Chapter 166: Surgery Success.
The people in the security department all agreed to work with him and Hao Ren said, "Miss Okudera, when would you like the treatment to begin?"
Maya Okudera was shocked and asked, "What exactly is the treatment?"
Hao Ren replied, "I will need to operate and take out the plates and the pins. Then I will give you the bone regeneration potion. At the same time, I will handle the nerves. It would take two hours at most."
Maya Okudera nodded and then she asked, "In which hospital do I need to get admitted?"
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "Not a hospital. The methods I am using are not known to common men. It can only be done in secret. I wonder if that is okay with you?"
Maya Okudera was surprised and asked, "Then what do you mean? Where will you operate me?"
Hao Ren replied, "We will do it at Yue Mansion. They have all the medical supplies there, and I have already sent a few med bots over there for them to help me during the procedure."
Maya Okudera looked at Han Lingshi who said, "Do not worry, I will not let you harm him even if he is my husband. Had I not been confident in this I wouldn't have asked you to try it. The final decision is yours, if you don't want to go on, you can refuse anytime before you are undergoing the operation."
Maya Okudera was a beautiful person, and at this moment, while her heart was willing to go ahead but the logic behind everything was troubling her. All this sounded too fantastical and given her conditions, she had learned to be very realistic.
Hao Ren sensed the hesitation and said, "Maya, I am not forcing you, but treasure and trouble walk hand in hand. If you are willing to trust me, I can assure you that I will not let any harm befall you during the treatment."
He did not wish to resort to this move but Maya Okudera was going to be an important asset in the future, so he had to use his soothsaying skill on her. Along with the sincere expression, the evil capitalist influenced Maya Okudera to nod.
Then Hao Ren said, "Heath, drive her to the Yue Mansion, I will follow you along with Lingshi. The rest of you, take a good rest today, and within a week, be ready to replace the military guards in the research center located in the core area."
The guards gave him an affirmative answer and then everyone took off.
...
After half an hour, Hao Ren and Lingshi went through the gates of the Yue Mansion followed by Heath, who was driving the mini van. After they came, Yue Shenlong met them along with Han Lingxue. The young lady had decided to learn martial arts and cultivation. So she had come over to the Yue Mansion to learn from Old Man Yue, because he was the best teacher.
Han Lingxue was young and her family could not bear to treat her harshly, thus, Yue Chilong became the choice. He was strict as hell. Maya Okudera was being pushed by Han Lingxue and the former could not help but look at Han Lingshi from time to time.
Hao Ren was also beside them, and he shook his head. Han Lingshi was the corner stone in Maya's life. He wanted to know more about her so that he could understand the reason of her intense emotions.
They came to the basement of the mansion, which had been transformed into a critical hospital ward. Yue Chilong said, "We had a small emergency room, but with the equipment you bought over, this place has become a state of art operation theatre."
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal."
Xiao Mei had used her magic to get things done. She had also uploaded herself in the med bots inside the house so they would not function in the stiff manner like they did in the military. Hao Ren said, "Xiao Mei, get her prepared."
One Med Bot stepped up and replied, "Okay, Boss."
Han Lingxue was surprised, and curiously she followed behind the robot. Hao Ren shook his head and said, "Xuexue, do you want to be a nurse?'
He was thinking about scaring the girl, but the young lady became excited and asked, "Can I?"
Hao Ren facepalmed, and Han Lingshi dragged her away scolding, "This is a major procedure, what are you messing around for? You can play with Xiao Mei later. Such a kid."
Yue Chilong looked at Hao Ren and asked, "How sure are you to get her treated?"
Hao Ren replied, "Hundred percent."
The old man wanted to say something when Hao Ren said, "I will need your help to infuse spiritual energy in the content inside this potion."
Hao Ren took out a test tube from his space ring and said, "You can start it now, and pass it to me later. Do not stop infusing until the color of the content turns to blue."
Yue Chilong nodded and asked, "What is this?"
Hao Ren replied calmly, "Bone regeneration potion, however, the spiritual energy content of these herbs was very low, and the modern atmosphere had caused a lot of impurities to reside in them. So spiritual energy is the only way to purify it to achieve the effect I want."
Yue Chilong sighed and agreed to help him out. After a few minutes, Hao Ren had also changed into medical garbs and sanitized his hands and checked all the instruments, when he said, "Alright, Xiao Mei, bring her over."
The other people were all standing behind a layer of a transparent plastic barrier. Maya Okudera was still in her wheelchair, but the bots have helped her to change her into a medical gown. Hao Ren looked at her, and he could see that she was obviously nervous.
He spoke with a calm tone, "Maya, you are not undergoing a surgery, but you are seizing a chance to change your fate. Do you not want that?"
Maya nodded but her eyes were still wavering. Hao Ren and two med bots transferred her to the bed. Then they turned her over to lay on her bell after attaching the sensors to her body. Xiao Mei also attached an infusion line to ensure blood transfusion in case she suffers from excessive loss.
There was a hole in the table from which Maya was looking down. Hao Ren counted a few seconds and said, "We will begin in a bit, tell me if you feel any pain."
Xiao Mei administered local anesthesia and Hao Ren performed a quick acupuncture to make sure that the pain she feels gets equal to a normal touch. Then he waited for a few seconds, before poking the spinal region where he had to operate and asked, "Do you feel anything?"
