Chapter 99: Going Back to the Moment She Died

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

No longer wasting time, Tang Xi pushed open the door of the operating room and went in.

She already felt that her time was running out, so she had to end the operation in the shortest possible time.

The light outside the operating room came on, and the two brothers sat in the corridor and continued to gaze at that light, suffering from the long waiting. For the first time, they felt that time was passing so slowly. They felt as if they had been waiting for a long time, but would find that only five minutes had passed upon looking at their watches.

As the day grew dark, the light outside the operating room finally went out; the door of the operating room was opened and several doctors walked out smiling. Tang Xi was surrounded by them. Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa exchanged a glance with each other, knowing that the operation was a success.

The two brothers walked up to them. Tang Xi took a look at the two brothers in front of her before turning to the doctors and nurses, saying, “Thank you for your cooperation. I want to talk with Mr. Xiao Jing and Mr. Xiao Sa alone. Let’s talk another day.”

Hearing this, Xiao Sa knew that Tang Xi didn’t want those people to know her identity, so he immediately said, “Don’t tell anyone what happened today. You can leave now.”

“Understood,” replied one of the senior surgeons. “Then, Doctor Tang, let us discuss medical knowledge some other time. Although this operation only lasted an hour or so, it was a very difficult one which you put all your energy into; you must be tired. We’re leaving now. Take a good rest.”

Tang Xi responded with a smile and a nod. After the doctors left, Tang Xi took off the mask on her face and smiled at Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa, saying softly, “Sa, Jing, Yao is alright.” With that, she fell limp to the ground before Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing could manage to hold her up.

Xiao Sa shouted, “Come on, let’s send her to the emergency room!”

Xiao Jing said seriously, “Take off Rourou’s clothes first.”

Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing quickly took off her surgical gown and cap only to find her face was ghastly pale. Xiao Sa was so worried that his eyes turned red. “Rourou will be fine, right?”

One of them picked up the surgical gown on the ground, while the other hurriedly carried Tang Xi to the emergency room, even ignoring Xiao Yao who had just been wheeled out of the operating room by a nurse.

Seeing Xiao Jing bringing over a girl covered in blood, a surgeon who had just returned from the operating room to the emergency room whined in his heart: what’s wrong with these people!? One was covered in gunshot wounds and almost died, and here came another one who was covered in blood...

Did they just come back from a battlefield?

However, he dared not to say anything but instead hurried to ask Xiao Jing to put the girl on the hospital bed. He examined Tang Xi only to find there wasn’t any wound on her, so he frowned and said, “This patient doesn’t seem to be injured.”

Xiao Jing shouted, “What’s on her body is just red paint! Come on, check why she’s in a coma!!”

The corner of the surgeon’s eyes twitched. This is obviously human blood. How can you say it’s red paint? Mr. Xiao, you’re just talking through your hat! But since he said it was red paint, then it was red paint. He was just a doctor, not a detective...

Anyway, there was no homicide in City A today, right?

Complaining in his heart, the surgeon took a stethoscope and carefully examined Tang Xi. He was momentarily stunned by her beauty upon seeing her face, before he then continued to examine her. It was a while before he said with a frown, “This patient’s body has been hollowed out.”

Xiao Sa had come late. Hearing this, he frowned and stared coldly at the surgeon as he asked, “What do you mean?”

The surgeon frowned. To be honest, he could not explain it, but what he could say was... “There is nothing in the patient’s body... Of course, I don’t mean her internal organs are gone, but that the strength in her body is being drained by something, or to be exact, her body is failing at a tremendous rate. Do you understand?”

Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing were shocked. Rourou did tell them that she was a fairy, but they had never believed her. If Rourou was a fairy, how could she have been bullied so terribly by Xiao Jinning? Today, they witnessed her ability with their own eyes, and they finally believed that she was a fairy... Did Rourou become like this because her power was exhausted?

“What can I do to save her?” Xiao Jing asked in a cold voice.

Xiao Sa said, “Try every possible means! You must save her! Whatever it takes!”

They would feel guilt if Rourou were to die like this, and Yao would definitely kill himself even though Rourou had tried so hard to save him. They didn’t want to lose two family members at once!

Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa thought of their parents at the same time. If Mom and Dad found out that Rourou was in a coma as a result of saving Yao, they would feel so much guilt.

“I can only give her an infusion, but nothing else.” The only thing he could do now was to give this girl a glucose infusion because she wasn’t injured at all...

“Do something to prevent her organs from failing!” Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing shouted at the same time.

The surgeon shook his head. “She doesn’t have organ failure. I don’t know how to explain it to you. The only thing you can do now is to wait, okay?”

“Get me a senior surgeon!” Xiao Jing shouted. What kind of irresponsible doctor was this? He was telling them that their sister’s body was failing at a very rapid rate, yet he couldn’t do anything to stop it...

The surgeon frowned and told a nurse to call a senior surgeon. After being summoned over, the head surgeon gave Tang Xi a thorough examination and then shook his head, saying, “This patient is not brain dead, but I can’t guarantee that she will wake up. She is so weak that it is a miracle that she is still alive.”

“Of course I know it’s a miracle!” Unable to vent, Xiao Sa could only ask them to prepare a ward.

The ward was right next to Xiao Yao’s. The two brothers, one guarding Tang Xi and the other Xiao Yao, felt so guilty that they couldn’t help Yao when he was in danger and still couldn’t do anything when Rourou was in a coma. Why were they so useless?

Tang Xi fell into a deep darkness, feeling as if she were ever sinking. She suddenly opened her eyes, only to find herself in the sea. She saw a plane falling from the sky and exploding the moment it touched the water. She saw herself blown into pieces except for a hand, a hand which was eaten by a piranha, only leaving the little finger. She screamed hysterically...

How could that be! Why was she here? Hadn’t she become Xiao Rou? Why was she seeing the moment when she died! Was she really dead???
