Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1721: Chapter 1720: The One Injured is My Husband

An Hao’s first reaction was that the injured person must be Qin Jian.

He had gone to participate in the military exercise, he was a regiment commander, and his last name was Qin. With these three points combined, An Hao instinctively believed that this person must be Qin Jian.

”What... what’s his condition? How did he get injured? How serious is it?” An Hao, gripped by agitation, tightly seized Old Tie’s arms, her hands clasping onto him with immense force.

She was too nervous, too worried, and even her voice trembled with unmistakable quivers.

”Are you seriously asking me? Who the hell am I supposed to ask? That’s just how they explained it to me. I came here to find Ji Chuan and casually brought it up in conversation. The army’s affairs—they’re not going to explain everything to me in detail,” Old Tie said, grimacing from the pain. ”Please, I’m begging you, let go! Your grip is so strong it’s hurting my arms!”

An Hao slowly released her hands, and tears began streaming down her face uncontrollably. She had never anticipated such a situation.

Qin Jian had participated in countless military exercises, big and small, without any incidents. How could it be that this time his life was hanging by a thread?

”Qin Jian... No way, it can’t be him, right?” Ji Chuan was also stunned. Even he refused to believe it—how could Qin Jian have gotten injured?

”I don’t know! What’s going on? You all know this person?” Old Tie, sensing the expressions on Ji Chuan and the female doctor in front of him, couldn’t help but feel suspicious. Otherwise, why would their reactions be so off the moment the regiment commander’s critical condition was mentioned?

”He’s my husband! The Qin Regiment Commander you mentioned—the injured one—is my husband!” An Hao sobbed, tears streaming down her cheeks.

”I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I didn’t know! If I’d known, I wouldn’t have said anything, not even if they killed me!” Old Tie, realizing that his casual remark had frightened the doctor into tears, suddenly felt a wave of guilt.

”Has the helicopter left yet?” An Hao cried a few times but quickly realized now wasn’t the time for sorrow. She hurriedly asked.

”I don’t think so. When I just came down, I didn’t see the helicopter take off! If you want to catch it, you better hurry! Maybe there’s still time! I heard it’s an emergency. They’re only staying for ten minutes!” Old Tie promptly answered.

”Okay, I’m on my way!” An Hao dashed off, not even bothering to take off her white coat, heading straight for the rooftop on the twelfth floor.

Right before she left, An Hao left Ji Chuan a phone number.

That number was her home’s landline. She repeatedly urged Ji Chuan that if she didn’t return home before the end of the workday, he had to come up with an excuse to inform her family, so her father-in-law and mother-in-law wouldn’t worry.

Before she could confirm Qin Jian’s safety, she needed Ji Chuan to stall for as long as possible.

To prevent her in-laws from finding out and getting worried!

She left in such a frantic rush that she didn’t even leave Ji Chuan a moment to respond.

Ji Chuan found himself burdened with such a thorny issue but had no way to refuse helping her out.

.....................

Gasping for breath, An Hao arrived on the rooftop just in time to see the helicopter’s cabin doors closing. It was already slowly lifting off.

The massive rotor blades spun, generating a powerful gust of wind.

While waving her arms, An Hao ran toward the helicopter, yelling hoarsely with great effort, ”Wait! Stop! Wait for me!”

The hospital director, seeing An Hao rushing toward the helicopter in such an emotional state, hurriedly intercepted her: ”Doctor An, what are you doing? Director Yan’s heading off to carry out an urgent mission! Don’t cause trouble!”
