Surgical Fate

Two more days passed.

Six in the morning in Los Angeles.

Zhuang Shu was awakened by the ringing of the mobile phone, fell asleep with sleepy eyes, touched the bedside table, squinted his eyes for a while, and got up, "Min Yin?" It has been almost a month since he left China, and An Min seldom calls himself at this time.

"I, can't sleep." An Min's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Zhuang Shu touched his face to let his mind recover a little bit, "You promised me to have a good rest." Now Jialin is about nine o'clock in the evening, "What's wrong?"

"No, I just want to hear your voice." An Min's answer seemed capricious, "Can't I hear it?"

Zhuang Shu got up, "No, of course you can call me."

"Baby is fine." An Min's voice sounded a little tired, "I just want to know how is Dad's depression?"

"What about mother's fear of marriage?" Zhuang Shu's mind recovered from sleep.

"Did Auntie Baby contact you? Did Dad cry? Dad Zhuang likes to cry the most." An Min mocked him "Baby can't learn from Dad."

Zhuang Shu's voice of laughing came from the phone, and then he took a deep breath, "I still have to be strong like my mother to face everything. I miss you."

An Min stood in front of the office window, and there was still noise outside in the dark night, "You believe in my strength, right?"

"Yes, I believe, and I don't deny how hurtful this kind of strength is." Zhuang Shu really couldn't accept her silence at that time.

An Min smirked twice, "I'm sorry for my silence."

"It's not silence, it's indifference." Zhuang Shu mentioned, "It's not being needed and not being trusted. This is what hurts the most! Your persistence is longer and more determined than mine. I don't believe in the so-called exchange of interests. You are just Doing the right thing with the most impure means, proposing an exchange is just to let Xiu Minqi relax his vigilance, thinking that his persistence has worked, you no longer pursue the past and want actual benefits, and then you almost To expose his hypocrisy in front of the whole hospital, right?"

"So your non-return is punishment?" An Min snorted, "If you dare to say yes, the baby's surname is Fu!" The dazzling light outside the window came on, and she dodged subconsciously.

Zhuang Shu pursed his lips, "Then what's your answer?" He chuckled at her anger, "A one-carat ring, you must have something to tell me."

"The ring is so beautiful." An Min joked, "Thank you, Dad Zhuang, I like it very much."

Zhuang Shu couldn't help being angry when he heard this, but he was far away from the Pacific Ocean, and she didn't feel scared when he was angry. "Okay, you want to be a vegetarian for the rest of your life..."

"Zhuang Shu, the E.coli mutant subtype infected by Lin Hao has broken out. There are now 25 suspected cases in the hospital, [-] confirmed cases, and five deaths. The first death case is Li Hongjie's patient." An Min suddenly interrupted him, "Hongjie is infected, I'm sorry, everyone has no plans to leave, and I can't run away at this time."

Zhuang Shu stood up while holding the phone.

"I love you, Zhuang Shu." An Min smiled and looked at his unclear self in the window glass, "Goodbye." He hung up the ongoing call, put down his phone, and walked out of the office.

Everyone is at the door.

Lu Chenxi took a step forward, "An Min." No one will blame you if you choose to leave at this time.

Fu Anmin held her head high, "Disinfect, change clothes, and prepare for surgery!" She adjusted the treatment plan and decided to perform surgery on Li Hongjie's empyema due to infection first.

"You're crazy! Not for yourself, what about the child?" Lu Chenxi stopped her, "I don't believe that Zhuang Shu will agree with you..."

"I, Fu Anmin, am still a doctor at Renhe Thoracic Surgery!" Anmin said with firm eyes and a loud voice.

Outside the Renhe Hospital building.

"Report, all staff are in place, the blockade and isolation have been completed!"

"From now on, no one can enter or leave this hospital without authorization!"

……

Los Angeles, in an hour.

Zhuang Shu looked at the new email he sent: Highly contagious acute pneumonia broke out in Jialin City, China. As of yesterday, nearly 25 suspected cases were found in Jialin City and were isolated and treated. Among them, [-] people were in critical condition and five people died. The Planning Commission attached great importance to this, and took measures to blockade and isolate Renhe Hospital, the first hospital.The latest statement stated that the outbreak was related to the mutation of E. Coli drug-resistant strains.

Zhuang Shu’s adoptive father turned on the TV and switched to the domestic news. At this time, there was the evening news. The TV was sailing to announce to the media that 25 cases were diagnosed, [-] cases were confirmed, and [-] people died. He also explained that it was indeed a drug-resistant strain of E.Coli. Infection with mutant strains, but there is no drug sensitive to it yet, so the treatment can only be based on empirical treatment "Is this the strain you sent to Beijing? It may mutate from a susceptible group of severe patients to one that can infect ordinary people. Human strains?"

Zhuang Shu is booking a plane ticket to China online. Fortunately, his work visa to China is still valid. No breaks." She must now be looking for ways to control and correct the infection.

Zhuang Shu's adoptive father glanced at him, "It seems that I have to do the work of pruning the garden myself, and remember to bring my daughter-in-law back this time for me to meet."

Zhuang Shu turned his head, "Okay."

Zhuang Shu's adoptive father left to prepare breakfast.

The video of Yang Fan being interviewed was also playing on the TV, "...Bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test will take 5 to 10 days at the fastest..."

……

Two days later.

