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

Dr. Zheng shook his head helplessly, his face full of regret: "We have done our best. You all know the strength of the military hospital. Even if we go to other places, there is no other possibility."

The injuries are too severe; we are truly unable to do anything more. The patient will be wheeled out immediately. You can take a look, and the nurse will transfer him to the intensive care unit right away.

Hospital regulations prohibit unauthorized visits and allow patients to stay with family members.

The words had barely left his mouth when the operating room door opened again.

Two nurses pushed the hospital bed out quickly.

Zhou Yun and Xie Chenjie immediately rushed over, covering their mouths and sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down their faces.

Fu Hua moved with heavy steps, slowly making her way to the bedside.

My heart shattered at just one glance.

However, after not seeing him for almost half a year, Xie Ci had become so thin he looked unrecognizable.

The once tall and robust man was now deathly pale, his eyes tightly shut, lifeless.

Her breathing was so faint it was almost invisible, and she had completely transformed into a stranger to herself.

She instinctively reached out, wanting to take his hand.

But as soon as I touched it, I felt a handful of dried blood.

My heart felt like it was being gripped tightly, as if it were being pounded by a hammer.

The pain is excruciating; even breathing hurts.

This kind of excruciating pain is simply indescribable.

Fu Hua only snapped out of her daze when the nurse pushed the hospital bed away quickly toward the ICU.

She quickly caught up with Dr. Zheng, her eyes full of pleading: "Dr. Zheng, please make an exception and let me go in to be with him."

Dr. Zheng refused without even thinking.

In a serious tone: "No, this is the intensive care unit of a military hospital, a completely closed, sterile environment."

Deputy Division Commander Xie is a critically ill active-duty soldier; no one except dedicated medical personnel is allowed to enter and care for him.

Firstly, there's the fear of cross-infection affecting patient recovery.

Secondly, this is a strict rule of military hospitals, and no exceptions can be made.

Fu Hua subconsciously reached for her bag, wanting to get her ID.

Then I realized that I had left in such a hurry that I had left my bag in the office and hadn't brought it with me at all.

She remained calm, straightened her back, and spoke with a firm and solemn tone: "Dr. Zheng, I am Fu Hua from the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Anzhen Hospital, and also a core researcher of the new artificial heart valve."

I have extensive experience in post-operative care for critically ill patients and can assist medical staff in monitoring his vital signs.

In the unlikely event that Xie Ci experiences a heart-related emergency, I will be there to provide immediate assistance and will never cause any trouble!

"Besides, I know aseptic techniques, so there's no risk of infection. When I go in, I'll just be there to watch over him; it won't interfere with any treatment!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Zheng's face instantly showed a look of surprise.

I never expected this young woman in front of me.

It turned out to be Fu Hua, who has recently gained fame in the medical field.

Xie Chenjie, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward to plead on her behalf: "Dr. Zheng, I can guarantee that her medical skills are superb and she will definitely not cause any trouble."

The child's condition is critical. Having her inside to watch over him gives us some peace of mind. Please, could you make an exception this time?

Dr. Zheng looked troubled and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to help, but military regulations are paramount. I have to report this to my superiors for approval. I'll be right back. Please wait a moment."

Before long, Dr. Zheng returned quickly.

Fu Hua nodded, "Your superiors have approved it; you can go in to accompany her."

Remember to strictly adhere to ICU aseptic procedures, cooperate with the nurses, and call for medical staff immediately if any problems arise.

Fu Hua finally felt relieved and bowed deeply to Dr. Zheng.

I followed the nurse and quickly walked into the intensive care unit.

.........

In the latter half of the night, the ward was so quiet that only the beeping of the medical equipment could be heard.

Fu Hua stayed by Xie Ci's bedside the whole time and was the first to notice that Xie Ci had developed a high fever.

His body temperature soared, and his face turned bright red.

While unconscious, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his breathing became heavy.

Fu Hua, dressed in thick sterile clothing, stood anxiously by the bedside, her palms sweating profusely.

I wanted to mix some spiritual spring water to feed him, but he clenched his teeth and I couldn't get it in no matter what I did.

She was terribly flustered, and her eyes were already red-rimmed.

When you feel like you can't hold back your tears, look up at the ceiling and let them flow back into your heart.

Tears would fall and stain her sterile gown, so she had to hold them back.

Fu Hua took a cotton swab, dipped it in the spiritual spring water, and gently wiped Xie Ci's dry, chapped lips.

Every now and then, I would use a cool towel to wipe his forehead, neck, and palms to gradually lower his temperature.

She didn't dare close her eyes for a moment, staring intently at the numbers on the screen, staying up all night.

Fortunately, as dawn approached, Xie Ci's body temperature gradually decreased.

He has returned to normal, and all his vital signs have stabilized.

The doctors and nurses who came in early for shift handover all breathed a sigh of relief after finishing their rounds.

From afar, they huddled together and whispered amongst themselves:

"That woman inside stayed up all night, never leaving for a moment. Who exactly is she to Deputy Division Commander Xie?"

"Judging by how much she cares, it must be a close family member, either a younger sister or a boyfriend. Otherwise, who could resist her!"

"That's right. Deputy Division Commander Xie had a bright future ahead of him. He completed this mission brilliantly and was about to be promoted immediately upon his return. It's such a pity that he ended up like this..."

As they were talking, the head nurse walked over with a treatment tray, her face suddenly turning cold and grim.

Lowering her voice, she sternly rebuked, "Stop whispering here. Is the ICU a place to talk about patients?"

Deputy Division Commander Xie is a soldier who was wounded in the line of duty. What kind of talk is this, gossiping like this!

Everyone, get back to your work, strictly adhere to discipline, and don't say a single word you shouldn't!

The medical staff were immediately silenced after being reprimanded, and quickly dispersed to get back to work, no longer daring to discuss it privately.

The head nurse walked over to Fu Hua and whispered, "Comrade, Deputy Division Commander Xie's mother brought you breakfast and has been waiting for you. She wants you to come out and have some."

Fu Hua didn't even look up; her gaze remained fixed on Xie Ci's face.

She gently shook her head: "I'm not hungry. Please tell Auntie that I'm doing fine inside and that she shouldn't worry about me."

The head nurse went out and relayed the message to Zhou Yun, whose eyes were red-rimmed.

With a look of heartache, she turned to Xie Chenjie and said, "You have things to do at work, go ahead and take care of them. I'll stay here and watch over things."

Just as Xie Chenjie was about to speak, footsteps came from the other end of the corridor.

The old commander, along with Commander Hua and several other high-ranking officers, rushed over.

Xie Chenjie immediately stood up straight and gave a standard military salute.

The old commander strode over and asked anxiously, "How is Xie Ci? Is he out of danger?"

Dr. Zheng quickly replied, "Don't worry, sir. His life has been saved. He had a high fever last night, but thanks to the woman inside who was watching over him, he pulled through."

After hearing this, the old commander let out a long sigh of relief, and his eyes instantly reddened.

Turning around, he grabbed Xie Chenjie's hand.

Tears welled up in her eyes: "Comrade Xie, I'm so sorry, we didn't take good care of your son!"

He was so badly injured while protecting vital national property; the Party and the people will never forget him.

Raising such a good son is an honor for the whole family and a source of pride for the military!

The organization will take care of all the follow-up treatment and family matters, ensuring that our hero doesn't bleed and weep!

After speaking, the old commander looked at Zhou Yun, who was wiping away tears.

His voice choked with emotion: "Comrade Zhou, you've suffered because of me. Your words of thanks are commendable, and you all are commendable. The army will not treat you unfairly. If you encounter any difficulties, please come to the organization anytime!"
