Chapter 1780 - Missing (1)

When they arrived at the hospital’s resuscitation room, Wang Chun was already waiting outside. The surgery inside was still going on intensely.

“Second Master, Missus, you’re finally here!”

Upon seeing Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun rush over, Wang Chun, who had been waiting for a long time, finally heaved a sigh of relief. He walked up to them.

“What’s the situation inside?”

Qi Lei was rather calm as he asked in a low voice.

“They’ve been in there for almost two hours, but there’s still no news.”

When Wang Chun said this, Qi Lei’s brows furrowed even tighter. Dongfang Liuyun followed his gaze and looked at the operating theater in front of them. The door was tightly shut, and there was an inexplicable sense of gloominess in the air, there was a sense of stifledness.

“It’ll be fine.”

Suddenly, he felt his palm tighten. Some warmth came from his palm, and her voice rang in his ear.

Qi Lei nodded silently. He turned his gaze to the side and then pulled her to sit on the bench. He did not say anything and just waited quietly.

Dongfang Liuyun did not say anything. She also accompanied him silently.

Time passed slowly. Qi Lei did not know how long he had been suffering. He seemed to be numb from waiting until Dongfang Liuyun picked up the phone. Only then did he react.

The phone call was from Dongfang Gan, who was far away in Myanmar.

“Father.”

Dongfang Liuyun called out as she got up and walked to the window.

“Mmm, we haven’t spoken for a few days. How are you guys? I called your mother and she said that she was busy. Seems like she didn’t go back today.”

Dongfang Gan’s amiable voice sounded.

“We’re all fine. When are you coming back?”

“Not so fast. I heard from the old butler at home that you and Qi Lei haven’t gone over yet. It should be getting late. You guys should hurry over, lest...”

“I won’t be going back this time. There are some things that need to be dealt with urgently. Anyway, they won’t be missing me at these banquets. The house is so lively, so no one will have noticed me. I’ve already asked Secretary Ding to deliver the gifts for me.”

“What happened?”

Her daughter had always been a person who understood consideration for the bigger picture. It was impossible that she would miss such an occasion for no reason.

“Qi Lei’s father is in critical condition and is still in the operating room. I have to accompany him. I’ll go back tomorrow.”

“Wasn’t Qi Qiming’s condition stable? How did this happen all of a sudden?”

Dongfang Gan was naturally puzzled as well.

“We don’t know the situation yet. Father, help me make a call to the other side. Call my aunt and let her deal with it.”

“You really know how to make me ask for favors. She’s your aunt, so it’s not wrong for you to get to know her more.”

Dongfang Gan said helplessly.

“I need to get to know everyone, not just her. She owes you a lot, so it’s not a big deal for her to return the favor. Unless, Father, you want to be a saint.”

Dongfang Liuyun was quite direct.

“Alright, I’ll give her a call later. By the way, did something happen to your mother? She hasn’t been answering my calls recently. Every time she answers the phone, it’s always quiet. Your mother isn’t someone who can stay idle.”

Dongfang Gan was an exceptionally perceptive person. He could vaguely guess that something was wrong with Song Siting these days.

“It’s nothing. It’s not the first time she’s skipped Grandma’s birthday, but it’s better than getting angry at each other. Mother has been busy with the cases these few days, even I can’t disturb her. You know her temper. She’s always worried about being disturbed by others.”

“Go home to see her soon, I’m worried.”

Dongfang Gan thought for a moment before saying this.

“Yes, I will. Don’t worry, Father. Finish the things over there as soon as possible and come back as soon.”

...

The father and daughter talked for a while before hanging up. When they returned, Qi Lei had already stood up. They heard a sound in front of them. The tightly shut door of the operating theater suddenly opened.

The nurse slowly wheeled Qi Qiming out of the operating theater, and the doctor followed by the side.

“Doctor! Doctor! How’s our President Qi?”

Wang Chun reacted quickly and went forward. Qi Lei followed closely to the side of the hospital bed, and Dongfang Liuyun followed silently by Qi Lei’s side.

The doctor took off his mask and took a deep breath. His tensed expression seemed to have eased a little, “He went into sudden shock. Fortunately, we managed to save him in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. The patient’s body is already very weak. I hope that you can take good care of him. The surgery is still considered a success so far. Let’s send him back to the ward first. I’ll tell you more about his condition later.”

The doctor said very competently.

“Okay, it’s good that he’s fine. Thank you for your hard work, doctor.”

Wang Chun heaved a huge sigh of relief. He subconsciously turned to look at Qi Lei, who was also standing by the bedside quietly looking at Qi Qiming. He also took in Qi Lei’s relieved expression.

After sending Qi Qiming back to the ward and settling him down, the doctor finished giving his orders. The sky outside had long since fallen silent.

Wang Chun brought dinner for the two of them, but the couple did not have much appetite.

At around 8p.m., Liang Jing came over as well.

“Don’t worry too much about this situation. The surgery was quite successful. Perhaps your father will regain consciousness after a few days have passed. It’s not like there haven’t been cases like this before.” Liang Jing comforted him.

“Thank you, Auntie Liang.” Qi Lei thanked her sincerely.

Liang Jing only smiled and nodded.

“Auntie Liang, what are the chances of him recovering? Isn’t there any way to wake him up? The traditional treatment only guarantees his physical condition. I feel that it won’t work if he keeps going on like this.”

The person who asked was Dongfang Liuyun.

“This is the only way at the moment, and as you can see now, the patient’s condition is starting to become unstable. I’m suspecting that he’s starting to feel something in his heart, which is why he’s acting like this. His condition was very stable previously. However, I suggest that you guys come over frequently to accompany him, maybe he will feel something.”

Liang Jing thought for a moment before replying.

Dongfang Liuyun could only nod sadly as she listened. “Thank you, Auntie Liang.”

“It’s fine. Don’t worry too much, as long as he is fine. I’ll go over to check on the ward first. You guys have hired a special nurse so you can let them watch over him. Seeing that the two of you are quite tired, you should rest well.”

“We will.”

Dongfang Liuyun replied before Liang Jing left the ward.

“You go home first. I’ll take care of him, mmm?”

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Qi Lei turned his gaze to Dongfang Liuyun and said softly.
