Chapter 562 He Must Be Well
Outside the operating room.
Su Youling gripped Li Tingxi's hand tightly, her fingertips digging into his palm and scratching his skin without her noticing. "Where are Xingxing and Yangyang?"
“I’ve already had them sent back to the villa, and they’re being protected in layers… Someone reports to Qin He every now and then, so they’ll definitely be fine.” Li Tingxi’s heart was pounding.
"They are my life, the children I risked my life to bring into this world..." Su Youling stared nervously at the operating room light. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone out at a time like this. Yangyang is still so weak, yet he's been fighting so bravely against his illness. I, as his mother, have been so careless!"
"Su Su, don't blame yourself. If you hadn't come back in time..." Li Tingxi hugged her, suppressing his guilt and self-blame, and comforted her with an unprecedentedly gentle tone, "Yangyang will be alright. Professor Richard will definitely cure him. We have done so much preparation. The surgery was just brought forward. It will definitely be successful."
That's what he said, but he wasn't really sure himself.
Yangyang's physical condition was already not as good as that of normal children, and then he was injected with a harmful drug by that damned thing. Under such circumstances, performing surgery would be too much of a test for both the doctor and the patient.
That damn guy!
He will absolutely not let David off the hook.
Before long, Su Hong and Wen Xi rushed over after receiving the news. When they saw Su Youling with red, swollen eyes from crying, their hearts clenched.
Wen Xi got angry as soon as she saw Li Tingxi. "What are you good for? The three children have been born for so long, and you have never seriously fulfilled your responsibilities as a father. This time you were given a chance to show your abilities, and this is how you protect Yangyang?"
She grabbed Li Tingxi by the collar and said sternly, "If anything happens to Yangyang, I—"
"Wenxi, that's enough!" Qin He rushed over, looking at Li Tingxi's ashen face, afraid that he might kill Wenxi in a moment of emotional instability. "The president doesn't want to see this happen either. That David is a madman. It's all my fault for not investigating properly when I chose the bodyguard."
He was slapped as soon as he finished speaking.
Wen Xi's eyes were red, and tears were falling. "Why didn't you investigate properly? You're stuffing all sorts of shady people around Su Su. Are you here to protect her or to cause trouble?"
She loved and cared for her three children as if they were her own. Seeing the operating room light reminded her of Yangyang lying on the cold operating table, his life hanging by a thread, and her heart ached even more.
Seeing her on the verge of fainting and on the verge of collapse, Qin He's anger vanished instantly, replaced by heartache. "Don't cry. Professor Richard is here, everything will be alright. We're all here with Yangyang, he'll feel it."
"Hit me if you want." Li Tingxi looked at Wen Xi expressionlessly, his eyes filled with guilt and unease for the child, which seemed to be swallowing him whole.
Su Hong sighed, patted Wen Xi's shoulder, and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Xi, don't cry. I believe Yangyang will be strong. He can't bear to leave us..."
She forced herself not to cry out, and sat down next to Su Youling with a pale face. No matter how angry she was, she couldn't bear to say a word of reprimand when she saw Li Tingxi and Su Youling like this.
At this moment, no one was more anxious and worried than Li Tingxi and Su Youling, the parents.
Upon hearing this, Wen Xi glared fiercely at Li Tingxi, then burst into tears in Qin He's arms, crying, "That bastard! One slap was too easy on him."
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
Qin He nodded apologetically to Li Tingxi, then quickly took Wen Xi aside to comfort her, his eyes filled with worry.
Li Tingxi closed his eyes and saw Su Youling leaning against her mother with a listless look in her eyes. He didn't sit down to disturb the mother and daughter, but turned around and walked to the wall to lean against it.
The cold wall gradually brought his reason back, and he barely managed to suppress the raging anger and resentment within him—for a moment just now, he really wanted to kill David himself and use that man's blood to cheer Yangyang on.
The group stayed up all night without eating or drinking, during which time the hospital issued several critical condition notices.
Everyone was afraid that Su Youling would be the first to collapse, but unexpectedly, she refused Li Tingxi's signature and signed her name stroke by stroke with her own hand.
He remained silent throughout.
Seeing Su Youling's strength and loneliness made Li Tingxi feel even more heartache and guilt. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
At that moment, for the first time, he deeply felt that he was not good enough for Su Youling—she was a strong, independent, and indomitable mother, while he was a negligent and failed father.
Finally, as the first rays of dawn shone down on the hospital corridor, the red light in the operating room went out.
"I'm out!" Wen Xi kicked her leg and jumped up from Qin He's arms, staggering to the operating room door.
When she saw Professor Richard come out, she almost collapsed to her knees.
Qin He quickly helped Wen Xi to stand aside and whispered, "It's okay, it's okay, everything will be alright."
“Professor Richard, Yangyang, he…” Su Youling walked over step by step, each step seemingly magnified infinitely, as if time had almost stopped at this moment.
She heard her own heart pounding, her throat dry. "How is he?"
Professor Richard opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Li Tingxi suddenly rushed up, covered Su Youling's ears, and calmly said, "He must be alright."
Professor Richard looked at the bloodshot eyes and the involuntary trembling of his facial muscles, and while sighing, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
What kind of time is this to be acting like a domineering CEO!
There is no hierarchy before death; who are you trying to scare?
Professor Richard took off his mask, smiled despite his dark circles, and said, "Although this surgery was fraught with difficulties, the patient was very strong and cooperated with me in fighting the disease. In the end, he bravely pulled through."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Tingxi relaxed a bit, bent down and hugged Su Youling, his voice hoarse as he said, "Our son is alright, he's very strong, just like you."
When Su Youling realized she was being pulled into an embrace, her mind went blank for a moment before she realized what he had said. She hugged Li Tingxi tightly and exclaimed, "It's alright! That's great!"
Shortly after, the nurse transferred Yangyang to the ICU for further observation.
Everyone could only look through the window at the child in the hospital bed covered in tubes. They felt sorry for the child, but more than anything, they felt a sense of relief and joy at surviving such a close call.
That's great, the little one pulled through.
“That fake doctor switched Yangyang’s medicine. He was malicious and actually tried to poison such a young child!” Professor Richard also looked shaken. “Fortunately, you stopped him in time. Yangyang didn’t take too much medicine, and the dosage wasn’t fatal. He’s pulled through this time, and that will be a new beginning.”
