Chapter 474 Shu Ying almost fainted in Xie Zhiyan's arms

From Shuying's perspective, her mother was already in so much pain, yet she was still trying to comfort herself, which made her feel even more sorry for her.

Shu Ying, fighting back tears, choked back sobs and squeezed her mother's hand tightly.

"It's okay, Mom, you'll definitely recover... Now that I've found you, we'll be together from now on. I'll take care of you in your old age, and we'll never be apart again, okay?"

Yang Wan squeezed Shu Ying's hand, nodded, tears still in the corners of her eyes, and gave Shu Ying a reassuring smile.

She wanted to see her daughter a little longer, but unfortunately, she was too exhausted and her spirits were gradually worn away.

Under Shu Ying's gaze, Yang Wan slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

"mom?"

Shu Ying quickly placed her fingers on Yang Wan's wrist to check her pulse, while urging her to hurry.

"Could the car go a little faster?"

Xie Zhiyan dared not slack off and quickly responded. He immediately accelerated the car and frowned as he looked at the back seat through the rearview mirror, his eyes full of heartache.

Even though we were driving at top speed, the road still felt incredibly long.

Shu Ying remained highly focused and tense throughout, constantly observing her mother's condition and repeatedly turning her head to check how far they were from the hospital.

Xie Zhiyan was worried about both his mother-in-law and Shu Ying, so he almost floored the accelerator.

Fortunately, there were few pedestrians on the road at that time, and the car sped along, arriving at the entrance of the military hospital relatively smoothly.

Sun Liye had already contacted the military hospital before setting off. As soon as Shu Ying and Xie Zhiyan got out of the car with Yang Wan, doctors and nurses came to meet them and used an emergency transport bed to push her directly into the emergency room.

The moment the emergency room doors closed, the operating light with the sign "In Surgery" on the door instantly turned on.

The operating room was silent. The faint buzzing of the light bulb inside the surgical lamp was like the mechanical sound of winding up Shu Ying's heart.

Shu Ying was extremely anxious. At this moment, there was almost nothing else in her field of vision except the tightly closed emergency room door and the bright operating light that might go out at any time.

Xie Zhiyan caught up a step later, and turned around with a worried look on his face. He saw that Shu Ying's forehead was covered with sweat, her face was pale, and she was panting and staring intently at the door of the operating room.

"Yingying, Yingying?"

Xie Zhiyan called her twice, but Shu Ying seemed not to hear him at all, her tired gaze fixed on the front.

Xie Zhiyan was startled, frowned, and tentatively reached out to gently pat Shu Ying's shoulder.

"Yingying? What's wrong with you? You're pregnant, don't..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shu Ying suddenly swayed and, as if losing all her strength, leaned to the side—

Xie Zhiyan reacted immediately, quickly supporting Shu Ying and letting her lean against him. Then he bent down and picked Shu Ying up horizontally, turning to call for help.

"Doctor, nurse..."

Before Xie Zhiyan could finish speaking, Shu Ying mustered her strength and grasped his wrist with her icy hand.

She leaned against his chest, her lips and face deathly pale, and shook her head.

"I'm fine. I know my own body. I just want to stay here with my mom and wait for her to come out..."

If the doctors and nurses come, she will definitely be helped to the ward to rest, so she won't be able to see her mother come out of the operating room with her own eyes, nor will she be able to know in time what changes might have happened in the operating room.

Although Shu Ying had some confidence in her medical skills and the spiritual spring water, it was, after all, her mother's... She was more afraid of the worst-case scenario than the one in ten thousand.

She couldn't rest easy about it no matter what.

Xie Zhiyan frowned.

"But you're like this now..."

Shu Ying gently shook her head.

"I was just too anxious and my nerves were too tense, that's why I felt like this. I have some medicine that I prepared myself, I'll drink some and it will calm me down."

Xie Zhiyan still had a furrowed brow, still somewhat worried.

Shu Ying's eyes flickered, and her eyes reddened.

"Zhiyan, if I can't see how Mom is, I'll only worry more..."

Xie Zhiyan supported Shu Ying's thin shoulders and sighed softly.

"All right."

He turned around and carried Shuying to a nearby bench, letting her lean against him as he looked towards the operating room door.

Then he took out the water bottle from Shuying's bag, poured some water for her, and kept a close eye on Shuying's condition.

He still gently gave him instructions, still worried.

"If you really feel like you can't go on, or if you feel unwell anywhere, please tell me right away, okay?"

Shu Ying nodded gently in his arms.

Waiting is always long, especially when a loved one is undergoing surgery. Time seems to slow down and stretch out infinitely.

After drinking the spiritual spring water, Shu Ying gradually recovered, but she was unable to sit up steadily no matter what. She got up from Xie Zhiyan's arms and paced back and forth anxiously at the door of the operating room.

After an unknown amount of time, the emergency room door was finally opened.

The attending physician, Song Chundong, strode out and saw Shu Ying and Xie Zhiyan anxiously approaching. He quickly took off his mask, slowly exhaled, and revealed a smile.

"You can rest assured, the patient's condition has stabilized."

"This is all thanks to the treatment that Comrade Shu Ying gave to the patient earlier. It was very useful and bought us a lot of time for treatment."

"Comrade Shu Ying deserves a lot of credit for the patient's stable condition."

Hearing this, Shu Ying was finally able to exhale the breath that had been stuck in her chest for so long.

She was still somewhat worried and anxiously pressed for more information.

"How is the wound? Is it not too infected? Does it need to have the necrotic muscle tissue removed?"

"Also, my mother has had a persistent high fever for some time now. What was the result of your examination? Are there any long-term effects?"

Dr. Song smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't worry, the patient is in good health. Although the wound wasn't fully treated during the injury, the medicine powder used still had some effect. In addition, the surrounding area has been kept clean, so the infection hasn't become too serious."

"This indicates that the patient was taken relatively well during the period of injury."

"Furthermore, your mother's fever was not continuous. Someone should have tried to bring it down before. The current high fever only started in the last two days, and physical cooling methods should have been used. It has not affected your mother's health."

"Overall, everything is under control, so you can rest assured."

At this moment, Shu Ying's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down completely.