Maya replied, "No."
Xiao Mei said, "Her vitals are okay, we can go ahead boss."
Hao Ren nodded and took a scalpel to make an incision along the spine. His hand was steady, and it was quick as well. The cut was made, and now began the hard task to remove the pins and plates. The young man called for tool after tool, and Xiao Mei used the bots to monitor vitals, and suction to clean the spot of operation.
Hao Ren was quick but he was careful, and the people standing on the other side of the plastic barrier could sense how tense it was to be operating on a human, and Maya was awake. During the procedure, Xiao Mei was also talking to Maya about various aspects of finance industry.
She chose this topic to keep Maya calm, and distracted. Had she asked about her family and friends, it might have caused her state of mind to fluctuate and cause a disaster.
After one hour and thirty minutes, Hao Ren raised his gaze to look at Yue Chilong, who was outside the barrier. It was his quick speed that allowed him to remove seven plates, and ten pins from the spinal cord. Then he used his spiritual energy to keep the bone fragments in the same position.
One of the bots used a hole in the barrier to take the test tube and gave it to Hao Ren. The fluid inside had turned from grey to icy blue. Hao Ren gave a thumbs up to the old man and gently poured the liquid over the spinal cord, and then Xiao Mei said, "What the fuck! How can it repair so quickly?"
The spinal cord was healing and shining with an icy blue tint. The holes and the marks left behind by the pins were also vanishing at an eye blinking speed. Hao Ren then pulled the incision which looked like he was going to stitch it, but he pour over another fluid from another test tube.
This fluid was red colored, and it worked like magic. The six inches long incision vanished without even leaving a mark. The place had a scar from the past operation but the fluid seemed to be a fleshy eraser and the scars were also repaired.
Yue Chilong was the most shocked person. He could swear that if Hao Ren had displayed such skill in the Spirit Shimmer Continent, then he would make a big splash.
Hao Ren placed his finger tips on the exposed back of Maya Okudera and activated his Yin and Yang eyes. He began to fix the entangled and damaged nerves and at the same time he used the left over medicinal effect of the fluids to improve the atrophic muscles and veins.
...
Han Lingxue leaned closer to Han Lingshi and whispered, "Sister, see he is touching the back of another woman. Are you jealous?"
Han Lingshi turned to look at her and shook her head as she said, "No, there is still a micron gap between his fingers and Maya's back. He is pouring in the spiritual energy through her pores."
Han Lingxue felt she had lost her chance to tease her sister and sighed as she said, "You have no idea about such things. My dormmate Aurora told me that if a man is not fed with flesh he will run out to find another nest."
Han Lingshi furrowed her brows and asked, "What does that even mean?"
Han Lingxue smacked her forehead before she leaned over and whispered in her sister's ear. Han Lingshi's face turned red as an apple. She pushed Han Lingxue away and smacked her shoulder as she scolded, "What dirty things do you keep thinking about?"
Han Lingxue snorted and said, "Wait till you consummate your relation, these dirty things will be something you look forward to."
Han Lingshi was getting angry and embarrassed but she did not want to admit it and said, "Never."
Han Lingxue shrugged her shoulders and said, "Is that so? We will see when other women chase after Brother-in-law and he brings some home. Hmph." Explore new worlds at M V L
The girl did not understand what she had done. Han Lingshi fell quite and began to think about something only she knew.
...
Hao Ren was covered with sweat. Xiao Mei had been wiping his sweat diligently but that was limited to the face only. After half an hour of repairing nerves, his body was drained of spiritual energy and his stamina was almost at its last leg too.
When he saw that everything was okay, he took away his hand and said, "Xiao Mei, you are in charge. She fell asleep when I was repairing her nerves, you can inform me when she wakes up in the morning.
Xiao Mei replied, "Yes, Boss."
Hao Ren then changed his clothes and took a shower before he came out with a pale face and tired expression. Han Lingshi held his hand and asked, "Are you okay?"
Hao Ren smiled and then said, "Yes, can we go home? I am tired."
Han Lingshi nodded and then turned to look at Maya who was laying in the bed. Hao Ren said, "She is fine now. Do not worry, in five days, she will be able to run around like normal people."
Han Lingshi trusted him, and after a few verbal exchanges with everyone, they left the place. Heath drove them back to the apartment and the couple walked upstairs.
Han Lingshi said, "I will take a shower, you should change as well."
The young man nodded and said, "In a bit."
Han Lingshi went to the shower room, and as she stood under the drizzling water, she could not help but think of the things Han Lingxue said to her. She knew that Hao Ren was not the person who would do something like cheating on her, but most of the time he has been catering to her and not the other way around.
Thinking about her, she closed her eyes and wanted to meditate, when Hao Ren came to the cloaking room located on the other side of the stained glass door. She could vaguely see his shadow through the door as he took off his clothes.
Han Lingshi blushed, she was a young woman at the peak of her youth and she had shared many first times with Hao Ren, so how could she not think about the consummation? As she was thinking about it, suddenly she took a deep breath and closed the tap to walk out. In her eyes a fire was burning strong.
Would this fire consume her or will she tame it?
