Geng Yongzhe glanced at Student Xie, a flicker of gray light flashed in his eyes, and a bead of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
He finally understood what Student Xieâs previous joke about moving the car a little meant: it was preparing to carry the patient and make a run for it.
The whole class of boys is terrified of Student Xieâs jokes for a reason. After this experience, he believes he will be just as scared in the future.
Xie Wanying remained calm, actually wanting to tell her classmates: her jokes are still fine, not as frightening as Boss Zhangâs sharp tongue.
Alleyways are destined to be narrow.
The ambulance couldnât pass halfway through. Other vehicles donât even bother coming here, knowing full well that this section is too narrow for them to pass.
The family memberâs private car stopped along with the ambulance. Seeing the ambulance wasnât moving, the family members got out of their car, anxious enough to almost ignite. Only when they saw the medical personnel take the patientâs mobile bed down did they realize the medical personnel hadnât given up on saving lives.
"Let us help." Without another word, the family members abandoned their car and ran down to help the medical personnel push the stretcher bed.
The alleywayâs surface was small stones, uneven and rugged, causing the stretcher bed to jolt as it moved over them, which wasnât friendly to a bleeding patient. They couldnât simply push the wheels on the ground; everyone had to lift the stretcher bed together to transport the patient to the hospital. Truly impossible without the strength in numbers.
Three family members were responsible for lifting the back of the stretcher, while Geng Yongzhe and the driver lifted the front. Xie Wanying and the nurse stood in the middle, continuing to apply abdominal pressure to the patient.
Everyone sprinted the entire way. The patientâs husband called out to his wife, "Honey, hang in there, stay strong, the baby and I are waiting for you."
Perhaps hearing her husbandâs encouragement, the patientâs eyelids twitched.
The patientâs parents looked like they were about to shed tears: their daughter was now at the brink between life and death.
Itâs true that a woman giving birth is half in the coffin.
The group of people ran with all their might, carrying the stretcher bed for more than ten minutes, dashing out of the alley.
The towering white hospital building ahead was like seeing the dawn, urging everyone to sprint the last hundred meters.
They rushed into the emergency department, shouting at the medical staff there, "A patient is coming!"
The emergency department at Fangze Hospital was startled by their rush.
They were all dripping with sweat, with winter-red faces resembling those of people who had drunk too much, momentarily mistaken as if they were coming to fight.
"Looking for Director Zhai Yunsheng from Neurosurgery. I had made arrangements over the phone," the patientâs husband said, panting, immediately announcing the name of their arranged doctor.
The emergency nurse immediately called Neurosurgery in their hospital.
Within two minutes, two male doctors rushed down the stairs, one after another, striding swiftly.
The doctor at the front was in his early forties, tall, perhaps a basketball player, with handsome brows and eyes, facial lines that werenât overly stern but rather gentle. The following young doctor seemed to be in his twenties, shorter than the leader but not short, wearing glasses, appearing cultured and refined.
Looking closely, youâd find that both doctors were dressed in surgical scrub outfits under their white coats, their hair wrapped in surgical caps, indicating that these doctors were already fully prepared, just waiting for the patient to arrive.
Seeing the responsible doctors, Xie Wanying breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that, thankfully, they wouldnât repeat the scene at Xuanwu Hospital.
"Director Zhai." The patientâs husband, with reddened eyes, approached Zhai Yunsheng, not surprisingly looking at him as though he were a life-saving deity, "Please, you must save my wife. She just gave birth to our adorable baby."
