Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 477: Turn Against Each Other (8)

Xiao Shuzhu spoke those words without looking at her younger brother sitting on the sofa; instead, her eyes were filled with expectation as they fell upon Tang Sili’s face.

Tang Sili, as if seeing nothing, motioned for someone to help lay the patient flat on the ground, then took out a laryngoscope and other medical equipment to start intubating the patient and clearing the airway.

Once the on-site emergency treatment was done, the next step was to transfer the patient to the external ambulance of the company.

Everything was hurriedly and secretly carried out.

As Xiao Shuzhu followed her father’s stretcher to leave, she suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to her brother sitting on the sofa, "Yebai, go to the hospital. Isn’t your wife there?"

Xiao Yebai would have rather stayed put if it hadn’t been for what his youngest sister mentioned.

Soon, Xiao Jianming was rushed to the hospital and then into Mingxin’s best presidential suite. Monitoring equipment was set up around the patient.

The rest of the Xiao Family, upon receiving the call from the youngest sister, all rushed to the hospital at breakneck speed.

Each of them seemed like their souls were not yet settled, with Xiao Shulan, the second sister, directly questioning the youngest who had called, "What exactly is going on? How could Dad suddenly fall ill? You brought Dad to the hospital; explain it to us clearly!"

As if she was accusing her of trying to kill their own father, the youngest Xiao Shuzhu curled the corner of her mouth and sneaked a glance at her second sister, ’Don’t tell me your husband and father-in-law, who are always at the company, don’t know that Xiao Jianming has been sick for a long time?’

According to Uncle Tang’s account, Xiao Jianming’s illness had been simmering for a long time, but recently, it seemed to have grown more serious. Previously, he had been treated at another hospital, careful not to flaunt his condition in his own company and hospital, for fear of impacting the company’s stability and growth.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Xiao sat directly on the waiting bench for the family of the patient, holding her head, unable to catch her breath for a long time.

The people next to the old lady had no choice but to pat her back to help her catch her breath.

Grandma Xiao was very clear in her heart; her son’s deliberate concealment and diligent management were all for one reason, just so that the family wouldn’t have to worry about having nothing to eat or wear.

When the old lady felt chest pain because of her son’s illness and couldn’t catch her breath for a long time, in the hallway, the Xiao sisters were already caught in their own arguments.

"You’re saying Dad’s condition suddenly flared up for no reason? Who are you trying to fool!" Xiao Shulan accused the fourth sister, who was at the scene, relentlessly.

Xiao Shuzhu was suddenly confused, usually it was the third sister who liked to scream like this, ’Where is she?’

Xiao Shuju, the third sister, was in the hospital’s emergency room, unable to attend as she was unwell herself.

Xiao Shulan said, "The third sister is sick. I didn’t even dare to let anyone tell her the news."

In perfect health just a moment ago, why had they suddenly all fallen ill?

Xiao Shuzhu and Xiao Shumei obviously displayed their confusion, pointing their fingers towards Xiao Shulan, who had always been together with the third sister and should know about her condition better than anyone.

Xiao Shulan felt she had unjustly been made a scapegoat and spoke in exasperation, "The third sister fell ill because her own husband upset her to the point of damaging her health. It has nothing to do with me; if you don’t believe me, ask Yebai. The third sister had gone to him to complain before."

The group seemed to only then remember that Xiao Yebai was present.

Grandma Xiao lifted her head and saw her grandson there.

Xiao Yebai was sitting on the bench, crossing one leg over the other, as if everyone before him was but air.

"Yebai, what kind of attitude is this? Dad is sick!" Xiao Shulan rebuked her carefree, wastrel younger brother.

Xiao Yebai had no intention of even lifting his eyes to look at her.

Finally finding a point to break through, Xiao Shulan directed the spearhead towards him, "You came with the fourth sister. Tell us clearly, were you there when Dad had the attack?"
