Chapter 1672

Suddenly, a surprised shout came from the chief doctor inside: “There’s hope!

The child has hope!

The child might be saved!”

“Quick!

Start emergency treatment immediately, hurry and prepare!”

A few doctors and nurses promptly brought in all the necessary instruments and equipment.

The doctor’s words made Baili Xia exhale heavily, her legs subconsciously weakening.

Mu Lingchuan looked at Baili Xia excitedly, his voice hoarse: “Thank you.”

He didn’t have much energy to thank Baili Xia, so he looked at Zimo, speaking softly: “Zimo, the child is alright, you must also be okay, I’ll be waiting for you.”

The doctor gazed at Baili Xia with amazement: “Miss Xiaxia, what ointment did you use? It’s incredibly miraculous! I’ve been practicing medicine for years and have never seen anything like this.”

Baili Xia just weakly shook her head.

She wouldn’t disclose the origin of the ointment, but no matter where it came from, saving Zimo was what truly mattered.

Seeing her unwillingness to speak, the doctor didn’t press further.

He respectfully said, “Miss Xiaxia, please leave now, we need to begin saving Miss Zimo.”

“Can I stay here?” Baili Xia pleaded.

Seeing the doctor shake his head, she had no choice but to take one last reluctant look at Zimo and walk towards the medical room door.

She also studied medicine, so she naturally understood the rules of the operating room.

During the operation, only doctors and the closest family member could remain.

Here, that person was Mu Lingchuan.

Nangong Xu quietly followed, walking to her side to console her: “You seem weak, go back and rest well.”

“Don’t worry; if anything happens, I’ll inform you immediately.”

Baili Xia looked at him gratefully and left.

As the door of the medical room closed behind her, the support in Baili Xia’s heart seemed to suddenly vanish.

Her mind went blank, her vision darkened, and her legs gave way as she fell to the ground.

Baili Xia was completely powerless, unable to even muster a protective gesture, and simply fell heavily.

Just as she expected the pain to hit, she suddenly felt no pain at all.

Baili Xia opened her eyes and looked around, a familiar yet strange face appeared before her.

This face was very close, very close to her.

Yet, so distant and unfamiliar.

Even terrifying…

She instinctively pushed towards Mu Xiaojiu, trying to break free.

But as she extended her hand, she realized she had no strength at all.

She merely gave a light push against his chest twice, then her hand fell down again.

“What, are you very afraid of me?”

Mu Xiaojiu sensed her fear of him, a hint of complexity clouding his eyes.

Baili Xia did not respond, which was a tacit admission.

After a while, she softly said, “I beg you, don’t hurt Zimo.”

Mu Xiaojiu was stunned, not expecting her to say that.

In her eyes, was he truly such a terrible person?

Perhaps, even more terrifying than being utterly vile…

His heart was filled with myriad emotions, yet his face remained expressionless.

Even colder than usual.

“As long as you behave, I won’t harm your friend.”

He said calmly, with not a trace of warmth in his voice.

Baili Xia lifted her eyes to meet his gaze, asking, “Is it true that if I’m obedient, my grandfather will also be well?”

“At the very least, I will keep him alive.”

Baili Xia closed her eyes, forcibly digesting his simple words.

At this point, what else could be hoped for?
