After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me
Chapter 126 - 119: Vegetative State

Chapter 126: Chapter 119: Vegetative State

Tang Xi received the call and hurried over.

She could never have imagined that in just half an hour of not seeing each other, Qin Jianlan had already been rushed into the emergency room.

Everything was fine before...

Aunt Qin’s condition had been getting better; why did it suddenly come to this?

It was all too sudden...

Fu Tingzhou was standing outside the operating room, his cold gaze fixed on Tang Xi, "You were the last person to see my mother; what did you say to her? Why did my mother fall into unconsciousness shortly after you left? If it weren’t for Mengshu’s discovery, my mother might have been gone by now!"

Tang Xi’s breath hitched as she met his questioning gaze.

"I... When I left, Aunt Qin was still well... "

She was still chatting and laughing with me.

Rong Auntie knelt on the ground, "It’s all my fault, all my fault, I shouldn’t have left for so long. Madam wanted to eat the osmanthus cake from the old signboard shop at Peace Lane, so I went to buy it... It’s all my fault, I wasn’t by the lady’s side...."

At that moment, the door to the operating room opened.

The nurse came out and asked the family members to sign the critical illness notice.

Tang Xi’s voice trembled, "How is Aunt Qin?"

The nurse said, "It was discovered too late; had it been found even five minutes earlier, things might not have come to this... our hospital’s team of specialists is working on resuscitation, but you as family members should prepare for the worst."

Fu Tingzhou shook, his fists clenched tightly.

Tang Xi bit her lip so hard, her face instantly lost all color.

Aunt Qin, you must be okay.

She really regretted it; if she had stayed with Aunt Qin for half an hour longer, maybe this wouldn’t have happened...

Su Mengshu, standing beside Fu Tingzhou, couldn’t hide the joy in her eyes when she heard that Qin Jianlan was on the brink of death; great, this woman was finally going to die, and no one would be able to stop her from marrying Fu Tingzhou anymore.

Without Qin Jianlan backing Tang Xi, let’s see what Tang Xi can do!

But she feigned concern, her eyes reddened as she clung to Fu Tingzhou’s arm, her voice weak, "Aunt Qin will be alright, I would willingly give up ten years of my own life for Aunt Qin to wake up."

With that, she began to choke up.

Fu Tingzhou gently patted Su Mengshu’s shoulder, seeing her cry so sorrowfully as he turned to look at Tang Xi, observing the calm pallor of her brows and eyes.

There was not a tear on her face.

Fu Tingzhou suddenly found it extremely ridiculous; his mother had been so good to Tang Xi, but now at the time of life-threatening crisis, Tang Xi didn’t shed a single tear.

Thinking of all the things this woman had said on regular days, how well she had treated his mother, were they all lies?

Fu Tingzhou’s eyes filled with hostility as he spoke coldly, "Tang Xi, listen to me, if anything happens to my mother, I will not let you off the hook!"

Tang Xi, full of guilt and self-blame, leaned powerlessly against the wall.

She slowly squatted down, falling to the ground.

She could never have imagined that in just half an hour, Aunt Qin, who had been chatting and laughing with her, had come to this in a blink of an eye...

What exactly happened in that half-hour?

Her heart ached as if she couldn’t breathe.

Facing Fu Tingzhou’s questioning, she was powerless to defend herself, only praying for Qin Jianlan to wake up safely.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The waiting was excruciating.

In the scorching weather of July, Tang Xi only felt a chill at her fingertips. She put in an effort to clench her somewhat stiff fingers, her eyes tightly fixed on the doors of the emergency room.

Suddenly, the doors opened and a doctor came out.

She quickly stood up and rushed over, "Doctor, how is it?"

The doctor in charge of the rescue was the most prestigious expert in cardiology, and at this moment, he glanced at Fu Tingzhou and Tang Xi, sighing, "We have done our best, but the patient has been unconscious for fifteen minutes. She is still in a deep coma now, whether she can wake up... maybe this month, maybe a year, or perhaps three years..."

Fu Tingzhou stepped back half a step; the handsome face of the man instantly turned tense.

He could hardly accept this truth.

While on the side, Su Mengshu was crying.

Tang Xi closed her eyes tightly, biting her teeth, tasting the bloody flavor between her lips and teeth.

Qin Jianlan had fallen into a coma.

Just like three years ago.

It’s possible that she might never wake up in this lifetime...

Suddenly, Tang Xi felt an imposing shadow in front of her; she lifted her gaze, her eyelashes fluttering, and saw that Fu Tingzhou had somehow come close to her, her neck being tightly seized.

Fu Tingzhou’s voice was low and trembling with an angry roar, "Are you happy now? My mother is in a coma, are you happy now? What exactly did you say to her? You were the last person she saw before she went unconscious! Did you go to complain to her again, pretending to agree to a divorce with me, and then crying to my mother behind my back, causing my mother to faint!! Tang Xi, you always say you respect my mother, she has been so good to you, how could you bear it!!!"

Tears rolled from the woman’s eyes, and Tang Xi opened her mouth, her fingers drooping powerlessly.

"It’s me... I shouldn’t have left so early... I shouldn’t have let Aunt Qin be alone in... the ward...."

Su Mengshu watched Fu Tingzhou questioning Tang Xi and laughed secretly in her heart, unable to help adding fuel to the fire, "I came here after receiving Auntie’s call... Auntie said that Tang Xi is her only daughter-in-law, and she would never allow Tang Xi to divorce Tingzhou... When I hurried over, I found Aunt Qin collapsed on the floor.... wuwuwu, I immediately notified the doctors...."

Anyway, with Qin Jianlan in a vegetative state, whether she made a phone call or not, there was no proof anymore.

Fu Tingzhou’s hand slowly tightened.

Tang Xi trembled in pain, wrapped in a suffocating discomfort, but she did not resist.

Even without a shred of struggle.

At the moment she knew that Aunt Qin was in a coma, her heart was filled with self-blame... Tang Xi couldn’t accept it...

She whispered hoarsely, "I’m sorry... it’s me... I shouldn’t have left, leaving Aunt Qin... alone in the ward... If I had... stayed a little longer... until Rong Auntie came back...."

The woman closed her eyes in despair.

Enveloped in pain and suffocation.

Suddenly, the man let her go.

"Tang Xi, you certainly are guilty, certainly deserving of death, but to punish you like this would be letting you off too easy."

She collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.

Tears flowed incessantly, and through her blurred vision, she watched the man leave with Su Mengshu...

He didn’t even want to spare her another glance.

Tang Xi sat dazed on the ground outside the operating room for who knows how long, until a nurse helped her up, "Ma’am, are you okay? Come sit over here."

Suddenly, Tang Xi felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, the emotional ups and downs proving too much, her abdomen suddenly in wrenching agony like being cut by a knife.

Then she heard the nurse exclaim in shock, "Ma’am, you’re bleeding—"
