Chapter 492: Xu Dong is severely injured!

Xu Lei was the first to arrive at the hospital. Her eyes were wide with worry as she rushed towards Jiang Xun. The air was thick with tension as she urgently inquired about the horrifying events that had brought her brother to this emergency room.

"Jiang Xun, what happened? What happened to my brother?"

Upon seeing Xu Lei’s worried face, Jiang Xun’s head hung low with a heavy weight of guilt. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she found it difficult to meet Xu Lei’s gaze.

Jiang Xun with tears streaming down her face, replied in a trembling voice, choked with emotion, "Sister Xu, I’m so sorry... It’s all my fault. This terrible thing happened because of me."

Xu Lei could not understand Jiang Xun’s words and thus she looked at Shi Huan, "Director Shi, can you please tell me what exactly happened?"

Xu Lei could tell that Jiang Xun was not in the right frame of mind. Thus, she turned to Shi Huan for knowing what had happened.

Shi Huan slowly recounted what had transpired at Gu Qiang’s party. After knowing what had happened, Xu Lei sighed. She now understood why Jiang Xun was not in the right frame of mind. She looked at the closed doors of the emergency room worriedly and then went to sit near Jiang Xun.

"Sister Xu, Brother Xu was splashed with sulfuric acid because he shielded me," Jiang Xun covered her face in anguish, "At that time, Brother Xu pushed me away and stood in front of me..."

"The sulfuric acid was splashed on his body. He’s injured so badly, what if he can’t recover..." Jiang Xun asked tearfully, "Sister Xu, what do you think I should do?"

"Jiang Xun, you’re blaming yourself for this, right? You think you’ve hurt him, and you’re letting him down?"

Jiang Xun nodded, "Mm."

Xu Lei patted Jiang Xun’s back and comforted her, "But this isn’t your fault. You don’t have to blame yourself."

"It’s not my fault?" Jiang Xun blinked as if she didn’t understand. She choked and said, "Sister Xu, don’t console me. How could it not be my fault? If it wasn’t for me, he wouldn’t have been hurt."

"The crazy woman’s target was me, not him. He should be fine."

"So, you think you’ve hurt him?"

"I already hurt him."

"But, would you rather hurt yourself than him?"

"Yes..."

In that case, she wouldn’t have to blame herself so much.

She wouldn’t feel so tormented now.

"Jiang Xun, he did it willingly. You didn’t force him to do it." Xu Lei analyzed it for her objectively. "Moreover, it happened so suddenly. You didn’t expect him to do it, right?"

"... Mm."

"So, how can you blame yourself? Although this happened because of you, he made the choice himself. I know that no matter what, you’ll definitely feel guilty. But you have to know that you didn’t do anything wrong.

"If anyone has to be blamed, it’s that crazy woman. She was the one who splashed the acid. She was the one who hurt him."

Jiang Xun gazed at Xu Lei to see if she was speaking the truth or was just trying to comfort her. However, when she saw Xu Lei’s clear eyes, Jiang Xun realized that whatever Xu Lei was saying, she was saying from the bottom of her heart.

Sensing her comfort, Jiang Xun calmed down a little. Her mind regained senses and she nodded at Xu Lei to indicate that she had understood what Xu Lei was trying to explain.

At this moment, the emergency room doors finally swung open. Father and Mother Xu along with Xu Lei and Jiang Xun rushed towards the doctor, their collective hope and dread converged on him.

"Doctor, how is my son?" Mother Xu asked anxiously.

"Doctor, my brother is fine right?" Xu Lei asked with hope.

Facing the family’s questions, the doctor’s expressions turned more solemn. The gravity of the situation was undeniable as the doctor delivered the harsh truth, "I’m very sorry, but Xu Dong’s condition is extremely serious. He has suffered third-degree burns from the acid attack."

