Outside the operating room, the lights were dim and long, and time seemed to be stretched out, and every second was as difficult as a year. The faces of the Zhao family members looked more and more anxious in the interweaving of light and shadow, and their eyes revealed endless waiting and anxiety. Mrs. Zhao clenched her hands, and her fingertips turned slightly white due to nervousness. She finally couldn't help but whispered: "Why is there no news after the operation for so long?" Her voice was full of worry, and she was really concerned about Zhao Ti's safety. Although Mr. Zhao was also nervous, he still tried to stay calm. He whispered to comfort: "Heart surgery is complicated and delicate, and it is reasonable to take a long time." However, Zhao Xiukai's words were not so polite. He widened his eyes, and said with dissatisfaction in his tone: "It must be that woman who went in to disrupt the situation just now, so..." Before he finished speaking, Huo Gang's low and powerful voice interrupted him: "Master Zhao, be careful with your words, don't let your mouth cause trouble." Huo Gang's face was originally strong and dark, and at this moment, his face was gloomy, even more like a majestic black-faced god, which made people feel afraid. Zhao Xiukai was speechless for a while after being yelled at by him, and dared not speak again, but his dissatisfaction in his heart became stronger. Si Shenxing's family background was prominent, and Zhao Xiukai knew this very well. However, grandfather's affairs were their Zhao family's private affairs. Why did Si Shenxing intervene? What made him even more upset was that Si Shenxing actually let a woman who looked unreliable enter the operating room. If something happened to grandfather, even if the other party was Si Shenxing, he swore to ask for an explanation! In contrast, Xia Liuli seemed more calm. She knew that the longer the time, the more critical the situation would be. But she pretended to be calm on the surface, gently patted Zhao Xiukai's shoulder, and gently comforted him: "Master is a lucky person, don't worry too much, he will be fine." After hearing this, Zhao Xiukai felt a warm current and looked at her gratefully. "Well, thank you, Liuli, for waiting with us." There was a hint of gratitude in Zhao Xiukai's voice. "You are too polite. The person inside is your grandfather, and he is also my master." Xia Liuli said sincerely, as if she believed it herself. However, at this moment, A Mai hurried back. He had previously asked the bodyguards who followed Zhao Ti according to Si Shenxing's instructions. Although the situation was roughly consistent with what Xia Liuli said, there were discrepancies in the details. He was suspicious and returned to the coffee shop to search carefully, and then he came late. A Mai leaned over and whispered a few words in Si Shenxing's ear. Si Shenxing's expression remained calm, but his deep black eyes were as cold as a cold pond. When he swept towards Xia Liuli, she shuddered involuntarily. Ever since she met Si Shenxing at the Du family, Xia Liuli had developed a subtle affection for him. After all, which girl doesn't dream of becoming a princess loved by a handsome and wealthy man? However, as she came into contact with Si Shenxing more and more, she found that this man was like a piece of ice that had been frozen for thousands of years. Not only was it difficult to melt, but if she was not careful, she might be hurt by his cold breath. Therefore, whenever she saw Si Shenxing, she would instinctively want to avoid him. But the corridor was narrow, and it was not easy for her to avoid him. As the footsteps approached, Ama's voice also rang out: "Miss Xia Liuli, I just asked Master Zhao's two bodyguards, and they said that at the gate of the Future Realm, it was not Master Zhao who took the initiative to find you, but you chased their car, and Master Zhao had no choice but to go to the coffee shop with you." As soon as these words came out, Xia Liuli's face turned pale instantly. The Zhao couple also looked at her in unison, with scrutiny and doubt in their eyes. Ama continued to ask mercilessly: "Excuse me, it was obviously you who found Master Zhao, why did you lie and say that he found you?" Before Xia Liuli spoke, Zhao Xiukai on the side could no longer hold back and defended her: "Sir, what's the point of asking these questions?" He didn't understand why these people were so aggressive against Xia Liuli. Ama sneered and looked at Zhao Xiukai sharply: "I have my reasons for asking this." Huo Gang was more direct: "Master Zhao, can't you understand what people say? We suspect that Master Zhao's sudden illness is related to her!" Zhao Xiukai was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously retorted: "This is impossible! How can a heart disease be caused by human beings?" Xia Liuli gently tugged at Zhao Xiukai's sleeve and whispered: "I did do something wrong today, so it's normal for them to have opinions about me. But please believe me, Master's illness really has nothing to do with me." There was a hint of pleading and grievance in her voice. Zhao Xiukai nodded when he heard this: "Of course I believe you." However, Ama did not give up. He spread out his palm, and a pill came into view: "Have you seen this pill?" The moment Xia Liuli saw the pill, her heart trembled violently. She clearly remembered that she had thrown it out of the window, how could it appear here again? But she quickly regained her composure, revealing a bewildered look: "What kind of medicine is this? I've never seen it before." She secretly rejoiced in her heart that the pill was so small that it was impossible to leave fingerprint evidence. A Mai did not see anything unusual on her face, so he had to put the pill away and turned back to Si Shenxing. Si Shenxing remained silent from beginning to end, as if everything was under his control. He secretly wondered whether Xia Liuli was related to Zhao Ti's heart attack, and when Zhao Ti woke up, the truth would naturally come out. But his intuition told him that Xia Liuli was not unrelated to this matter. At this moment, the door of the operating room slowly opened, and a doctor came out with a critical illness notice in his hand. Seeing this, everyone immediately surrounded him, and the doctor's face was solemn: "Everyone, the patient's blood pressure is extremely low now, and the situation is very dangerous. Please sign this critical illness notice first." "Critical illness..." Mrs. Zhao's face turned pale when she heard this, and her body swayed, and she almost fainted on the ground. Fortunately, Mr. Zhao was quick to support her, avoiding a false alarm. Mrs. Zhao lost her parents when she was young, and it was Zhao Ti who loved her as if she were her own daughter. She will never forget this kindness. At this moment, facing the uncertainty of her grandfather's life and death, her heart was in pain. The atmosphere outside the operating room became increasingly heavy and depressing, and everyone's heart was filled with uneasiness and anxiety. They prayed silently, hoping that Zhao Ti could survive this and wake up safely. Xia Liuli stood aside, feeling mixed emotions. She didn't know whether the lies she had told would be exposed, and she didn't know how Zhao Ti's condition would develop. She could only wait silently, hoping that everything would come to light as soon as possible. Witnessing the critical illness notice, her tears were like a broken silver chain, continuous. Zhao Xiukai's eyes were instantly moist, but he clenched his teeth to prevent the tears from falling easily. He clenched his fists, trying his best to stay calm, and grabbed the doctor's sleeve and asked: "Excuse me, the doctor who entered the operating room...what part is she responsible for?" The doctor replied calmly: "Doctor Xia is already our chief surgeon." Chief? Zhao Xiukai's heart trembled violently, his rationality collapsed instantly, and he grabbed the doctor's collar, his eyes full of anger and confusion: "She is so young, how much experience does she have? Why let her be the surgeon? My grandfather's life is hanging by a thread, is it related to her? Is it her negligence?
