Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 476: Turning Against Each Other (7)

Ou Yanan seemed to come back to her senses and said, "Professor, please go ahead; I can handle anything that happens here."

Only Tang Sili himself understood the flicker in his eyes upon hearing those words.

Tang Sili slightly curled his lips and nodded at him, then pulled the door open and walked out.

After Tang Sili left, it was only then that Ou Yanan realized what he had just promised his teacher and what he had committed himself to do.

He actually had such an overabundance of confidence that he believed he could handle the patient entirely on his own, no longer needing to rely on his teacher, even though he was still a student learning under him.

Was it because of her?

Ou Yanan’s gaze fell back to the face on the bed, his pupils flashing desperately, as if he wanted to etch that visage firmly into his mind.

Gu Nuan, lying on the bed, slightly turned her head, as if she heard some noise; her lips parted slightly.

Ou Yanan immediately bent down and leaned close to her lips to listen.

"Yebai—"

His eyes darkened in response, then he took her hand and said, "It’s okay, I’m here."

Her eyelids twitched, as though she heard his voice, or perhaps she didn’t hear anything at all.

Tang Sili sat in the official car, following the ambulance carrying the senior hospital official to pick up the big boss at Changda Company.

At Changda, everything was surely ready; they couldn’t let the life-threatening situation of the big boss disturb the work of the many employees inside the company. Thus, the ambulance stopped at a certain distance from the company, where only the doctors took off their white coats and entered the company in ordinary cars to see the patient.

Tang Sili accompanied the senior hospital official to the office of the big boss.

Xiao Jianming’s office was indeed in a state of high alert, inside and out. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Sealing off the news completely was an order from Xiao Shuzhu.

If news of her father’s potential mishap got out, the company’s stock prices would tumble, and the Xiao Family would be near ruin in a matter of seconds.

The life and death of a company are almost inextricably linked to its leadership. This was something Xiao Shuzhu understood well, having grown up in the business world.

When Tang Sili entered the office, he thought only Xiao Shuzhu and Uncle Tang were present, but as he turned his head inadvertently, he saw his boss sitting on the sofa nearby, startling him.

Xiao Yebai sat there quietly as if he were an outsider, his face unnervingly calm. In his eyes, Tang Sili couldn’t discern what he saw.

Despite priding himself as a cold and unemotional surgeon, Tang Sili couldn’t help but admit defeat to this man in this moment.

Was Xiao Jianming’s illness not that serious? Thus, his expression was so calm?

Obviously not.

The senior hospital official went to the patient lying in the office chair. As soon as he heard the patient’s breathing, his face turned grim, and he gestured to Tang Sili.

Tang Sili approached, and from a distance, as he observed Xiao Jianming’s complexion, his heart understood something was terribly wrong. He said to the family present, "The patient’s breathing is poor; we may need to intubate immediately."

Intubate?

Xiao Shuzhu and Uncle Tang were both stunned. Then, both of them hesitated, unsure how to make the decision.

Intubation, wouldn’t that mean Xiao Jianming would not be able to speak afterward?

"Please make a decision quickly. We cannot afford to delay even for a second; it’s crucial for the patient. If he continues to suffer from a lack of oxygen, it might lead to irreversible internal damage, and then there really would be no coming back," Tang Sili said.

After hearing this, Xiao Shuzhu bit her lip and said, "Alright, intubate him."
