Chapter 834 Close to Death
Freya did not speak immediately, her medical skills, compared to the doctors involved in the rescue, were much better, but she had not yet seen Bonnie, and did not dare to commit herself to Tiger easily. She was afraid that, if she could not save Bonnie, Tiger would be even more desperate.
She could only gently rub Tiger's head and say over and over again, "It's going to be okay! Everything will be fine!"
Luckily, Bonnie was still breathing when she was rescued from underneath the rubble. She was badly injured, her body was a bloody mess, and Tiger's father was not badly injured either, both legs were so bruised that she couldn't see what they were supposed to look like.
Tiger's father had lost so much blood that not a trace of blood color could be found on his face, and his lips, too, were terribly white and dry as if they were chapped old bark.
Tiger's father was more seriously injured than Bonnie, but the doctors who rushed over to rescue him had a number of seriously injured patients waiting to be treated, and they could not leave their own patients behind and rush over to save them first.
Now, the only one who can treat their wounds is Dr. Freya.
Freya planned to deal with the injuries on Tiger's father's body first. He was still able to stay awake now, but if he continued to lose blood, even the gods would not be able to save him by then. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
The tall man, who looked extraordinarily frail at the moment, had an unchangeable determination written all over his face.
His voice was hoarse and broken with a gentle depth of feeling, "My Bonnie will be fine! Doctor, please, leave me alone! Save Bonnie first! Save her, she must be fine!"
Close to death, every second is extraordinarily precious. Tiger's father refuses to be treated, and Freya cannot waste too much time on him.
She quickly retrieved the first aid kit from the medicine box and gave Tiger's father an emergency stop to the bleeding, then skilfully treated Bonnie's wounds. By the time she had finished with Bonnie's wounds, most of an hour had passed.
When she went to treat the wounds on Tiger's father, he had passed out.
Perhaps it was because seeing Bonnie being rescued and treated had put his heart at ease. Even when he lost consciousness, his lips, at the corners, still wore a contented smile.
Tiger's father's leg was injured to the bone and would not heal in a short time. Freya examined his leg carefully and fortunately, the extent of the damage was not particularly serious and should not require amputation.
The most serious injury on Tiger's father's body was on his back.
It should have been the moment of distress when he shielded Bonnie with his own body.
Freya cleaned out all the debris, sand and other things inside his back and gave him a simple bandage.
Medical assistance here is limited and if the wounds on Tiger's father's back and legs become infected, it will be very troublesome and they will still have to be moved to a hospital in the city quickly.
Tiger's family was moved to the downtown hospital along with the car of the seriously ill. Even if their house fell down and their savings were buried in that rubble, the family, as long as the people were alive, could not be broken up.
Compared to so many families in the affected areas, they have been lucky.
What Freya has seen most is families broken and people died.
There was a family buried under the rubble. Freya followed the rescue troops there, she tried to save the family, but they had long since lost all signs of life.
During this period of her pregnancy, Freya was really quite uncomfortable, with various pregnancy reactions that made her feel fragile.
But after coming to the disaster area, she realised that there is actually unlimited human potential!
In the face of death, that little symptom of pregnancy reactions is really too insignificant. She only wants to save a few more people and see a few more families complete now, not watch them part with their loved ones and suffer.
Of course, after Freya came over, she hadn't given up looking for Kieran. His men, too, had been looking for him, but it was so chaotic over here that they couldn't find him at all.
Freya was now in the area where Kieran had last appeared; she could not feel his breath, but she was still expecting a miracle to occur.
What if, when the next person is rescued, that person is him?
Those who managed to escape waited impatiently for the rescue forces to rescue their loved ones, but the most disappointing thing they got was an anxious wait full of hope.
One by one, people were rescued from beneath the rubble, but out of ten, only one or two survived.
Many more have closed their eyes forever.
Whenever someone was carried out from under the rubble, Freya would rush over like a madman to see if that person was the one she had been longing for.
No.
But even then, she would not turn a blind eye to the dying and injured.
The earthquake has shattered too many families and she has to do her bit to bring hope to the desperate people here.
In the past, Freya once read an interview with a woman who had survived the devastating earthquake.
The woman was injured in both legs and left with a lifelong disability.
In front of the camera, she said she didn't want to upset her family and that she wanted to be strong and live. She also kept fighting tenaciously against death and eventually survived.
To show the pain she was experiencing and to highlight her resilience, she emphasised in the interview that the medical rescue unit had acted too rudely in treating her wounds after the earthquake and that she had been thrown onto a hospital bed.
At that time, when she watched the interview, Freya truly admired the woman's strength, but now, she only found the woman's words ridiculous.
A massive earthquake has killed and injured countless people, and there are more patients waiting to be treated.
Doctors fight to keep as many people alive as possible, she was lucky to be saved, knowing that many others, just for a few brief seconds, missed the best chance to save their lives and stopped their hearts forever, so who was she to complain that the doctors weren't gentle enough with her?!
We often blame others because of one person's one-sided words, when in reality, there are some things that you will never understand unless you experience them yourself, who is right and who is
wrong!
"It's starting to quake again!"
The man next to Freya shouted and then ran like mad towards a vacant lot to the side.
As his voice fell, Freya only felt the whole world shake.
She didn't dare delay at all, tying up the bandages on the casualty and running ahead with the rescuers carrying the casualty on a stretcher.
This time, the aftershocks were particularly violent, and in a matter of moments, countless more houses collapsed, and even many rescuers were buried under the rubble.
In this rush of people, Freya saw a familiar figure, his arms holding Patricia, his leg wounded and dripping with blood. He ran with some difficulty from an already tilted building to the outside, but because his leg was so badly wounded and he was holding a person, his movements were extraordinarily difficult.
The ground shook more and more violently, and the short building, which had been tilted, began to shake along with the ground!
