Outside the operating theater, Qin Xiao remained standing for an unknown period of time. He just stared intently at the light on the operating theater. He only wanted it to go out quickly so that Xiao Li could come out of the operating theater sooner…
At home, Mrs. Qin looked at her watch and saw that they were half an hour later than usual. She found it strange that Qin Xiao and the others had not returned home for dinner yet. Was the hospital busy?
Ever since Mrs. Qin and the others came over, Xiao Li's three meals were basically home-cooked.
If Xiao Li had time to come back, Qin Xiao would pick her up.
If Xiao Li was too busy to come back today, Qin Xiao would send the food to the hospital for her consumption.
Today was the first time that Xiao Li did not come back and yet Qin Xiao did not return to collect their meals.
Mrs. Qin picked up her phone and called Qin Xiao, but no one picked up. She called Xiao Li but she had turned off her phone.
This time, Mrs. Qin started to panic for no reason…
She hurriedly called out, "Old Qin, Old Qin…"
Mr. Qin was playing Fight the Landlord on his phone at the side. When he heard the voice, he looked up. "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Qin said angrily, "What else? Look at the time!
At this moment, Xiao Li and Qin Xiao are not back yet. I had just called Xiao'er several times, but he did not answer. I called Xiao Li, but her phone was turned off.
Do you think there's something going on?"
Mr. Qin said indifferently, "They're in the hospital. What can happen?
They might even be busy right now.
Previously, didn't Little Li enter the operating theater to observe the surgery? When she was helping out, she also turned off her phone.
As for Xiao'er, you still don't know about your son. He usually would have picked up the call, he must be busy. Try calling him later…"
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she thought she might have been too nervous. She picked up her phone and started calling again…
At the entrance of the operating theater, Dai Zhihan, Feng Qing, and Xiao Wenjing rushed over after hearing the news.
When they arrived, they asked Qin Xiao questions, but Qin Xiao did not answer. He could only stand quietly at the side and wait.
When Qin Xiao's phone rang again, Feng Qing reminded him, "Professor Qin, your phone keeps ringing…"
Qin Xiao remained motionless until the door of the operating theater opened and a nurse came out with the child. "Dr. Qin, the child has been delivered. It's a girl, but she had to stay in an incubator for a few days because of premature labor.
Dr. Xiao's surgery is still ongoing. It will probably take some time…"
Qin Xiao looked down at the child the nurse was carrying. It was his and Nini's child.
With that, the nurse carried the child away. The child had just been born and was very weak. She could not delay any longer…
In the operating theater, Xiao Li's condition was not good. She had lost too much blood and her heart rate was not good.
The doctor in charge of monitoring the machine immediately spoke when he saw that the blood oxygen saturation had passed. The chief surgeon immediately asked for a blood and oxygen transfusion.
At home, Mr. Qin, who did not care much at first, became anxious when he still could not contact anyone after another hour.
The couple went straight to the hospital after a discussion. In the end, when they arrived at the hospital and found out that something had happened to Xiao Li, the two of them hurriedly ran to the operating theater…
As soon as she arrived outside the operating theater, Mrs. Qin saw Qin Xiao standing there covered in blood. She hurriedly said, "Xiao'er, how's Little Li?"
Qin Xiao did not speak. It was as if there was only Xiao Li in the operating theater in the entire world and nothing else…
When Feng Qing saw this, she quickly went forward and said to Mrs. Qin, "Auntie, Little Li is still undergoing surgery inside. The child has just been delivered, but she has been sent to the incubator.
Mother Qin staggered when she heard this. The child is premature. How badly is Xiao Li injured?
Mr. Qin saw that Mrs. Qin was unstable and quickly reached out to support her. "Don't worry, I'll call all the top doctors in our hospital now…"
Mother Qin shook her head. "What's the point of calling them over? They won't be able to arrive anytime soon. This is the First Hospital in S City. Its team of doctors won't be bad. I just feel sorry that Xiao Li has to suffer while she's pregnant…"
Hours passed while everyone waited anxiously. At around eight in the evening, Xiao Li was finally wheeled out of the operating theater.
Although she was out of the operating theater, she was still assigned to the ICU for observation for 24 hours…
Qin Xiao only moved when Xiao Li was pushed out. Then he followed the stretcher which was pushed to the ICU without a word and looked at Xiao Li quietly through the glass…
Seeing this, Mrs. Qin walked up and said, "Xiao'er, Xiao Li is out. Do you want to take a shower and change your clothes? You're covered in blood. If you are allowed to enter the ICU later, it won't be easy for you to enter in your current state!"
When Qin Xiao heard this, his eyes flickered before he left in silence.
He returned about an hour later, having changed his clothes.
In the intensive care unit, Qin Xiao walked to Xiao Li's side in sterile clothes. Holding her cold hand, Qin Xiao's heart ached.
The person he doted on was now lying here so weakly…
At the thought of this, a cold glint flashed across Qin Xiao's eyes…
When Qin Xiao came out of the intensive care unit, his emotions had already calmed down. This was when one overlooked the traces of chill emanating from him…
Qin Xiao walked up to Mr. and Mrs. Qin. "Dad, Mom, go back first! I'll keep watch over her."
Mrs. Qin sighed. "It's pointless to go back. Why don't we keep watch here? At least we can see Xiao Li. I'll feel more at ease.
Xiao'er, Little Li is fine for now. Don't push yourself too hard…"
Qin Xiao nodded. "I know."
Mr. Qin patted Qin Xiao's shoulder. "How is the person who stabbed others dealt with?"
Qin Xiao shook his head. "I haven't paid attention to this yet. He should be in the police station!"
Qin's father nodded. "Got it. I'll call some old acquaintances later and ask them to keep a close eye on this matter."
Qin Xiao shook his head. "Dad, I'll do it myself. You don't have to interfere…"
As the three of them were talking, Feng Qing and the other two, who had just gone to see how the child was doing, returned. As soon as Feng Qing returned, she said to Mrs. Qin, "Auntie, the child is fine. Don't worry."
When Qin Xiao had left earlier, Mrs. Qin was worried about Xiao Li and did not dare to leave. She also missed her granddaughter in the incubator, so she asked Feng Qing and the others to go over and take a look…
Mrs. Qin nodded. "That's good. You've been here for a long time. Now that the situation on both sides has stabilized, you don't have to stay here. Go back and rest!"
Feng Qing and the other two shook their heads…
Dai Zhihan said, "Auntie, we're used to working the night shift at the hospital. Little Li is our good friend. If you ask us to go back now, we won't be able to rest well. Why don't we stay here and keep watch over her?
I know that if I ask you to go back and rest now, you definitely won't do it, but you're old after all. It's not good to stay up late.
If Xiao Li knew, she would definitely not agree to you and Uncle staying here…
So, you and Uncle should go back and rest first!"
