She suddenly raised her head and glared at him with icy eyes.
"No, what do you want?"
Fu Xingzhou felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw the coldness and resistance in her eyes.
He gripped her arm, his strength unconsciously increasing slightly.
"Explain yourself!" His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a hint of suppressed anger.
"What exactly did the doctor say? Is your condition serious?" His eyes were filled with worry, fixed on her face, afraid of missing any subtle expression.
Li Susu felt a little impatient with his worried gaze, and her irritation intensified.
She forcefully shook off his hand, her tone laced with sarcasm.
"What, Mr. Fu, are you concerned about me?"
Seeing her distant and resistant attitude, Fu Xingzhou felt even more uneasy.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger and worry in his heart.
"I just wanted to know how you were doing, Su Su, don't be like this."
Li Susu sneered, her eyes filled with mockery.
"President Fu's concern is really cheap."
She paused, then her tone suddenly became sharp.
"If I die on the operating table, does that mean our bet is no longer valid?"
Fu Xingzhou was stung by her words, and his face turned pale instantly.
He looked at her, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Su Su, what are you saying?" His voice trembled, carrying a hint of barely perceptible panic.
Ignoring his reaction, Li Susu continued, "I was just saying, why is President Fu so nervous?"
Her eyes darted around, avoiding Fu Xingzhou's gaze, her tone tinged with weariness and irritation.
"I'm feeling really confused and need some peace and quiet. Please don't follow me, and don't call me Su Su anymore, I'm not Su Su."
After she finished speaking, she left without looking back, leaving Fu Xingzhou standing there alone, watching her departing figure with a complicated expression.
He was filled with worry and unease, yet he didn't know what to do.
After Li Susu walked out, she stepped on the gas pedal and the black sedan sped away like an arrow.
The roar of the engine exploded in the air, venting her current frustration and unease.
She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles white, and her palms sweating.
In the rearview mirror, Fu Xingzhou's figure grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely.
Li Susu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her wildly beating heart.
Fu Xingzhou returned to Under Armour Clinic.
He strode toward the doctor's office, a wave of worry washing over him.
"Doctor, how is she?"
His tone was hurried, and his eyes were filled with anxiety.
The old expert took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, and spoke in a somber tone.
"The situation is not optimistic. The blood clot in the brain is compressing the nerves, and surgery is needed as soon as possible."
He paused, then continued, "The success rate of the surgery is only seventy percent."
"A 30% risk of failure is indeed quite high."
Fu Xingzhou's heart sank, and his face turned pale instantly.
"Is there any other way?"
His voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with hope.
The old expert shook his head, his tone helpless.
"This is currently the only way to eradicate it. Whether the memory can be recalled is secondary; the most important thing is to remove the blood clot in the brain."
He looked at Fu Xingzhou and said earnestly, "You young people had better distinguish between what is important and what is urgent."
Fu Xingzhou remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
