Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Amputation Surgery
Huo Tingdong didn’t catch what was said at first, lowering his head, ear close to her mouth, “What?”
Lin Qi began to mumble unclearly, and after a while, it seed the anesthetic took effect, and she fell asleep again.
But Momo heard it clearly.
He carefully approached Lin Qi, nervously holding her hand, “Mommy…” This foolish Mommy, even when unconscious, kept repeating that she had to save him, to save Han.
But now, both he and Han were just fine.
Momo wiped away tears, looking heartbrokenly at Lin Qi’s bandaged hands and legs.
She had multiple fractures all over her body, so she was completely immobilized, unable to move at all. He didn’t know how long it would even take for her to get out of bed once she did wake up.
Huo Tingdong asked, “Why did you wake up?”
Momo replied, “Worried about Mommy, I couldn’t sleep well.”
Huo Tingdong said, “Don’t worry, I have been here watching over her.”
Momo lifted his head to look at the man before him, in his mory, Huo Tingdong was like a ruthless monster, rarely exhibiting the warmth common people possess. Yet now, he felt this man wasn’t as cold-blooded as he had imagined.
Han tugged on Momo’s hand, pulling him out of the room.
A doctor ca in, conducted another examination on Lin Qi.
From outside the ward, Momo suddenly heard the doctor speaking in an especially grave tone to Huo Tingdong, “… The broken arm is infected, I suggest we perform an amputation soon to prevent necrosis and irreversible damage which could endanger her life, that would be terrible.”
Amputation?
Momo stood up, eyes wide, looking towards the ward.
What did the doctor say, an amputation for Mommy?
Huo Tingdong upon hearing this, also frowned, “Are you serious? Is amputation necessary? Didn’t you do a proper cleaning initially?”
The doctor replied, “We did the best we could. Mr. Huo, I won’t hide it from you, it’s a miracle that Miss Lin was pulled back from the brink of death. I suspect she instinctively used her hand for support to protect her head during the fall, which resulted in a fractured elbow joint, shattered hurus, and infected wound. Please make a prompt decision about whether to proceed with the amputation surgery.”
Huo Tingdong said, “She’s still so young, wouldn’t amputation be too cruel?” The thought of her waking up to find herself missing an arm, and how painful that would be, made him feel that the amputation surgery was too harsh.
The doctor explained, “We also don’t want to do this, but we suggest this surgery to save Miss Lin’s life.”
Huo Tingdong asked, “Does it have to be now?”
The doctor replied, “The surgery requires a family mber’s signature. If you agree, you can sign first, and we will arrange the surgery, to be done tomorrow morning.”
Momo suddenly stood up.
He watched as the doctor handed Huo Tingdong an inford consent form, fearing he might really sign it.
Han suddenly grasped his arm firmly, saying word by word, “It’s that woman.”
His abrupt statent left Momo sowhat perplexed.
Momo looked at Han, furrowing his brows, “What do you an by that?”
Han said, “It’s her, that woman, she must have pushed Aunt Qiqi off.”
As if by telepathy, Momo voiced his suspicion, “You an, Song Shuyan? She’s the one who pushed Mommy?”
Han nodded.
Momo suddenly grabbed his collar, demanding, “Why are you so sure? Is this your speculation, or did you witness it?” He rembered that Han had been with him the whole ti, during the period Lin Qi fell.
But after the incident, Han’s reaction was abnormal.
It was as if he knew sothing had happened to Lin Qi; he hurried to the tent, agitated as though he knew or sensed sothing.
Han said, “Intuition.” He always trusted his own intuition.
Especially after Song Shuyan had threatened him that way; when he saw Lin Qi lying in a pool of blood, he reflexively rembered Song Shuyan’s words and felt a shiver down his spine.
Han said, “I’m sure… it’s her… but… I don’t have… evidence.”
Momo had nearly unconditional trust in Han. Seeing Han so convinced, a sudden icy aura enveloped Momo.
If it was indeed Song Shuyan who hard his Mommy like this, he wanted her to pay with blood for blood.
Seeing the fleeting change on Momo’s face –cold, rciless, fierce– Han thought of Huo Tingdong’s expression when he was angry.
When Daddy is angry, it’s like this too.
Han reached for his hand.
But Momo imdiately shook him off.
