Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1157: Your Son Is Alive (4)

Looking at her delicate and slightly pale face, she displayed an unusual calmness, as if she had long prepared her mind for everything, including the most terrifying accident. He wondered at the time, how could she be so calm?

Death was a possibility.

Perhaps she didn’t fully understand what Tang Sili had said. But he was different; he was a doctor, trained for this, so he knew much better than she did how dangerous this surgery truly was. The problem was, besides performing the surgery immediately, they had no other choice.

His hand involuntarily clenched into a fist, feeling somewhat powerless.

Unconsciously, he walked out of the room where he had spoken with Tang Sili and into the corridor, passing by the doorway where Gu’s mother and Grandma Xiao were talking.

Gu’s mother and Grandma Xiao were discussing post-delivery preparations for the child and the mother, seemingly forgetting the surgery had yet to begin and the risks that could still arise.

Ou Yanan could see and hear this when she turned her head, noticing Gu’s mother barely maintaining a relaxed expression as she spoke with others.

Gu’s mother was feigning composure.

Ou Yanan thought, if anything were to happen to Gu Nuan, Gu’s mother only had Gu Nuan as a child; losing this only child, what would Gu’s mother do? So, is it necessary to go back someday? If not that person, then him?

Gu’s mother seemed to notice something, turned her head to look, only to feel as if a gust of wind passed by the doorway, or a shadow walked by. Upon closer inspection, no one was there, not even the wind.

"Who are you looking at?" Grandma Xiao asked.

Gu’s mother shook her head, turned back, a thought involuntarily crossed her mind: For that child, she mustn’t be under too much pressure.

Considering that the child looked like her own son, and both shared the same ambition of becoming doctors with kind hearts, it would be easy for her to get misled and obsessed, and if anything happened, she feared blame would fall on her.

Grandma Xiao’s probing gaze secretly scrutinized Gu’s mother’s suddenly silent face.

Ou Yanan walked back to his room, entered, went to the bathroom, and turned on the tap to wash with cold water, intending to calm himself down.

He was well aware that if he couldn’t remain calm, everything would be over. At the very least, he couldn’t bring trouble to Tang Sili, the lead surgeon.

At this moment, he had to forget everything, forget that she was the patient under the knife, forget Gu’s mother’s worries.

Feeling his mind calming somewhat, he raised his head to dry his face, when suddenly another face appeared in the mirror.

That face standing behind him, identical to his, differing only in expression. If his face reflected in the mirror showed suppressed and hidden anxiety, then the other face appeared with a mocking, sneering expression.

Because it was the same face, he was instantly mistaken for entering an alternate world, speaking with another soul within himself.

"I say, you coward, isn’t it time you give up your position?"

After that clear voice entered his ears, Ou Yanan shivered all over, then he quickly turned off the faucet which was about to overflow the sink, and turned around to look at the man in front of him—Neo.

"How did you get in here?" Ou Yanan asked. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

It was heard that after being infiltrated by bandits, the security here was upgraded to another level, making this villa akin to the safest safe box, how this man snuck in was truly baffling. Could this man have some mythical ability to pass through walls and break barriers wherever he went?
