414 The Secret About the Past 32 (1/2)

Madam Lin rolled her eyes at him. ”You, how could you just cut her off like that?”

She hurriedly went to the phone. ”I'll return her call.”

”Stop there.” The Chief-of-Staff stopped her. ”I think you're too deep into it. You believe her words too easily.”

Madam Lin had reached out to the phone, but she could only return to the sofa in the end.

After a moment of silence between the couple, the Chief-of-Staff got up and said, ”I'm going out for a while.”

A sudden scream pierced through their ears. Madam Lin turned around and realized it was Lin Shishi screaming. The couple instantly ran upstairs to check.

As the door was locked from the inside, the Chief-of-Staff had to run back down to take the spare keys.

Madam Lin continued to knock on her door frantically. ”Shishi, Shishi?”

”Mother…”

”Shishi, what's wrong?” No matter how Madam Lin called out to her, no reply came after that. Madam Lin was trembling all over and tears streamed down her face in panic.

The moment the Chief-of-Staff used the spare keys to open the door, the couple were stunned beyond words.

The place where the fish tank had been placed was now empty and the whole floor was full of water and fishes jumping around. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Lin Shishi was sprawled out on the floor, and because a glass fragment had cut her artery on her wrist, blood continued to spurt out from her wound non-stop.

Madam Lin was completely horrified as she stood there blankly. When she finally came to, she could only scream out in a heart-wrenching manner, ”Oh my, Shishi!”

The Chief-of-Staff, on the other hand, quickly carried Lin Shishi, who laid amongst the glass fragments, and ran downstairs with his eyes reddened.

Madam Lin followed closely behind and was about to faint anytime.

Lin Shishi was sent to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment, and the corridor outside her treatment room was soon full of people who arrived.

They were all the Lin family members.

Madam Lin was breathless from crying and did not stop berating her husband.

The Chief-of-Staff listened on silently and did not rebut her at all.

”If you hadn't tried every means and ways to stop me, Shishi could probably have avoided this!!!”

”Mother, what exactly is wrong?” Lin Shishi's brother Lin Junnan probed frantically.

Madam Lin explained the whole matter to her son, then started choking on tears thereafter. ”Before this happened to Shishi, Ms. An called to find me, but your father put down her call. She might have called to remind me, but your father was bent on convincing me and Shishi not to believe her words. Now, it seems it was his words we shouldn't have believed.”

Everyone who was present were in shock.

If Lin Junnan had not heard this from his mother, he would probably have believed the same as his father. It was truly incredible. Other than being in disbelief, he was also full of admiration.

”Junnan, quickly call home. Get someone to bring my phone from home. I want to give Ms. An a call.”

”Yes.” Lin Junnan immediately instructed someone to send Madam Lin's phone here.

Even when her phone had been brought to her, there was still no sign from the operating theater.

Madam Lin was sobbing as she called An Xiaoning. She told her how badly she regretted not listening to her and pleaded for her to come to the hospital.

An Xiaoning agreed.

After ending the call, Madam Lin was still shaking all over in fear.

The Chief-of-Staff sat on the bench along the corridor, burying his head deeply between his legs.

He deeply regretted as well, to the extent that he wanted to slap himself a few times.

Less than ten minutes later, the lights of the operating theater went off.

Very soon, the doctor emerged from the operating theater.

”Chief-of-Staff, Madam, we have tried our best.”

Madam Lin wailed uncontrollably in grief. ”What do you mean you've tried your best? Our Shishi is only 19 this year!!! My poor daughter, Mother has let you down. No, this isn't real. All of you haven't tried your best. If you did, then you would have saved our Shishi!”
