Chapter 444 Must Not Be Provoked Anymore

The timing was perfect: Li Lihua's death and Karina's attack and injury at the airport. So, this hit-and-run mission was really meant to kill Li Lihua, while Karina's situation... was just a smokescreen.

If that's really the case, then the mastermind behind it all must be the biggest beneficiary.

Su Youling unconsciously looked at Li Tingxi's face, and her eyes darkened when she saw the self-blame and pain on his face.

Besides Karina herself, who else could be the mastermind behind this?

Su Youling felt a chill run down her spine, a sense of dread that made her scalp tingle, and her blood seemed to slow down.

So Karina's elaborate scheme was designed to make Li Tingxi feel guilty, so that she could make amends and get him to stay.

Su Youling was horrified by this woman's terrifying appearance, especially after seeing Li Tingxi's current state, which made her feel even worse.

“Li Tingxi,” she pursed her dry lips, raised her hands to cup Li Tingxi’s face, forcing him to look at her, and then said seriously, “If I tell you…”

She wanted to tell Li Tingxi that Li Lihua was dead, and that Karina was very likely Shen Xiyue! She didn't want Li Tingxi to be deceived by that woman again and fall into deep self-reproach, suffering endless self-torture.

However, the operating room lights suddenly went out, and when the door opened, the surgeon was the first to come out.

Li Tingxi immediately released Su Youling and stepped forward.

Su Youling had a vague sense of unease.

The doctor removed his mask, his expression particularly grave: "Who are the patient's family members?"

Li Tingxi replied truthfully, "I am her friend."

The doctor frowned: "The patient's condition is not optimistic. You need to contact the patient's relatives as soon as possible and have them sign a critical condition notice. We need to communicate with the relatives about the subsequent treatment."

Upon hearing this, Su Youling unconsciously bit her lower lip and subconsciously looked at Li Tingxi's reaction.

But then Li Tingxi's tall and upright figure suddenly stood up.

It swayed slightly as if it were unsteady, and then fell to the side.

Upon hearing this devastating news, Li Tingxi felt a splitting headache, followed by a sensation as if a wire in his brain had snapped, and he lost consciousness the next second.

Su Youling turned pale with fright and immediately ran over.

Zhou Lang reacted faster than her and caught Li Tingxi before he fell to the ground.

"Li Tingxi, don't scare me!" Su Youling hugged Li Tingxi tightly, only to find that he had already fainted. She was immediately at a loss, and her eyes reddened instantly.

Zhou Lang remained calm and, with the doctor's help, escorted Li Tingxi to a ward.

After a preliminary diagnosis, the doctor confirmed that Li Tingxi had fainted due to a shock.

Su Youling stayed by the bedside without leaving for a moment, holding Li Tingxi's hand tightly. Her eyes were drawn to his pale face and the furrowed brows that remained even in his unconscious state.

She couldn't help but reach out and gently smooth out Li Tingxi's furrowed brows.

The Li Tingxi in front of her was somewhat unfamiliar to her; in her memory, Li Tingxi was someone who should always be upright and unyielding.

But the truth is that the mental torment she has endured over the past five years has severely damaged Li Tingxi.

She never expected that Karina would have such an influence on Li Tingxi, but she also trusted Li Tingxi and knew that it had nothing to do with love, but it was still a very tricky situation.

If Li Tingxi were told now that Karina is very likely Shen Xiyue, and that she hired someone to kill Li Lihua and orchestrated today's drama herself, could he bear it?

Su Youling deeply

She gazed at Li Tingxi's face, her eyes filled with heartache and worry.

Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside.

Su Youling turned her head and saw a completely unfamiliar face.

While she was still in a daze, the man had already stepped forward.

He first glanced at Li Tingxi on the hospital bed, then took out a business card and handed it to Su Youling, introducing himself concisely: "You must be Miss Rebecca? My name is Lu Cheng, I am Dr. Fang's junior colleague. He specifically contacted me to come and check on Mr. Li's condition."

Is he the genius junior brother that Dr. Fang praised so highly?

Su Youling took the business card, glanced at it, stood up, and shook hands with him solemnly. She said with gratitude and barely concealed eagerness, "That's great, Dr. Lu. Could you please do a thorough examination for Tingxi right now?"

Although the hospital doctors had already made a diagnosis, she still trusted the renowned genius doctor in front of her more.

Lu Cheng had come prepared and quickly gave his results after the examination: "Although I had learned about it from my senior brother and the medical records he sent, it seems that Mr. Li's brain sequelae are more serious than I expected."

Su Youling's expression tightened, and a thin layer of sweat unconsciously seeped out as she held Li Tingxi's hand.

Lu Cheng glanced at her face and continued, "One thing we need to pay special attention to is that Mr. Li absolutely cannot be stimulated again. Right now he is only unconscious, but he may develop other more serious symptoms later."

"For example? What symptoms?" Su Youling asked with some difficulty, her gaze fixed on Li Tingxi's face, feeling a tightness in her chest.

To make it easier for her to accept, Lu Cheng carefully said, "His current symptoms are only headaches, dizziness, insomnia, and occasionally nausea and vomiting, such as..."

If the effect is not suppressed, even memory may decline.

Seeing that the color in Su Youling's face was getting paler and paler, he paused, but still did not choose to downplay the seriousness of the matter: "If it is serious, epilepsy, hemiplegia, limb dysfunction, cognitive impairment, etc. are all possible. In short, everything is unknown."

Even though she was mentally prepared, Su Youling still felt a chill run down her spine when she heard this.

Is it really that serious?

She held Li Tingxi's hand and her hands began to tremble involuntarily.

In either case, she couldn't accept it. Li Tingxi was born a chosen one, he should be high above and arrogant, how could he become a useless person?

Lu Cheng looked at Li Tingxi lying on the hospital bed and felt a little sad. He knew that Su Youling needed some peace and quiet, so he silently left the ward and closed the door behind him.

Hearing the soft sound of the door closing, Su Youling completely dropped her last layer of pretense. Her shoulders slumped as if all her strength had left her, and she lifted Li Tingxi's hand to her face, her eyes involuntarily welling up with tears.

“Li Tingxi, you must get better. Don’t you still want Yangyang to accept you? If you really become paralyzed,” she choked up, “or forget everything between us, I definitely won’t want you anymore.”

At this moment, Li Tingxi's fingers twitched slightly, and his brows furrowed even more tightly, as if he had heard her words.

While Su Youling was immersed in sadness, Xia Zhiying and Li Mufeng arrived together.

Li Mufeng ran all the way into the hospital, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead when he entered.

Upon seeing the unconscious Li Tingxi, he immediately panicked: "Why hasn't he woken up yet after so long?"

Su Youling quickly wiped her eyes, stood up, and gestured for Li Mufeng to go outside to talk.
