Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One
Chapter 754 - 292: She Became Famous Among Doctors in the Divine Martial Realm (Update 2)
Xu Xingguang opened the sachet and placed it in front of Jin Nuo’an’s nose.
City Lord Jin and Jin Nuoyan stood behind watching, not daring to breathe loudly.
Jin Nuo’an lay prone on the bed, his thin face pressed against the pillow, looking ugly and terrifying. The previously lethargic him suddenly opened his eyes upon smelling the scent from the sachet.
Those eyes were dark and filled with greedy longing, a sharp contrast to Jin Nuo’an himself.
Other than Xu Xingguang, the other three people in the room were startled.
Jin Nuoyan covered her mouth and exclaimed in shock.
"Brother!" Jin Nuoyan wanted to step up and comfort Jin Nuo’an but was blocked by the Starlight Sword that appeared out of thin air in Xu Xingguang’s hand. "All of you step back, don’t move recklessly!"
Hearing this, Elder Tan Nan immediately grabbed the arms of City Lord Jin and Jin Nuoyan and retreated to the back of the bedroom door.
On the bed, the once-dying Jin Nuo’an now resembled an addict in the throes of gambling withdrawal. He flipped over, kneeling on the bed, sniffing around like a dog for the Attractive Fragrance Grass.
Xu Xingguang gently lifted the sachet with the tip of the sword. Wherever she moved the sachet, Jin Nuo’an followed like a puppy.
"Nu’an! Nu’an, come to your senses! How did you become like this!" Seeing his child become a mindless monster controlled by some mysterious thing, City Lord Jin was heartbroken, wishing he could take his child’s place in suffering.
"Brother!" Jin Nuoyan was already crying from fear at the scene. "Brother, don’t scare me, please wake up." Jin Nuoyan tried to rush over to awaken Jin Nuo’an but was firmly restrained by Elder Tan Nan.
Elder Tan Nan appeared calm, but there was an unshakable haze in her eyes.
That Jin Nuo’an reacted to the Attractive Fragrance Grass could only mean one thing.
The crisis facing the Mortal World is the same in the Divine Martial Realm!
At this moment, Xu Xingguang tossed the sachet into the air, catching it quickly and closing the drawstring.
Jin Nuo’an leaned forward, still trying to grab the sachet.
Unable to snatch it, he wanted to kill Xu Xingguang, the obstacle.
Xu Xingguang kicked Jin Nuo’an back onto the bed and swiftly knocked him unconscious with a palm strike. She looked back at City Lord Jin, "City Lord Jin, do you believe my judgment now?"
"Doctor Xu, I beg you, save my child!" Xu Xingguang could accurately diagnose Jin Nuo’an’s condition at a glance; she might be the one most likely to save him.
Having reached this point, what else could City Lord Jin not believe about Xu Xingguang?
Elder Tan Nan also asked Xu Xingguang, "Xingguang, do you think Young Master Jin’s life can be saved?"
"I can treat him, but whether he can survive the surgery depends on his will to live." Xiahou Huai Gui managed to complete a surgery without anesthesia, but Jin Nuo’an may not be able to do the same.
Hearing this, City Lord Jin furrowed his brows tightly and asked worriedly, "What kind of surgery? What do we need to prepare? Doctor Xu, just give me a list, and I’ll gather what you need as soon as possible."
"I need to perform a spine surgery on Young Master Jin, and I don’t need much." Xu Xingguang told City Lord Jin, "A sterile operating room, and a professional and trustworthy surgical team."
She then looked at Jin Nuo’an, speaking in a calm tone: "The difficulty lies in that during surgery, Young Master Jin must remain fully conscious, not faint or give up halfway. If his willpower isn’t strong enough and he faints and dies in the middle, the surgery will be deemed a failure."
Elder Tan Nan asked in surprise, "So you can’t use anesthesia?"
Xu Xingguang shook her head.
Hearing that anesthesia couldn’t be administered during surgery, City Lord Jin’s expression changed, just about to ask Xu Xingguang if there was any other possibility.
At this moment, the slowly awakening Jin Nuo’an made a hoarse and unpleasant sound, "I... I’m willing to undergo the surgery."
In his situation, he could either lay down and wait for death or risk his life for a chance at survival. Jin Nuo’an actively chose the latter.
Seeing his child choose to undergo surgery, City Lord Jin tried to persuade Jin Nuo’an to think again and wanted to ask Xu Xingguang if there were better options. But when his gaze landed on his son’s wax-like pale face, feeling the child’s diminishing lifespan, he could only make the tough decision to agree.
"Doctor Xu, when will the surgery be? I’ll contact the hospital."
"As soon as possible." Xu Xingguang glanced at Jin Nuo’an’s severely protruding ribcage; in his condition, there was no time to delay.
With a solemn expression, City Lord Jin nodded and immediately went to contact the hospital and the surgical team.
