from it, doctor Jiang Yang," The head of the department suggested. "We can understand it’s a sad and emotional period for you."
"I am a doctor first and someone’s relative later. If I can use my skills to save strangers, so it’s my responsibility to use them on my own people." Jiang Yang replied, not backing down in front of his senior’s suggestions.
"Treating your loved one carries a huge burden," the department head said again and Jiang Yang countered.
"But that’s nothing in front of the love I have for them in my heart."
The head of the department had to give up in front of his determination and allowed him to be a part of the surgery. Moreover, he knew they need Jiang Yang as his skills were far better than others thought there were so many famous and skilled doctors in the hospital.
Jiang Yuyan, Lu Jinhai, and the driver, all three were in different operating rooms at the same time while all the doctors were doing their best to save them.
Lu Jinhai was the highly injured one among the three, as the truck crashed with the car at the side where he was sitting. The surgery started and till the family members from both the families arrived.
Mo Ruolan, Jiang Peizhi, and Nixxxie went to wait for the surgery to finish after enquiring with the doctor about the situation. Grandma Zhao Shuang had to accompany the elder Lu, Su Hui looked after Ning Jiahui and Lu Chen and Lu Han went to wait for the surgery to finish.
The two girls and the butler had been asked to stay home and look after Lu Lijun, who was in his room when everyone was getting to know about the news. They were instructed to keep him away from this news as they didn’t know how it would impact him.
No one knew what to do. There was a death of one person and two more were dealing with life and the death and there was no time to mourn for the death even though everyone was crying inside.
Nixxxie was looking after Mo Ruolan, who felt lost with what just happened with her daughter and her husband, while Jiang Peizhi was being restless for the surgeries to finish.
In the next few hours, Jiang Yuyan’s surgery finished and they had transferred her to the ICU where no one could enter other than the doctors in charge and the nurses. Her parents went to the doctor to inquire about her condition after the surgery.
"How is she a doctor?" Jiang Peizhi asked while Mo Ruolan kept quiet to listen to the doctor.
The doctor was a senior one who was close to Lu Jinhai and he knew Jiang Peizhi too. He talked with them as a family, understanding the situation they were going through.
"Her physical condition is not very serious. She had a fracture in her arm and a few serious injuries which will get better with time but the mental trauma she will have, after losing her husband and the baby, we can’t even dare to imagine. So you all have to be strong for her sake."
"Baby?" Mo Ruolan exclaimed.
"Hmm! She was one month pregnant," the doctor replied and the other two felt shocked.
"We didn’t know about it," Jiang Peizhi spoke.
"I hope she is not aware of it too and it would be better that way," the doctor commented.
They didn’t know how to react. One after another shocks were coming to them.
Lu Jinhai’s surgery lasted for a long time and took hours. Even though it was successful, doctors couldn’t ensure his survival. He was in a comatose condition with very fewer chances of making out of it. They transferred him to the ICU.
The driver of the car could make it out too. He was unconscious with few fractures and serious injuries, but he was supposed to be fine soon.
