Chapter 517 Critical Illness Notice
Ji Wan suddenly raised her head, her heart in her throat, and Lin Chuxia nervously helped her stand up.
The door opened and a doctor in a white coat came out with a serious expression.
"Doctor! How is my husband?!" Ji Wan rushed forward, his voice trembling.
The doctor took off his mask and sighed heavily. "The patient has lost excessive blood. Although his life has been saved for now, the situation is very grim. He has intracranial hemorrhage and multiple organ damage. We have done our best. This is the critical illness notice. Please sign it. The patient needs to be transferred to the intensive care unit immediately."
"Critical Illness...Notice..."
These five words were like five poisonous blades that pierced Ji Wan's heart.
Her world was spinning.
Her body swayed and she almost fainted. Lin Chuxia held her tightly and cried, "Doctor! Please! Please save my brother! I don't care how much it costs!"
The doctor shook his head: "We will do our best, but you must also be mentally prepared."
The assistant took the critical illness notice and pen with trembling hands and handed them to Ji Wan.
Ji Wan looked at the thin piece of paper, but felt that it was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Her fingers were shaking so badly that she could hardly hold a pen.
Every word seemed to be torturing her heart.
She wrote the two words "Ji Wan..." for a very long time, and every stroke seemed to use up all her strength.
After signing, she looked as if her soul had been drained out and her face was ashen.
The door of the emergency room opened again, and Chi Wenyan was pushed out. His body was full of various tubes, his face was covered with an oxygen mask, his eyes were closed, and there was no sign of life.
"Wen Yan!" Ji Wan rushed over but was stopped by the nurse.
"The patient needs to be sent to the ICU immediately. Family members please wait outside."
Ji Wan could only watch him being pushed to the place that symbolized the end of his life, and her heart was broken into pieces.
Outside the intensive care unit, there were cold seats and pale lights.
Ji Wan just sat there quietly, motionless, like a lifeless sculpture. Lin Chuxia stayed by her side, sobbing from time to time, and urged her to take a rest, but she just shook her head.
She would stay with him and not leave him even for a moment.
Time passed by minute by minute, and every second felt like being roasted in a frying pan.
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Wan's phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
She picked up the phone numbly: "Hello?"
"Madam! This is bad! This is Aunt Zhang, the villa's maid!" A woman's anxious voice came from the other end of the line. "Miss Su... Miss Su took advantage of the chaos and ran away! We couldn't get through to Mr. Chi, so we thought of calling you..."
Su Jiujiu...ran away?
Ji Wan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
That woman, running away at this time? What did she want to do?!
Chi Wenyan's life or death is uncertain, while Su Jiujiu, the culprit, has escaped!
"I understand." Ji Wan's voice was icy cold without a trace of warmth, and he hung up the phone.
She looked at the tightly closed door of the ICU, and in addition to pain, her eyes were filled with a bone-chilling coldness and determination.
Su Jiujiu, you'd better pray that Wen Yan is okay.
Otherwise, I, Ji Wan, will never let you go even if it costs me my life!
It’s late at night.
The lights in the corridor outside the ICU were so pale that they were without a trace of warmth, reflecting Ji Wan's equally pale face.
Lin Chuxia leaned on Ji Wan's shoulder, having cried herself to the point of exhaustion, her eyelids drooping heavily. "Sister-in-law...you...you take a nap for a while, I'll watch over you..."
Her voice was hoarse and nasal.
Ji Wan gently patted the back of her hand, his voice low but unusually sober: "Chu Xia, go back and rest first. I'm here."
"I won't..." Lin Chuxia shook her head violently, tears welling up again, "Brother is still in there, how can I leave?"
"Be obedient." Ji Wan's voice left no room for argument. "Your presence here only distracts me. Go back and have a good sleep. Get enough rest. Tomorrow... there may be many things I need you for."
Her eyes cast towards the closed door of the ICU, where lay the most important person in her life, as well as all her hopes and despair.
Lin Chuxia looked at Ji Wan's bloodshot but extremely determined eyes and knew that it was useless to persuade him any further.
She choked and nodded: "Okay, ... sister-in-law, you... you must hold on. If anything happens, call me immediately."
"Yeah." Ji Wan responded and watched Lin Chuxia leave, looking back every few steps.
The corridor returned to deathly silence, with only Ji Wan left.
The tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment after Lin Chuxia left.
The immense sadness and fear overwhelmed her like a tide. She covered her mouth, suppressed sobs escaping through her fingers, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Wen Yan,...my Wen Yan,...you must not be in any harm!
Tears blurred her vision, but she stubbornly refused to close her eyes, staring at the door as if she wanted to stare through it.
After an unknown amount of time, she tremblingly took out her cell phone and called Chi Wenyan's assistant.
"Madam?" The assistant's voice was filled with a hint of surprise and deep fatigue.
"Have you found out?" Ji Wan's voice was hoarse, but it carried an undeniable sense of oppression. "Who is it? Who hurt him like this?"
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds. The assistant's voice was filled with helplessness and apology. "Madam, I'm sorry... The surveillance on the road where the incident occurred is broken. The other vehicle has a fake license plate. For now... for now, there are no leads. We are fully investigating. I will report to you as soon as we have any information."
"Waste!" Ji Wan growled, his chest heaving violently.
The surveillance camera is broken? A cloned car? This is clearly premeditated murder!
She hung up the phone, her fingertips white from the effort.
Waiting for news from the police? She couldn't wait! That bitch Su Jiujiu had escaped, and now someone was trying to kill Wen Yan!
A glint of cruelty flashed across her eyes. She quickly searched through her phone's address book and found a long-forgotten number.
The call was connected, and a lazy male voice with a hint of cynicism came from the other end: "Hey, rare guest, Miss Ji, why did you think of calling me? Have you finally figured out that you want to dump Chi Wenyan and elope with me?"
"Ghost Hand," Ji Wan's voice was icy cold. "Help me find someone. Su Jiujiu, the president of the Su Group. I want her latest whereabouts, the sooner the better. You name the price."
The man known as "Ghost Hand" whistled. "Su Jiujiu? Interesting. However, I never ask why. I'll give you information in three hours. As for the price... I'll owe you for now and tell you when I think of it."
"Okay." Ji Wan hung up the phone decisively. Ghost Hand was a top hacker she had known since her youth. As long as he took action, there was no one he couldn't find.
Su Jiujiu, you can't escape!
After dealing with this matter, Ji Wan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. The news of Wen Yan's accident must not be spread!
