I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 389 To save his life now, amputation is the only option...

Soon, the ambulance arrived and took Yu Lingxue's mother to the hospital in Dongzhu City where Yu Lingxue lived...

Yu Lingxue and Lao Li could only wait anxiously outside the operating room, pacing back and forth, silently praying hundreds of times...

Yu Lingxue's mind was in complete turmoil; she was worried about her mother's situation.

I'm also troubled about the promise I made to my father...

There was no other way; I was so desperate to save my mother that I couldn't think about anything else, and I didn't care about myself at all...

Old Li was now in a state of utter despair, sitting there motionless, his mind scattered. He was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and any further bad news could easily shatter his spirit and body...

"Click——"

Just then, the operating room door suddenly opened, and that single sound made both of them tremble.

My heart started racing uncontrollably; I was terrified...

They saw the surgeon emerge, looking worried, and remove his mask as he looked at them.

"How is she, doctor! Is my wife alright?"

Old Li used the last of his strength to stand up and anxiously asked the doctor,

Yu Lingxue didn't go over; she just stood there, because she no longer had the courage to go over. Her legs were too weak...

The doctor sighed and said:

"Sigh... We've found the source of the infection, on the calf, but the bad news is, it's beyond treatment. The cells are completely dead. If we want to save his life, we have to amputate..."

"Amputation... amputation..."

Old Li's body stiffened instantly, and he uncontrollably took two steps back, almost falling over...

Amputation means becoming disabled, right? Losing a leg, not being able to walk normally, and not being able to take care of yourself...

Yu Lingxue took a deep breath, not showing too much despair, and stepped forward, saying:

"Okay, doctor, please perform the surgery as soon as possible. You must save my mother's life!"

"Don't worry about that. Once the surgery is done and everything is handled properly, there won't be any danger to his life."

The doctor nodded, turned and went back into the operating room, where the lights came on...

Old Li turned his head to look at Yu Lingxue, his face filled with despair and weariness, as if it had aged him decades...

His hair turned so white overnight, his head was almost completely silver-white...

Yu Lingxue looked at Old Li and said calmly, "Uncle Li, amputation is fine, but we must save my mother's life. Even if she has to have an amputation, she can get a prosthesis later. Even if she can't, I will take care of my mother for the rest of my life, so please don't worry."

Old Li knew Yu Lingxue was right; amputation was far better than death. Losing a leg was just one thing; without amputation, it was certain death...

Upon learning that her mother would be out of danger after the surgery, Yu Lingxue was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, she had been on edge the whole time, barely daring to breathe...

Time passed slowly, and Old Li gradually recovered. He was now pale and his eyes were bloodshot.

Yu Lingxue told him to go and rest for a while, that she could manage on her own.

But Old Li refused; he couldn't sleep at all until he knew his wife was alright...

"Om-"

At that moment, Yu Lingxue also received a phone call from Yin Mengran...

"Hello... Ranran..."

"How are you? Is Auntie alright?"

"Yes, it's okay. He's having surgery right now, and he'll be out of danger after the surgery. I'm sorry to have worried you."

"【It's alright, it's alright, that's good. Don't rush back, take good care of Auntie. Do you need any help?】"

"No, no, no, I can handle it all, you don't need to bother... Well... I'll take a few more days off for now. Please be careful and take good care of yourself..."

"Oh, don't worry about me. Taking care of Auntie is the most important thing. Call me if anything happens. Don't be afraid to bother me or keep it from me, okay?"

"I know...I...I've already taken care of it."

Yu Lingxue forced a smile and nodded, though Yin Mengran couldn't see it at all.

After hanging up the phone...

Yu Lingxue suddenly felt a darkness before her eyes and felt dizzy!

My body staggered, and I was about to fall...

"Hey! Xiaoxue! What's wrong?!"

When Old Li saw Yu Lingxue like this, he immediately stood up and ran over.

Fortunately, Yu Lingxue managed to grab onto the railing before fainting, preventing her from falling...

"fine..."

Yu Lingxue waved her hand, forcing herself to sit down on a chair nearby...

"I think I have... low blood sugar. It's okay, don't worry, it'll be fine after a while..."

Her head was bowed, her eyes were swollen shut, and her mind was spinning, starting to feel numb...

It was already afternoon. She hadn't eaten all day and had been on edge the whole time.

There are so many worries, and I've sacrificed myself for them...

She felt extremely tired, mentally overloaded, and on the verge of fainting...

Seeing Yu Lingxue like this, Old Li felt a pang of sympathy and said, "Xiaoxue, go back and rest. I'll wait here."

He felt utterly useless; a grown man, yet he needed a child to help him, running errands for him...

I'm nowhere near as wealthy as that other person's father.

He felt so guilty that he never considered himself Yu Lingxue's stepfather, because he felt he wasn't qualified to be her father...

"It's alright, Uncle Li... I'll be fine in a bit, really."

Yu Lingxue rubbed her forehead and waved her hand; she felt a throbbing pain in her temples...

About an hour later, the operating room lights suddenly went out...

Yu Lingxue looked up, her pupils dilated upon seeing it, and, holding onto the railing, slowly stood up and walked towards the operating room.

Old Li had been waiting there for a while, and he was extremely anxious...

The operating room door opened, and the doctor emerged, his clothes, gloves, and mask covered in congealed blood...

"Doctor! How is my mother?"

"It's alright now, there's no danger to your life anymore, but your body needs to recover slowly. Let's go and get admitted to the hospital; you'll need to stay for at least six months."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

Hearing that her mother was alright, Yu Lingxue finally felt a huge weight lifted from her shoulders, and her spirits lifted a little...
