Saint Ruan saw Su Hanâs swollen belly, which had turned deep red, and his brows slightly furrowed. âIf we donât act now, it will be too late.â
Su Yingxueâs forehead perspired slightly. âSaint Ruan, prepare a bowl of anesthetic. Once my sister wakes up, administer it immediately. Well start the surgery right away.â
âAlright.â
Saint Ruan nodded. It was the only solution.
During the surgery, Su Han would surely wake up due to the pain. At that point, they would administer the anesthetic. When the medicine took effect, Su Han would feel the pain of her abdomen being cut open and the extraction of the bugs for at least fifteen minutes. However, it was an unavoidable circumstance.
In Su Yingxueâs medicinal hut, lights were placed at a distance to prevent wax from getting stained with ash. Around the operating table, she hung over a dozen luminous pearls. The luminous pearls radiated brilliance, complementing each other and illuminating the entire medicinal hut as if it were daylight.
Su Yingxue meticulously opened Su Hanâs abdominal cavity. The situation inside her abdomen was not favorable. Su Yingxue carefully removed one bug, but these wild-grown parasites had slippery bodies with a thorn at the end. When Su Yingxue extracted one, the thorn hooked onto the flesh inside Su Han.
Su Yingxue inwardly exclaimed in dismay.
Sweat appeared on her forehead, and Saint Ruan quickly wiped it with a handkerchief, softly advising, âDonât be afraid. Use scissors to cut it off, then clean the tail.â
Su Yingxue nodded. Under Saint Ruanâs guidance, she dealt with one bug.
Just as she was about to continue with the operation, Su Hanâs body suddenly moved. âIt hurtsâ¦â
Her pale, translucent face expressed pain. âMy stomach⦠it hurts.â
âSister, donât move!â Su Yingxue hastily cautioned.
She halted the surgery and instructed Saint Ruan to bring the anesthetic. âSister, the surgery has already begun. 1 know youâre in pain, but 1 must remove all the bugs from your stomach. Otherwise, your life will be in danger.â
Su Han, who had been pampered since childhood, couldnât endure such pain. Tears had already blurred her vision. âYingxue, has my stomach been cut open?â
Su Yingxue nodded solemnly. âYes, sister. Donât worry. Iâll save your life. Nothing will happen to you.â
Su Han believed her, but the pain was truly tormenting.
Saint Ruan handed the medicine to her mouth. âQuickly drink this anesthetic. When the medicine takes effect, the pain will subside. Endure it for now!â
To save her life, it was an inevitable circumstance.
Su Han opened her mouth, but before she could drink the medicine, a commotion erupted outside.
âSu Yingxue, without my permission, you are not allowed to perform surgery on Su Han! She is my woman. Even if she dies, I should decide!â
Su Hanâs heart trembled.
Outside the door, Chu Xiaotian had mobilized his troops and the mansionâs soldiers, breaking into the Marquisâs Manor.
Su Dingwei hastily summoned the guards of the Marquisâs Manor. He stood in front of the medicinal hut, pointing at Chu Xiaotian. âShut up! Considering youâre Your Highness, I wonât argue with you. But Hanâer is undergoing surgery inside, and her life is hanging by a thread. I wonât allow you to go in and interrupt her!â
âFather-in-law, 1 spared you because I gave you face, but now Iâm taking Su Han away to make her kowtow and apologize to my mother!â
Chu Xiaotian glared, his handsome face cold and emotionless.
âWhat did my daughter do wrong? Why should she kowtow and apologize to your mother?â Qin Wan scolded with tears in her eyes..
