My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 390 - 384: Waiting

Chapter 390: Chapter 384: Waiting

These people were all the most authoritative doctors in Hai City.

They were all recruited by a hospital under the Shen Group.

They replaced the doctors of this hospital in the operating room.

Suddenly, a cellphone started ringing in this empty hallway.

It was a call from Sheng Chao.

After the banquet ended, they had planned to go for a late-night snack, but Sheng Chao didn’t see them and asked what happened.

Sheng Chao asked, "Ah Dang, what’s the situation now?"

"I’m fine."

Shen Dang’s voice was hoarse, as if he hadn’t had any water for a long time.

"What about Xixi..."

"Brother Chao, pay attention to the news online, don’t let the events of tonight spread on the internet."

Sheng Chao grunted in response, "I’ll have someone take care of it, don’t worry."

But such a big incident had occurred tonight, and there were other people on the streets, some news about Qiao Xi being injured still got onto the internet.

It wasn’t confirmed though.

It was purely a gossip.

Moreover, somehow, the news that Chu Xiuyun had taken Qiao Xi hostage suddenly spread in certain groups.

These groups were from the elite circles of Hai City.

Shen Dang initiated a major fight against the Chu Family, which led to their downfall, and some people suspected Chu Xiuyun did it for revenge.

The same messages spread from one person to another, and it turned into rumors that both Shen Dang and Qiao Xi were injured, their fates unknown.

Chen Jiayan and the group containing rich second generations were also discussing it.

He didn’t believe that something had happened to Qiao Xi, but he was also not at ease, so he hurriedly called Qiao Xi.

However, the call couldn’t get through.

Not being able to contact Qiao Xi made him even more afraid.

So he asked in the group for Xie Baola’s number.

Someone shared the number.

Xie Baola, anxious and distressed, had her mind entirely on Qiao Xi. When she saw the incoming call, she instinctively wanted to hang up, but after glancing at the familiar number, she answered.

"I am Chen Jiayan."

Chen Jiayan introduced himself.

Before Xie Baola could speak, she heard him ask, "Where is Xixi now?"

Since Chen Jiayan was Qiao Xi’s brother, Xie Baola had no reason to hide it from him and told him the address.

Tang Honghe and Qu Jiashu, upon hearing the news, rushed over.

When Chen Jiayan arrived at the hospital by car, Sheng Chao and his wife had also just arrived.

"How is Xixi doing?"

Chen Jiayan glanced at Shen Dang.

Shen Dang was looking down, and nobody could see his expression.

But his whole presence exuded a sense of loneliness and dishevelment.

This was not the time for Chen Jiayan to blame anyone.

Xie Baola gave him a look and said, "She’s still in the operating room."

"Damn it, where is that damned Chu Xiuyun!"

Su Tutu, unable to sit still at home waiting for news, had asked Sheng Chao to bring her over.

Xie Baola scoffed, "Don’t worry, he won’t have good days ahead."

The doors of the operating room opened and closed.

Doctors were rushing in and out, their steps urgent.

Under such circumstances, nobody was feeling good.

...

The news about Qiao Xi’s injury was quickly handled by Sheng Chao’s people and did not attract much attention.

Tonight’s charity banquet had drawn wide attention from the outside.

The entire internet was discussing this event.

The organizer also posted the celebrities’ group photo and various red carpet pictures online after the event ended.

Various studios took advantage of the buzz to release their artists’ polished photos and on-site pictures.

Screens filled with handsome men and beautiful women assaulted the eyes of netizens.

While male celebrities had fewer disputes and competitions, female celebrities were all out to dazzle in their own ways.

Qiao Xi in her stunning rose-white wedding gown outshone all other female celebrities, topping the hot search list.

A visual knockout.

[Sister is really too beautiful!]

[Fairy Qiao is definitely the highlight of this event!]

[Super beautiful and ethereal, sister should attend more events!]

Fans and passersby were immersed in Qiao Xi’s divine beauty while she was still undergoing surgery.

The atmosphere outside the operating room remained depressed.

Nobody spoke.

Everyone was quietly waiting for Qiao Xi’s surgery to end.

During this silent moment, a sudden rush of footsteps came.

Accompanied by Ran Jing’s anxious voice.

"Ah Dang!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Dang, who had been hunched over, finally straightened up.

He turned his head, "Mom."

Only then did everyone see his face.

Seeing this, Tang Honghe couldn’t help himself, "Damn, Brother Dang, you’re bleeding!"

So much blood, and this man had been sitting here the whole time?

Was he crazy?

Shen Dang, who hadn’t noticed earlier, had smeared blood over his face while trying to wipe it.

His entire face was blurred, obscuring his features, yet there was a heart-stopping splendor to it, also somewhat frightening.

Ran Jing was startled by this, followed by fright.

Ran Jing grabbed him, "Ah Dang! Why are you bleeding so much?! Go get treated right away!"

"I’m fine," Shen Dang pushed Ran Jing’s hand away. "It’s not my blood."

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

If it wasn’t his, then it was Qiao Xi’s.

Ran Jing glanced towards the operating room, "How is Xixi?"

Old Master Shen was on a business trip abroad, and Ran Jing didn’t dare to tell him about the incident, so she hurried over by herself.

Shen Dang lowered his head again, struggling to spit out a word, "Wait."

Now, all they could do was wait.

Qu Jiashu patted his shoulder, only to get blood on his hand, and sighed.

"Ah Dang, you should go wash your face first."

He looked frightening this way.

"No need, I’ll just sit here and wait."

Shen Dang refused.

He wouldn’t leave until Qiao Xi came out.

What if she was frightened if the first person she didn’t see wasn’t him?

He wanted to be there for her.

Seeing this, Qu Jiashu didn’t force him.

Time ticked by, seconds and minutes stretching the night unbearably long.

The surgery continued for more than six hours before it ended.

When the operating room lights dimmed, everyone’s hearts were lifted.

The lead surgeon came out.

Everybody crowded around.

Shen Dang rushed to the forefront.

The doctor removed his mask, "Boss."

"How is Xixi?"

Shen Dang’s bloodshot eyes were filled with intense tension, his voice even hoarser after hours without water.

The doctor said, "The surgery went very successfully, Miss Qiao is no longer in life-threatening danger, but she will need to stay in the hospital for observation. As Miss Qiao has sustained internal injuries, it’s not advisable to move her body right now, so my suggestion is to let Miss Qiao recuperate here. Her recovery period thereafter will need extra care."

After such a long wait, everyone was somewhat exhausted.

Hearing the doctor say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their hanging hearts descended.

Ran Jing, "It’s good there’s no life danger."

Shen Dang wiped his face again and murmured in a low voice.

The nurse wheeled the hospital bed out.

Qiao Xi lay on the bed, still under the influence of anesthesia, her eyes closed, unconscious.

The doctor also couldn’t say when she might wake up.

Qiao Xi was taken into the intensive care unit.

Shen Dang glanced at Qu Jiashu and said, "Jiashu, take my mom home, you all go back too, I’ll stay here with Xixi."
