Chapter 1443: The Grand Finale (29)
Only Tang Sili’s voice was heard saying, "You’re too late. If she doesn’t undergo surgery immediately, she might not live more than seventy-two hours. But this man you speak of—can you find and catch him within seventy-two hours? If he is truly as you claim, already aware of everything, he has surely prepared for this. At the very least, you will return empty-handed in seventy-two hours."
Everyone was shocked.
Ou Yanan was the first to turn around, "Professor, what do you mean by seventy-two hours?!" Impossible. Wasn’t she just completely deaf? How could she have only seventy-two hours left?
Tang Sili’s calm eyes looked at the students, "When she was just brought in, there were already signs of brief respiratory suppression, indicating that the disease is attacking her brainstem. The brainstem is the life center, once it’s affected, even deities cannot save her."
Ou Yanan suddenly felt weak in the legs, but quickly reacted and said, "In that case, what are we waiting for, perform the surgery immediately."
Who knew that his words would prompt Gu Sheng to suddenly jump up from the bench.
Gu Sheng rushed into the ward, grabbed Tang Sili’s lab coat collar with one hand, and glared fiercely at him, "I know you love money and would do anything for it. But don’t think about doing this surgery, I’m telling you!"
Tang Sili met this provocation with just a raised corner of his mouth, "But still, compared to you, a pharmacy expert, at least my scalpel can save her life."
"You save her, is this really saving her?"
Ou Yanan walked over and inserted himself between them, saying to Gu Sheng, "The professor isn’t how you imagine!"
"What do you know, you coward! Whatever he says, you believe! You’d even believe him if he makes her disabled!" Gu Sheng turned his head and yelled at him.
After Ou Yanan was scolded, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, which then looked at Tang Sili’s face.
Tang Sili’s expression didn’t change, but it already explained that what Gu Sheng said was true, "This is something unavoidable, but you must know that isn’t it more important for her to live, even if she becomes disabled?"
No one dared to look at Gu Nuan’s face at this moment. Disabled, it might not just be like Zhang Sanfeng, who merely has a crippled leg and can’t walk. According to Tang Sili, she might be completely paralyzed, depending on how much diseased tissue in the brain needs to be removed.
In this deadlock-like scene, Xiao Yebai suddenly rushed into the ward like a hurricane and scooped up the person on the bed.
The others snapped out of it and tried to stop him.
"Second Brother, you can’t take her away. Calm down!"
"Xiao Yebai!"
Old Six and Old Seven, who were recuperating in the hospital, rushed to the scene upon hearing the commotion. Seeing the chaos, they were equally shocked: What’s going on here?
At this moment, someone suddenly pushed through the crowd, into the throng, and slapped Xiao Yebai who was holding onto his wife tightly, "She is my daughter first, then your wife, let go!"
Gu Dad was furious! Actually, he hadn’t gone far. He stayed aside, listening to their conversation all along. Until he understood everything they said. Although some professional terms were still incomprehensible to him as an older person, it didn’t hinder the decision he had to make as a father now.
Having been slapped by his father-in-law, Xiao Yebai raised his head, like a bewildered child, looking at Gu Dad’s face, "Dad—" Gu Dad’s eyes were all red, but his mind was clear. A father’s mind is clearer than anyone’s: "She is the flesh and blood of your mother and me, more precious than you. So, the decision I made, I absolutely know what I’m doing better than you do. My decision is, after your mom and I had her, we always thought that her life is no longer ours, but hers. Therefore, we can’t decide her marriage, can’t decide her love, can’t decide what she wants to do. Even now, when she’s facing life and death, we must respect her own decision."
