Xu Haicheng didn't even dare to go any closer. There were so many blood-stained white sheets everywhere under the operating table, and the trash cans were full of blood-stained cotton. The situation was too horrific.
How much blood does a person have? This amount of bleeding is like draining all the blood from the body, leaving no chance of survival.
Xu Haicheng had seen many storms over the years, but this scene was the most shocking he had ever witnessed.
He covered his eyes with his hands, his chin and lips trembled a few times, and tears rolled down between his fingers.
"Please accept my condolences." The doctor said softly to Xu Haicheng, and slowly covered Ni Sitian's head with a white sheet.
Xu Haicheng trembled with grief, not knowing how he even managed to walk out of the blood-soaked delivery room.
After he went outside, he ran into Butler Wang, who was on the phone.
"Master, I got through to the young master on the phone. I didn't tell him about the young mistress's passing. I only told him that she had an accident and gave birth prematurely." Butler Wang's eyes also reddened when he saw Xu Haicheng like this. The young mistress was only twenty-three years old, so young. No one expected that she would be gone in such an accident.
"How am I supposed to tell Tingchuan? We brought Sitian in to take care of her, and now this has happened to her." Xu Haicheng clenched his fists tightly, filled with self-blame, grief, and even despair. He knew his son's feelings for Sitian; if he found out, the consequences...
My son can get here from the neighboring city in two or three hours at most. He'll probably be devastated if he finds out.
"Your wife is awake," the nurse told Xu Haicheng as she approached.
Xu Haicheng wiped away his tears and followed the nurse to the ward where Jin Rulan was temporarily staying.
When Jin Rulan saw Xu Haicheng's appearance, she knew he had been crying; his eyes were still red, and his expression was heavy.
“Sitian, Sitian, she…” Jin Rulan grabbed Xu Haicheng’s arm, looking up at him hoping to hear a different answer.
Xu Haicheng's eyes welled up with tears again. He shook his head at Jin Rulan and said in a hoarse voice, "I've already seen it."
"How could this happen..." Jin Rulan burst into tears, gripping Xu Haicheng's arm tightly, her nails digging into his clothes, her voice weak: "How could this be? She was fine before I went to the vegetable garden this afternoon, how could she just be gone like this? No, it can't be. Tingchuan said before he left that he might not be back tonight, and told me to take good care of her, how could she be gone?"
Xu Haicheng pulled her into his arms, unable to say a word, and completely unable to answer her questions.
Although he had seen it with his own eyes, it still didn't feel real. Just a few hours ago, it was alive and well, and now it was gone. It was too hard to accept.
Butler Wang stood outside the door, watching the master and mistress weeping in grief, and he couldn't help but shed tears as well.
By this time, it was completely dark, and the hospital lights gradually became brighter, but they could no longer illuminate the gloomy heart of the hospital.
Butler Wang's phone rang, and he answered it, saying "Hello."
"Are you a relative of Mr. Xu?" a strange, serious voice asked.
"Is something wrong?" Butler Wang's heart pounded with unease. He actually regretted telling Xu Tingchuan that the young mistress had an accident, but given the situation just now, he had told him in an emergency. After hanging up, he was afraid that Xu Tingchuan might have another accident while rushing on his way.
"This is a traffic police officer from Linhai. There has been a multi-vehicle collision on the Linyi Expressway. Mr. Xu was rear-ended and has been taken to XX Hospital. Your relatives should come here immediately." After saying this, the traffic police officer hung up the phone.
Butler Wang panicked and rushed into the ward, shouting, "Master, Madam, something terrible has happened! Young Master has been in a car accident!"
