It Was a Good Plan, but Then You Ran into Luo Chen / Call the Medical Team at Once. I'll Cover the Cost of Saving Them

At the sight of this, Nine's heart tightened, and she immediately realized something was wrong.

She crouched down, trying to keep her voice calm and gentle. "Don't panic. Take your time and tell me what happened."
