Chapter 266: Emergency Surgery
Something had clearly happened to the boy, and it seemed the children had met the same fate.
Yao Ran looked at the ruins thoughtfully for a moment before she approached the charred remains of the building and began searching for clues.
She searched through the debris for half an hour but found nothing. Just as she decided to leave and inform Long Yu and the others, something caught her eye.
Yao Ran quickly squatted down and began moving debris aside. After two minutes of effort, she uncovered a child lying motionless, covered in dust and ash.
Without hesitation, she reached out and checked his pulse. Sensing the faint pulse, she immediately took out a cup of diluted lake water and carefully fed it to the child. Afterward, she carried him, and Yao Ran left the villa without delay.
Back at the villa, Yao Ran hurriedly carried the injured child to an empty bedroom on the third floor. Seeing her rush upstairs, Mother Han grew worried and followed her.
Yao Ran pushed the door open with her shoulder and gently placed the child on the bed. As she began inspecting his injuries, Mother Han entered the room.
Seeing the little boy lying unconscious, covered in dried blood and dust, Mother Han gasped in surprise and asked, "Miss Yao, what happened to this child?"
Yao Ran didn't answer her and asked back, "Auntie Han, could you get my medicine box from my bedroom?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
From the boy's appearance, Mother Han could tell his condition was critical. Without hesitation, she nodded and replied, "I will get it right away."
After Mother Han left, Yao Ran took out another cup of diluted lake water and carefully fed it to the child, hoping to stabilize his condition.
Although the diluted lake water had a weaker healing effect, Yao Ran worried the boy might not be able to withstand the potency of the undiluted version, so she could only give him the diluted version.
While the others transported the supplies to the underground storage room in the backyard, Long Yu entered the villa.
Noticing it was unusually quiet, he raised an eyebrow and headed upstairs, calling out, "Ran Ran?"
On the third floor, Mother Han heard him and stepped to the railing. She looked at him and said, "Captain, Miss Yao is performing surgery at this moment."
Long Yu's expression changed instantly when he heard this. He quickly went upstairs and asked, "What happened?"
Mother Han shook her head, visibly anxious, and said, "I don't know the full details. Miss Yao went out for about an hour this morning and returned with an injured child. The boy was in terrible condition, and Miss Yao has been in surgery ever since, trying to save him."
Listening to Mother Han's explanation, Long Yu had a suspicion forming in his mind.
He glanced at the room with the closed door and said, "I will stay here and keep watch. Auntie Han, you can go back and prepare lunch."
Mother Han, unable to assist further, nodded, "Alright. Call me if you need anything. I will be downstairs."
Long Yu acknowledged her with a nod, and Mother Han left to prepare lunch for everyone. Inside the room, Yao Ran was doing everything in her power to pull the boy back from the brink of death.
Three hours later, she finally completed the surgery. After cleaning up and feeding the boy half a cup of diluted lake water, Yao Ran went into her space to take a bath and wash the blood
from her body.
When she left her space and opened the door, Long Yu immediately approached her and hugged her tightly. After a moment, he stepped back and inspected her from head to toe to ensure she was unharmed.
Seeing that she was all right, he asked, "Auntie Han said you brought back an injured boy. Is he one of the children protected by the boy with fire element ability?"
