Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 264 The Price of Life

"Huh? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had the password? How did you know the password? Forget it, this is not the place to talk, let's go out and talk slowly."

Haisang swallowed his words speechlessly, then walked out with his sister. Suddenly he thought of something, shouted "Wait a minute", and ran back, crawling under the bed.

McQueen sighed, "Why are you so busy? Wait and wait again. How many times do I have to wait for you?"

Haisang ran back with a small medicine bottle in his hand and said sheepishly, "I'm sorry, it's really okay now."

After the few people left, the police thoroughly searched the entire fifth underground floor and rescued more than 500 mermaids of different ages. They also discovered an inhumane biological laboratory on the fifth underground floor.

It turns out that mermaids who are old and have had their scales plucked out are taken for research by them to squeeze out their last bit of value.

The entire Water City is like a mirrored world, with the upper world being a paradise for the rich and the lower world being a devil’s den.

After the incident was exposed, the top management of Water City and all employees who knew about and participated in the incident were detained and awaiting justice.

Because it was too shocking, the Mermaid King chose to suppress it after learning about it, and only selected some content that would not cause panic to be announced in order to raise the safety awareness of his people.

But these are all later stories. After knowing that those people were fed to sharks, Sifos stopped paying attention. He only cared about Xu Weiwei.

That night, after leaving Water City, Xifos took her straight to the hospital. On the way, Xu Weiwei was already dazed and lost consciousness.

Later, she was awakened by the pain and found that she had arrived at the hospital, where the doctor was using tweezers and scissors to peel off the clothes on her upper body. In some places, the cloth and the blood clots were stuck together, and it was not easy to tear them off, which would inevitably cause the wound to split again.

Seeing Xu's face turn pale in pain, Sifos couldn't help but ask the doctor, "Can you give her some anesthesia?"

The doctor explained awkwardly, "Her fever is now 39.5°C. We do not recommend anesthesia in this situation."

"Dad...it's okay..."

Xu Weiwei stretched out her hand to Xifusi, who quickly held it and touched the back of her hand with his lips. Then he just sat by her bed, looking at her and wiping her sweat.

After taking off all the dirty clothes, the sheets under Xu Weiwei were already soaked with sweat.

Next, they cleaned the wound, drained the blood stasis, and applied medicine... Xu Weiwei said nothing, but just closed her eyes tightly, her eyelids trembling.

Sifos could not bear to watch the doctor's operation, but just held his daughter's hand tightly and pressed it against his forehead, hoping to give her some strength in this way. If possible, he wished he could bear the pain for his daughter.

After much difficulty, the wound was almost completely healed, with only the facial wound left. The doctor was extremely careful, but the gaze from the other side was too stressful, giving him the illusion that he would be beaten if he wasn't careful.

Sifos looked at the wound on Xu Weiwei's face and wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he resisted the urge to ask anything.

When it came to the bandaging stage, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, wiped the sweat off his face, and soothed his aching waist. This was the patient with the heaviest workload and the most stressful experience he had dealt with in recent years.

Because there were too many affected areas, Xu Weiwei's entire upper body was wrapped in white bandages, her legs were also wrapped several times, and her palm-sized face was also half covered.

After inserting an IV needle into her, the doctor said, "Don't let her sleep lying down. Try to let her sleep on her side. The medicine I prescribed for her contains saline and nutrient solution. Try not to let her eat anything in the first eight hours. After eight hours, she can take some liquid food and liquid food in moderation."

"She has been fitted with a temperature monitor. There is an automatic reminder device on the infusion set. You can see it directly at the nurse station after you get off. You don't have to watch her all the time. You can take a break if you feel sleepy."

Sifos hummed, stood up, raised his arm, made a "please" gesture, and followed the doctor out.

The doctor was flattered. He had never received such a high honor in his life that the imperial general could stand up and see him off.

As a result, Sifos just came out to ask questions.

"How long will it take for Wei'er's injuries to heal?" Sifos asked after walking a distance away.

"The force of the whipping was too great, and the child's flesh is tender. The condition is a little serious. It will take at least a month for him to fully recover."

"So..." Sifos looked down with a deep expression.

"Will it leave scars?" he asked.

"Scar... There will definitely be a scar. A careless cut with a knife will leave a shallow mark, let alone a cut this big. But after it heals, it can be removed with laser surgery... It won't leave any mark..." the doctor said carefully.

“Does this laser surgery hurt?”

"After the anesthesia wears off, you will be able to feel the pain..."

"I understand, thank you." After saying that, Sifos turned and went back to the ward.

The doctor took a deep breath, wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and walked away quickly.

A hotel not far from the hospital was fully booked tonight. All the rescued mermaids who were not seriously injured and had not yet been contacted by their guardians were placed here.

Because of McQueen, the siblings Haisan and Haikui received special treatment and were assigned a luxurious king-size room.

Staying in such a space made the two of them feel very cramped and uncomfortable.

McQueen sat in an armchair, crossed his legs, and pointed casually at the bed: "Sit."

Hai Sang moved a little, but when he saw the white bed sheet and then looked at himself, he lowered his head and refused: "No, no need."

McQueen crossed his fingers on his abdomen, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile: "Now you can tell me what happened after Wei'er went in? I want to know every detail."

Haisang glanced at him, then lowered his head, looked at the ground, and told him what had happened before.

When talking about the three people who got drunk tonight, Haisang suddenly fell silent, his expression suddenly became nervous, and he stopped talking.

McQueen looked at him, leaned back in his chair, and spoke slowly and low, like telling a story -

"I am Wei'er's uncle. I have watched her grow up. When I am with her, I feel that this little girl is everything to me. I will satisfy all her needs. I am not even sure if I can give my own child the same amount of love when I have him in the future."

Haisang was unconsciously attracted by McQueen and raised his head to listen to him carefully.

"Among these 'everything', human life is not excluded."

McQueen suddenly raised his eyes, and Haisang was stunned.

"Everything has a price, including human life. However, some lives are more valuable, while others are less valuable. In my opinion, the lives of those three people are ranked behind 'cheap' and are not worth mentioning at all."

"Erasing their existence is as easy as wiping the dust off the table. And this kind of thing usually doesn't require a rich lady like Wei'er to get involved, do you understand?"

"After listening to me for so long, can you tell me now?"
