“Luckily, the blood clot in Miss Fang’s head is now no longer pressing on her nerves, but it hasn’t been dissolved or absorbed. It could cause unforeseen consequences no matter where the blood flow may carry it,” the attending doctor informed everyone of the patient’s condition.
He continued, “Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, we performed a second craniotomy on Miss Fang. This is a very high-risk surgery, but fortunately, it was very successful. Next, we’ll have to see the prognosis. She should be fine if all her indicators show signs of recovery after forty-eight hours.”
Ye Kun had signed so many consent forms and other medical documents that night that his hand was cramped. He was extremely stressed, to the point that a feather was enough to crush him. When he heard the doctor’s words, his entire body swayed. Shi Nian quickly supported him, patted his shoulder sympathetically, and helped him to a chair.
“Don’t worry. Fang Xi’s a lucky girl; she’ll make it through. Besides, she promised you she would hang in there. She’ll definitely keep her word,” Shi Nian comforted him. Eyes red, Ye Kun nodded and rubbed his face with his hands.
Yun Nan was also finally relieved and leaned against Shi Nian, relaxing as the tension left her body. Shi Nian hugged her, kissed her gently on the forehead, and murmured, “You stay here and accompany Ye Kun. He’s really fragile right now. I’ll get Shi Xiu to bring you guys some food and daily necessities later. I’ll go deal with something else first.”
So saying, he glanced at Xi Cheng, sitting far away on the other side. The guy had also stayed up the entire night. Yun Nan glared hatefully at Xi Cheng and turned her head away, whereas Ye Kun didn’t even look at him.
Shi Nian walked over and stood before Xi Cheng. “Let’s go. I’ll send you home.”
Xi Cheng got up, swaying slightly. “Fang Xi’s fine now, right?” He’d also heard the doctor’s words—he just wanted to verify them again.
Shi Nian looked at him. In the end, he took pity on him and said lightly, “1 hope so. I’ll send you home; your staying here isn’t going to fix anything.”
Xi Cheng lowered his head and didn’t move his feet. Shi Nian sighed, “Go home. You were a stranger when she didn’t remember anything, and should she remember you, you’re worse than a stranger. Xi Cheng, why bother?”
Xi Cheng choked out, “I… I regret it all so much.” But what’s done is done; there’s no use crying over spilled milk.
Xi Cheng had just gotten into Shi Nian’s car when his phone rang. “Young Master, where are you? Come to the hospital, quick! Madam fell down the stairs! She’s badly injured. Come quickly!” His butler, Mr. Zhou, shouted hoarsely and anxiously over the phone.
Xi Cheng panicked. “What?! What did you say? Mom—Which hospital is she at?” Shi Nian hurriedly stepped on the brakes and watched as a few familiar faces from the Xi family ran past in front of their car. Seeing them, Xi Cheng rushed out.
Lin Yu’s hands were covered in blood as she grabbed the doctor’s sleeve and begged, “Please, please save my mother. Please, I beg you!”
Xi Cheng went forward and pulled her back. When Lin Yu saw that it was Xi Cheng, she burst into tears and sobbed, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I didn’t take good care of her. It’s my fault; it’s all my fault!”
Xi Cheng calmly took the surgery consent form from the doctor and signed his name, saying, “Doctor, please! I leave my mother in your care!”
When the doctor went into the operating room, Xi Cheng held Lin Yu, who was crying on him, up and asked, “How did Mom get injured?”
Lin Yu cried so hard that she couldn’t catch her breath and didn’t answer. Xi Cheng’s gaze then landed on the butler. Mr. Zhou’s expression was helpless and resentful as he replied, “Young Master, Madam heard that you were tangling with another woman again and wanted to go look for you. Young Madam didn’t manage to stop her. Madam lost her footing when she came down the stairs and… *Sigh!* Young Master! You—Madam was furious…”
What Mr. Zhou was implying was very obvious. Xi Cheng’s mother found out he’d gone to see Fang Xi and got injured when she wanted to go find him. “Who told Mom about it?” Xi Cheng asked Lin Yu.
Lin Yu’s eyes were red and swollen. She bit her lip and turned her head away, avoiding his gaze. Mr. Zhou stomped his foot and chided, “Young Master!
Young Madam is innocent; don’t wrongly accuse her! Madam knew about what happened that day you two went to try on your wedding attire. It wasn’t Young Madam who told her about it; Madam heard the staff in the bridal shop talking about it when she went to look at the wedding dress!”
Xi Cheng looked at Lin Yu apologetically and said softly, “I’m sorry.” Lin Yu turned around and leaned against the wall, crying so hard that her shoulders shook. Mr. Zhou sighed heavily.
Xi Cheng took out his phone and called Shi Nian, asking him to help arrange the best doctors for his mother. ‘Fang Xi and Mom both suffered head injuries,’ he thought. ‘Since the doctors could save Fang Xi, then they could definitely save Mom. After all, FangXi was so badly injured, whereas Mom had only fallen down the stairs.’
Xi Cheng sat down on the chair after he arranged everything, took a deep breath, and rubbed his face vigorously..
