Shen Zihao frowned and was about to say something when his cell phone rang.
He picked up the call and, after listening to the other party, he shot up from his seat and said, “I’ll be right there!”
Ignoring whatever Shen Xiu was saying earlier, he ran out of the house, started up the car and drove away.
When Mei Feng heard the commotion, she walked in and looked at Shen Xiu, asking him, “What happened?”
The man frowned and pointed at the doorway angrily, saying, “What happened? I want to know what happened too!”
He got up, walked out of the study in a huff and saw Xia Nuannuan in the living room. He asked her, “Xia Nuannuan, where has Shen Zihao gone?”
She looked at him with a puzzled expression and replied, “Dad, I- I don’t know…”
“Don’t know, you don’t know anything when asked! You’re his wife! How could you not know where he’s gone?!” Shen Xiu was just throwing his temper around.
Xia Nuannuan didn’t argue with him, but instead hung her head and said, “Yes, Dad. I understand. The next time I’ll make sure I ask him.”
Shen Xiu found himself unable to continue throwing his temper at the gentle girl. He fell silent.
Mei Feng stood behind him, glaring at Xia Nuannuan and seeing that there was little sincerity in her expression. A deep thought flashed through her mind.
This Xia Nuannuan was a smart girl, and she knew how to get by in this household.
How could she tolerate such a person in their home?
–
At the hospital.
Shen Liangchuan had been sent to the emergency room.
Qiao Lian and Xia Yehua stood outside, looking anxiously at the situation in the operating room.
Xia Yehua was slightly calmer, but she was stumped. “What happened? Liangchuan has always been healthy. Why would he suddenly pass out?”
Qiao Lian’s eyes were bloodshot as she stared at the door of the operating room. She didn’t know how to answer that question.
At this point, they heard footsteps along the corridor. They turned around and saw Shen Zihao walking up to them hurriedly.
He was slightly out of breath, as he had been running. Taking deep breaths and staring at the operating room door, he asked, “How’s Big Brother?”
Qiao Lian was unable to speak.
She was at a complete loss.
Her mind was blank.
What happened to Shen Liangchuan?
Hadn’t he just been getting better?
Why had he passed out all of a sudden?
Biting her lip and clenching her fists tightly, she continued staring at the door.
After a while, the door swung open and Shen Liangchuan was pushed out on a trolley bed.
Qiao Lian quickly run up and asked the doctor in a trembling voice, “Doctor, how is he?”
Xia Yehua and Shen Zihao too, looked at the doctor with great concern in their expressions.
Looking at them, the doctor frowned slightly and said, “It’s not terribly serious.”
He gave the nurses instructions and had Shen Liangchuan pushed to the ward next door. Then, looking at the three of them again, he said, “Why don’t you come to my office? We’ll talk there.”
They followed the doctor into his office. After he sat down, he said, “The patient is not in a serious condition, he merely fainted and now he’s asleep. We’ve examined him thoroughly and we don’t really know what caused him to pass out. He doesn’t have low sugar, but his blood pressure is a little unsteady, and it seems like he was extremely exhausted… as though he hadn’t slept for a long time.”
He hadn’t slept for a long time…
When Qiao Lian heard this, her legs went weak suddenly and she took a step back.
All this time, she had thought that while in Hainan, he had been getting good sleep.
But… she was wrong.
He had only been staging a very good performance.
