A scolding from Mrs. Lu was all it took for the anesthetist to come back to his senses. He began preparations to administer anesthesia on Lu Xingzhi.
"Mrs. Lu, the operation is starting soon, do you want to wait outside?" The nurse kindly asked Jiang Yao, who looked frail and small but was scary and aggressive.
"I will watch from the sidelines; it will not disturb you. Go ahead with the operation." Jiang Yao was calm and collected right now, more so than everyone else. "There are two bullets. One is lodged three centimeters from his heart, the other..."
These were the results from a scan by the Medical System. Jiang Yao almost choked seeing the rest of the assessment.
"The other bullet grazed the heart, injuring the pericardiumdouble-walled sac holding the heartin the process. The two bullets are still in his body."
The entire room was hushed hearing Jiang Yao's assessment.
"Grazed the heart and injured the pericardium..." The assistant director was shocked. "No wonder they were saying that it is a miracle that he is still alive!"
No one knew where Jiang Yao got this information from. Having heard it, they looked at the patient in silence.
The anesthetist moved his syringe away and asked, "So are we still proceeding with the operation?"
