Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259: Let Her Stay With You (Part 8)
“What the hell are you! An old bastard hiding behind your age! If my dear can’t make it, do you think you can? Worst case, we’ll all go down together!”
Ruan Jianguo was utterly enraged hearing this. Before Liu Ma could finish her sentence, he kicked her directly to the ground.
“Hey, why are you hitting people!” Dr. Ma, who was following behind Liu Ma, immediately shouted when he saw this, wanting to intervene. But Ruan Jianguo was tall and intimidating, almost twice his size, not to mention Lu Zhiwei had run over to back him up, standing behind Ruan Jianguo like a reinforcement, so Dr. Ma dared not say anything more.
He could only turn back to help Liu Ma.
Liu Ma, being elderly, was almost knocked out by Ruan Jianguo’s kick.
She never expected that even at this moment, the Ruan family would still be so arrogant.
Holding her stomach, she looked up at the Ruan family and smiled. Her age-loosened skin hung on her face, making her look exceptionally eerie, and her voice was chilling: “Twenty-four hours, I’ll give you just twenty-four hours. If you don’t send the young lady back to the Yuan family, then wait for her to die!”
Having said that, Liu Ma stood up with Dr. Ma’s support, moving as slowly as a robot as she walked out.
When she reached the corridor exit, she turned back and gave them a creepy smile.
Zhao Li felt goosebumps rise all over her body.
She had met Liu Ma before, but although the former Liu Ma wasn’t particularly kind-looking, she was never like this.
She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and asked Shu Jiao in bewilderment, “Sister-in-law, what does this old lady mean by that? Who does she want you to send to the Yuan family? Jiaojiao?”
Shu Jiao didn’t answer, and Zhao Li wanted to ask more, but Lu Zhiwei pulled her back, shaking his head at her. Only then did Zhao Li suppress her full load of questions and stop asking.
But just because she didn’t ask didn’t mean the question was resolved.
The Ruan family members all looked distressed.
Shu Jiao couldn’t believe the Yuan family indeed had such power, and she finally realized what the Yuan matriarch meant when she said Shu Jiao would regret it when she came back from the Yuan family that day.
However, she regretted it so deeply, regretting that she had held on to wishful thinking. She should have dealt with the two old ones of the Yuan family long ago.
Yang Xiaona sat quietly at the entrance of the emergency room, observing everything but staying eerily calm, as if she were indifferent to the bizarre happenings.
The emergency room doors opened ten minutes after Liu Ma left.
Everyone rushed forward, and Yang Xiaona scrambled to her feet as well.
Inside the emergency room, Ruan Jiaojiao’s complexion had returned to normal, but she still lay pale on the bed, unconscious.
Xiu Xi stood by the bed, tightly holding one of her hands, his eyes lowered, making it impossible to tell his emotions at that moment.
When the patient’s family entered, the doctor removed his mask and said, “The patient is temporarily out of danger. Which of you is the patient’s family?”
“We, we all are.” Shu Jiao and the Ruanlin family went to look at Ruan Jiaojiao, while Zhao Li and Lu Zhiwei hurriedly responded.
“Then please come over so we can discuss the patient’s condition,” the doctor said, glancing at Ruan Jiaojiao in the hospital bed. “Does anyone in your families suffer from heart disease? Congenital?”
“No,” Shu Jiao and Ruan Jianguo immediately replied from beside the hospital bed.
