Chapter 604 - Unexpected Situation

Xian Guiying nodded and ignored her family members. She followed the nurse and changed into sterile clothes. After washing her hands, she hurried into the ICU wards.

Xian Family stood outside the window, occasionally asking the nurses and doctors about the child"s condition and occasionally looking at Xian Guiying, who was sitting beside the bed.

Qin Wenqian slept soundly. Xian Guiying sat lightly in the chair next to the bed. When she saw her daughter"s soft hand pierced by the tube, her heart ached. She slowly held her daughter"s hand and looked at her little face.

"Qianqian, can you hear mommy? Mommy is here to accompany you. You must be strong and wake up quickly, okay?"

As Xian Guiying spoke, she lowered her head and gently kissed her daughter"s hand. Her eyes were filled with tender love.

Qin Wenqian did not respond, as if she could not hear Xian Guiying"s voice at all or feel her mother"s presence. She continued to sleep, not moving at all.

Xian Guiying held back the pain in her heart. She just sat there blankly, looking at her daughter"s face.

Qin Wenqian"s body was filled with tubes. Xian Guiying couldn"t move recklessly. She could only hold her hand and watched the child without blinking.

The sound on the machine showed signs of life, sometimes weak, sometimes fickle.

Xian Guiying stayed in the ward for two hours. In these hours, Qin Wenqian never once moved. Xian Guiying kept watching her until a nurse came in and told her to leave. Then, she stood up and reluctantly came out of the ICU, kept looking back at her daughter thrice.

Xian Guiying sat inside for two hours, and that"s how the Xian Family watched her from outside the window during the hours.

Her footsteps paused for a moment. She looked at the Old Man with a cold look in her eyes, then at Xian Jian, who held the Old Man. Finally, she forcibly shifted her gaze towards Zhan An, who was walking over.

"Mom, you guys can go back and rest. You don"t actually have to stay in the hospital."

"Your brother also plans to come, but Chiahao and An Na are still young. He also doesn"t want Ruolan to know about Cui Luixian so she won"t be scared. So we told him to go back to the Greenville Residence first."

"He will come tomorrow morning. Your family will be with you, don"t be afraid, Guiying." Zhan An took her hand and held it gently.

Family?

Xian Guiying once again looked up and looked at her father and grandfather. Her eyes were cold and expressionless.

Qin Wenqian"s incident today was not due to the Old Man, but meeting Cui Luixian by chance in a children"s park instead of avoiding her was actually Xian Guiying"s own negligence. It"s just that she was angry with her grandfather for being so kind to Cui Luixian all this time.

People have different thoughts. She could not force an eighty-year-old man to change his mind, but now that too many things had happened, she was tired and didn"t want to continue to quarrel with the Old Man again.

Seeing that the Old Man was still staring at her with his hand on his cane, Xian Guiying took a deep breath but said nothing at the end.

A family.

Maybe she still has them.

It had been a full 48 hours since Qin Wenqian was admitted to the ICU.

Xian Zihao had told Xian Guiying that Cui Luixian and the man were already being handled by the police. Police were trying to prepare a long line for now, planning to arrest everyone behind the man in one attack.

After hearing that Cui Luixian"s location had been exposed, Xian Guiying, who stood alone in front of the washroom, sighed in relief. She had just come out of the intensive care room this morning, but Qin Wenqian still showed no signs of waking up.

And two hours ago, Xian Zihao had told her that after Qin Gengxin left the police station to record his statement, he could not contact him nor find his whereabouts.

As Xian Guiying stood in front of the water dispenser, slowly digesting all the news, a nurse suddenly ran upstairs as if she was looking for someone. When she saw Xian Guiying, who was holding a cup of water, she quickly ran to her and said, "Miss Xian! Doctor Wei is looking for you! Qin Wenqian"s condition is getting worse, and she is not in good condition now."

The cup fell to the ground with the sound of thunder outside. Boiling water splashed on her feet, but Xian Guiying didn"t care about her pain. She immediately ran toward the Intensive Care Unit.

Under the consolation of Xian Zihao, the Xian Family had already gone down to the lounge to relax. There were only a few people on this floor and only Xian Guiying could enter the Intensive Care Unit.

The door was open. Wei Shanyuan stood next to the bed, examining the child"s condition with a serious face. From time to time, he would say something to the nurse and she wrote something in a medical book.

Looking at his expression and hearing the unusual equipment in the ward, she stopped. When Wei Shanyuan turned to look at her, she rushed to the bed and tried to touch her daughter.

"Don"t touch her yet! The child is in very bad condition right now. Guiying, you have to find a way to get the child"s father here. Just now, when we were trying to give breathing a.s.sistance to her, we heard her calling her father."

"Don"t let the child feel abandoned, otherwise her condition will only get worse. Now, not only is there a lung infection but also there is a problem with her heart. A series of complications have been antic.i.p.ated, this condition is unexpected for us."

Wei Shanyuan knew that his words were cruel, but he couldn"t lie to her in this situation. He was the child"s caregiver, and as a doctor, he had a responsibility and obligation to tell her the truth.

"What are you saying?" Xian Guiying"s body stumbled a little as if her whole body had exhausted all energy, and she opened her mouth, but no words could be said.

Seeing her slightly pale face, Wei Shanyuan frowned, then turned to the nurse next to him and said, "Be prepared to give medical notice."

Medical notice.

Xian Guiying"s eyes were red, but there were no tears. She quickly grabbed Wei Shanyuan"s white coat and glared at him. "Didn"t you say it would take 72 hours? It"s only 48 hours!"

Wei Shanyuan signaled for the nurse to leave first and then looked at her. "Looking at the child"s current condition, she will not be able to last much longer."

Xian Guiying"s hand slowly fell and she looked at him as if she was looking at a monster.
