Chapter 123 Are you going to save someone?
The speed was fast all the way, and before long, Lin Feng stepped into the emergency room to see Lin Jie still sitting there, crying incessantly, so he walked over.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin! Whoo-whoo!" Lin Jie threw herself into Lin Feng’s arms, crying desperately.
"With Brother Lin here, there’s no need to worry. Tell Brother Lin what exactly happened." Lin Feng patted Lin Jie on her back to comfort her, then posed a question. He needed to know who Lin Dongchen had offended to end up like this. Otherwise, even if Lin Dongchen was saved, he might still be vulnerable lying in the hospital.
"Brother Lin, I really don’t know! Whoo-whoo!" Lin Jie continued to cry.
"Lin Jie, if you don’t tell Brother Lin, how can Brother Lin help you?" Lin Feng looked at Lin Jie, crying so heartbrokenly in his arms, feeling helpless. However, to aid Lin Jie’s family, he needed to know the specifics of the situation. With Lin Jie like this, he couldn’t get any clear answers; there was no way but to patiently inquire further.
"Brother Lin, I really don’t know what happened, whoo-whoo," Lin Jie sobbed, her mind racing with confusion. I really don’t know what happened, how can I tell you? And with Dad still like that, if I knew, wouldn’t I say...
"Then tell Brother Lin what you saw," Lin Feng said, having heard Lin Jie’s response. He was becoming convinced she truly knew nothing, so he changed his approach and asked her to simply share what she had witnessed, hoping it would give him a reference.
"I was so happy to receive a call from Dad inviting me to dinner, but when I got there, I saw him lying in a pool of blood. It terrified me! Whoo-whoo! My dad hadn’t provoked anyone, how could he have been beaten so badly!" Recalling the scene, Lin Jie began to shiver uncontrollably, clinging tightly to Lin Feng, apparently still not over the shock of that moment.
Indeed, how could a girl, pampered from a young age, not be frightened by such a bloody sight, especially when it was her own father lying there...
"Don’t be afraid, Brother Lin is here." Lin Feng consoled Lin Jie, gently patting her back, hoping to calm her down.
Having heard similar responses twice, Lin Feng became certain of his assessment. Whoever had beaten Lin Dongchen to this state was certainly no ordinary person. Although Lin Dongchen’s fate had nothing to do with him, seeing Lin Jie in such distress didn’t sit right with him. He guessed that this was a problem he would have to resolve himself.
Suddenly, Lin Feng felt many people in the hospital staring at him. He had been so focused on comforting Lin Jie and stabilizing her emotions that he realized too late why everyone was looking at him. After all, Lin Jie was a great beauty, crying all over him, and people who didn’t know any better might get the wrong idea.
But with Lin Jie still weeping in his arms, there was nothing Lin Feng could do but let her cling to him and cry.
Just then, the door to the emergency room swung open!
"Who is the patient’s family member?" Wang Xu stepped out from the emergency room and called out to the hall.
"Doctor, I’m his daughter! How is my father doing?" Hearing the doctor’s call, Lin Jie immediately rushed from Lin Feng’s embrace, catching the doctor’s hand and incessantly asking. Her heart was filled with enormous fear; she dreaded the doctor would deliver bad news. If that happened, she truly wouldn’t know what to do!
Within her heart, a thousand, ten thousand prayers were whispered: may the doctor’s words be good, may they be good, Father must be fine! Father must make it through!
Lin Feng saw Lin Jie break free and run to the doctor’s side and quickly followed suit. He feared that Lin Jie would be so shocked she might faint and it’d be bad if she fell straight to the ground, so he stayed close beside her to guard her.
"Prepare yourselves psychologically," Wang Xu said, seeing that Lin Jie was the patient’s daughter and decided to tell her the reality. The patient’s current condition was such that surviving this long was already incredibly difficult. If it hadn’t been for the patient’s strong willpower, he probably would have given up the ghost by now.
"Doctor, what do you mean? Tell me quickly, what has happened to my father!" When Lin Jie heard what the doctor said, she became frantic. How could it be? How could this happen? Her father, who had just spoken to her on the phone, how could he be in danger? The doctor must be deceiving her; her father had always been so healthy. He couldn’t be in trouble; he just couldn’t!
Lin Feng watched Lin Jie, without a better way to handle it, could only stand by and protect her.
"What I’m saying is, we’ve done all we could, but the patient has taken a turn for the worse and probably won’t last much longer," Wang Xu said, his heart softening at the sight of Lin Jie’s tears. Yet after a moment’s thought, he steeled himself to tell her the harsh truth, because it was unavoidable, and she needed to be informed.
Moreover, in line with Chinese tradition, there were preparations to be made. If he didn’t inform them in advance, it would be his dereliction of duty.
Having said that, Wang Xu turned around and reentered the emergency room.
