The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 98 - A Step Away from Death

Chapter 98: Chapter 98 A Step Away from Death

“Miss Lin, you must stay strong, close your eyes, and don’t rush to speak, everything will be okay.” The nurse tidied her messy hair.

Lin Qi’s hair was covered in blood and had been soaked by it.

She weakly closed her eyes, her mind hazy, unable to discern where she was or what had happened.

Soon, she fell into a faint again.

Huo Tingdong arrived at the hospital with Han and Momo, the lights in the emergency room still on.

Nurses constantly went in and out, occasionally bringing out blood-stained medical gauze, which was a harrowing sight.

Momo sat for a bit, then stood, pacing back and forth uneasily.

His gaze was calm, unnervingly so. Peers might be clueless, might be scared, but he stayed silent and tearless in his calm, his hands clenched into fists behind his back, trembling violently. His face no longer bore its usual elegance and tenderness.

Compared to him, Han was much calmer, his eyes, so similar to Huo Tingdong’s, hid a wisdom that tucked away any sharpness.

Aunt Qiqi would be fine.

He had taken her pulse, and those few needles had practically pulled her back from the brink of death.

In the orphanage, he had followed an old doctor versed in traditional medicine, soaking up knowledge and often perusing his medical books.

That grandpa was very kind to him, seeing his deep interest in ancient medicine and thus imparted all his knowledge to him generously.

Han had a profound affection for the grandpa.

Even after being taken into the Huo Family by Huo Tingdong, he would visit the grandpa every summer.

The grandpa said he had a gift, but what he was taught were lost medical arts, once the heritage of a hundred-year medical lineage, now considered dross, nearly extinct.

The grandpa had no descendants, so he treated Han as his own, teaching him everything unreservedly.

Huo Tingdong looked at the light of the operating room, then back at Han, feeling that something was amiss.

Song Shuyan had said that Han had stuck needles into Lin Qi haphazardly, imitating martial arts shows on TV.

But Huo Tingdong knew Han well; Aunt Qiqi was his favorite person. He wouldn’t jumble things on purpose when it came to her.

But if it wasn’t a mess, how had he learned those methods?

As time ticked by, Lin Qi was still not out from the operating room, her fate hanging in the balance.

Momo was gradually calming down.

At this moment, no news was the best news.

Han suddenly pulled on his hand, patted the stool beside him, asking him to sit down.

Momo said, “You sit, I won’t.”

Han replied, “It’s okay.”

Momo countered, “How can you be so sure that my Mommy will be all right?”

Han smiled, his eyes as pure and cute as the moon. He didn’t speak, but his tender gaze somewhat soothed Momo’s emotions.

Momo sat down beside him.

Han gently touched the back of his head, but Momo awkwardly dodged, “What are you doing?” He wasn’t his brother, so why was he touching his head like a brother would?

Han suddenly hugged Momo.

Held him tightly…

Momo couldn’t struggle free for a moment.

Han’s hands were soft; he gently enclosed Momo’s small head in his arms, his little face brushed against Momo’s cheek, and Momo’s heart quieted down.

Time flew by.

Unknowingly, it was dawn outside.

The sky was breaking, the glow of the morning light.

Suddenly, the light in the emergency room flickered, then went out.

The door was pushed open from the inside.

Huo Tingdong sprang up and walked to the doorway, grabbing the doctor’s arm, and asked, “How is the patient?”

The doctor recognized him and immediately said, “Mr. Huo, please don’t worry, the patient has initially been brought out of life-threatening danger.”

Huo Tingdong immediately seized on the key point and narrowed his eyes, “Initially?” This meant that it was only a temporary absence of life-threatening danger.

The doctor said, “We plan to transfer Miss Lin to the intensive care unit and observe her for twenty-four hours. If she can wake up during that time, there will basically be no further concerns for her life.”

Huo Tingdong looked at the busy resuscitation room behind the doctor and asked uneasily, “Are her injuries severe?”

The doctor was candid, “Very critical. She was just a step away from death’s door. Her cranial injuries are severe, with extensive bleeding. That she has survived is already a miracle. I’m afraid…”

Huo Tingdong frowned disapprovingly, “Afraid of what?”

The doctor, seeing the sharp, cold look in his eyes, dared not take a deep breath and finished in one go, “I’m afraid she might fall into a deep coma and become vegetative, which would be rather troublesome.”

Vegetative state…

Momo faintly heard this term and his heart skipped a beat.

He knew what a vegetative state was; aside from keeping basic vital signs, it was no different from being a living dead.

Huo Tingdong was even more familiar with the term.

But, even if she really had become vegetative, it was still better than losing her life.

The doctor said, “Mr. Huo, rest assured, we are doing our utmost to treat her.”

Huo Tingdong said, “Thank you for your efforts.”

The doctor hurried away, and shortly after, the nurses pushed out the operating bed.

Momo shot up from his seat and ran over, followed closely by Han.

The two Little Babies were eager to see Lin Qi, but were stopped by a nurse to the side, “Children, please step aside.”

Huo Tingdong watched helplessly as the operating bed was pushed past him; a few nurses worked together to push it, some holding up IV bags high, others steadying the bed. Amidst the bustling crowd, he only caught a glimpse.

Lin Qi was lying on the bed unconscious, her head wrapped in gauze, with blood, not yet wiped clean, dried and mottled on her face and neck.

Her hands and body were wrapped in all kinds of tubes; an oxygen mask covered most of her face. Her entire face looked so weak it was devoid of color.

For a moment, he felt as if his heart had been viciously stabbed.

He thought he was hard-hearted enough that even if something bad truly happened to her, he wouldn’t be moved. But as he watched Lin Qi being pushed past and towards the distance, he still couldn’t help but clench his fists involuntarily.

A strange emotion nearly filled his entire chest.

Was it heartache?

Or was it the suffocating fear of loss?

An illusion.

It could only be… pity, perhaps!

With eyes reddened, Momo stood in place, tears swirling in his eyes but he stubbornly held them back.

Huo Tingdong said, “The doctor said your Mommy was rescued in time, and for now, her life isn’t in danger.”

After hearing this, Momo’s clenched fist gradually relaxed a bit.

He looked towards Han.

Could it really be Han who saved Mommy?

How could that be? Was this silly kid’s few injections really more effective than the hospital doctors?

Han sensed Momo’s gaze fixed on the back of his head, turned around, and met Momo’s eyes, blinking in confusion.

Momo asked, “Was it you?”

Han tilted his little head as if he didn’t understand what Momo was asking.

Momo immediately shook his head, “It’s nothing…” Had he gone silly too, to actually believe this silly kid saved Mommy?
