Chapter 1408 - 1407: The Heart of the Strong

Chapter 1408: Chapter 1407: The Heart of the Strong

"A stronger heart, huh." Li Yan pursed his lips, mocking himself: "I still prefer what you said initially, that I am just afraid of losing."

He didn’t admit he was a strong man, even if everyone thought so. To him, he was just a trainee with flesh and blood!

Because many people regarded the Devil King as a true strong man, even viewed him as no different from a savior. A strong person can reverse fortunes and change fate, not just for themselves but also to save and awaken many others.

After all, the Devil King is still human, a body of flesh and blood. How could he accomplish things that only gods can do?

"The Devil King is being modest." Qiao Chenyi glanced at the operating room and said: "As long as you are willing to keep fighting, you are strong. Not only you, but that girl Gu Tong is strong too."

Don’t underestimate Gu Tong because she is a woman.

Qiao Chenyi believed that within Gu Tong’s small frame lay enormous positive energy.

Moreover, this was a realization Qiao Chenyi had after they met in Shoucheng.

Although not knowing what exactly Gu Tong had been through, Qiao Chenyi was sure she must have a heart burden.

Li Yan’s thin lips moved, with a hint of contemplation, and said, "The observer sees clearly while the participant is confused, thanks for the advice, Chenyi brother."

Qiao Chenyi didn’t explicitly say it, but he had hinted enough.

He was in a state of turmoil due to concern, worried that Gu Tong might not withstand it, thus feeling extremely anxious.

Yet little did he remember that Gu Tong herself also had energy.

Considering it from a reverse perspective, if Gu Tong were not Li Yan’s woman but a comrade, now Li Yan sitting here would surely remain calm because he believed in Gu Tong’s ability.

This is the influence of closeness, capable of causing even the most rational person to lose their ability to think.

...

The operating room.

The inside was well-lit, yet unable to cover the oppressive atmosphere.

Every doctor’s face was solemn; they looked incredibly tense as they raced against time to save the patient on the operating table.

As early as ten minutes ago, the blood bank delivered the last two bags of blood to the operating room. This blood would only last for an hour.

Faced with this situation, the hospital doctors were stunned. A surgery that might not succeed even in four hours was forced to be turned into a one-hour task. Was this a struggle against death?

However, at this moment, Gu Tong, a young doctor sent by the Academy, forcefully interrupted their thoughts and said: "Abandon the patient’s arm, focus on stopping the bleeding. If it’s really not feasible, perform amputation surgery. Fully concentrate on the wounds on the abdomen and back, finish the operation within an hour."

There was no negotiation.

No discussion permitted.

No requirement for the patient’s family to sign; this young girl made the unilateral decision to amputate the patient’s arm.

The leading surgeon at Safe Hospital hesitated and said: "Officer, we don’t have the authority to decide. If there’s no signature from the patient’s family, something goes wrong, we’ll all be taken to the medical court."

Gu Tong, holding Hemostatic Forceps with cotton clamped on them, was dealing with the residues around the wound and said: "The patient’s parents can’t arrive, now is a very critical moment, we can only handle special cases specially."

Xiao Yu once said her father had an accident, and she became like this entirely because of her mother.

Because of this, there were no immediate relatives who would come to sign for her.

The leading surgeon hesitated again and said: "But this does not conform to the regulations..."

The hospital has its rules and handling things this way certainly contravenes the regulations. The leading surgeon was intimidated and, therefore, dared not act recklessly.
