Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1145: The Whole Truth (1)

The face was all too familiar. Zang Xiaolian was just about to blurt out "big brother," but suddenly he realized something was off. How could big brother be here, he couldn’t possibly be here.

He shook his head, turned back, and looked again towards the doorway; upon a clearer look, there was no one there at all.

Hallucination? Zang Xiaolian held his breath and looked at the hand grasping the IV tube, carefully analyzing if there was anything wrong with his hand posture. Feeling he was gripping too tightly, he slightly relaxed his grip, then let it hang naturally. He also glanced backward. Through the curtain in the room, the faint silhouette of Tang Sili resting on a chair was visible.

Everything is fine, Zang Xiaolian thought, everything was proceeding as planned.

Once the patient needed resuscitation, Tang Sili had to administer life-support drugs into the patient. At that moment, by cutting off the continuous infusion of this medication, the patient could be killed. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

No need to inject poison, no need to do anything that could later be discovered and used as evidence. Just cut off this medication; it’s not a very difficult problem.

Zang Xiaolian slowly bent down, his gaze falling on Gu Nuan’s face on the bed.

Gu Nuan’s face was pale, almost bloodless. The breathing mask on her face was desperately pumping oxygen into her nose and mouth, but even so, Gu Nuan seemed to show no signs of improvement.

A thought crossed Zang Xiaolian’s mind; he wasn’t doing something bad, he was helping Gu Nuan to escape her suffering, so there was no need to hesitate. She looked so pained now, completely different from the spirited condition she was when he first met her and helped her with many things.

She had no need to live anymore.

Zang Xiaolian exerted a force, turning the three-way valve on the IV tube to the right under the cover of the sheet. After this action, the resulting consequence would be that the nutrient solution would continue to flow into the patient, but the life-saving medication would cease.

After completing this action, he slowly exhaled, gently pulled the blanket up to Gu Nuan’s shoulders, and then turned and walked out.

Exiting the pregnant woman’s room, Zang Xiaolian quickened his pace in the dark corridor. After quickly returning to his room, he locked the door from inside. Unknowingly, he was drenched in a cold sweat, a sweat of evil.

Zang Xiaolian took off his jacket and listened to the silence in the corridor outside the door.

After all, the patient had just undergone resuscitation in the afternoon, so both the patients’ family and the servants were physically and mentally exhausted here. Since there was a doctor on guard here and in the same room, he would be there immediately at a call. Everyone was thus sent back to their own rooms by Tang Sili. Tang Sili said that if people were coming and going, it would cause cross-infection to the patient, which would be bad.

As for Xiao Yebai, when his wife was being resuscitated in the afternoon, it seemed like he had a mental breakdown. No one dared let him approach the ward.

If not for that, Zang Xiaolian really wouldn’t have had the chance to make a move.

He checked the time; it was just four or five o’clock in the early morning, when people are most deeply asleep. He recalled the series of actions he took to go in and out, and no one had tailed him.

If the surveillance footage was replayed, and they ask why he was there, he had his explanation ready. He had long agreed with the Gu Family, saying he would replace Xiao Yebai to check on Gu Nuan periodically.

Everything was flawless, just waiting for daylight—was it to collect the corpse?

Thinking about what Xiao Yebai’s expression might be, Zang Xiaolian shook his head, forcefully shook his head, forcing himself not to think about this problem.

He sat in the chair waiting, not knowing how long he had waited. The light coming in through the window fell on his eyelids, stimulating his eyes. He suddenly woke up and looked at the clock on the wall.
