Chapter 60: Who can make up for the corner of the heartache?
The car drove in silence for another ten minutes before finally coming to a stop on the side of a quiet and remote road. Xiao Yu jumped out of the car with Su Qing in his arms, and when he looked up, he noticed an inconspicuous private clinic in front of him.
Huang Qiuhai also got out of the car and was about to knock on the door when the door of the clinic was opened, and a middle-aged man with glasses and politeness walked out. Huang Qiuhai seemed to be very familiar with the man, and he didn't have too much politeness, but just arched his hand to the man and said, "Henry, I'll leave this matter to you." β
The man known as Henry waved his hand and said, "Brother Hai, don't be polite to me. I just received your call and I have made some preliminary preparations, and now I will be able to perform the operation immediately, so you can quickly bring the injured person in. β
Xiao Yu carried Su Qing into the clinic, and Huang Qiuhai ordered everyone else to stay outside the clinic, so he and Huang Ziqi followed in.
The clinic is small and is divided into two rooms, with the outer room being an information desk for daily patient visits. In the middle is a small operating room, which is very complete with surgical tools and medical equipment, and a female nurse is skillfully sterilizing surgical equipment. Henry asked Xiao Yu to put Su Qingping on the operating table, and then motioned for everyone else to leave.
Huang Qiuhai pulled Xiao Yu, who was standing in place at a loss, out of the operating room, went to the outer room, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xiao, please rest assured, Dr. Henry's medical skills are excellent, and he should be able to keep Miss Su safe." β
Xiao Yu's attention was on Su Qing at this time, and he didn't hear Huang Qiuhai's words, he just muttered to himself in annoyance: "It's all my fault, I still underestimated the power of the pistol to put Su Qing in such a dangerous situation." Su Qing was injured in order to block the gun for me, if she really has anything to do, I can't forgive myself for the rest of my life!"
Huang Ziqi on the side also comforted: "Master, don't look at the faΓ§ade of this clinic, but I have heard the name of Dr. Henry on Hong Kong Island, he is a very famous surgeon, this kind of gunshot wound is just a piece of cake for him." β
"I hope so. Xiao Yu only reacted at this time, and was pressed down by Huang Qiuhai and Huang Ziqiqiang, waiting patiently outside.
"By the way, how did Brother Huang know Dr. Henry? Why didn't he work in a big hospital for such a famous doctor?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.
Huang Qiuhai took out a few cups from the cabinet outside, poured a cup of tea for a few people, and told the story of Henry leisurely.
Henry is a Singaporean Chinese who was the head of surgery at a very prestigious hospital in Singapore a few years ago. Once, a local gang boss was seriously injured in a gang fight and was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment, and it was Dr. Henry who was in charge of the rescue at that time.
But because the gang boss was too seriously injured, and when he was sent over, he had already bled too much and was unconscious, and after a whole day of rescue, he still had no way to recover.
The family of the gang boss didn't know where to get the news, saying that Henry had treated his opponent before, and the two also had some friendship in private, so not only did they not thank Dr. Henry for his best efforts to rescue, but also poured all their anger on Henry, thinking that he must have been bribed by the opponent, so he deliberately did not try his best to rescue, resulting in the death of the boss. Later, the son of the gang boss even ordered his men to hunt down Henry, but fortunately, Henry was vigilant after receiving the news, and several times he escaped death.
In those years, the focus of the Huang family's business shifted from Hong Kong Island to Singapore, and the Huang family's head family, Huang Sanzhen and his wife, also settled in Singapore. Therefore, although Huang Qiuhai had already come to Ao Island at that time to be in charge of the family's business on Ao Island, he had to often go back to the head office in Singapore for meetings.
Once when he was in Singapore, he happened to encounter Henry being chased and killed, Huang Qiuhai rescued him out of chivalry, and secretly took him to Ao Island, opened this small clinic and settled down temporarily.
The Huang family's influence on Ao Island was not big at that time, and they usually intersected with some local gangsters for business, and sometimes participated in some underworld fights. In the past few years, Huang Qiuhai's brothers have been injured, and they are basically sent to Henry for treatment. And Henry lives here, with Huang Jiajiao watching, and no one comes to trouble him anymore.
"I see, I only knew that Dr. Henry was a good doctor, but I didn't know that there were so many insiders behind it. Huang Ziqi sighed.
"Well, no wonder Brother Huang said just now that he had a lifelong friendship. Xiao Yu said, "If he can cure Su Qing, I really don't know how to thank him." β
"You don't have to thank him deliberately, ordinary possessions are no longer attractive to him. Huang Qiuhai said, "In fact, with Henry's prestige and level in the medical field, many large hospitals on Ao Island have invited him, but he seems to have looked down on fame and fortune, and would rather live a peaceful life in this small clinic." β
Several people were talking, and after some time, the door to the operating room opened, and Henry took off his mask and gloves and walked out.