Momo in front of him suddenly seed a bit strange, a bit terrifying.
Yet, Han wasn’t afraid.
He believed Momo wouldn’t hurt him.
Han gently said, “Together.” He wanted to be with Momo.
Momo said, “Don’t follow , go back.”
Han shook his head, his expression determined.
After a mont, an Alphard stopped at the hospital entrance.
The car door opened, two n in neat suits stepped out, bowing to Momo, “Mr. Mo, please get in the car.”
Momo coldly inquired, “Where is she?”
The man replied, “We have deployed a citywide control, we will have her brought in within an hour.”
Momo got to his feet.
He watched the doctor hand a consent form to Huo Tingdong, anxious that he might actually sign it.
Han suddenly grabbed his arm, enunciating each word, “It’s that woman.”
His abrupt comnt left Momo a bit confused.
Momo turned to Han, his brows furrowed, “What do you an by that?”
Han declared, “It’s her, that woman, she must be the one who pushed Aunt Qiqi down.”
It was as if there was a telepathic connection, Momo in doubt, “You an, Song Shuyan? She’s the one who pushed mommy off?”
Han nodded.
Momo quickly seized his collar, interrogating, “Why are you so sure? Is this just your conjecture, or did you witness it?” He rembered that Han had been with him the entire ti Lin Qi had fallen.
But after the incident, Han’s behavior was oddly abnormal.
It was as though he knew sothing had happened to Lin Qi; he frantically made for the tent as if he was aware of sothing, or had sensed sothing.
Han said, “Intuition.” He had always trusted his intuition.
Especially since Song Shuyan had threatened him before. When he saw Lin Qi lying in a pool of blood, he instinctively recalled what Song Shuyan had said, and felt a chill.
Han admitted, “I am certain… it’s her… but… I have no… evidence.”
Momo nearly had unconditional trust in Han. Seeing him so sure, a chilling air abruptly swept over Momo.
If it were indeed Song Shuyan who did this to his mommy, he wanted blood for blood.
Witnessing the instant transformation of Momo’s face, shadowed with a chilling, ruthless ferocity, Han was struck by how Momo’s delicate features, so similar to Lin Qi’s, suddenly assud a terrifying solemnity in his gaze.
Momo quickly turned and left.
Taken aback, Han rushed after him.
“Don’t follow !” Momo rejected him sharply.
Han froze in place, watching Momo head toward the elevator bank, unsure of his destination. Coming to his senses, he hurried after him again.
By the ti he reached the elevator, Momo had already gone inside, and with a ding, the doors closed.
Without ti to think, Han caught sight of the ergency exit and imdiately dashed down the stairs to the first floor.
Inside the elevator.
Momo pulled out his phone, dialing a number.
A respectful voice answered from the other end: “Mr. Mo, how may I assist you?”
“I am at Mingde Hospital. I need you to co and get in ten minutes.”
“Yes!”
“And another thing…” Momo’s voice, cold and commanding, “bring Song Shuyan.”
“Yes!”
After hanging up the phone, the elevator doors opened, and Momo walked toward the hospital entrance.
Erging from the ergency exit, Han, out of breath, ran to the entrance, searching around, and saw Momo already outside. He imdiately ran toward him.
What was he up to?
For so reason, Momo’s presence felt nacing, creating a sense of dread.
Momo heard footsteps behind him and turned around, seeing Han, he raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t I tell you not to follow ?”
His tone was mature and rciless, out of place for his age, his gaze decisively lethal, not sothing a seven-year-old child would possess. This deanor made Han instantly think of Huo Tingdong when he was angry.
Daddy looked the sa when he was upset.
Han tried to take his hand.
But Momo shook him off right away.
Momo before him seed sohow unfamiliar now, sohow scary.
But Han wasn’t afraid.
He trusted Momo wouldn’t hurt him.
Han spoke softly, “Together.” He wanted to be with Momo.
Momo said, “Don’t follow , go back.”
Han shook his head, his face set with resolve.
Soon, an Alphard stopped at the hospital’s front door.
As the car door opened, two n in sharp suits stepped out and bowed to Momo, “Mr. Mo, please get in.”
Momo asked coldly, “Where is she?”
The man replied, “We have already placed a citywide alert. Within one hour, we will bring her to you.”
