Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 190: Chapter 190 I Need Your Help

Yunyi had been truly exhausted these past few days; her eyes were so sore she could barely open them. When Assistant Liao Xiaojiao whispered in her ear, Yunyi didn’t catch everything, but she did hear the words ”blood loss shock.” With her eyes still closed, she reflexively sat up in bed, startling Liao Xiaojiao.

Sitting on the edge of the cot for a moment to gather herself, Yunyi, still bleary-eyed, turned to Liao Xiaojiao. ”What’s the situation?” As she spoke, she was already fumbling for her shoes on the floor.

Liao Xiaojiao quickly briefed her. Yunyi then put on her shoes, stood up, twisted her hair into a simple bun, and splashed cold water from the basin onto her face, forcing herself awake. Without bothering to dry her face, she hurried out of the tent. ”Who’s the lead surgeon?”

Liao Xiaojiao trotted after Yunyi. ”It’s Director Gu.”

Director Gu was the deputy leader of their medical team and a doctor of exceptional skill. If he had specifically requested her assistance, the patient’s condition had to be critical.

When Yunyi arrived, the patient was already on a makeshift operating table. She hurried to scrub in and change.

Gu Huailin spoke rapidly as Yunyi entered, ”The situation is dire; I had no choice but to call you in.”

Yunyi nodded. ”My assistant just briefed me. Director Gu, are you saying we’re performing both brain and abdominal surgery simultaneously?”

Director Gu nodded, already guiding her to the patient. Pointing to the man’s head, he said, ”Yes. He has a cranial fracture with active bleeding, and I need your help.”

”I understand,” Yunyi replied.

By the time their brief exchange ended, all preparations were complete. The operating room fell silent. One surgeon began the craniotomy, the other the laparotomy, one working on the patient’s left, the other on the right.

The abdominal surgery wasn’t complicated. The patient’s abdomen had been pierced by a steel rebar, damaging his large intestine. Due to the length of time that had passed, the necrotic section needed to be removed.

Director Gu’s craniotomy, however, was more problematic. The patient suffered a severe fracture in the frontotemporal region of his skull. The area’s rich vasculature had resulted in significant vessel damage.

Director Gu had requested Yunyi’s assistance to conserve resources while also ensuring her expertise was available at critical junctures. He had initially thought the young woman was only capable of performing minor procedures and hadn’t held high hopes for her. But she had surprised them time and again, and in such a short period, she had become the cornerstone of their team.

Yunyi worked efficiently. Having performed countless abdominal surgeries in recent days, she quickly removed the necrotic section of the intestine. She meticulously treated each layer and irrigated the area. Just as she was finishing the sutures, she heard Director Gu’s voice, ”Doctor Chu, you need to speed up.”

Something’s definitely gone wrong, Yunyi realized.

She simply said, ”Alright,” and handed the remainder of her task to Assistant Liao Xiaojiao beside her.

She quickly had her hands rinsed and re-disinfected, then instructed someone to open her silver needle case. With swift precision, she inserted several silver needles into specific acupoints. This not only stanched the bleeding but also helped drain a small intracranial hematoma. Director Gu let out a breath of relief and resumed his work.

His assistant wiped the sweat from Director Gu’s forehead and also exhaled. No wonder Director Gu insisted Doctor Chu assist; he truly had foresight.

With Yunyi’s help, Director Gu also completed his part of the surgery smoothly.

Yunyi had just disinfected her silver needles and hadn’t yet packed them away when hurried footsteps echoed from outside, followed by panicked cries, ”Doctor, Doctor! We need help! Save a life, quickly!”

Then, a man’s distressed voice pleaded, ”Daughter, hold on! Daddy’s right here, don’t be scared!”

Yunyi put away her silver needles and quickly stepped out of the surgical tent. ”What’s the situation?”
