The indicator light of the surgery room was still on. The nurse said that the doctor had given him treatment immediately after discovering his worsening condition, but the situation was not optimistic.
They could not guarantee to save the patient.
Rosiley watched the closed door of the surgery. Her father was receiving treatment inside, and he could leave her any moment.
Her heart seemed to be clutched by a large, invisible hand. It hurt so much that she could not breathe.
She was scared, really scared. She was afraid her father would never wake up again.
Her nose tingled and instantly, her eyes were filled with tears. As she blinked, tears rolled down and moistened her cheeks.
“Your dad will be fine.” Sachin took her in his arms and gently stroked her back.
Rosiley buried her face in his chest, her hands tightly clenching his lapel. She bit her lip to stop herself from crying.
As long as the doctors were still rescuing him, there was still hope.
Sachin’s black eyes narrowed slightly, and his profound gaze landed on the door. The anxious voice of the ward’s head nurse rang out again in his ears.
“Miss Tang, when the nurse on duty was doing her round, she found Mr. Tang’s heart rate to be declining. She immediately called the doctor, and he began administering treatment. It was our fault that such a thing happened. But at the same time, we discovered that Mr. Tang’s windpipe had been cut. The cut was very even, so it must have been done by human hand.”
“During the night, only his wife had visited him.”
Xenia Zhao had chosen to see his father-in-law at night. After her visit, the nurse on night duty had discovered that his heart rate was declining. She also found his windpipe cut.
Some people might actually believe that this was just a coincidence.
Xenia Zhao!
A terrifying, icy gleam surged in his black eyes. He would make her pay for what she had done.
After crying, Rosiley gradually calmed down amidst her sorrow, her befuddled mind slowly regaining clarity.
She came out from Sachin’s arms and lifted her hand to wipe away her tears. She looked up. “Sachin, didn’t the head nurse say that Xenia Zhao visited my dad in the night?”
She had only had one thought in her mind, that her father was receiving emergency treatment. No one knew whether he would survive.
So, she had only been vaguely aware of the head nurse’s words.
Now that her mind was clear, she remembered the most important thing the head nurse said—
That Xenia Zhao had visited the hospital that night.
“Was she here?” She repeated the question.
Sachin nodded. “Yes.”
“So something happened to Dad after her visit?”
Sachin frowned and started pondering. Then, he gave her a clearer answer.
“It’s true that his condition worsened after her visit. Someone cut his windpipe. If I’m not wrong, it must have been Xenia Zhao.”
At this, Rosiley gasped in shock. “Is she crazy? She has been with my father for decades. How could she have the heart to do that?”
“Once personal interests are involved, husbands, wives, relatives, or friends can turn against each other. So, it comes as no surprise to me that Xenia Zhao did this.”
Such a thing must have also happened in the Lu Family before, probably more than once.
Rosiley, who was immersed in shock, did not notice the derision in his eyes.
“Ha!” Rosiley sneered and said sarcastically, “If personal interests are more important than feelings, should human beings even bother with relationships?”
“Rosiley, you’re still too naive.”