"Dr. Liao, although we have adjusted the treatment plan here, the patients' septic shock and respiratory distress have decreased, but the severe pneumonia situation has not improved; what I want to ask is whether the microbiome has proposed combined antibiotics?" An Min was busy I took the time to contact the Beijing Department of Disease Control. Although the treatment plan has been adjusted, the situation has not improved much. The fact that there is no danger to life does not mean that the situation will not change.

"There is no final result from the microbiome, please give us some more time." The other end of the phone is also anxious, "Please monitor the patient's condition closely, and contact us in time if there is any new situation."

"Okay, I see." Although she was anxious, she was still calm.

"Director, Yang Yu is coughing up blood." Bai Xuelai told her, "The ventilator has been pushed over." Because the treatment plan proposed by Fu Anmin seems to be the most effective so far.

The confirmed patients are all in separate isolation areas.

An Min stabilized Yang Yu's situation, and looked at Chen Shaocong who was also wearing isolation clothes beside him, while the medical staff beside him were sending away a patient who had just left.

They did everything they could before combined antibiotics.

Someone came over and asked An Min to go see the other person immediately.

An Min nodded, followed the nurse to leave, opened the isolation curtain and went to the other side. At this moment, she felt a slight pain in her abdomen, so she stopped, and pressed her hands on her slightly swollen abdomen: Baby, it's okay, Mom is here, and your dad will be here soon.

Someone walked towards her who was standing there.

An Min stabilized for a moment, adjusted his breathing a little, and was about to continue to another area. When he turned around, he seemed to see something familiar from the corner of his eye, and fixed his eyes——

White isolation suits, transparent isolation mirrors, professional anti-particulate masks, tall figures, and familiar eyes.

She smiled: baby, daddy is back!

night.

In the hospital reception hall.

Zhuang Shu asked her to disinfect with a medical disposable disinfectant before handing her an unopened bottle of water.

An Min unscrewed the bottle cap and took a big gulp, "Baby, you and your mother will be taken care of immediately when Dad comes back. Dad is still a lucky general. No matter how many times I have called, they have no news. As soon as Dad comes back, he will have combined antibiotics." The microbiome of the disease center has just proposed a combination of four antibiotics that have been out of use for ten years, and they are already being produced and allocated urgently.

"Mom is also very wise and powerful, and knows how to improve breathing and remove abscesses." She thought of everything she thought of, "I'm Fu Dashen again!"

"It was our father's insistence that I was able to come into contact with this mutant strain for the first time." She didn't take credit for it, "and the email you sent made me more confident in my approach." It was too dangerous all of a sudden, she was really not sure.

Zhuang Shu sat with her, shoulder to shoulder, head to head, "You did a good job." Although young but reliable.

"Xiu Minqi is dead." An Min told him the news unexpectedly, "on the third day of the outbreak, a patient had difficulty breathing and the aspirator was broken. I pushed away, did it myself, and then inhaled some of that patient's respiratory fluid and got infected as well."

Zhuang Shu didn't speak, but he knew that she must have done everything she could to Xiu Minqi afterwards.

"I didn't forgive him." An Min looked forward, "But I take back what he said that he is not worthy of being a doctor. He is a qualified doctor and worthy of his patients, but he is not worthy of being a human being. The superb medical skills cannot make up for the lack of morality. .” She always remembered the phrase “just a nurse” “Xiu Minqi wrote a letter to the new investigation team before entering the epidemic area.”

Zhuang Shu turned his head.

"Admitted all the things he did back then, including colluding with Fu Bowen to modify the receipt of medicine, defrauding the investigation team, and framing Aunt Zhang." An Min still looked ahead: As for why Xiu Minqi wrote this letter, she didn't know. I will tell him, let Zhuang Shu believe that that person is still a bit human. "With the original evidence, the investigation team should have a result soon. I also want to take the result to the United States to apologize to you. What I didn't expect was the investigation. It was interrupted because of this infection, and everyone's thoughts were on the rescue; after Hongjie's patient died, something went wrong with Hongjie, and then Corey's colleagues fell one by one. Yang Zixuan and Chu Jun will come to join us after you leave At the dinner party, he also fell down, and Yang Yu...is really the first few big..."

"Where is the ring?" Zhuang Shu asked suddenly.

An Min subconsciously pulled out the necklace from the T-shirt, "Here."

Zhuang Shu saw that the pendant on her necklace was the ring he left behind, raised his hand, took off her necklace, and held the ring in his hand "Hand."

An Min stretched out both hands.

Zhuang Shu put the ring on her left ring finger, "We'll get married, and we'll go as soon as the quarantine is lifted!"

An Min looked at the big diamond ring shining between him, raised his eyes, and looked at the man in front of him, "For the rest of my life, please take care of Dad Zhuang, because I'm not good enough."

Zhuang Shu hugged her into his arms, "In this life, Mama Fu is only for me to love, no matter how 'bad' the person I love is, I will love her."

An Min finally hugged him too.

"...Bastard! You took the initiative to call me once after returning to the United States, bad guy! Do you know what Yang Zixuan said nonsense in front of my mother, saying that you don't want our mother and daughter, he and his old man are happy to take care of us... "

"It doesn't matter, when the joint antibiotics come, I will give him an injection myself!" A certain father gritted his teeth, "I must 'thank' him well!"
