Chapter 68

..............................

The Wang Yang families were all arrested without a single person left, and the surveillance cameras outside captured their actions and ugly faces clearly. Xu Xiping went along to handle the situation, while Lu Lingchuan and Lu Lingchen rushed Li Mingshi to the hospital immediately.

At the entrance of the emergency room, Lu Yanhua sat on a chair, head lowered and unusually silent. Lu Lingchen kept staring in the direction of the emergency room door, while Lu Lingchuan leaned against the cold wall by the emergency room entrance, eyes closed, his emotions unreadable.

Not far away at the corner, Shen Nian stood there, gazing blankly in the direction of the emergency room, waiting in a daze.

Finally, the lights in the emergency room went off, and the door opened. A doctor came out, and the father and sons immediately rushed over.

Lu Yanhua's eyes were red as he hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my wife?!"

The doctor took off his mask, his expression not looking too good. "There is no immediate danger to her life at the moment."

"Then why did my wife vomit blood?!"

Earlier when Li Mingshi vomited blood, Lu Yanhua felt like his world was crumbling.

Five years ago, he lost his only daughter. He could not imagine what a fatal blow it would be if anything happened to his wife again.

"This..."

Seeing the grave expression on the doctor's face, Lu Lingchuan said in a solemn voice, "Please speak frankly if there is anything."

The doctor sighed heavily. "Based on my years of experience, this is just a speculation for now. I cannot make arbitrary claims before the accurate results come out. My suggestion is to conduct a full body check-up for the patient first."

"........." The doctor's grave demeanor indicated that the situation was heading in an unfavorable direction.

...........................

Shen Nian left only after seeing Li Mingshi coming out of the emergency room.

She went straight into a public restroom.

Standing in front of the sink, she looked at her own reflection in the mirror.

She looked a bit disheveled, with her elbow scraped from bumping onto the ground while trying to stop someone earlier.

Her peripheral vision caught something, and she glanced sideways to notice an eyebrow razor left on the adjacent sink, probably forgotten by someone who had been doing makeup and the cleaning lady had not yet gotten around to removing it.

Shen Nian picked it up, unfolded the razor, turned on the faucet, and held it under the water stream.

She stared at her left wrist and placed it under the water stream as well.

"Yes... yes..." Lu Yanhua had never looked so haggard and disheveled before.

At this moment, he was like a soulless child, muttering repeatedly, "It will be fine, it will be fine..."

He and Mingshi had been together for 27 years, but it wasn't enough. How could she be so cruel as to let go of his hand and leave him?

"So currently, the most pressing issue is adjusting the patient's mindset."

"Based on my observation, the patient's mental state is quite poor."

The doctor dropped another bombshell.

He took out the brain CT scan results from the various test reports. "This is the patient's brain CT scan result. Depression can severely impair memory function and cause brain dysfunction. According to the feedback from the results, the patient's depression is quite severe. If her mental state is not stabilized promptly, even without stomach cancer, depression alone could drive her to take extreme measures."

"..........."

Another massive bomb exploded in front of them, leaving them battered and wounded.

In truth, the heavens have always been unfair – the fortunate become even luckier, while the unfortunate grow increasingly unlucky.

................................

Li Mingshi lay unconscious on the hospital bed, her complexion pale.

The sickroom was utterly silent.

They had arranged the highest level of VIP sickroom for Li Mingshi, which, apart from the bedroom, also had a living room, dining room, and kitchen, fully equipped.

Lu Lingchuan stood by the window in the living room, chain-smoking one cigarette after another, quickly littering the floor with cigarette butts.

He lowered his head, brushing aside the stray strands of hair from his forehead, his face full of worry.

Lu Yanhua sat by the bedside in the bedroom, tightly gripping Li Mingshi's hand that was not hooked up to an IV drip.

So thin, too thin.

He could feel her protruding bones.

Suddenly, he recalled the first time he saw her over twenty years ago.

Back then, when she was still a young girl, she stood amidst a sunflower field, her smile captivating his gaze.

He approached her and struck up a conversation, and she blushed.
