“Fifty percent.”
Wei Ruo spoke honestly. Her feelings at the moment were complicated. She didn’t want Wei Mingting to die like this. Even if only for the sake of the people of Taizhou Prefecture, she didn’t want them to lose such a brave general.
“From my judgment just now, I’d say there’s at most a twenty percent chance,” Doctor Cheng said frankly. “If you think there’s a fifty percent chance, then we can still try our best.”
While speaking, the two had already removed the bandages from Wei Mingting’s body, revealing the old wound on his chest that had begun to fester.
Compared to the fresh injuries, the wound looked far more horrifying. In the center was clearly visible dark brown pus, and the surrounding flesh had begun to rot.
“This portion of flesh must be cut out,” Wei Ruo said.
“Can you handle the knife?” Physician Cheng asked her.
He didn’t doubt Wei Ruo’s skill. Back in the small courtyard when they fought the epidemic together, he had already witnessed how steady her hands were.
But things are different now. The patient was her father, and that could easily affect her state of mind.
“I can,” Wei Ruo replied firmly.
“Good. Then I’ll assist you, you take the lead.” Physician Cheng said without hesitation, placing the knife used for cutting flesh into Wei Ruo’s hand.
Wei Ruo held the knife over the oil lamp to heat it, then dipped it into the medicinal solution that had just been prepared.
After that, she inserted the blade into Wei Mingting’s chest. As the knife moved slowly, the rotten flesh was gradually separated from the healthy flesh.
Physician Cheng stood at the side, holding his breath in concentration. The wound in this area might be connected to other nerves—one careless move, and Commander Wei might become crippled for the rest of his life.
Wei Ruo’s hands were steady. Even though the patient was Wei Mingting, it did not affect her movements.
As her wrist turned, the rotten flesh was gradually separated bit by bit and placed into the bowl prepared beside them.
Just as Wei Ruo was removing the decayed tissue, Wei Yilin’s voice suddenly came from outside.
“Let me in! I want to see Father!”
“Why are you stopping me? I want to see Father! None of you are allowed to stop me! If you keep blocking me, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Hearing the commotion outside, Wei Ruo frowned. But she couldn’t stop what she was doing, so she called out to Xiumei.
“Meimei, go stop Wei Yilin.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Receiving the order, Xiumei walked to the door.
As soon as the door opened, Wei Yilin outside tried to rush in, but Xiumei blocked him with one arm.
“Why are you stopping me?” he demanded.
“Young Master, Physician Cheng is treating the Master inside. No one can disturb him,” Xiumei explained.
“Then why can Big Sister stay inside?” Wei Yilin questioned.
“The Eldest Miss is assisting Doctor Cheng.”
“I won’t cause trouble either! I’ll just quietly watch from the side!” Wei Yilin insisted.
“Young Master, you are not calm enough right now. It’s better for you to stay outside.”
“No! I must see Father! Everyone says Father is badly injured! I don’t believe it—my father will be fine!” Wei Yilin’s eyes were red.
After saying that, he tried to force his way in again. Xiumei moved to stop him once more.
This time, Wei Yilin was prepared. He used the martial arts he had been practicing to try to dodge her.
But Xiumei was not like the other maids in the residence. Her skills were far superior to Wei Yilin’s. The moment he attempted to counter, she had already predicted his movements. Not only did she stop him easily, but with a swift, graceful spin she moved behind him, grabbed the back of his collar, and dragged him away from the doorway into the courtyard.
Wei Yilin froze, his eyes filled with disbelief.