The doctor’s words hit like a sledgehammer on everyone’s ears. A heavy silence descended upon the group, laden with shock and despair. The news was like a dagger through their hearts. Third-degree burns were severe, involving damage to not just the outer layers of the skin but also extending deep into the tissues below. The prognosis was grim, and the family and Jiang Xun were left grappling with the harsh reality of the situation.

However, the doctor was not finished. He continued, "We need to operate on him as soon as possible. But you should be mentally prepared. The success rate of this surgery is very low."

The doctor’s words made the Xu family’s faces go pale.

"Then, what’s the success rate?" Father Xu asked with a trembling voice.

The doctor paused. He did not want to reveal this before the patient’s family. However, since they had asked, he had no other option. After all, he needed them to sign the consent form.

The consent form was then placed in front of Father Xu. The doctor replied, "Mr. Xu, I will be very frank with you. The success rate of this surgery is only 40%. We will try our best as it’s our duty. However, we cannot guarantee the outcome. Every surgery has its risks."

"After knowing the truth, if you still wish to proceed with the surgery, you need to sign this consent form. Since the chances of the survival of patient are low, the doctors would not be responsible if anything happens to him during or after the surgery."

Hearing the doctor’s words, Father Xu’s hand, trembling from a mixture of anxiety, shock, and fear, hesitantly reached for the pen. With great effort, Father Xu steadied his hand and put his signature on the consent form, acknowledging the necessity of the medical treatment his son so desperately required.

"Doctor!" Xu Lei called out to the attending physician, "Is there any way that my brother could be saved? There are so many burn specialists in this hospital. Can’t you call the best one?"

Xu Lei knew that 40% chances meant nothing. Thus, she wanted to know if anything could be done to save her brother. They were ready to do everything and the Xu family was not short of money too.

Hearing Xu Lei’s request, the assistant doctor standing at the side replied, "Miss Xu, the doctor standing before you, Dr. Wu, is the best burn specialist in this hospital. Considering Mr. Xu Dong’s case, we had already contacted him earlier. Thus, if not for him, we wouldn’t even claim the 40% success rate. Moreover, other than the miracle doctor, Dr. Wu is the best burn specialist in the whole country."

"Miracle doctor? What miracle doctor?" Jiang Xun interrupted immediately.

Dr. Wu explained to Jiang Xun and the Xu family members who were looking at him with curiosity, "The miracle doctor is considered to be the best doctor in our field. It is said that he can even bring the dead back to life. So, if somehow the miracle doctor could operate on the patient, the surgery’s success rate would be increased manifold as the miracle doctor has never failed any of his operations."

Jiang Xun’s eyes lit up, "Dr. Wu, can’t you call the miracle doctor over?"

Dr. Wu shook his head, "Very few people know the contact details of the miracle doctor. As of now, we have no means to contact him."

"Dr. Wu, you said that very few people know about the miracle doctor," Jiang Xun still clung onto a glimmer of hope, "Then do you know anyone who can get us in contact with the miracle doctor?"

This time, Dr. Wu did not shake his head. Instead, he replied positively, "Out of the few people who can get you in contact with the miracle doctor, Elder Han is one of them. He himself was on the brink of death, however, the miracle doctor saved him."

"However, it is not easy to get in contact with Elder Han. And we have only two hours. If even after two hours, the patient’s surgery did not begin, we will lose him even without trying."

The Xu family members nodded with determination. As they couldn’t help with anything else, the only thing that they could do was to find the miracle doctor. This would improve the success rate of the operation.

However, where could they find this person in this short period of time?

Father Xu, feeling the weight of the situation and the urgency to find the miracle doctor for his son’s critical condition, wasted no time. He reached out to his friends and contacts, desperately seeking any information or assistance to get in touch with Elder Han, the key to connecting with the renowned specialist.

With a sense of hope and desperation, Father Xu made numerous calls, sent texts, and reached out through every channel available to him. Each moment that ticked by seemed to stretch into an eternity as he attempted to contact Elder Han.
