Chapter 1179: Three Things You Don’t Keep
"Shall we go out?"
"go out!"
As soon as Wang Defa finished speaking, Li Xiangnan jumped up and put on his pants. It was cold at night but he didn't have time to put on his shirt. He grabbed his polyester jacket, put his shirt in his pocket, and walked out while buttoning it.
It is now four o'clock in the morning, the time when people are most sleepy. Both the medical staff and the patients and their families in the hospital have fallen into a deep sleep.
At the emergency department window that was later added to the hall, there was only one young nurse on night shift, holding her head up and trying to stay awake, while the rest of the people were busy in the back office and operating room.
Seeing the dean and the vice-dean walking quickly towards the door, the young nurse was startled and sat up straight, her sleepiness was instantly awakened.
She turned her head and looked, somewhat puzzled.
It's already past four o'clock. What are the dean and the others doing instead of sleeping?
But then her eyes narrowed.
At this time, Li Xiangnan and Wang Defa had already arrived at the gate. From a distance, they saw Ambassador Cui lying on the sidewalk holding his daughter, and the door of the car behind him had not yet been closed.
"Ambassador Cui!"
It’s really him!
Li Xiangnan ran over quickly and greeted him, "What's wrong with the child?"
"She, she, she just fainted," Ambassador Cui shook his head with tears in his eyes, "It's all my fault. Doctor Li, Doctor Li, please take a look at her. How is she? How can we treat her? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let you go. It's all my fault..."
"Ambassador Cui, now is not the time to talk about this!"
Li Xiangnan reached into his bosom, grabbed the little girl's hand, frowned, and began to feel her pulse. At the same time, he began to check the little girl's eyelids and neck with his right hand. After about ten seconds, he shouted, "Fatty, call for help! Send her to the emergency room! Go quickly!"
"Okay!" Wang Defa ran back and saw the nurse who was at the emergency department's nurse station pushing the ambulance over. He took it and asked, "Xiao Tang, which doctor is on night duty tonight?"
"Doctor Fang is on duty! Doctor Shi is on the night shift!" Xiao Tang replied quickly.
"Go call someone, quickly!"
"Yes!"
Wang Defa pushed the ambulance and hurried to the side of the stairs.
Li Xiangnan took Cui Yin from Ambassador Cui's arms and put him on the cart. He asked quickly, "When did he become unconscious? Was it more than five minutes?"
"I don't know, I don't know either!" Ambassador Cui scratched his head anxiously. "I was by her bedside at night, and her breathing was fine. How could she suddenly gasp for air? I saw something was wrong, so I came to find you. She was calling me daddy at the time..."
Ambassador Cui was talking when he saw Li Xiangnan frowning. He quickly said, "When I left, I looked at my watch. It was only four o'clock! She might have been in the car. I called her but she didn't respond... No more than five or six minutes!"
Li Xiangnan looked at his watch.
Wow, it only took more than ten minutes to drive from Liangmaqiao North Street to the North Fourth Ring Road. Ambassador Cui is really fast. It seems he is really in a hurry!
"Doctor Li, what disease did Xiao Yin have? Why did she fall into a coma? I don't understand..."
Ambassador Cui had a look of confusion on his face and was jumping anxiously on the spot.
"Ambassador Cui, please don't worry. Now that you have been sent to me, I will do my best to help your daughter escape from danger! Go in first!"
Now was not the time to talk, so Li Xiangnan patted his arm and quickly walked towards the hall with Wang Defa pushing the cart.
Seeing Fang Yu and Shi Sijun both running over, he shouted, "Xiao Si, have someone prepare a ventilator. Lao Fang, quickly arrange a CT scan!"
"Yes!" The two ran away separately.
Li Xiangnan looked back at Ambassador Cui.
At this moment, Ambassador Cui was supporting his knees with his hands, bending over and breathing heavily, looking up at the building of Nianwei Hospital. Drops of sweat were running down his cheeks, and his chest was wet, not sure whether it was wet with tears or sweat.
His calves were still shaking, causing his suit pants to tremble.
Li Xiangnan turned around and pushed the little girl into the CT scanning room.
He knew that Ambassador Cui was not kneeling just now, but the other party was weak and could not walk at all.
He was lucky enough to have the seat support to step on the accelerator. Once he got out of the car, he would have been troubled by the tragedy of his daughter's tragic death, and he would have felt extremely scared.
Ambassador Cui must have had a fierce psychological struggle standing at the door.