"Doctor Henry, how is my friend?" Xiao Yu greeted him and asked anxiously.
"Mr. Xiao, I have taken out the bullet, and her life is not in danger for the time being. Henry said, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, which showed that the operation had consumed a lot of his mind, "but ......"
"Hmm, is there any more questions?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but sink in his heart when he saw Henry's way of wanting to speak and stopping.
Henry looked at Huang Qiuhai next to him and didn't know how to speak.
"Henry, Mr. Xiao is a good friend of mine, and he can absolutely trust him. You don't have any psychological burden, just say what you have to say. Huang Qiuhai said.
"Then I'll tell you the truth. Henry took a deep breath and said, "Although the bullet didn't hit the fatal place, it hurt the heart. β
"Hurt your heart?"
"Yes, although through surgery and Western medical treatment, Miss Su's gunshot wound will recover quickly. But because she hurt her heart, I'm afraid there will be some sequelae in the future. Henry said helplessly.
"What kind of sequelae will there be?" Xiao Yu asked eagerly.
"Everyone's physique is different, and it's hard to say what the consequences will be. But it is very likely that her body will become very weak from now on, and even her lifespan will be shorter than that of ordinary people. β
Xiao Yu stood on the spot, Huang Qiuhai and Huang Ziqi didn't expect this to happen, and they didn't know what to say. The entire clinic fell into a deathly silence.
It was Huang Qiuhai who broke the silence: "Is there a way to completely cure her heart? If the conditions in the clinic do not allow it, we can find a way to send her to the best hospital on the island and even in the world for treatment." β
Henry pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It's not a matter of medical conditions. I have encountered similar cases in the past, and I have brought together the most authoritative experts in the world for consultation, but in the end, there is still no good solution. Perhaps the theories of Western medicine do not have a good solution to this kind of problem. β
"Is there nothing that can be done at all?" asked Huang Ziqi.
"If there is a way, I suggest that you can try the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. Henry said.
"Traditional Chinese medicine?" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up.
Henry nodded: "Many years ago, when I was still studying for my medical doctorate, I once attended a worldwide medical conference with my mentor. At the conference, I came into contact with a miraculous holy hand of Chinese medicine and saw the miraculous curative effect of Chinese medicine in the treatment of some incurable diseases. It was then that I abandoned the prejudice against TCM in the Western tradition. Later, I also studied Chinese medicine for a period of time out of interest, and found that the treatment theory of Chinese medicine is completely different from Western medicine, but in some aspects, it can often achieve unimaginable effects of Western medicine, and some phenomena cannot even be explained by the scientific theory of Western medicine. Therefore, if you can find an excellent TCM expert, maybe Miss Su's injuries can be completely healed. β
"Can you tell me what is the name of the holy hand of Chinese medicine you met back then? I can try to ask him for help. Xiao Yu hurriedly asked.
"I only know that the man's surname is Hua, and it is said that he is a descendant of Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty. But when I met him, he was already 100 years old, and now nearly 20 years have passed, and I don't know if he is still alive. Moreover, it is said that he had no fixed residence, and when he appeared, it was very abrupt, and no one knew where he went after he disappeared. So if you want to find him, I'm afraid it's not that easy. Henry remembered those magical memories of those years, and couldn't help but sigh a little.
"No matter where the world is, I'll find him. Xiao Yu clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind.
"Mr. Xiao doesn't have to worry too much, as long as he usually takes care of himself, at least in a few years, Miss Su's body will not have much problem. Henry spoke comfortingly.
"Thank you so much. Xiao Yu held Henry's hand and said, "Can I go in and see her?"
"Yes, but she's asleep now, so you'd better keep it quiet and let her get some rest. β
β¦β¦
Xiao Yu walked into the operating room and saw that Su Qing had been moved to a hospital bed, her eyes closed and her face pale.
Xiao Yu sat down on the edge of the bed, gently held Su Qing's little hand, only felt that the little hand was cold, and couldn't help but feel a faint pain in her heart, and secretly thought: "I originally met Su Qing in Pingshui, but she not only gave herself a place to live, but also helped herself integrate into this society." If it weren't for meeting her, how could he have survived in modern society so easily? And this time, Su Qing even fought hard to block the bullet for herself, and even fell ill because of it. How can this friendship be repaid?"
Su Qing lay quietly, breathing very steadily in her sleep, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. Although her face was very pale, it could not hide her beauty in the slightest. Xiao Yu looked at Su Qing stupidly, and couldn't help but be stunned.
After a short period of distraction, Xiao Yu's killer instinct made him regain his mind, secretly made up his mind, and whispered to the sleeping Su Qing: "Su Qing, don't worry, I won't put you in danger in the future." As for those who secretly want to hurt us, I will definitely make them pay!"
