CHAPTER 361: CHAPTER 362: SO IT WAS HER (3)

Suturing work sounds easy, but it is actually something that tests endurance and energy.

Since Zhou Jiangzhi’s flesh was almost completely turned out, with bones even exposed in some places, the suturing process demanded utmost care.

Gu Nianyang meticulously joined each piece of shattered flesh with needle and thread, taking care not to infect the blood tissue, or else all previous efforts would be wasted.

This suturing by Nianyang lasted a full six hours, during which she nearly fainted several times, sustained solely by her strong willpower.

Little did she know that while she was performing the surgery, those waiting outside were also enduring their own torment.

Everyone eagerly hoped that Nianyang could save Zhou Jiangzhi’s hand, their eyes unblinkingly fixed on the operating room.

They thought she would come out in just a few hours at most, but they ended up waiting till nightfall.

"How is it that so many hours have passed, and the surgery inside isn’t finished yet?"

"Isn’t this taking too long? It’s just a repair surgery, after all."

"Even if it were an amputation, she should be out by now, right? Isn’t anything wrong in there?"

The nurses, exhausted from the wait, couldn’t help but let their minds wander, and some were so worried they suggested going in to check.

Li Tingyan wouldn’t let them interfere with his wife’s surgery. Standing guard at the operating room door like a sentinel, he allowed no one inside. Seeing the cold, steely look on the face of the Cold Yama, everyone was too frightened to speak.

Lu Chi felt uncomfortable seeing Li Tingyan so tense. Why did this Cold Yama seem to have an unusual relationship with Gu Nianyang?

If Gu Nianyang was not someone from his past, it would be fine. But if she was, then hopefully it’s not what he’s thinking...

Inside the operating room, when the suturing was finally completed, the entire night had passed. Nianyang’s hands were so sore she could barely move them, and her knuckles were stiff.

[Master, the operation was very successful, but I have unfortunate news for you. Due to your excessive overuse of Spiritual Energy, added with a previous overuse, you will enter a Weakness Period for a week.]

Nianyang slowly straightened her body, a smile appeared on her face exhausted to the point of collapse. Even though she was worn out and physically overdrawn, she felt it was worth it because she saved a stalwart man.

It didn’t matter if she incurred some loss. In the future, this man will create more valuable contributions in a more outstanding manner. It’s worth it!

When the operating room doors opened, everyone was revitalized. They had waited all night, tired, anxious, and sleepy. If Nianyang hadn’t come out, they would have suspected she had fallen asleep inside.

Li Tingyan rushed in at the first sound, immediately reaching out to support Nianyang’s weary form as she emerged.

"How are you, Nini? Are you alright?" Li Tingyan’s eyes were filled with concern. His wife had just done surgery for over ten hours, and he was beyond worried, far too concerned to even think about the outcome of the surgery.

Because in Li Tingyan’s heart, nothing is more important than his dear wife.

"Tingyan, the surgery was successful." After over ten hours without water, Nianyang’s dry lips curled into a tender smile.

The whole room erupted instantly; they heard what Nianyang said, that the surgery was successful. Could it really be the success they imagined? Did Zhou Jiangzhi’s hand truly get saved?
