After doing such a thing, the expected result was just this. It was already fortunate she wasn’t killed for it, and yet she dared to consider staying here?
But what the two bodyguards didn’t know was that just as they threw the nurse out, she stood at the hospital’s entrance and immediately took out her phone to make a call, "Hello..."
"Mr. Xia, I followed your orders and did it, but it was not... successful."
"Not successful? What do you mean by that? Did you mess it up?" The voice on the phone immediately rose several octaves at the words "not successful," and the tone became much more terrifying.
The nurse, panicked, quickly explained, "No, Mr. Xia, I did what I was supposed to, but the patient didn’t expire. I personally pulled her breathing machine, but she didn’t suffer any harm whatsoever."
"What I mean is... I pulled off the breathing machine, but then the bodyguard put it back on her. However, I always felt something was strange..." the nurse recalled the situation at hand.
Indeed, it was odd. Not to mention the way she had thrown the breathing machine down; she could not guarantee that it hadn’t broken, but from the moment she removed the breathing machine to when the bodyguard came in to put it back over the woman’s mouth and nose.
That was a whole twenty to thirty seconds, which, for a brain-dead patient who could only maintain a heartbeat with a ventilator, was fatal.
Yet, why was she completely unaffected?
The person on the phone was taken aback upon hearing this, "You mean to say that... she’s actually alive?"
The nurse shook her head, "I can’t be sure, but this matter is truly bizarre. Mr. Xia, it would be best if someone looked into it. I’ve been ejected from the hospital and can’t come back anymore. Mr. Xia, I..."
She didn’t continue her words, believing the person on the other end had already understood.
Indeed, upon mentioning this, the person inside said that the money had been transferred and then hung up the phone.
How could that be possible?
The man who hung up the phone could hardly believe it, but when he returned to the living room and saw that everyone had left, he still approached her, "Madam, there’s news from over there."
Upon hearing this, the woman in the hall, who had just been displaying profound grief in front of everyone, immediately sat upright and looked at him, "How did it go? Is it done?"
Xiaoxia frowned slightly, "There seems to be a bit of a complication."
"The nurse said... that woman is a bit odd, she’s fine even after the ventilator was removed."
As soon as these words were spoken, the woman sitting on the sofa was struck as if by lightning, her expression freezing entirely.
She’s fine even after the ventilator was removed?
What did that mean? Was she truly alive?!
She shuddered as her heart in her chest seemed to lose its rhythm, thudding violently, "Alive? Is that woman... truly alive?!"
Xiaoxia shook his head, but he didn’t speak further, his expression just as taut as hers, as if something was about to burst forth from his body!
This was indeed something shockingly unbelievable...
When La Chenxi received this news, he was at home practicing the piano, preparing for his own performance. Suddenly hearing this news, his fingers dancing across the black and white keys lost all strength, and after slamming down heavily, they emitted a jarring, buzzing sound.
