Chapter 1378 Yun Rui Enchen: Suffered So Much
Gu Yunqian clamped his hand over his mouth, blood seeping from between his fingers. He looked at Su Xingya's horrified eyes and tried to say, "I'm fine," but as soon as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out, splashing onto Su Xingya's white hospital gown like a suddenly blooming blood-red flower, stinging his eyes.
"Ah——!" Su Xingya's scream was stuck in her throat, and her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, causing her to feel so painful that she could hardly breathe.
She wanted to support Gu Yunqian, but she watched helplessly as his body softened and he fell straight down. His eyes were still slightly open, full of worry for her, but he no longer had the strength to support himself.
"Doctor! Nurse! Someone come quickly!" Su Xingya finally reacted, and her heart-wrenching cry echoed throughout the ward.
She threw herself on Gu Yunqian, frantically trying to feel his breath, feeling the airflow that was so weak that it was almost imperceptible. Tears fell like beads from a broken string, hitting Gu Yunqian's pale face.
Hearing the cries, the nurses and doctors rushed in immediately. Seeing Gu Yunqian lying on the ground and Su Xingya covered in blood, their faces instantly turned serious. "Quick! Prepare for rescue! Push the emergency bed over!"
As the doctor gave instructions, he squatted down to check Gu Yunqian's condition. He pressed his fingers on his carotid artery, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. "Heart rate is too fast! Blood pressure is too low! Send him to the emergency room immediately!"
The nurses quickly pushed the emergency bed over and carefully lifted Gu Yunqian onto it. Su Xingya wanted to go with them, but was stopped by the nurse: "Mrs. Gu, calm down! Family members are not allowed in the emergency room. Please wait here for news. We will do our best!"
"No! I want to go with you! I want to see him!" Su Xingya struggled to push the nurse away, but was held back by Lin Junze, who arrived shortly after. "Xingya, calm down! You won't be able to help if you go with them now, and you'll actually hinder the doctors' efforts. Trust the doctors, Yunqian will be fine!" Lin Junze's voice was soothing, yet his worry was evident.
Su Xingya watched the emergency bed being pushed out of the ward and Gu Yunqian's pale face gradually disappear at the end of the corridor. Finally, she could no longer hold on and leaned in Lin Junze's arms and burst into tears.
"Uncle Lin... Is he okay? He's bleeding so much... He's suffered so much before..."
Lin Junze patted her back, his heart heavy. Just as he was about to comfort her, he saw the Interpol who had brought Gu Yunqian to the hospital walk in, looking at him solemnly, and motioning for him to step aside to talk.
When the two men reached the corner of the corridor, the detective lowered his voice and spoke, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Gu's condition may be more serious than we imagined. We learned from the detention center that he barely had a full meal in the twenty-plus days he was in there. He could only drink half a bowl of water a day, and sometimes other prisoners even snatched his food away. His knee was injured by someone hitting him with an iron rod, and without timely treatment, it has become infected. And his chest has multiple bruises, probably from a beating... This sudden vomiting of blood is likely a complication of long-term malnutrition and internal organ damage."
Lin Junze's face turned pale. He knew Gu Yunqian was suffering in the detention center, but he had never imagined it would be so severe—the once pampered heir of the Gu family was being tortured to such an extent.
He took a deep breath, turned around and went back to Su Xingya, hesitating whether to tell her this, but saw the doctor coming over with a critical illness notice.
"Are you a family member of Mr. Gu Yunqian?" The doctor looked at Su Xingya, his tone heavy. "Mr. Gu is in critical condition and requires immediate surgery. He has three main problems: First, malnutrition has led to organ failure, especially in his liver and kidneys, which require surgery to temporarily maintain function; second, the infection in his knee wound has spread, causing sepsis, which must be cleaned as soon as possible; and third, an external impact on his chest has caused a lung contusion. The hematemesis he just experienced was caused by pulmonary hemorrhage. The surgery is very risky, and a family member's signature is required."
Su Xingya took the critical illness notice, her fingers trembling so much she could barely hold a pen. Every word the doctor said was like a knife, cutting through her heart. She had never imagined Gu Yunqian had endured so much in the detention center, that he had endured such torture during those days she couldn't see.
"What is the success rate of the operation?" Su Xingya's voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible. Tears dripped onto the notice, blurring the words on it.
"Fifty percent at most." The doctor's tone was apologetic. "But we will do our best. What Mr. Gu needs most right now is the support of his family. If you agree to the surgery, please sign as soon as possible so we can schedule the surgery."
Su Xingya raised her head, looked at the doctor, then glanced at the emergency room at the end of the corridor. She took a deep breath, picked up a pen, and signed her name on the notice. Her handwriting was trembling, but it was filled with an unprecedented determination - she couldn't lose Gu Yunqian, absolutely not.
"Doctor, I'm counting on you." Su Xingya's voice was choked with sobs. "No matter what the cost, please save him."
"We will." The doctor nodded, took the notice and turned to prepare for the operation.
Lin Junze looked at Su Xingya's pale face, his heart full of distress: "Xingya, don't worry too much, Yunqian is so strong, he will definitely get through it. You have to take good care of yourself now, otherwise when the operation is successful, he will see you like this and worry again."
Su Xingya nodded, wiped her tears, and her eyes became firm again.
She walked to the door of the emergency room, looked at the closed door, and prayed silently in her heart: Yunqian, you must make it.
I'm still waiting for you. We still have to go pick up Yunxi together, rebuild the Gu family together, and spend many, many more days together. You can't get hurt, absolutely not.
The light in the corridor was pale, making Su Xingya's face look even more haggard.
She clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her fingertips turned white from the force, and her eyes were fixed on the red light on the door of the emergency room. Every second of waiting seemed as long as a century.
The scene of Gu Yunqian vomiting blood and falling down replayed in her mind over and over again. The glaring red was engraved on her heart like a brand, causing her heart to ache.
"Xingya, sit down for a while." Lin Junze came over with a glass of warm water, his voice gentle as if he was afraid of disturbing her, "You've been standing for so long, your body must be unable to bear it. If Yunqian knew you were enduring like this, he would definitely feel bad."
Su Xingya shook her head, her eyes still fixed on the door of the emergency room: "I'm not sleepy, I'll just wait for him here. I'm afraid if I leave, he'll be worried if he doesn't see me when he comes out."
There was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, like a child who was afraid of losing a treasure, so fragile that it was heartbreaking.
Lin Junze looked at her stubbornness, his heart filled with helplessness and heartache. He knew that any persuasion would be futile at this moment, so he could only stay by her side silently. He handed the warm water to Su Xingya: "Even if you have to wait, you should drink some water first. If you fall down, who will take care of Yunqian, and who will wait for Yunxi to come back?"
