"Like, I like it!" Xiao Shuzhu said, "How could I not like it? If I didn’t like you, would I have married you and given birth to your children?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Her tone sounded angry for a moment, feeling unbelievable. She didn’t understand why this man would ask such a question at this time.

Moreover, wasn’t this man the one who grew tired of her later?

Xiao Shuju couldn’t stand it any longer, pushed the fourth aside, and shouted at Zhu Minxuan on the bed, "You idiot! She’s so single-minded, did you not know after all these years? She’s even more foolish than me, never understanding about concubines. Yes, our family are like that, only knowing how to be devoted, never understanding how to be fickle, just look at how my brother pampers his wife."

Upon hearing Xiao Shuju’s words, Zhu Minxuan’s eyes opened briefly, as if he finally started to believe somewhat. Then, his eyelids lowered.

This shocked everyone.

Xiao Yebai’s eyes sank, and he immediately instructed people to pull away those surrounding the bed. At the same time, knowing the opposite party had installed a mechanical heart, Ou Yanan quickly contacted domestic teachers.

Tang Sili might have been seeing a patient, he answered after a while, heard about the patient with a mechanical heart that seemed problematic. Without thinking, Tang Sili said: "Bring him into the operating room, install an extracorporeal circulation machine, and inspect what went wrong with the mechanical heart. If there’s a problem, don’t panic. I have a laboratory number, call my boss, he’ll go find a new mechanical heart for replacement. You just need to replace it."

The teacher spoke lightly, but Ou Yanan was sweating coldly. He had only watched such surgeries, never performed them. Besides, such a complex surgery for him alone?

"If you don’t operate, he’s sure to die. Think carefully."

Three years had passed, and Ou Yanan had grown from a student to a clinician. Tang Sili’s words made him determined.

Everything, items and personnel, was arranged by Xiao Yebai.

Womenfolk and relatives sat in the waiting room.

Xiao Shuzhu’s tears had dried up, like a wooden figure sitting motionlessly. Zhu Jiayin and Anthony were trembling all over.

Xiao Shuju held her sister’s hand, asked, "What exactly happened?"

"Three years ago—" Xiao Shuzhu said, "I did something foolish, I went to track him, was discovered by someone. Those people threatened him, saying if he couldn’t control me, they’d kill me. He couldn’t bear for me to be killed, said to exchange his life for mine. They installed something in his replaced heart. If the truth got out, his heart would immediately stop."

"So that’s how it is—"

The third elder seemed not very surprised, Xiao Shuzhu turned her head, "You already know something?"

"How did your husband get to know those people?" Xiao Shuju only asked this.

Xiao Shuzhu shook her head, "I don’t know. When I knew he was always at risk of death for my sake, I didn’t want to know anything anymore. Really—" Suddenly, her eyes turned red, almost crying.

Xiao Shuju offered her uninjured shoulder for leaning, patted her head: "Nothing matters. See, since the eldest sister had an accident, we’ve made it here. Yebai and sister-in-law have given birth, there’s nothing to fear."

"Will he die?"

"I don’t know, but I feel our mom is watching over us from above."

"Our mom?" Xiao Shuzhu raised her head looking at the third elder, thinking the third elder was dreaming.

Xiao Shuju nodded: "I went to Europe, investigated Lin Jiale’s past, tried being tracked halfway, made me scared to the bone. Later, I found those who followed me disappeared one by one."

"What’s this got to do with our mother?" Xiao Shuzhu asked.

Xiao Shuju answered: "Those days I intensely missed mother, spoke in dreams, prayed to mother for protection."

Xiao Shuzhu rolled her eyes, the third elder indeed spoke without thinking.

In the operating room, Ou Yanan and two temporary assistants found by Xiao Yebai were operating on Zhu Minxuan.

Gu Nuan waited outside the operating room, looking anxious.

Will they find a time bomb inside Zhu Minxuan’s heart when it’s opened?

A helicopter landed at Camon Winery, its doors opened, welcoming the intimidating entry of Wei Changqing. Looking at Dabai, the sixth elder asked with a dark face, "Where is he?"

"Inside, change into surgical attire before going in." Dabai held his shoulder down.

The sixth elder disapproved his approach, saying: "Are you aware you’re letting doctors accompany him to death?"

In Zhu Minxuan’s heart, pre-surgery examination indicated indeed a bomb-like device. Conventionally, should wait for bomb disposal personnel before surgery. But Ou Yanan thought time was too short.

When the sixth elder entered the operating room, Gu Nuan sat on the bench without moving. The sixth elder’s words had, in fact, shocked her heart.

Her brother, her blood brother, if something unexpected happened inside—
