CHAPTER 357: CHAPTER 358: A RIVAL IN LOVE APPEARS (PART 5)

Zhou Jiangzhi, who was convulsing all over from the pain and nearly fainting, heard Lu Chi’s words and immediately opened his bloodshot eyes in agitation. His forehead was bulging with veins from holding back the pain, and he struggled to make a hoarse plea from his throat,

"No, Li... Manager... I, I don’t want an amputation, I can’t lose my hand. Without my hand, I am nothing, just a useless person. I still want to be a sailor, I want to be a sailor for life. Please, save me..."

Li Tingyan’s face looked grim, "Doctor Lu, is there really no other way besides amputation? He is my best sailor, he cannot lose his hand."

"I’m sorry, there is no other way. If we don’t perform the amputation, he won’t make it through tonight. Whether to live or keep the hand, you have to decide."

Lu Chi also found it hard to bear, but Zhou Jiangzhi’s condition was truly dire. His entire hand was a bloody mess, and there were many bacteria in his spine, all bitten into by creatures from the seabed. Even an Immortal couldn’t save him. He’s a doctor; saving lives is his duty, but doctors aren’t omnipotent. He too has moments when he is helpless.

Li Tingyan’s face turned darker and darker. Although he didn’t understand medicine, he could see that Zhou Jiangzhi’s situation was indeed not optimistic. He just couldn’t believe it, nor could he bear to see his sailor lose a hand like that.

Lu Chi spoke seriously, "Manager Li, you should make a decision quickly. The longer this drags on, the worse it’ll be for his recovery after surgery."

Li Tingyan closed his eyes, knowing there was no better solution at this point. He didn’t want his sailor to lose his hand, didn’t want to face his sailor’s despair, but he couldn’t just watch him die.

"Alright, then go ahead with the surgery, just make sure to save his life!"

"No, I don’t want the surgery, I want my hand, I don’t want to be useless. Manager Li, don’t bother with me, just let me wait for death..."

Zhou Jiangzhi shouted excitedly, trying hard to protect his right hand with his slightly injured left hand, as if only in this way could he hold onto everything.

He didn’t want an amputation. He had only been with the Sea Merchant Company for five years; he still had unfulfilled dreams, he still wanted to achieve his life’s worth. He’d rather die than get amputated.

"Jiangzhi, you can’t die. If you die, how will I live..."

Lin Xia, who hurried over after receiving the news of her husband’s severe injury, was so frightened by the conversation that she sobbed uncontrollably, lying next to Zhou Jiangzhi.

"Wife, wife, please help me beg them, not to cut off my hand, I don’t want to be useless..." Zhou Jiangzhi, with bloodshot eyes, pleaded with Lin Xia.

"Manager Li, and doctor, please save my husband. He can’t be without his hand, you’re taking his life away..." Lin Xia cried breathlessly.

Li Tingyan remained silent, and Lu Chi was at a loss for words.

Just when the atmosphere was incredibly tense and at a stalemate, suddenly, a cold clear voice came through, like divine music entering everyone’s ears,

"Wait a minute, let me take a look at his condition!"

"Nini!"

Li Tingyan’s eyes lit up. He had been so flustered that he had forgotten about his wife, the Divine Doctor. Perhaps there was a glimmer of hope?

However, Li Tingyan did not hold much hope.

"It’s you!"

Lu Chi couldn’t help but widen his eyes upon seeing Nianyang. Wasn’t this the young lady who helped save that older woman with food poisoning?

He was surprised to see her here, could she also be a doctor here?

But she was so young!
