Romance Of Flame And Ice Chapter 69
Advertisement
Nurse Wang is also an anesthesiologist so she injected the boy with general anaesthesia while Yu Yan removed the wound dressing and passed them to one of the nurses then she placed a surgical cloth on his body and then cut out the middle of the cloth where the area of incision is located, she rubbed the disinfectant on the skin in the open area of the cloth.
"I am starting now and I will not tolerate any act of sluggishness, we still have another operation to perform after this" Yu Yan said
"Scalpel"
Nurse Wang handed the scalpel to her, Yu Yan performed a large incision through the first layer of the tissue.
"Bovie"
She collected the Bovie and then dissected through the layers of the tissue, even in such a surgery where they needed speed and focus because of the complication and the affected areas, she was still able to make the incision very quickly, the nurses there have never seen Yu Yan during surgery except nurse Wang so they were amazed at her preciseness and speed, they were even more surprised when there was no blood coming out of the incision she made. This was something that they had never seen but it wasn't surprising to nurse Wang who had already gotten used to such a scene.
When she had the peritoneum in her sight, she handed the Bovie to nurse wang, nurse Wang was already experienced when it comes to this kind so surgery so she didn't need Yu Yan to tell her what to do anymore. She handed a pair of retractors to Yu Yan then Yu Yan used it to widen the incision in order to see it clearly, then she made an incision on the peritoneum, she inserted the peritoneal dialysis catheter through the opening, she attached a syringe to the catheter and then started performing the suction, after the catheter was filled up with blood, she removed the catheter and inserted a laparoscope into the incision. Then she looked at the images on the screen to find the blood vessels leading to and fro the spleen to the other organs, when she found them, she clamped the blood vessels to stop blood from flowing through the spleen. She used a harmonic scalpel to cut the spleen and then placed in a surgery bag, she removed the surgery bag with the spleen in it and then placed it in a surgical tray and handed it to nurse Wang. After completing the surgery procedure, she stitched up the front and back opening of the injury and the surgical incision.
"Take care of the rest and refer him to the orthopaedic department to check for other skeletal injuries from the penetration, since he is a footballer, we can't have him disabled" Yu Yan said, then she heaved a sigh of relief and looked at his face. She was about to open the curtain but nurse Wang called her.
"Surgeon Yu, you have tried," She said with a smile on her face, this is not the first time she had admired Yu Yan's surgical skills but it never ceases to amaze her, normally such surgery should take up to two or three hours but Yu Yan completed it in an hour and thirty minutes, even the other nurses were surprised by her speed. She smiled back at her then she opened the curtain with her hand raised up to prevent the blood on the glove from staining any surface.

When people saw her coming out of the enclosed area, they were serious about the result of the surgery, such a penetrating injury is not something that a teenager can survive especially after the blood loss so most have them had already concluded that the surgery would be a failure. When she came out, she had a straight look on her face so they couldn't tell how the surgery went, Yu Yan looked around for the guardian of the boy then she spotted them outside the glass door of the emergency department so she walked toward them, when they saw her coming out, they were anxious to hear the result of the surgery.
When she got to them, she smiled in order to encourage them but they were still anxious.
"How is my son, is he awake?" the mother asked
"I am sorry for not inquiring about the patient name, I was in a rush but the surgery went well and he has not yet woken up, after 24 hours, but we cannot confirm the final result until then, I have referred him to the orthopaedic department to check for any skeletal injury so you can be rest assured," Yu Yan said, the mother heaved a sigh of relief then she slumped but her daughter quickly supported her.
"You seem to have overexerted yourself," Yu Yan said to her
"My mother just came back from a two days shift and has been worried and crying for a while," the sister said
"you can take your mother to meet one of the nurses there, tell her that Surgeon Yu told her to get a drip, what is your name and your brother name," Yu Yan said
"My name is Yu Yan, my brother name is Guo Yan" she replied, then Yu Yan chuckled
"Seems like we have the same name. My name is Huo Yu Yan" Yu Yan said, then the girl smiled back at her, Yu Yan like the way the girl smiled especially her dimples.
"I will see you later," Yu Yan said then she walked away when she approached the passageway of the emergency department, she entered into the surgery washroom and washed the gloves, she dumped them into the bin and scrubbed her hands.
She looked into the mirror then she realized that her white coat and her white top were already stained with blood, she went into the dressing room and changed into a blue shirt.
When she entered the office, she saw the three of them in the office, she returned to her seat and sat down, the three of them watched her as she slumped on her chair then they glanced at each other.
"What happened that made you so tired?" Li Chen asked Yu Yan sighed then she replied: "I just performed a laparoscopic splenectomy for a teenage boy with a long square knife stabbed into his abdomen and penetrating through his back".
"and the surgery went well?" An Ke asked
"It did but it wasn't easy, I almost lost him before the surgery" Yu Yan said
"How old is the teenage boy," An Ke asked
"I think he is sixteen years old and his sister is my namesake," Yu Yan said

