The fake heiress loves to act? The max-level boss isn't interested in playing along.

Fu Hua drove very fast and quickly arrived at the entrance of the military hospital.

Although the sentry at the gate was unaware of the relationship between Hua and Xie Ci,

However, her credentials were a military professional and technical appointment letter.

It requires an official seal and approval from a division-level or higher authority.

The sentry immediately raised his hand to let them pass.

Taking the documents, Fu Hua's hands trembled slightly with nervousness.

The sentry couldn't help but glance at her again, thinking something serious had happened.

I didn't control the car properly while parking, and it crashed into the wall with a "bang".

She didn't even bother to check if the car was damaged; she pushed open the car door and rushed into the hospital lobby.

Her hair was disheveled. After asking a nurse, she stumbled and staggered into the inpatient corridor.

From afar, Zhou Yun and Xie Chenjie could be seen standing at the entrance of the operating room.

Zhou Yun leaned against the wall, trembling with sobs, gasping for breath, her tears soaking the front of her clothes.

Xie Chenjie stood to the side, his brows furrowed and his face dark.

His expression was serious and heavy, and he exuded an indescribable sense of oppression.

Fu Hua's heart pounded, and she rushed to the two of them.

Her voice trembled uncontrollably, and she asked in a tearful choke, "Uncle, Auntie, how is Xie Ci? Where is he injured? Is it serious?"

Zhou Yun looked up and saw her, reaching out to pull her closer, but her tears fell even harder.

She choked back tears as she spoke, "Huahua, you... how did you get here so fast... I just got a call from the hospital and rushed over. I don't know the specifics of what happened..."

Fu Hua felt increasingly panicked. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Xie Chenjie beside her; her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately turned to stare at him.

He pressed on, "Uncle, do you know the truth? Don't hide it from me, tell me the truth, what happened to the thank-you speech? I can handle it!"

Zhou Yun was also slightly taken aback, then turned and grabbed Xie Chenjie's arm tightly.

She cried and shouted, "Old Xie, do you know about our son's condition? Tell us quickly, don't hide it from us! We're not as fragile as you think."

Xie Chenjie's expression shifted slightly, and he pondered for a long time.

His shoulders slumped, and his eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Holding back tears, she spoke with difficulty: "A-Ci... he's been injured for two days now. The local hospital couldn't treat him, so he was transferred to the Beijing Military Region Hospital overnight..."

My men told me that his legs were blown to pieces, and it's still uncertain whether he'll survive...

In the end, he couldn't say anything more, and tears welled up in his eyes and streamed down his cheeks.

On the day my son joined the army,

He was prepared for the worst-case scenario.

But when this actually happened to his own son,

As a father, how could I not feel heartbroken, how could I accept this?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes vacant.

He was completely stunned, even forgetting to cry, muttering to himself but unable to make a sound.

Fu Hua felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by a large hand, the pain making it hard for her to breathe and her whole body felt cold.

Until Xie Chenjie handed over a handkerchief,

Only then did she belatedly realize that she was already in tears.

Large tears, like a torrential downpour of hail, slammed onto the floor.

Zhou Yun came to his senses and forced himself to get up from the ground.

Holding Fu Hua's hand, he wiped away his tears while comforting her, "Good child, don't cry, don't worry. Aci has always been a lucky child."

The military hospital has the best doctors; he'll pull through. You have to believe in me, okay?

These words of comfort, when they reached Fu Hua's ears, all seemed to be separated by a thick wall.

The sound drifted in the sky, indistinct and distant.

She remained motionless, her eyes fixed intently on the closed operating room door, her gaze unfocused.

I wish I could rush in immediately, stay by Xie Ci's side, and help him in any way I could.

No matter how good her medical skills or how great her scientific research abilities are, she cannot bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded.

If I were to resign and actually lose both legs, how much suffering would I have to endure?

He was so proud, so outstanding, and a soldier at that. How could he possibly face such an outcome...?

She dared not think any further; every time she did, her heart ached as if being cut by a knife, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

This surgery lasted for more than ten hours.

From dawn till dusk, it felt like an eternity to Fu Hua.

The operating room lights were on all the time, and the corridor was eerily quiet.

The three of them stood guard at the door without leaving for a moment, and none of them closed their eyes.

Zhou Yun looked at Fu Hua, whose eyes were bloodshot, and felt a pang of heartache.

He tugged at her arm and whispered, "Huahua, why don't you go back and rest for a while? Your uncle and I will keep an eye on things here. Don't worry, I'll call you as soon as Aci comes out of the operating room. I won't delay you at all."

Without a second thought, Fu Hua shook her head vigorously, her feet rooted to the spot, refusing to move.

She knew better than anyone that medical technology was limited in this era.

Orthopedic surgery is inherently difficult, let alone severe blast injuries.

The blood vessels, nerves, and bones are all destroyed; there is absolutely no possibility of repair.

Amputation is the only option; whether or not one can endure it depends entirely on their willpower.

With her here, at the very least, his life can be saved.

She didn't say much, turned around and found a nurse in the corridor, borrowing three clean water glasses.

Turning back to the corner, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking, she quietly drew out spiritual spring water from her spatial storage, filled a cup, and...

He first handed the cups to Zhou Yun and Xie Chenjie, and then drank several cups himself.

After drinking the sweet spring water, my extremely tense nerves finally relaxed a bit, and much of my fatigue dissipated.

She knew in her heart that the toughest battle was yet to come, and she had to hold on.

A short while later, the operating room lights finally went out.

A male doctor came out.

His face was wrinkled, and he looked to be in his fifties.

The other person slowly removed their mask, their expression extremely serious.

His brows were furrowed tightly; it was clear at a glance that the outcome was not good.

When Fu Hua saw this expression, her breath almost stopped.

Xie Chenjie strode forward, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

She grabbed the doctor's arm: "Dr. Zheng, my son... how is my son? You must tell me the truth!"

Dr. Zheng glanced at Fu Hua, whose face was pale, and hesitated.

Zhou Yun quickly stepped forward and wiped away her tears.

He explained, "This is Aci's closest... friend. You don't need to hold back. Just say what you want to say. We can handle it."

Dr. Zheng nodded and, to make a long story short,

His tone was that of a doctor with professional composure, and every word pierced the heart: "Deputy Commander Xie's injuries this time are too severe. Both of his legs were shattered by the explosion, and his muscles and blood vessels are completely destroyed."

To save his life, we had no choice but to perform bilateral lower leg amputations.

Even more seriously, his spinal cord was also damaged by the explosion. Even if he survives, he will completely lose sensation in his lower body and will probably never be able to stand up again in his life.

The surgery is now over. He has lost too much blood and is experiencing multiple organ failure. Whether he can be saved depends entirely on whether he can get through tonight's critical period. You... need to be mentally prepared.

These words struck Zhou Yun like a bolt from the blue. Her body went limp, and she collapsed into Xie Chenjie's arms.

She burst into tears instantly, completely breaking down.

Xie Chenjie's eyes also reddened, he clenched his teeth tightly, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He clung to the doctor, pleading, "Dr. Zheng, please think of another way! He's not even thirty yet, and he's not married..."
