The next moment, the operating room lights suddenly went out and the door slowly opened, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.
Seeing the doctor with a furrowed brow emerge from the operating room, Li Ruo immediately went to greet him, her face full of worry, and asked, "Doctor, how is my mother?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a hospital bed was wheeled out of the operating room behind the doctor.
At this moment, Jiang Luo was lying on the bed, pale and weak, with a ventilator on.
Seeing her appearance, Li Ruo's mind went blank for a moment, and she immediately rushed over: "Mom..."
Unfortunately, Jiang Luo was unconscious and couldn't hear Li Ruo's calls at all.
"What exactly is going on?"
Li Ruo frowned, her voice gradually choking up.
Fortunately, at this moment, the doctor spoke up: "You guys take the patient to the ward first, and use all the machines."
Upon hearing this, the nurses nodded and then pushed the hospital bed away.
Seeing this, the doctor looked at Li Ruo and whispered, "The patient's condition is not good. Did she have a history of heart disease?"
Upon hearing the doctor's question, Jiang Ze nodded: "Yes, my mother has rheumatic heart disease, and she's had it for many years."
The doctor was not surprised by this expected answer. He pursed his lips and said, "The patient has developed heart failure due to this heart disease, so you, the family, need to be prepared. There is a high risk that she may have to go back to the operating room at any time. Also, because her condition is unstable, she needs to be hospitalized for observation. You need to arrange for someone to accompany her during this period."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo's face grew even more pale, and she felt a wave of fear wash over her.
She dared not even imagine what would have happened if she hadn't delivered Jiang Luo's document on time today.
Thinking of this, Li Ruo's face grew even more unpleasant.
While she remained silent, the doctor gave her some more instructions before turning and leaving.
Watching his retreating figure, Li Ruo thought for a moment, then looked at Jiang Ze beside her, whose brows were furrowed and whose face was not looking good: "Brother, don't worry. Although it's a bit dangerous during this period, we're in the hospital, and the doctors know what's going on."
Seeing her clearly fragile and anxious appearance, yet still trying to comfort him, Jiang Ze pursed his lips and then sighed: "That's true, but you know what kind of person Mom is, and this is such a big deal, how can I not feel at ease?"
His voice was soft, and he couldn't help but pat Li Ruo's shoulder as he spoke.
It was an ordinary action, but in the eyes of Wen Huaiyan, who was standing to the side, it made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
However, neither of them noticed his unusual behavior. Looking at Jiang Ze's haggard face, Li Ruo sighed, "I know you've been overwhelmed with that matter lately, so I don't want you to be even more upset..."
As she spoke, she lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a pang of self-reproach in her heart.
Jiang Luo and her son had helped her so much, and she wanted to help Jiang Ze share some of the burden, but she never expected...
"I know!"
Seeing her hesitant expression, Jiang Ze took a small step forward and grasped her shoulder.
Seeing this, Wen Huaiyan's expression grew colder. He parted his thin lips slightly, intending to say something, but before he could speak, Li Ruo's cold rejection flashed through his mind again.
His eyes flickered slightly, but he ultimately said nothing and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Wen Zhi was overjoyed and hurriedly followed behind him.
Once they were in the car, Wen Zhi noticed Wen Huaiyan's rather unpleasant expression in the rearview mirror and could no longer hold back: "Brother, don't you think those two people went a bit too far?"
Upon hearing Wen Zhi's words, Wen Huaiyan suddenly raised his eyes, but only gave her a faint glance.
However, this indifferent demeanor was interpreted as tacit approval by Wen Zhi.
She was secretly pleased and continued, "You kindly sent his mother over, and he not only doesn't appreciate it, but he's also so mean to you, brother. He really doesn't know what's good for him. Besides, I don't think Li Ruo is a good person either. How can you let your nominal brother treat you like this? Brother, I feel sorry for you."
Hearing Wen Zhi's muttered complaints, Wen Huaiyan's eyes darkened immediately: "Then, in your opinion, what would be more appropriate?"
Wen Zhi didn't notice the somber tone in Wen Huaiyan's voice and assumed he agreed with her. She immediately started rambling on, "In my opinion, she should at least be a little more polite to you, instead of stringing you along like this. Didn't you see how intimate she was with that man? If you ask me, they're not related by blood, so it's completely inappropriate..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wen Huaiyan slammed on the brakes, and Wen Zhi's head slammed hard against the back of the seat: "Ouch, brother, what happened?"
She frowned, rubbing her head which had been bruised, and looked up at Wen Huaiyan.
Upon meeting that icy gaze, he immediately lost his temper and stammered, "Brother, you..."
"Didn't I tell you before not to gossip behind people's backs?"
Wen Huaiyan's thin lips pressed into a straight line, and he suddenly spoke.
