085. Gravity and Death, To You They Are Synonymous
As she left, lying on the ICU operating table, Nordly suddenly spoke:
"...Don't mind me anymore."
Her tone was unprecedentedly weak, completely losing the strength and stability she usually had, as light as a piece of paper in the wind.
"Head Nurse Nordly? We've already given you anesthesia—has the qi become so chaotic that the anesthetic can no longer hold?"
"Anna... she has a hard time."
Nordly's tone was full of sorrow:
"Someone like me, it's good if I die. I've committed so many sins, now it's time for me to atone..."
"What are you saying—if it weren't for you, we would have died long ago."
The chief surgeon's nose turned sour. No matter what, Nordly was a colleague and friend they had been with for many years, defending their peace with her strength.
"...No matter how much water you add to a bottle of ink, it can never be clear. What's done cannot be undone."
Nordly struggled, trying to lift her hand to pull out the breathing tube:
"Let me die. I should have died long ago—"
Bang!
The ICU door was kicked open heavily, and a nurse immediately shouted, "We're in the middle of surgery, outsiders can't enter—"
Before she finished, her face turned red, and a yellow-black windbreaker flashed before her eyes, pushing her aside.
Although it was just a brief encounter, the flawless, handsome face made her heart race and she became infatuated.
"How rare, I just left for three days, and now I'm an outsider?"
The handsome man spread his arms, innocently said:
"Don't you recognize me? Doctors. You even drew my bone marrow and blood. Such heartless bitches, tsk tsk tsk."
He seemed to have a magnetic presence, drawing everyone's gaze to him. Under the gaze of his gray eyes, their hearts fluttered.
"Are you... the patient Li Aozi?"
The chief surgeon recognized him, surprised, but then shook her head:
"Glad to see you alive, but we're in the middle of surgery, your presence will affect us—"
Bang!
Li Aozi casually tossed a box of medication, which landed in her arms. The chief surgeon looked down and almost screamed at the sight of the large characters 'Zunisidin'.
"Zunisidin—it's the miracle drug! Head Nurse Nordly, you're saved."
She quickly opened the package, prepared the medication at the optimal ratio, and administered it through an arterial injection.
Li Aozi leaned against the door, watching their movements with interest.
After a series of frantic actions, Nordly's vital signs gradually returned to normal, her breathing steadied, and the anesthetic's effects resumed as her body stabilized.
The chief surgeon breathed a sigh of relief. With the wound stitched, Nordly would recover in under two hours.
She felt a deep sense of gratitude, asked a nurse to wipe her sweat, stitched the wound, and then turned, bowing deeply to Li Aozi.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Li Aozi. Without your help, Head Nurse Nordly would have needed blood dialysis, which would have caused irreversible damage to her body."
