Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Like a Time Bomb Buried in the Heart
Bai Haoxue was quite lucky. Just as she stepped out, she saw the old man and the Little Wolf Child each carrying a wolf pup, heading down the mountain.
She rushed over to them. "Sir, are you Xiao Bei’s master?"
"Xiao Bei?" The old man frowned, displeased. "Who is Xiao Bei? I don’t know."
That rascal, how many times had he been told that once he left, he shouldn’t say who his master was.
"Sir..." Although the old man claimed not to know, his disdainful look confirmed it for Bai Haoxue. She pleaded with him, "Sir, I have a younger sister who has suffered a very serious knife wound. The doctor said there’s a high chance she may not be able to become a mother because of it.
She’s a girl who loves children so dearly. Sir, please save her, won’t you?"
"A serious knife wound?" the old man said. "No, no, I haven’t held a scalpel in years. If I make her condition worse, I would have done a great wrong."
Bai Haoxue: "..."
"Sir..." This old man was Xiao Bei’s master, so his medical skills must be exceptional. Bai Haoxue couldn’t accept his refusal. "Sir, her condition is really dangerous. Please help us."
"Grandpa..." The Little Wolf Child tugged at the old man’s clothes.
The old man said, "Alright, I’ll take a look. By the way, I heard you have an incubator here. I’ll leave my two wolf pups with you."
"Okay, okay, no problem."
Bai Haoxue quickly led the old man to the operating room for preparations, and then, with the Little Wolf Child, brought the two wolf pups to the doctor to be placed in the incubator.
When she returned, she saw Li Mingmo in a state of collapse, his eyes red as he looked at the doors of the operating room.
Bai Haoxue softly comforted him, "Don’t be so anxious. This old man is Xiao Bei’s master. Yiyi will definitely be fine."
Before the surgery ended, Ji Hanyu returned.
However, his face was dour. Very dour.
Since Xi Wei was still in surgery, Bai Haoxue didn’t ask him about it.
At this time, apart from the success of Xi Wei’s surgery, nothing could reach Li Mingmo’s ears.
The surgery went on for another two hours before the doors of the operating room slowly opened.
Li Mingmo looked longingly at the old man, who removed his mask.
Beside him, the doctor eagerly announced, a touch of excitement and admiration in his voice, "The surgery was very successful. Miss Xi Wei is out of danger, and her wound is expertly stitched. You don’t have to worry anymore."
Just as Li Mingmo relaxed, the old man’s next words tensed him up again, "The surgery was indeed successful, and her chance to become a mother hasn’t been taken away.
But... if she has children in the future, it would be like passing through the gates of hell again. Having children will be ten times more painful and dangerous for her than for an ordinary woman.
I will prescribe some herbal medicine for her; please take care of her rehabilitation."
"Thank you!" Li Mingmo bowed deeply to the old man.
But inside, it felt like a ticking time bomb had been planted...
Once Xi Wei was out of danger, she was transferred to a regular ward. Li Mingmo stayed by her side all night, yet she had not woken up.
She had lost too much blood, and her once rosy cheeks were now devoid of color.
She lay there so quietly, so quietly that it seemed unfamiliar.
He used to complain about her chatter, but now he longed to hear her prattle on incessantly, even if it was to scold or mock him...
