Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 630 - 625: As Long as He Lives

Fang Xiu shivered involuntarily when she saw the blood and the somewhat familiar bicycle. She grabbed Fang Pingying’s arm, seeking comfort, and said, "Big sister, Guangsheng wouldn’t have ridden a bicycle today; he must have taken the bus."

Fang Pingying also recognized that it was Zhou Guangsheng’s bicycle because occasionally, to take Haohao along, Zhou Guangsheng had installed a small bamboo chair basket for children on his bicycle, and that bicycle had the little chair on it.

Her body also shuddered slightly, then she forced herself to calm down, pulling Fang Xiu, whose body had somewhat softened, towards the crowd, "Let’s go over there and see."

They had only walked a few steps forward when suddenly a shout from a young soldier in a military uniform came from not far away, "Sister-in-law, this way."

The young soldier rushed over to Fang Pingying and asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, did the Battalion Commander call you to hurry over here?"

At this point, Fang Pingying was almost certain that this incident was related to them, and hearing Luo Zhiyong’s name made her heart skip a beat. She asked incoherently, "What... what’s going on? Why did he urgently call me here?"

"You didn’t know yet?" The young soldier anxiously pointed at the people gathered around and said, "Chief Zhou had a car accident..."

He hadn’t finished his sentence when, upon hearing the words ’car accident’, Fang Xiu’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Fang Pingying and the young soldier immediately supported her, and Fang Pingying, patting her face loudly, called out, "Xiu’er, Xiu’er..."

Fang Xiu did not respond for a long time. Fang Pingying, having no other choice at this moment as she couldn’t let her faint, had the young soldier support Fang Xiu while she firmly pressed on a specific point on Fang Xiu’s face. Fang Xiu slowly regained consciousness and immediately stood up, leaning on Fang Pingying’s hand, and asked the young soldier, "Where is Chief Zhou now? Has he been taken to the hospital?"

The young soldier nodded, "He has already been taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. The leader arranged for me to wait here for you."

Then, the young soldier seemed to have a lot to say, but remembering Fang Xiu fainting just now, he dared not speak.

Fang Xiu noticed, and said directly, "Comrade, just speak frankly, I’m mentally prepared to withstand it."

Hearing this, Fang Pingying also said to the young soldier, "Speak, she has to face it in the hospital anyway."

The young soldier nodded and said, "Chief Zhou’s condition is very critical right now. We originally planned to notify his family, but we couldn’t find his family’s contact information, so we had no choice but to call Battalion Commander Luo, and he said he would notify."

After speaking, the young soldier looked at Fang Xiu and asked Fang Pingying, "Sister-in-law, you two are..."

"She’s my younger sister and also Chief Zhou’s partner. They were planning to get married today," Fang Pingying said.

Upon knowing their relationship, the young soldier immediately addressed Fang Xiu as sister-in-law, then quickly led them to the hospital where Zhou Guangsheng was being treated.

When they followed the young soldier to the hospital, Zhou Guangsheng was still undergoing resuscitation, and their situation was unknown. Outside, several military officers in uniforms stood.

By the look of the epaulets, they should all be Zhou Guangsheng’s superiors. They seemed to recognize Fang Pingying because Fang Pingying sometimes visited Luo Zhiyong’s military base, and most of the base knew her.

When they saw Fang Pingying coming, they were slightly surprised. They didn’t quite know of the family relationship between Fang Pingying and Zhou Guangsheng, but the young soldier quickly clarified Fang Xiu’s identity, and several leaders shook hands with Fang Pingying and Fang Xiu.

Once inside the hospital, Fang Xiu did not utter another word, and after meeting the leaders, she went to wait at the door of the emergency room.

Subsequently, Fang Pingying asked about the details of the incident.

It turned out that no one knew exactly what happened because the driver at fault had not been caught. The driver seemed to have hit someone and ran away. Passersby saw it was a black private car that caused the accident, but nobody remembered the license plate or anything.

Fortunately, the place where Zhou Guangsheng had the accident was not far from their military base, where personnel from the base frequently came and went, allowing them to promptly alert the Police Station and get the victim to the hospital. Otherwise, if there had been a long delay, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Fang Pingying felt there was something strange about the incident and asked the leaders, "Can you determine whether the driver did it intentionally or accidentally?"

"We cannot confirm for the time being," one of the leaders, who was in his forties and whom the young soldier introduced as Commander Xu, said, "But, it was a crossroad where accidents easily occur, so we cannot rule out the possibility of it being an accident."

If that was the case, there really wasn’t much to suspect, and Fang Pingying didn’t ask further, merely nodding her head.

Seeing this, Commander Xu gave Fang Pingying a reassurance, "Please rest assured, comrades, whether it’s the military or the Police Station, we will do our utmost to pursue the driver, and we won’t let them get away with it."

"Thank you, leaders."

Zhou Guangsheng was continuously in the operating room, his life hanging by a thread. Fang Xiu was completely dazed, on the verge of collapse. Fang Pingying couldn’t manage to analyze the situation or think too much. The only thing she could do was pray that Zhou Guangsheng would be blessed, that a kind-hearted person would have good karma.

Zhou Guangsheng’s situation was not very optimistic. The doctors rescued him in the operating room for several hours, with waves of doctors going in and out, and the last to come out brought Fang Pingying, Fang Xiu, and everyone else unwelcome news,

"The patient is still not out of danger and needs to be observed for twenty-four hours before it can be confirmed. However, family members should be prepared that the patient’s leg was injured in this accident. Even if he recovers later, the leg may not return to its original state."

Upon hearing this, Fang Pingying immediately followed up, "Does that mean he won’t be able to walk normally in the future?"

The doctor gently shook his head, "It might not be that severe. He should be able to walk without hindrance, just can’t do heavy work or lead troops into battle, among other things. But the specific condition still depends on his recovery."

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, both Fang Pingying and Fang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Honestly, if Zhou Guangsheng could survive, even if his leg was slightly impaired, for them as family, it was already a great fortune amidst the misfortune.

Fang Xiu then impulsively grabbed the doctor’s hand, pleading, "Doctor, if the leg can’t be healed, so be it. Even if he’s crippled, I don’t mind. What’s important is to save his life. As long as he’s alive and well, I don’t care about anything else."

"Alright, alright, we as doctors will certainly do our best," the doctor saw Fang Xiu’s agitation, gently patted her back, and comforted, "Don’t worry so much, family members. Tonight is critical for the patient, and if he can get through tonight, he should be able to get through the critical period."

Upon hearing this, Fang Pingying and Fang Xiu immediately thanked him, "Thank you, doctor."
