My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s-Chapter 479 - 473: He Is Not That Fragile
Chapter 479: Chapter 473: He Is Not That Fragile
Tang Yuxin wanted to step forward, but the doctor blocked her.
“Dr. Tang, rest assured, we will do our best. Your hand…” His current worry was Tang Yuxin, whose fingers were continuously trembling. She probably couldn’t even hold a scalpel now.
Her hand was already sour and numb. How could she still enter the operating room and perform the surgery?
Tang Yuxin leaned on Gu Ning’s arm. Her hands were still shaking, even her legs, and all she could do was watch as the doctor pushed the patient into the operating room.
“I’m sorry, Uncle Gu, I failed.”
She lifted her hands which were void of any sensation. She had forgotten what exactly she had just done. What had she done? What indeed?

“You did well,” Gu Ning patted her head, then led her to sit down on the rest chair. He grasped her hand and rubbed the back of her constantly. Her hands, which had been holding the same position continuously, had been numbed until they lost all feeling entirely.
Meanwhile, Gu Qing was still persevering within the operating room, the surgery being the second hurdle. There were many more hurdles to cross ahead, there was much more pain to endure, but the price for survival was always high.
Dying was easy, but surviving was hard.
The surgery started from just past noon and went until about six o’clock. The light in the operating room finally went out. The doctor announced the surgery had been successful, but the injuries were severe. There was damage to several organs, multiple fractures, damage to soft tissue, and there had also been a potential impact to his reproductive abilities due to the trauma.
This was a man in his early thirties. He was once full of vigor, but now, he resembled a rag doll patched together, with injuries all over his body wrapped up like a mummy. Both his legs and arms were fractured. But no matter what, his life was saved. This was remarkable for a man whose heart had stopped beating for nearly half an hour.
This could almost be called a medical miracle, and so could Tang Yuxin.
Tang Yuxin’s hands shook for three whole days. During these three days, Gu Qing suffered torment, but no matter what, he survived, persevered through the most difficult days, and transferred from the critical ward to a general ward. Even though the process was risky, Gu Qing survived. He was breathing, his heart beating.
His heart was beating relentlessly, without pause.
And his condition got better by the day.
“Aren’t you letting them come?” Tang Yuxin asked Gu Ning.
Gu Ning shook his head as he gently wiped Gu Qing’s face with a towel. “My mother’s nervous breakdown has not yet improved, my father has too many things to handle, and my grandparents are too old to withstand such a blow.”
“Let’s wait until he gets better.”
Gu Qing remained unconscious, yet his complexion was visibly getting better by the day, and his life force was increasingly robust. He was the one making the quickest and best recovery amongst them all.
“I know my brother well,” Gu Ning set down the towel. “We, the Gu family, are like this – no matter what condition our bodies are in, we will survive because we have unfinished duties, parents to take care of, and responsibilities to fulfill.”
“Even if we have to die, we will die after our parents, not in such an ambiguous manner. So, my brother will live on, even if he’s crippled or handicapped, even if he’s reduced to a broken body.”
When Tang Yuxin heard him say this, she couldn’t help but recall the Gu Ning from her past life who was always standing on the balcony, yet never jumped. Was it because he treasured life just like this? Because he couldn’t bear to die and couldn’t allow a member of the Gu family to die so uselessly? Because he had unfulfilled responsibilities?
She turned back to glance at Gu Qing. Gu Qing’s body would eventually recover, but the set of injuries that hit him the hardest was to his reproductive abilities. He would never have children in the future. Gu Qing, in his thirties, was still unmarried and had no children. Would he be able to bear such a blow?
“What are you thinking?” Gu Ning turned around and saw Tang Yuxin staring at Gu Qing’s face thoughtfully.
“Uncle Gu, do you know about your brother’s physical condition?” Tang Yuxin asked Gu Ning; he should have known about it since he had signed many documents and forms, including the surgical consent form.
“You mean the fact that my brother can’t reproduce in the future?” Gu Ning raised his hand to comb Tang Yuxin’s hair, removed the hair tie as usual, and retied her hair. Mainly because Tang Yuxin’s hands were still partially numb, she genuinely found it inconvenient to tidy her own hair.
Tang Yuxin nodded. “Can he accept that?”
For a man, especially for men like Gu Qing or Gu Ning, even if they lost a leg, they would not want to lose that ability. Her uncle was like that which was why her aunt had borne the secret of infertility alone, not letting her uncle know until now that he was the one infertile.
Gu Qing could bear that, right? She wouldn’t want to save him after all the trouble only to have him commit suicide in the end, restoring everything the way it was before his rescue.
“Don’t worry, he’s not that fragile,” Gu Ning had always believed in his brother. “He just can’t have children, but he still has his male functions, right?”
“Yes,” Tang Yuyu said with a nod, “it won’t affect their marital life.” If this wasn’t the case, he would be no different than a eunuch, a fate worse than death for a man.
“I’ll just have a few more kids in the future and pass them to my brother.”
When Gu Ning said this so confidently, Tang Yuxin almost choked.
Having more kids sounded easy, but how would it happen?
“Uncle Gu, you don’t even have a significant other yet.”
Tang Yuxin didn’t have the heart to bring up his faults, of course he couldn’t marry that woman. If he dared to marry Zhang Moumei in the future, she would make him give her up no matter the cost. This was Gu Ning’s debt to her, so Zhang Moumei could forget about stepping into the Gu family’s house in this lifetime, let alone harming Gu Ning again.
As for who would be better for Gu Ning, a man as good as him, she wasn’t sure yet, but it definitely couldn’t be Zhang Moumei.
