“What’s wrong? No one’s picking up?” Shi Le asked as he sat on the couch when he saw Shi Nuannuan holding the phone in a daze.
Shi Nuannuan turned to look at Shi Le. Then, she shook her head. “I can’t get through.”
Shi Le frowned.
Where did the two women go?
“I’ll call brother!” As she said this, Shi Nuannuan quickly dialed Shi Yuting’s cellphone number.
It was almost noon.
At the site of the snowstorm, Shi Yuting was about to take a helicopter back to C City under the protection of his bodyguards when his cellphone rang.
As soon as the call was connected, Shi Nuannuan’s voice came through.
“Brother, are Mommy and Weiyi with you?” Shi Nuannuan didn’t know where he had gone, thinking that he was still dealing with some matters.
Shi Yuting furrowed his brows and said, “No. You’re back?”
Hearing her brother’s question, a sense of disappointment flashed across Shi Nuan Nuan’s initially happy face. However, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Of course, why wouldn’t I be?” In order to change the subject, Shi Nuannuan returned to the original topic. “Brother, Mommy and Weiyi are not at home. I can’t get through to Mommy’s phone either. Do you know where they are?”
Shi Yuting’s brows furrowed even more. His voice was deep and magnetic. “I don’t know. I came to F City yesterday. You said you couldn’t get through to them?”
A sense of unease faintly developed in Shi Yuting’s heart.
“Yeah, I didn’t see them when I came back, and then I couldn’t get through to their phones either.” Shi Nuannuan fiddled with the phone line out of boredom as she sat next to the coffee table.
“Got it, I’ll contact them.” As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Shi Nuannuan wanted to ask him how he was going to do it, but then she heard the dial tone.
Mommy’s phone couldn’t be connected, and Weiyi didn’t have a phone, so how was he going to contact them?
After hanging up, Shi Yuting activated the voice function on his watch.
At the same time.
Outside the emergency room, Zuo Weiyi saw the door of the emergency room open and a doctor in a white coat walking out.
Her heart felt like it was being hammered by a thousand hammers. The moment she saw the doctor, Zuo Weiyi rushed over anxiously. Her voice, choked with sobs as if she could not speak. She was already hoarse. “My mom… is she alright?”
She asked carefully, afraid to receive a response she did not want to hear.
However, the truth was always so cruel.
When the doctor saw her, he took off the mask on his face. His expression was grave.
When the doctor saw Zuo Weiyi, he thought she looked familiar, but could not remember where he had seen her before.
As for Shen Lanzhi, she had always kept a low profile. Moreover, she rarely went out, so outsiders knew very little about her identity as Madam Shi.
“You’re… the injured person’s… daughter?”
“I- I’m her daughter-in-law…”
Upon hearing her answer, the doctor sighed heavily. “You’d better call your family over.”
Immediately, there was a buzz in Zuo Weiyi’s mind, as if she had lost her senses and could not see or hear anything around her; her entire being seemed to have been mechanically frozen in place.
The meaning behind the doctor’s words could not be any clearer.
However, she still could not help but ask, wanting to know the exact answer.
“What do you mean… ”
Immediately after, her gaze fell on Shen Lanzhi, who was being pushed out from behind the doctor.
