Ni Sitian woke up briefly in the ambulance, her mind drifting in and out of consciousness.
Upon hearing the doctor tell the nurse that it might be acute appendicitis and that surgery would be needed, the nurse was asked to contact the family.
She desperately wanted to speak, but the pain left her with no strength to do so.
It's unclear who they contacted in the end, but she arrived at the hospital and was wheeled into the emergency operating room.
After being given anesthesia, her consciousness drifted further away, and she only vaguely felt the cold blade slid open her side.
Although she felt no pain at the moment, lying on the cold operating table made her feel lonely and scared.
She didn't know what the doctor was cutting, but when she forced her eyes open, all she saw was blood, clumps of blood.
She lowered her eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Go outside and inform the patient's family that there is a tumor near the patient's appendix. Go and ask if they agree to have it removed," the surgeon told the nurse.
The nurse hurried outside, returned a while later, and informed the doctor that the family had agreed to the removal.
Ni Sitian felt the incision on her abdomen widen a few centimeters. She gradually lost her warmth on the operating table and eventually fell into a coma, not knowing how long the surgery lasted.
The person waiting outside was Qin Mubei.
Perhaps because he was Ni Sitian's last known contact, when the hospital called to tell him that Ni Sitian needed to have surgery, he immediately rushed over and signed the surgical consent form.
Ni Sitian has been inside for almost an hour now, and the nurse just said they found a tumor. He's standing outside feeling very uneasy.
"Sir, Miss Ni's phone keeps ringing." The nurse walked up to Qin Mubei with Ni Sitian's phone and handed it to him.
Qin Mubei picked up the phone and saw that it was Xu Tingchuan calling, so he answered it.
"Are you asleep?" It was afternoon for Xu Tingchuan. He had just finished a long meeting with his partners and was feeling a bit tired, so he wanted to call and hear Ni Sitian's voice.
“Mr. Xu, it’s me.” Since learning Xu Tingchuan’s identity, Qin Mubei hadn’t dared to offend him as much as before, but this time he still couldn’t suppress his anger. Ni Sitian was in the operating room, and her husband didn’t know anything about it.
When Xu Tingchuan heard Qin Mubei's voice, he frowned slightly, as if history was repeating itself.
Why is Ni Sitian with Qin Mubei so late at night?
“Mr. Qin, please hand the phone to my wife,” Xu Tingchuan said in a calm voice.
"Heh, so you still know Sitian is your wife? How have you been taking care of her?! She's in the operating room right now, and where are you?!" Qin Mubei tried his best to control his emotions, but he still couldn't help but question her.
Xu Tingchuan's heart skipped a beat, his breath caught in his throat, and he asked urgently, "Why is she in the operating room?"
Knowing he couldn't afford to offend Xu Tingchuan, Qin Mubei took a deep breath, composed himself, and said in a low voice, "The appendectomy has been going on for almost an hour. The nurse just came out and said there's a tumor next to it that needs to be removed, so the surgery will have to be extended."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tingchuan's expression turned very unpleasant.
At this moment, Assistant Yu walked in and reported: "President Xu, regarding the acquisition, Mr. Dracula said he is willing to back out on the existing basis..."
"Book the next available flight back to China!" Xu Tingchuan interrupted Assistant Yu.
Assistant Yu paused for a moment, then hesitated: "But Mr. Xu, you must be present for the contract to be signed this afternoon."
"I said I want to go back to China! Now! Right now!" Xu Tingchuan gripped his phone tightly, stood up, and walked out.
Seeing his expression, Assistant Yu dared not say anything more and immediately turned to get to work.