"that is very odd though," Li Chen said
"What is odd?" Yu Yan asked
"both, it is very rare to see someone with the same name as yours and a sixteen-year-old boy shouldn't have survived such blood loss" Li Chen replied
"I agree," An Ke said
"He lost too much blood and we didn't have an Rh-negative blood type in the blood bank, it was almost dead but Jia Yu's cousin came to the rescue" Yu Yan said
"You mean that tall and handsome dude donated his blood for that boy?" An Ke asked
"Yeah but the boy still went into cardiac arrest during the transfusion, it wasn't easy to resuscitate him," Yu Yan said
"Maybe that is why you are a miracle surgeon, what is so hard about that" Xiaomeng said then they all turned to look at her.
"Do you always have to be a bitch?" An Ke said
"Who are you calling a bitch?" Xiaomeng said then she slammed the table and stood up.
"You are the one" An Ke replied with a fierce look on her face, Li Chen already knew that they might start fighting at any moment and as he always does, he tried to stop them.
"Do you guys always have to behave like kids?" Li Chen said, then Xiaomeng sat back while An Ke looked away and scoffed.
"I am going to the café," Yu Yan said then she left the office.
When she got to the café, she went to the counter to make her order.
"One iced americano" Yu Yan said, the attendant returned and handed a cup of iced americano to her, she looked around the café for a place to seat, then she heard someone calling her, she turned back, then she saw Jia Yu and Han Chen sitting in the café. Jia Yu waved her hand telling her to come and sit with them, her eyes went to Han Chen who didn't reciprocate the look, she realized that he must be angry when she lashed out at him in the emergency department so she just walked out of the café. Jia Yu realized that the look Yu Yan gave to Han Chen seemed like a guilty one.
"Brother, did anything happen between you and Yu Yan?" Jia Yu asked
"Why did you ask?" Han Chen said
"She was here just now but she just ignored me and left, she has never done that before," Jia Yu said then she looked at him with suspicion writing on her face.
"Was she? I didn't see her though" Han Chen then he sipped his drink.
"Liar, I just called her in front of you now, something must have happened between two of you," Jia Yu said
"nothing happened, I just met her last week, we are not that close so what could have happened between us" Han Chen replied
"Her mum called me to ask if I knew where she went last night but I couldn't reach her, she has never slept over at anyone's house without me, did you…."
"What are you trying to say, why will she be at my house, apart from you, and those two have you ever seen anyone sleeping at my house" Han Chen said
"Anyway, that is true and Yu Yan will never sleep at any male's house except for Li Chen and Ji Chen, ooh and her boyfriend," Jia Yu said
"I didn't see her boyfriend the other day, where is he?" Han Chen asked
"He is abroad, he has a training to complete before he can return" Jia Yu replied
"ooh," Han Chen said then he sipped his drink again, Jia Yu looked at him quizzically, she felt that he was strange, he has never been this interested in anyone before but he seems interested in Yu Yan.
"Brother, are you interested in Yu Yan," Jia Yu asked
"What nonsense are you talking about, of course not" Han Chen replied
"If you do, I expect you to end it now, her and her boyfriend love each other too much, you won't be able to win her heart even though you are more awesome than him, I don't want you to be heartbroken," Jia Yu said then she looked at him with affection in her eyes, Han Chen saw the way she looked at him then he chuckled and pinched her cheeks.
"You really love me too much, I should perhaps repay you by paying your boyfriend a visit," Han Chen said, Jia Yu pushed his hands away then she rubbed her cheeks.
"Why would you visit my boyfriend alone?" Jia Yu asked
"I want to intimidate him to test if he really loves you" Han Chen replied
"brother..." Jia Yu snapped
"Okay, I was just kidding"
"You don't even have to, when we were abroad, he got injured for saving me," Jia Yu said
"were you hurt?" Han Chen asked he changed into an overprotective father in an instant.
"No, but he has a scar on his arm because of me, that is the symbol of our love," Jia Yu said then she blushed.
"tchtchtchtch! Isn't it just a scar?" Han Chen said
"You don't know Ji Chen, that is the only scar that Ji Chen has, he has always cared about his appearance but he willingly took the cut for me then," Jia Yu said
"Okay, I believe you," Han Chen said then he looked at his watch, he sipped the last bit of his drink then he stood up from his seat.
"I need to go now," Han Chen said
"I forgot to ask why you were still around, shouldn't you be in the barrack," Jia Yu asked, then she stood up with her cup of coffee in her hand.
"I got suspended," Han Chen said
"That's great" Jia Yu replied, then Han Chen looked at her with surprise written on his face.
"Your brother got suspended and you are happy about it," Han Chen said

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
