Romance Of Flame And Ice - Chapter 323

Jia Yu and Yu Yan chorused at the same time.

“What patient?”

“The sixteen years old patient he gave his blood to,” she explained but then realised it will take a long while before they can even contact him.

“I will bring Han Li, they have the same blood type,” she said then she ran out of the place, she doesn’t know who Han Li is but as long as the person can donate his blood then she doesn’t care about who he is for now.

She held the surgeon’s hands between hers.

“Please…please, you have to save him, it is because of me he is in there,” she pleaded.

“Surgeon Yu Yan, you know how this works but don’t worry we will do our best,” He walked back into the operating room.

Her mother couldn’t hold herself any longer, she stepped forward then pulled Yu Yan into her embrace, with tears dropping from her eyes.

“How is it your fault, it is clearly our fault,” she refused then patted her back gently, her friends could only watch the sadness in helplessness while they waited for Jia Yu to return with the surgeons doing what they can to save his life but they all know that considering that he just underwent surgery not too long ago, he has less chance of surviving this surgery.

If only they know this is the third time then they would understand what Yu Yan and Jia Yu feel inside of them.

The three times he got injured in his head are all because of her, first, he took the shot instead of her, secondly to save her from taking the impact when they fell down the stairs and now because of her carelessness.

At this very moment, she regrets the day they met again, if they didn’t then he wouldn’t have gotten injured.

Some of the crew started leaving with their bloodied hands then returning inside the operation unit, she could feel her heart sinking each time.

She prayed in her mind for God to please save the man she loves.

“He is here,” Jia Yu shouted as she and Han Li who is still in his school uniform ran towards them, just then the surgeon who previously informed them of the need for a blood donor came out of the theatre.

“Is he the one?” He asked

“Yes, I have the same blood type as my brother,” he answered frantically as h had already been briefed about the situation by Jia Yu, the nurse signalled the nurse behind him to get his blood tested.

The nurse left with Han Li while the surgeon returned inside, Jia Yu rushed to Yu Yan who has a ghastly pale look on her face, she held her hands tightly to console her.

“What happened to Han Chen?” His aunt questioned as she rushed towards them, they quickly stood up to meet her.

“He just had an accident, the doctor said he needs a blood transfusion but Han Li is already here to donate his blood,” Jia Yu narrated, she almost slumped but Ji Chen quickly supported her arm.

“Do you know him?” Mrs Huo asked, she told her about Han Chen but she didn’t tell her his name, she sighed then turned to her.

“He is my niece, I was going to intercede on his behalf but he told me he wanted to earn your approval but who would have known that this would happen, this is all my fault,”

She lamented as she slumped on the seat, Yu Yan knelt in front of her and held her hand in tears.

“No, it is my fault, if I wasn’t absentminded then he wouldn’t have had to save me,”

She sighed in helplessness.

One is her goddaughter and the other is her niece, should she blame Yu Yan for being the reason why Han Chen is in such a state for the second time or be thankful that Yu Yan is not harmed.

She couldn’t bring herself to say anything to she just patted the back of her hand.

A few minutes later, the nurse returned with the blood from Han Li after confirming he is a match but he fainted which something they didn’t expect, the surgery went on for about thirteen more hours more when the doors slid open and the surgeons exited the theatre with the sign reading ‘operation ended’.

They crowded them immediately.

“How did it go,” Mr Huo asked

“Thanks to the blood transfusion, we managed to save his life for now but we need to observe his condition for the next twenty-four hours, if he doesn’t regain consciousness then…”

They understood what he meant, after all, they are experienced in this field.

“Thank you very much, Surgeon Chang,” Ji Chen thanked the lead surgeon on their behalf then the surgeons walked away.

Just then, the door opened again when the nurses wheeled him out of the theatre, they gathered around him as they wheeled him forwards to the intensive care unit.

“Han Chen…” Yu Yan called repeatedly as she squeezed his hands tightly, they were stopped at the door to the ward while they connected him to the tubes and machines in the wards, Yu Yan glued herself to the door as she watched them.

She has always consoled patients who would have to watch their loved ones like this but she never thought she would be in the same situation twice, just that this time is much worse than the other time.

24 hours…that is all that decides whether he dies or live.

After some hours, Yu Yan, Jia Yu and her mother were allowed into the ward with a mask and gown to protect the patient, she knelt beside the bed then held his hand in her hands, she really wants him to hold her, embrace her and smile at her like he always does, or even go back to the time when they still used to bicker.

“Han Chen, please wake up, please, you said you wanted me to be your woman forever, please….” she started sobbing again, if he really dies from this then she will never know what joy is, ever since they got together, she has made him her only source of happiness.

“Yu Yan,” Jia Yu called softly with her hands on Yu Yan’s shoulder.

She wiped her tears then stood up from the ground, she knows her godmother has been keeping quiet all along but she must have something to say to him too, maybe something she can’t say in her presence even if she wants to.

“I will leave you with him,” together with Jia Yu, they left the room.

She broke down into tears immediately they got out, she sat on the seat next to the bed then held his hand tightly with her eyes fixed on his face which is nearly blocked with all the tubes, braces on him.

“My dear niece, why are you so stupid?” she asked with sadness in her voice, she already lost her brother, sister-in-law and one niece but losing another is something she won’t be able to handle, he has been like a son to her.

“Why? back in high school you took the shot for her, not long ago, you saved her and now you saved her again, once again at the expense of your own life, I can’t even blame her or hate her because I also care about her,” she wiped her tears with the hanky in her hand.

“What am I supposed to say to my brother and sister-in-law when I die, Hm?”

Meanwhile, the news of his accident had already reached every corner of the hospital, everyone is praying for his recovery in one way or the other and of course, there are very few who are pleased with his condition because of jealousy, someone like Chen Kai.

He was still having red wine in his office with his lips spread into a wide smile, one he hasn’t had in weeks ever since he started seeing Yu Yan and Han Chen be all lovey-dovey around the hospital while he has to fake a happy relationship with Xiaomeng.

His mood broke when he heard a knock on the door, he placed his glass on the table then dropped his legs from the table before giving the person permission to come in but he was appalled to see Xiaomeng enter the office with arms folded on her chest.

“What are you doing here?” he asked

“Do I need a reason to see my fiancé?” she responded as she walked around the desk to his side, then she leaned her butt against the edge of the desk with her body in close proximity to his.

“You are right but surely you did not just come here to glance at me,”

She smiled with her lips pulled to a corner, she can already tell from the look on his face and the glass of wine on the table that he is probably happy that the thorn in his side is almost gone and it makes her heart hurt.

“You seem to be in a celebrative mood, would you mind sharing what the good news is,” she asked as she moved over to where the glass and bottle of wine, she chugged down the little remaining in the glass then poured herself another glass.

“You are not supposed to drink on duty!”
