Chapter 881 -881: Pushed Down the Stairs…
Just a week before the election, Su Hongxing received a call from the hospital. Cao Zhen had an accident and was rushed into the emergency room.
Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan hurried to the hospital and anxiously waited outside the operating room.
“I still talked to Dad on the phone last night. He sounded full of energy, so how did he suddenly end up in the operating room?” Su Hongxing choked up.
Even though the doctor didn’t go into details, the tone of his voice was enough to know that the situation was very serious.
“Miss Su.” At this moment, Cao Zhen’s guard came over and gave Su Hongxing a military salute.
“Was it you who brought my Dad to the hospital?” Su Hongxing asked in a hoarse voice.
“Mr. Cao always leaves the house on time, but he was much later today. When I went in, I found Mr. Cao had fallen from upstairs, lying in a pool of blood. The scene was quite frightening,” the Guard replied truthfully.
“My father is usually in good health, how could he just fall down for no reason?” Su Hongxing questioned.
The Guard hesitated, not finishing his thought.
Su Hongxing hurriedly said, “Whatever you have to say, just tell me straight, don’t be afraid.”
Perhaps the Guard saw someone coming and going at the Cao Family house?
“It seemed like Mr. Cao was pushed down the stairs. And Mr. Zhou Peng visited Mr. Cao just before the incident. It appeared he wanted to discuss the campaign with Mr. Cao. I also heard arguing outside, and then Mr. Zhou left in a huff…” The Guard stammered, actually quite reluctant to drag Zhou Peng into this.
“Zhou Peng?!” Su Hongxing’s face darkened.
If Zhou Peng pushed Cao Zhen down the stairs, could that mean he had a motive to commit the act?
Cao Zhen wanted to support Ye Shiqing. Without Cao Zhen’s interference, would Zhou Peng’s chances of rising to power increase?
Su Hongxing’s mind was a mess. She was in utter chaos and couldn’t think straight.
They waited outside the operating room for four hours before the doctor finally came out.
“The surgery was relatively successful, but the patient is critically injured, and there is still a hematoma in his brain. He’s not out of danger yet, and whether he can wake up will depend on Mr. Cao’s own will.” The doctor’s words left Su Hongxing pale-faced, “Doctor, are you saying that my Dad might not wake up?”
“I can’t say for sure yet, we’re still in the observation period.” The doctor finished speaking and tried to leave, but Su Hongxing blocked his path: “You have to clarify your words before you go…”
“Amou, don’t get agitated. Let me understand the situation from the doctor first, you wait here,” said Ye Qilan, seeing Su Hongxing very emotional and quickly pulling her aside.
He then went to the medical office with the doctor and talked for half an hour before coming back to Su Hongxing.
Looking expectantly at Ye Qilan, Su Hongxing asked, “Is the situation not looking good?”
Ye Qilan shook his head, “Let’s wait and see. For now, he needs to get past the critical period.”
Su Hongxing’s brows furrowed with sorrow, “Sometimes I feel like a jinx. People close to me always encounter misfortune. Look, I had just recognized my Dad, and then he had an accident. If I’d stayed far away from him, would he have been okay…?”
“Amou, don’t be silly, this has nothing to do with you. A good man will have good karma; don’t scare yourself,” Ye Qilan reassured her, and had Age bring over the hot lunch, “You’re pregnant, if not for yourself, you have to consider the baby.”
Su Hongxing looked at her belly, “Just a couple of days ago Dad said he wanted to name my baby.”
But in just two days’ time, Cao Zhen was lying in the intensive care unit, and whether he would wake up was still unknown.
If she had insisted on taking Cao Zhen to live at Qingmu Garden, would he have avoided the accident? 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
