Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Crying Without Heartache

Lu Jing was tired of hearing it and blurted out,

"Shut up!"

Can’t we just eat quietly?

"Okay."

Pfft, it’s a good thing no one else saw Captain Jiang like this.

Otherwise, they’d all wonder if he’d been swapped like a circuit board.

After dinner, Lu Jing sat on the sofa watching TV while the man voluntarily cleaned up the dishes.

Actually, Jiang Ye was very good at this. You have to know that many men disdain doing the dishes.

In Captain Jiang’s words, "I love my wife, so I do what I can to spare her from lifting a finger."

Of course, if this were someone else, it’d be... there wouldn’t be any sympathy, even with tears.

Probably getting even more excited.

Lu Jing never knew about this extreme thought of men; had she known, she wouldn’t let him get his way again.

Jiang Ye finished the dishes, ready to join his wife to watch some TV.

No sooner had he sat down than the alarm sounded.

Following that, the broadcast blared,

"All units, emergency assembly, a hotel on the outskirts has collapsed, several people are trapped, urgent rescue needed!"

Jiang Ye stood up abruptly, even leaping over the coffee table,

"Wife, I have to respond to the call."

Lu Jing, having heard the announcement, was very worried,

"Be safe," she cautioned.

"Okay!"

Before his words fully fell, he was already out the door.

Lu Jing’s heart thumped wildly, worried not just for Jiang Ye but also for those trapped.

Two minutes later, her department called.

"Doctor Lu, rush to the department quickly; the hotel has collapsed, and the injured will be sent to our hospital."

"Okay!"

Now, there was no time to worry about her discomfort.

She changed into lighter clothes, grabbed her bag and cellphone, and hurried downstairs.

En route, Nanxi University Affiliated’s Fire Department was almost empty, leaving only the kitchen staff and two injured teammates.

"Doctor Lu!"

"Lai Xingchen?"

"Doctor Lu, what’s going on?"

"Back to the hospital, injured from the hotel will be sent to us immediately."

Lai Xingchen nodded, it made sense; despite the hotel being on the outskirts, the closest hospital was indeed Nanxi University Affiliated.

Naturally, it would be the first choice.

After all, what’s at stake isn’t just anything—it’s human lives!

...

Lu Jing left the fire department and within a few minutes arrived at her department.

The department had urgently cleared several wards for readiness, and all other doctors were also called back.

"Is Doctor Lu here?"

"Yes, what’s the situation like right now?"

"For now, still unknown, let’s wait.

But Doctor Lu could rest first; it’s going to be a busy day."

Indeed, it was almost certain it would require surgery.

That one procedure would be hours long.

But Lu Jing didn’t sit down to rest; she donned her white coat and together with everyone prepared for action.

It wasn’t just the wards to prepare; supporting medical equipment, emergency medicines, etc., everything had to be ready in advance to avoid confusion later.

Approximately, five minutes later, the first of the trapped victims was brought in with a broken thigh bone, though otherwise, there weren’t major issues.

All things considered, breaking a leg was actually lucky. There were others who might’ve lost their lives.

Such are the unpredictable turns of life, ever so impermanent.

No one can ever tell when an accident will strike.

"Doctor Lu!"

"I’m here!"

Unexpectedly, the first surgery was Lu Jing’s.

She composed her somewhat complex emotions, her face regaining its seriousness and focus.
