If You Could Hear My Heart - Chapter 654

Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Rescuing in the Operating Room
 

“Replying to fourth young master Shen, the doctors at the villa also said he needs to be taken to the hospital, as the medical equipment in the villa is not sufficient,” the servant said.

“I understand, take him to the hospital, I’ll be right over.”

“Okay, we’ll transport the old master to the hospital now.”

After hanging up the phone, Shen Chi narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the sun hanging in midair.

Shen Di and Qin Chen were sitting outside, chatting and laughing over coffee. Shen Di was sitting close to Qin Chen, wearing an elegant hat with lace trimmings.

Qin Chen was also a perfect gentleman, keeping her company and peeling some snacks for her.

Standing outside, Shen Chi looked towards them. He did not wish to say too much about his father’s situation to Shen Di.

Shen Di would likely be returning to Australia soon; rather than involving her in some matters, it was better to let her live her own life in peace and stability.

Moreover, Shen Di herself was not in very good health.

He went back to grab a jacket and said to Xu Chaomu, who was still eating breakfast, “I’m stepping out for a bit.”

Before Xu Chaomu could set down the cup in her hand and say a word to him, he had already strode out of the living room.

It wasn’t until she finally set down her glass and called out, “What’s going on?” that he had already vanished.

Xu Chaomu teased Wealth: “See, President Shen is always so busy.”

Wealth cooperatively let out a couple of “ao ao” barks and scampered off…

As it walked, the little bell around its neck kept jingling incessantly, ‘ding ding ding ding’, sounding particularly adorable.

Shen Chi took out his car and drove toward the direction of the summer resort.

All along the way, he made another call to the servant at the villa: “Where have you reached?”

“Replying to the fourth young master, we have already taken the old master to the Luo Family’s Medical Group,” the servant respectfully reported.

“How is the situation?”

“The old master hasn’t regained consciousness on the way; the situation seems a bit dire.”

“What about Liu Rumei?”

“Mrs. Liu has rushed over there, and Mrs. Zhou is also on her way.”

Shen Chi remained silent, not speaking for a long while.

“Fourth young master, is there anything else?”

“Have you called the person in charge at the Luo’s?”

“Yes, we have, and they will arrange the best doctors and care for the old master,” the servant replied.

“Mm.”

Shen Chi hung up the call and made a U-turn toward the Luo Family’s Medical Group.

Throughout the ride, his brows were knit tightly together; even though he had conflicts with his father, he still wanted him to live well.

When he reached the Luo Family’s Medical Group, it was almost noon.

The sun shone on the hospital building, the floors’ glass panes radiating a bright luster, casting rainbow-hued, mottled beams of light.

There weren’t many people at the hospital at this time. As soon as he arrived, there were servants from the Shen Family waiting for him.

A servant came forward and opened the car door for him: “Fourth young master.”

“What’s the current situation?”

“The doctors are in resuscitation,” the servant said. “Don’t worry.”

“Which floor?”

“Fifth-floor operating room.”

Shen Chi made his way quickly towards the elevator, but before he could reach it, he happened to run into Zhou Ran coming from another direction.

He stopped, his hands tucked into the pockets of his slacks, and quietly waited for his mother to approach.

“How is your father doing?” Zhou Ran’s face showed concern, and despite being worried, she remained composed.

“He’s being resuscitated in the operating room,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

Zhou Ran looked at Shen Chi, her gaze icy as though it had been tempered with frost. She stayed silent, not saying a word for a long time.

Shen Chi also gazed at her, lips lightly pursed, his eyes deep and profound.

As their eyes met, neither spoke. Beside them, a young servant held his breath, keeping his head down, not daring to make a sound.

“You still care to see him?” Zhou Ran’s voice was cold and sharp, with an icy glint in her eyes.

The atmosphere turned frosty instantly, as if transitioning from summer straight to winter.

“I don’t think I’ve done anything too excessive,” Shen Chi’s tone was bland, his sharp gaze unyielding.

He knew that on the surface, his mother did not seem to care about his father Shen Cexian, but deep down, she cared more than anyone else.

Zhou Ran was the kind of person who kept a lot of things buried deep inside her heart.

In everyone’s eyes, she seemed not to care about anything, maintaining a strong exterior and a resolute heart.

“You obviously wouldn’t know that several times your father collapsed in the villa out of frustration caused by you, and he even vomited blood,” Zhou Ran stated calmly. “I tried to see him by asking Ji Shengxuan, but he wouldn’t let me in.”

“But I’ve arranged good caregivers and doctors for my father, haven’t I?” Shen Chi remained calm.

“You’ve gone too far this time,” Zhou Ran scolded him, her eyes revealing a hint of destabilized emotions.

“What about you?”

Shen Chi watched Zhou Ran unperturbed, his expression unreadable, but his words suggested that he was unwilling to compromise.

“You!” Zhou Ran was momentarily speechless.

They had forced Xu Chaomu first, but Shen Chi shouldn’t have acted like that. However, at the moment, Zhou Ran felt powerless to refute his words.

Indeed, aside from confining Shen Cexian, Shen Chi hadn’t done anything especially cruel.

“Mother, I’ve heard Liu Rumei is already upstairs; aren’t you going up?” Shen Chi looked at her.

Sure enough, Zhou Ran’s expression changed.

She hesitated and did not move, whereas Shen Chi turned his head and strode towards the elevator, pressing the button for floor “5”.

The servant bowed to Zhou Ran, “Mrs. Zhou,” and then followed Shen Chi into the elevator.

As the elevator doors closed, Shen Chi saw his mother standing still, her complexion pale.

His mother had always appeared young in his eyes, but during this time, he noticed she had aged considerably, with white hairs appearing on her head.

He knew she deeply loved his father…

However, they were both too stubborn.

The elevator rose to the fifth floor, and he walked toward the operating room. Before he arrived, he saw Liu Rumei.

Liu Rumei had taken good care of herself; she still looked the same after all these years.

Anxiously pacing at the door, she appeared uneasy, her face full of concern. She kept walking back and forth, occasionally shaking her head.

A few servants and bodyguards stood outside the operating room. The area was entirely quiet at that moment.

As Shen Chi arrived, everyone respectfully bowed and greeted, “Fourth young master.”

“Mm,” Shen Chi replied coolly.

Seeing Shen Chi arrive, Liu Rumei came up and grabbed his arm: “Fourth young master, you must save your father, find the best doctor for him.”

“Look around and see where we are!” Shen Chi snapped back.

Frightened, Liu Rumei immediately let go of Shen Chi’s arm; yes, they were in the best private hospital in C City.

If they were helpless here, what other options would there be?

However, Shen Cexian couldn’t have an accident; he hadn’t said a word to her yet, he couldn’t just abandon her like this.

In terms of family background, ability, and status, she didn’t hold a candle to Zhou Ran.
