However, now it seemed that the Village Committee might not have had any intention of reporting the incident. If they had reported it promptly, Chen Si would have been sent to a better-equipped hospital. How could he still be waiting in Willow Village’s clinic?
Thinking of this, Ye Ling furrowed her brows. She took a deep breath and continued to work on Chen Si’s wound slowly.
If she finished the surgery now, Ma Kang would definitely want to talk to her. She really didn’t want to face this selfish village leader.
Ye Ling felt that Ma Kang was similar to Wu Bai, who covered for Wu De. Both of them were officials who didn’t care about the people’s interests and only thought about their own benefits.
Ma Kang stood behind Ye Ling and said a lot of words, but Ye Ling completely ignored him, as if she hadn’t heard a word. Chen Si, lying on the operating table, regarded him with the same disdain one would give to trash.
Xu Lun and the others also didn’t show any agreement with Ma Kang. This made Ma Kang, who was used to hearing compliments and flattery everywhere he went, very uncomfortable.
He furrowed his brow, took a few more steps forward, and stood beside the operating table. “Comrade Ye, do you still not accept my words? Don’t think that just because Min Nan supports you, I won’t dare to punish you. Even if your relationship is not public, I will still act fairly and impartially. I will never condone such callous behavior that disregards human life…”
Ma Kang was in the middle of a passionate speech, spouting words left and right, when suddenly, his voice stopped. His eyes became stiff, his face turned almost as white as Chen Si’s.
Ma Kang saw that Ye Ling was using a surgical needle to suture Chen Sits leg wound. Her hands were covered in fresh blood, and she was pulling and manipulating Chen Si’s flesh and skin with a natural and skilled ease, as if she were a rural woman repairing clothes.
But this wasn’t about fixing clothes. The bloody scene was even more terrifying than seeing a ghost!
At the same time, Ma Kang also saw a stainless steel surgical tray nearby, filled with decaying flesh. The meat had a near-black, dark red color, like rotting meat that had been left on a butcher’s stand for many days.
As he approached, Ma Kang could even faintly smell a foul odor mixed with the strong smell of blood. The stench made him, who had always valued cleanliness and tidiness, feel a strong urge to vomit.
Xu Lun and the nurse saw Ma Kang suddenly turn and rush out of the room. He stood by a trash can in the corridor, bent over, and began to vomit. The agonizing sounds he made were quite pitiful.
Xu Lun finally realized that Ma Kang had been frightened by the scene of Ye Ling performing surgery on Chen Si.
Indeed, for laypeople, the sight of blood and wounds can be nerve-wracking, let alone a bloody surgical scene. Although Xu Lun was a doctor, watching Ye Ling’s red hands moving amidst the blood and flesh made his scalp tingle.
Seeing Ma Kang vomit and then lean against the wall, gasping for breath, Xu Lun felt a sense of disdain in his heart. He thought, “Serves you right; no one forced you to come in!”
Ye Ling had successfully treated the wound, and she breathed a sigh of relief. While she wasn’t entirely confident, the surgery had gone relatively smoothly without any major complications.
However, Ye Ling hesitated for a moment before saying to Chen Si, “You don’t need an amputation, but due to the severity of the injury, even after recovery, you might walk with a slight limp. Be mentally prepared for that.”
Chen Si had originally thought his leg was lost for good, but now, not only had Ye Ling saved his leg, but she had also ensured he could walk normally, with only a slight limp as a minor consequence.
Could there be anyone luckier than him in this world?
Chen Si showed a grateful and cheerful smile, saying, “It’s nothing. I don’t mind at all. Comrade Ye, thank you so much. You’re my savior. If you ever need me to do something, just tell me. Even if you ask me to go through fire and water, I, Chen Si, won’t frown!”
Ye Ling smiled helplessly and replied, “I won’t ask you to go through fire and water for me. Taking care of your own life and health is the best way to repay me.”
After a brief conversation, Ye Ling said, “I’ll have the nurse tidy up here in a bit.
Get some rest. I’ll go talk to Ma Kang.”
Chen Si glanced outside and hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice and saying to Ye Ling, “Comrade Ye, be careful. That guy is not a good person. He wants to use a small amount of compensation to keep us quiet and bury the mine incident..”
