CHAPTER 307: CHAPTER 307: YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE, DIDN’T YOU?

The doctor pushing the trolley quickly got Qin Xiao into the elevator. As it descended, Xiao Li kept her eyes fixed on Qin Xiao’s face.

The space in the elevator was limited. Xiao Li was squeezed to the end of the bed and couldn’t move forward to hold Qin Xiao’s hand. She could only watch him like this.

Fortunately, the elevator reached the floor quickly. The doctor at the door got out first, then pulled the trolley out. Xiao Li followed closely, running alongside the trolley, "Uncle..."

Qin Xiao was unconscious, offering no response at all!

Until Qin Xiao was pushed into the operating room, Xiao Li didn’t get to hold his hand!

As the door to the operating room was about to close, Xiao Li rushed in. She was a little scared; not being able to hold his hand just now made her very anxious!

The nurse saw her come in, noticed her in a white coat, and didn’t pay much attention, assuming she was also a surgeon.

Xiao Li didn’t explain, directly following to wash her hands and don the surgical gown. Although she had never done a surgical operation in the respiratory department, she had done interventional procedures.

She knew what to do before entering an operating room!

After putting on everything, Xiao Li entered the operating room.

After gaining the main surgeon’s consent, she was allowed to stay in the operating room and finally held Qin Xiao’s hand. Tears she had been holding back flowed at this moment!

The surgery took a long time, as the bullet had entered the spine, requiring the main surgeon to be extremely careful when removing it!

Because the spine is so delicate, one wrong move could cause paralysis!

Because of this, during the entire process of removing the bullet, the main surgeon was very cautious!

After the surgery, Qin Xiao was sent to the ward. Xiao Li watched over him without blinking until he woke up!

The extent of the damage caused by the bullet would only be known after Qin Xiao woke up!

In the ward, Qin Tan and He Jie were also present. Qin’s father and mother weren’t informed, so they weren’t there.

They were at the old house with the children, and if they were informed, the children would know too!

What would ultimately happen to Qin Xiao was still unknown. Telling them would just add more people to worry; it was better to keep it from them for now.

Time passed slowly, and when Qin Xiao finally came around, Xiao Li immediately called for the doctor.

The doctor came and did an examination. When they found that he had no feeling in his thigh, everyone’s hearts sank!

Later, the doctor said it could be that the anesthesia hadn’t worn off yet, and to wait and see!

By the next day, when Qin Xiao still had no feeling in his thigh, he was sent for an MRI.

The MRI results were fortunately not too bad, although the bullet had injured the nerve, the damage wasn’t too extensive.

Qin Xiao’s lack of feeling in his thigh was temporary, and with some physical exercises over time, it could recover.

On the hospital bed, Qin Xiao leaned back, and Xiao Li lay in his arms, "Uncle, you almost scared me to death!

Do you think I scared you too much before, so now you’re doing this to scare me repeatedly?"

Qin Xiao nodded, "Hmm, you figured it out! You really are impressive!"

Xiao Li snorted lightly, "Hm, you big liar! Didn’t you say nothing would happen? Then why are you lying here now?"

Qin Xiao touched his nose, "I just wanted to experience the feeling of being cared for, so I ended up lying here."

As the two were joking around, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in..."

Yue Wenwen, with her arm in a sling, walked in, hesitated a bit upon seeing Qin Xiao and Xiao Li, took a deep breath, and then stepped forward, "Professor Qin, sister."

Seeing it was her, Xiao Li quickly invited her to sit down, "Wenwen, how’s your arm?"

Yue Wenwen replied softly, "It’s fine. Once the wound heals, it’ll be all good. Professor Qin, sister, I’m sorry!"

Xiao Li shook her head, "You don’t have to apologize, it’s not your fault.

You’re a victim yourself! How is your father?"

Mentioning her father, Yue Wenwen’s eyes dimmed, "My dad’s leg is crippled. From now on, he’ll have to spend his life in a wheelchair!

But he’s considered lucky to have kept his life."

Xiao Li nodded, "Who’s taking care of him now?"

"Right now, my brother is taking care of him in the hospital. In this state, I can’t take care of him. Later, I’ll go back to handle the assets at home and then bring him here to live with us, not going back to our old home." Yue Wenwen said softly.

The old home was now just a place of sorrow for them; better to stay far away!

Hearing this, Xiao Li glanced at Qin Xiao, who gave a slight nod, "I’ll have Qin Zilong accompany her to handle it!"

Yue Wenwen quickly shook her head, "No need, don’t trouble yourselves!"

Xiao Li chuckled lightly, "You and your brother have no experience in this field, so it’s better to have someone who knows what to do accompany you to handle it.

Your brother is still in school, and with your father like this, you’ve just graduated and started working. The outcome from handling the assets will be your future security; it can’t be taken lightly!

Wenwen, you call me sister, and we have such a good relationship. Are you trying to be polite with me now?"

Yue Wenwen’s eyes turned red, "Sister, I..."

Yue Wenwen felt very troubled. She had received benefits again and again, yet each time she brought harm to Xiao Li. Although it wasn’t her who harmed Xiao Li, those people were her closest relatives!

She didn’t even know how to face Xiao Li anymore, yet Xiao Li still treated her so well and thought of her in every way.

Xiao Li thought very simply; she was someone who clearly distinguished between kindness and hatred. Whoever made the mistake would be held accountable; there was no need to implicate the innocent!

Moreover, last time Yue Wenwen had helped her, and strictly speaking, this time she was implicated by her.

Furthermore, this young girl was quite pitiful, being harmed by her own family day in and day out. Xiao Li felt sorry for her!

After sitting for a while longer, Yue Wenwen left, and no sooner had she left, Bai Yu came in, entering with a light-hearted remark: "Qin Xiao, what you’re doing just isn’t right! I just got Xiao Li to join my hospital, and she hasn’t even worked for long before you went down!

Do you know how tired I am having to reschedule shifts again these past two days and calm down the colleagues facing increased workloads?"

He was actually just exaggerating. A single department wouldn’t have major issues just because one or two doctors were absent.

Xiao Li chimed in with a smile, "Thank you, cousin, but I’ll be back to work at the hospital in a couple of days!"

"You’re going back to the hospital? Then what about him..." Bai Yu asked, pointing to Qin Xiao, who still couldn’t move.

Xiao Li spread her hands, "He doesn’t care for my company, doesn’t need my care, someone else can take care of him!"

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, hinting at a situation!

Actually, Qin Xiao thought that in a few days when he felt a bit better, he would have to start physical rehabilitation, and it would be enough to have Feng accompany him. After all, it was a physically demanding task to support himself up and down.

Qin Xiao didn’t want Xiao Li to be tired!

Even though Xiao Li understood his intentions, she still felt a bit upset inside!