Taking a step forward would mean hope for his daughter's safe return, but it might also lead to resentment from Japan, which could damage the cooperative interests of the entire country.
If he takes a step back, he will be appreciated by Japan, but his daughter may lose her life.
He might have been here a long time ago!
Standing at the door of this hall, as a father and a diplomatic envoy of a country, he shoulders different responsibilities, which brings him different psychological burdens.
In the end, his daughter Choi Yoon's coma awakened the contradictory fatherly love in his humanity.
He chose Li Xiangnan and chose life.
Li Xiangnan couldn't guess what the truth was, and in fact he was not allowed to think more about it.
Cui Yin's CT scan came as scheduled a few minutes later, and almost the entire operating room was in a state of panic.
"Dean, what's going on? Where are this child's lungs?"
"How come this child only has half of her right lung left? How did she survive? What disease is this?"
"I've never seen enough strange CT images like this. Dean, how can we save patients like this?"
Whether it was Fang Yu or Shi Sijun, even Wang Defa, who already knew it was white lung but still broke out in a cold sweat after seeing the CT images, they were all a little at a loss.
This is the first time that they have encountered such a situation for many years!
"This is white lung!" Li Xiangnan explained it to everyone solemnly, then waved his hand and shouted, "Get the bronchoscope ready. I want to go inside her body and see what's going on! I'll go out and get her father to sign!"
"Director, consent form for surgery!" Guo Fang had already prepared the paper, pen and documents.
Li Xiangnan took a CT scan, opened the door and walked out.
At the door of the operating room, there was only Ambassador Cui standing alone.
"Ambassador Cui! The child has undergone a CT scan and white lungs have been found in both lungs. Surgery is required. Please sign!"
Li Xiangnan sighed and handed over the materials.
"White...white what?" Cui Daishi's voice changed.
"It's white lung!" Li Xiangnan moved the operation book aside and showed Cui Yin's shocking CT image to Ambassador Cui without reservation.
Boom!
Ambassador Cui sat down on the bench and then slid to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Li Xiangnan quickly grabbed him.
"This...what does this mean? What is white lung?" Ambassador Cui gritted his teeth, completely dumbfounded.
"In Cui Yin's case, three-quarters of her lungs are not currently functioning normally, so I need to go inside her body to see what's going on! I need surgery!" Li Xiangnan pointed at the CT scan report.
Ambassador Cui's scalp tingled. "You confirmed the condition of her lungs yesterday? You knew it a long time ago?"
"Yes, your daughter's lungs are silent. I know her condition is very serious!" Li Xiangnan said calmly.
"No wonder..." Ambassador Cui suddenly realized and glanced at the report in his hand, "It's still Nihong's CT! So this is your confidence!"
"Did Cui Yin have symptoms of pneumonia before? Has he been diagnosed by a doctor?" Li Xiangnan asked quickly.
"It was just bronchitis. I don't know if it developed into pneumonia later..."
After saying this, Ambassador Cui paused, took a deep breath, and supported himself on the corner of the bench. "I'll sign!"
After writing his name quickly, Ambassador Cui said apologetically: "Doctor Li, I'm sorry, I'm too narrow-minded! I almost..."
"Ambassador Cui!" Li Xiangnan smiled and took the informed consent form for the surgery. "There is an old saying in Long Country that people should not keep three things: yesterday's sorrow, overnight hatred, and regrets! As long as you don't regret the decision you made today, there is nothing to worry about..."
"Cui Jindong! Where's the child? Where's the child..."
As the two were talking, a dark-skinned woman ran into the corridor, looking panicked.
"It's my family member!" Cui Jindong sighed apologetically, "She was sleeping in the dormitory and I didn't inform her. I guess she was worried and came here to look for me!"
As they were talking, a lot of people came running into the corridor.
"Ambassador Cui, please call Minister Hong at dawn!"
"Hey, I know, thank you! My daughter, thank you for the trouble!" Ambassador Cui waved his hand to bring the family members over and bowed to Li Xiangnan.
"I'll try my best!" Li Xiangnan walked into the room.
At dawn.
Hong Kaixuan had just got up and was going to the gate of the yard to collect the morning evening paper when he heard the ringing of the phone in the house. He hurried back into the house, waved to his wife who came out in her clothes, and answered the phone.
But half a minute later, his expression froze.
"What? Ambassador Cui went to Nianwei Hospital, but the people from the Neon Embassy also went there? What were they doing there?"
