Book:Mysterious Mrs. Pansy Published:2024-6-4

Jane quickly and clearly instructed the rescue team leader, “Please send a few more people to help me rescue people at the teaching building. It’s getting late, and time is running out!”
“Alright!” The rescue team leader signaled his team to grab their rescue equipment, hastily making their way to the scene.
Fortunately, the teaching building wasn’t far, and it had also collapsed, leaving only one wall standing.
Nana, disregarding dirt and pain, ran up the rubble, using her bare hands to move and dig rocks, causing her hands to be covered in fresh blood within seconds.
Jane went over and pulled Nana up, “You’re blocking the rescue team’s path here. William needs the help of a professional rescue team.”
“William… You must hold on!” Nana folded her hands in front of her, continuously praying.
“Make way!” Behind them, rescue team members, equipped with professional tools and machinery, swiftly arrived.
Jane quickly pulled Nana aside, and the strong-bodied bodyguards assisted the rescue team members.
“Faster, please, faster!” Nana’s nerves were on edge.
Seeing that it was getting dark, and if William wasn’t found yet…
Nana dared not think further.
“Nana, we will do everything we can to find your boyfriend as soon as possible,” Carl, who had silently followed Nana, spoke up.
Shovels and machines took turns in action, gradually clearing the collapsed part of the teaching building.
Underneath the rubble, a bit of short black hair emerged.
It was a man!
“William! It must be William!” Nana stared at the team clearing the debris, her emotions reaching a breaking point. As soon as she saw the short hair belonging to a man, she almost collapsed, screaming in excitement.
“Someone’s found! Keep going!”
The moment the team member finished speaking, the ground suddenly violently shook-a aftershock!
Jane felt the world spin, gripping Nana tightly. The two barely managed to stay on their feet.
The aftershock was too intense and sudden. Some rescue team members couldn’t steady themselves in time, falling to the ground, their shovels left aside.
Next moment, there was a violent crash of stones and bricks.
The remaining half-wall of the teaching building also collapsed, burying the person underneath the debris again.
The aftershock lasted for one or two minutes before calming down. However, the teaching building had completely collapsed by now. The newly fallen half-wall and rubble were firmly piled on top.
“William!”
This time, Nana was truly breaking down. Tears streamed down uncontrollably. She wanted to rush forward like a madwoman.
She had finally found William, and now another aftershock!
If William had really lost his life, what would she do?
“For safety reasons, let’s speed up!” The leading rescue team member said, and a few men started working frantically again.
Jane, seeing Nana in a state of shock, quickly embraced her shoulder, offering gentle reassurance.
“Don’t be afraid; William will be fine…”
“Jack! Quickly!” The rescue team leader shouted, and everyone worked together to lift the stone wall. Several men crouched down and crawled in to rescue the person. Jane didn’t let Nana see, covering her eyes with her hands until the rescue team leader exclaimed joyfully, “He’s alive! Ambulance! Stretcher! Hurry!”
Several people hurriedly carried out the man who had been buried under the rubble for a long time.
Nana paid no attention to anything else. She pushed away from Jane and looked down.
Her gaze fell on the man being carried out, and Nana’s body swayed.
It was William!
It was really William!
However, his clothes were torn beyond recognition, and his face and arms were covered in dust. His entire complexion was pale, and his lips were dry, especially his right leg. Not only was the pants ripped open, revealing a horrifying wound that had merged with denim due to the intense pressure, but the skin was torn apart.
As for the man, he kept his eyes tightly shut, clearly in a deep state of unconsciousness.
Nana, witnessing her boyfriend in this condition, was overwhelmed by the rushing chaos. She couldn’t utter a word, just stared blankly at everything before her.
The doctor from the rescue team, who accompanied them, quickly brought a stretcher. A few people placed William on the stretcher and carried him into the vehicle, with Nana and Jane following closely.
Nana knelt by the stretcher, clutching William’s hand. Tears fell drop by drop onto the back of his hand. “William, don’t scare me… You must be okay!”
Jane tightened her lips, watching the doctor examining William’s injuries. She inquired, “Doctor, how is William?”
In her assessment, William’s condition was not optimistic, especially the injury on his leg.
As expected, the doctor shook his head with a serious expression. “It’s not good. His condition is very critical now. Because he was trapped in the rubble for too long, and after the collapse of the teaching building, a large stone pressed against his leg. Combined with the strong vibrations, it’s already quite miraculous that he managed to hold on to his life. As for his right leg… the wound is too deep, the stone has compressed the muscles and nerves, and given the extended time, amputation is the only option, or else there’s a risk to his life.”
Amputation?!
Nana lifted her head in shock, tears streaking down her face, a look of disbelief in her eyes.
She instinctively tightened her grip on William’s hand, looking helplessly at the man still unconscious.
If they amputated, William would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
If he woke up and learned about this, he wouldn’t be able to bear it.
No, she couldn’t let William become disabled!
“Jane, think of something. We can’t let them amputate William,” Nana said, her voice trembling, her eyes red.
Jane patted Nana’s shoulder and sighed softly.
In this situation, finding William alive was already a blessing from heaven.
Carl looked at Nana, who was distraught, with a concerned gaze, feeling an inexplicable sense of discomfort. He had never seen a woman like Nana, willing to risk her life in a dangerous place with continuous aftershocks for a man. Now, she was heartbroken for him.
Carl instinctively walked over to Nana, tentatively holding her hand, choosing his words carefully to comfort her. “Nana, don’t worry. Your boyfriend has good fortune. He’ll be fine. Once he’s taken to the town hospital and undergoes surgery, everything will be okay. Don’t be too sad.”
Nana kept shaking her head, choking on her words. “No, we can’t let him amputate!”
Nana knew William’s strong personality. If he woke up and found himself without a right leg, it would be like taking his life away!
Jane stared at William’s right leg for a few minutes, pondering.
Although William’s injuries were severe, if Uncle Newton were here, he could save his leg.
For now, her plan was to administer an injection to William, get him to a safe place, and at the same time, call for Uncle Newton.
