My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 700 The Last Step (4)

The red indicator light above the operating room was on, the atmosphere tense and oppressive.

Lady Wei sat on the bench at the entrance of the operating room, her hands unconsciously clenched tightly, her eyes fixed on the operating room, not blinking.

Dong Xin Yan walked over slowly. She did not approach the bench, but stood on the other side, at a distance.

After a while, the indicator light went out, and the door of the operating room was pushed open slowly. A doctor in a white coat stepped out. The butler helped Lady Wei up. The doctor approached her and said respectfully, "Lady Wei, there’s no need to worry, the surgery was successful. Lady Xin Ruo is temporarily out of danger and will be transferred back to the ward shortly."

Lady Wei exhaled heavily, her suspended heart slowly settling back into place, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

Hearing that Wei Xinruo was fine, Dong Xin Yan slowly released her tightly clenched hands, her tense body also relaxing.

It’s good she’s okay, otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to face her.

She originally wanted to visit Wei Xinruo, but since Lady Wei was there, she might not be welcomed, and she didn’t want to invite trouble. Besides, she had an appointment...

Dong Xin Yan’s breath hitched, oh right, she had an appointment!

But leaving just like that seemed somewhat inappropriate. Dong Xin Yan hesitated for a moment, then walked toward Lady Wei, stopping two steps in front of her, looking up at her.

She tried her best to see her only as Wei Xinruo’s mother, and spoke calmly, "I’m so sorry, I was the one who took Xin Ruo out to play yesterday. I didn’t know her condition was this serious. Sorry."

Lady Wei gently lifted her eyelids, her dark eyes looked at her indifferently, a fleeting emotion rising in them. But it passed in an instant, and her face gradually returned to its usual calmness. She looked at her for a moment and said, "You weren’t aware of her condition, you can’t be blamed."

Dong Xin Yan had been prepared for Lady Wei’s possible sarcastic remarks, yet to her surprise... she spoke such a gentle sentence. Did she hear it wrong?

Dong Xin Yan was slightly stunned, her expression momentarily stagnant, "What?"

"She probably never told you about her condition, right? She never wanted anyone to know about her illness, just wants everyone to treat her as a normal, ordinary person."

Lady Wei spoke naturally, although her tone carried some helplessness, it was mixed with more pity and affection.

Coming to her senses, Dong Xin Yan softly responded with an "oh," thought for a moment and then asked, "May I ask what illness Xin Ruo has?"

After a pause, she added, "Of course, if it’s inconvenient to say, you don’t have to."

But just as she finished speaking, Lady Wei directly responded, "Heart disease, congenital heart disease."

Heart disease... congenital at that...

Dong Xin Yan’s dark pupils slightly contracted. Although she had guessed that Xin Ruo’s condition might be somewhat serious, she hadn’t thought it would be this severe.

Congenital heart disease, don’t many with this condition not live past adulthood?

No wonder Xin Ruo always looked unwell, her complexion always had a hint of pallor, her body was particularly frail, smiling for a while or playing for too long would cause her to breathe unevenly.

The hands hanging by Dong Xin Yan’s sides suddenly tightened, her expression grew solemn, yet she didn’t know what to say at that moment. Her lips moved, and after a long while, she squeezed out a sentence, "With medicine so advanced now, and Xin Ruo being so young, she will definitely recover."

Lady Wei did not speak. She just gave her a deep look, and after a long time, she finally spoke, "Yes, she will definitely recover."
