"I want to see who isn't afraid of death."
His face was calm and his tone was indifferent, but for some reason, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines, making them tremble with fear.
Mu Zeyu was slammed hard against the wall, the pain making his face contort, unable to utter a single word.
With such a tragic example as Mu Zeyu, no one else dared to step forward and risk their lives.
Ji Zhixia still has to wait for someone to rescue her from the clutches of evil. Whether it's Aunt Min or Mu Zeyu, they've all been kicked aside.
She belatedly realized she was scared and looked at Ji Zhinan with a terrified expression.
She's a madwoman, an incurable madwoman!
Ji Zhinan's smile was sinister and eerie. She leaned down slightly, getting very close to Ji Zhixia, and could even hear Ji Zhixia's rapid breathing.
She leaned close to Ji Zhixia's ear, speaking in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Miss Ji, what do you think your good parents would say if I killed you now?"
"..."
She curled her lips into a smile and said earnestly, word by word, "I can send you to the morgue, but can you send me to the police station?"
"..."
Ji Zhixia was truly terrified and cried uncontrollably. Between sobs, she said, "I am Grandpa's granddaughter, his only biological granddaughter... If you kill me, how can you face Grandpa?"
"You dare mention Grandpa?!"
"..."
Ji Zhinan gritted his teeth: "I only let you go time and time again because of Grandpa. If it weren't for Grandpa, I would have killed you during that fire!"
Regardless of what happened to Ji Pengfei's family of three, Grandpa Ji had given her warmth and exclusive affection for two lifetimes, from her past life to this one, and she was grateful to him.
That's why, as Ji Zhixia was her grandfather's only granddaughter, she let Ji Zhixia go time and time again.
Otherwise, how could she have survived until now?
Tears streamed down Ji Zhixia's face, and her vision began to blur. This was the first time she had ever felt so close to death.
Her oxygen deprivation was getting worse, and she started rolling her eyes back.
Just when she thought she was going to die—
The light in the "Operation in Progress" window suddenly went out, the emergency room door opened, and Qin Yu and the chief surgeon, both wearing white coats, walked out.
Ji Zhinan immediately released Ji Zhixia and rushed forward.
How is my grandfather?
Qin Yu pulled off his mask, his expression somewhat grave.
"The old man is getting on in years, and his body is not as strong as that of a young person. In addition, he fell down the stairs from the second floor and was seriously injured. He has fractures of varying degrees in both hands and legs."
"..."
How... are you so badly injured?
"Fortunately, our hospital's orthopedic doctors are world-renowned, so there's no need to worry about that. After all, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, so it will get better in a while."
Having said that, Qin Yu stopped talking.
Gu Yibei noticed his hesitation: "Tell us directly if there's anything else."
Qin Yu looked at Gu Yibei, then at Ji Zhinan, and sighed: "We can treat the fractures in his body, but the key issue is that the old man suffered a severe concussion and brain hemorrhage. Although his life was saved, his brain was damaged. As you know, the brain is the most complex part of the human body, and sometimes even we doctors are powerless to help him."
“You need to be prepared for a long time. It is possible that... the old man will lose the ability to communicate with the outside world, which is what we usually call a vegetative state.”
"..."
Happy Women's Day, my darlings! You are all my most beautiful fairies, mwah!
