My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 2041: Chapter 2043: Jiang Nuan vs Fu Yi 44

When did Director Fu start speaking so gently?

The assistant quickly sneaked a few glances, but upon meeting Fu Yi’s warning gaze, he turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery.

Hmm, the trees outside look pretty good today.

The grayish bird flying over there, is that a sparrow?

...

Jiang Nuan took a deep breath and reluctantly agreed to stay, "Let me go first, I’ll leave after examining you."

Fu Yi knew when to take advantage of a situation and immediately let go, not wasting a second, then turned his deep gaze to the assistant, "Go ahead, what’s the matter."

The assistant sneaked a glance at the two of them, hesitatingly said, "It’s nothing, really, I just came to report the progress of the work to Director Fu..."

Jiang Nuan furrowed her brows, just about to say he needed more rest.

Then she heard the man lying on the hospital bed say as if it were the most natural thing, "Go ahead."

"The underground life detector found two more people alive buried under the rubble in the heavily affected area of the city’s west. The rescue team dug through the night to save them yesterday, a brother and sister, the older one is 8 years old, and the younger one is 3. Their parents are both dead. Judging by the excavation scene, the couple was crushed to death trying to save their children. When the little girl was rescued, she was still hiding under their bodies, only saved from being hit by the stones above because the corpses held them up."

Jiang Nuan turned her head.

"The siblings managed to survive these days underground because the brother repeatedly bit open his own arm wound to feed his sister with his blood. If we hadn’t found them early, the brother might not have survived..."

An 8-year-old boy, so young, Jiang Nuan recalled her own age of 8, remembering that at 8 she could do nothing more than eat, sleep, and play, constantly messing around with classmates, pampered to the point of being spoiled, not to mention having a wound on her arm and biting it open every day to feed her sister with her own blood; even a little cut from sharpening a pencil would make her cry for half a day...

The assistant seemed deeply moved as well, sentimentally saying, "We managed to save them, but, here, the medical conditions are limited. That little boy’s left leg was crushed by rocks for three days; the femoral head has already necrotized. In different circumstances, maybe the leg could be saved, but in those moments, everyone was afraid of aftershocks collapsing the painstakingly dug rescue passage again, so the rescue team chose the fastest and safest method—we sawed off his leg."

Jiang Nuan suddenly looked up at him, "Sawed off?"

"Yes." The assistant’s expression was both guilty and distressed, eyes seeming to glisten with tears, "There was no choice; time is life. Everyone wanted to save as many people as possible, didn’t have the time to think of ways to dig out the rocks crushing his leg. We used all our time on him; what about others still buried underground waiting to be saved? In the face of natural disasters, saving even one life is already considered good. No one dares to hope for more."

Jiang Nuan’s throat was dry, unsure where the voice came from, "...but he’s only eight."

An 8-year-old boy hasn’t grown up yet and already lost a wing; it’s too cruel!

Fu Yi grabbed her cold hand, his proud side profile deep-set, his voice hoarse, "Nuannuan, the medical supplies in Hechuan County are too scarce. Even if the rescue team ignored the aftershocks and helped move the stones crushing his leg, there’s no medical condition for surgery even if he were sent to the rescue station. There’s no equipment here, nor enough doctors. Every day many lose limbs, eyes, any possible organ, but they all know surviving is the greatest blessing. In the face of life and death, humans are so insignificant. They know this, and so do we."