"What? Dad is not doing well?" Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Lin Jie felt her entire body lose strength and was about to collapse. Her father, who had just been talking to her on the phone, was now not doing well; her father, who loved and doted on her, was about to die?
No, that couldn’t be possible, that couldn’t happen! My dad is still so young, how could he possibly be dying!
If Dad really died, what would I do in the future...
"Don’t be afraid, with Brother Lin Feng here, your dad won’t die." Lin Feng protected Lin Jie from falling, though he disliked Lin Dongchen’s family and felt even more aversion toward Lin Dongchen and his wife’s snobbishness. But with this sister here, Lin Feng still couldn’t let her be sad, so he decided to give saving a person a try.
"Brother Lin Feng, can you really save him? Can you really save Dad? Please, I beg you, hurry and save him." Lin Jie, hearing that Lin Feng could prevent her dad from dying, immediately grabbed Lin Feng’s hand tightly and pleaded with him. As long as her dad could be brought back to life, she was willing to do anything.
"I’ll try my best. Wait here for me and don’t wander off," Lin Feng said as he helped Lin Jie to a chair at the side, sat her down, then turned back toward the direction of the emergency room.
All Lin Jie felt now was fear and worry; she couldn’t care less about anything else, her mind filled only with thoughts of her dad, paying no attention to anything else.
"Who are you, and how can you barge into the emergency room like this!" Nurse Li saw Lin Feng dressed in casual clothes, clearly not a hospital staff member, yet attempting to rush into the emergency room. Isn’t the emergency room a restricted area, not a place just anyone could barge into? If something went wrong, who would take responsibility for it?
Looking at the young man, she didn’t think he was foolish. So why would he do such a foolish thing? If something happened to someone, who would take the blame?
"The critically ill patient inside, you said there was no hope for him. I’m going in to see if I can save him," Lin Feng didn’t beat around the bush and stated his intentions directly.
"What? You want to save the critically ill patient inside? Are you kidding me? There are two emergency room doctors in there. If they can’t save him, what can a young guy like you do? You must be joking," Nurse Li looked Lin Feng up and down, thinking to herself that he was just a kid stirring up trouble, that he couldn’t possibly be of any help, and hoping he wouldn’t make things worse.
Nurse Li felt that this young man seemed somewhat mentally unstable; otherwise, how could he come up with such an absurd idea? Wang Xu and Sun Ping were experienced doctors in the emergency room. If they couldn’t save the patient, the young man’s claim was no more than empty boasting, right?
Ignored by the nurse, Lin Feng continued walking toward the emergency room door, focusing on the most important thing at hand: saving a life.
"I’m talking to you! Didn’t you hear? Just who do you think you are, daring to barge through the emergency room door? If something goes wrong, who could bear that responsibility!" Nurse Li became alarmed when she saw Lin Feng continuing toward the emergency room and had already reached for the door; if he caused an accident by rushing in, it would be her on the line!
Was it easy for her to become a nurse? She had pulled many strings to get this job and absolutely couldn’t lose it just because she couldn’t stop him. The nursing code of conduct clearly stated it was her responsibility to prevent this, so no matter what, she couldn’t let Lin Feng barge in.
Thinking this, she grabbed Lin Feng’s arm, determined not to let him proceed any further, and began pulling him out forcefully.
"What’s going on outside, why all the noise? Don’t you know we’re in the middle of a rescue operation? If you want to squabble, take it outside! Don’t do it here!" Wang Xu, who had just entered the emergency room, was very upset. The patient inside was barely hanging on, and noise from outside was the last thing they needed. He wanted to work in peace.
With this in mind, Wang Xu quickly stepped out, intending to see who was causing a commotion in the hospital, disrupting their rescue efforts.
"What’s going on here, what are you doing?" Wang Xu, upon stepping out from the emergency room, yelled out and saw Nurse Li trying to grab a young man; just as she reached him, he shook her off. In his mind, Wang Xu wondered what Nurse Li was doing trying to stop this young man.
"This young man, for some reason, is talking nonsense about being able to save the patient inside. I obviously couldn’t let him enter, so I started arguing with him at the door to prevent him from going into the emergency room," Nurse Li, upon seeing Wang Xu, was not afraid since she had done her duty. The hospital wouldn’t discipline her for this, and now with Wang Xu supporting her, she felt even more confident.
"You want to save someone? Who do you want to save, and do you know where this is? Do you know how serious the situation is inside? If something happens, can you bear the responsibility? You must be joking," Wang Xu, seeing Lin Feng, was equally surprised. He had initially thought this young man was the patient’s daughter’s boyfriend, but now he was talking about saving someone. Could he be a medical student? Even if he was, how many years could he have studied medicine to confidently claim he wanted to save someone? Wang Xu thought the young man was completely clueless; saving a life wasn’t something for an impulsive youth to do!
