Chapter 2040: It’s My Fault she Ended up in This State…

Shen Longyue’s heart sank when the nurse told him about Shen Manting’s condition .

The nurse noticed his sorrowful expression and asked out of curiosity, “Excuse me, Director . May I know if the patient in the ward is related to you…”

Shen Longyue looked at her and sighed softly . “She’s my daughter-in-law,” he replied .

The nurse returned a sympathetic and concerned gaze when she heard that .

She knew at once that the impassive man sitting at the door with his face covered in blood and tears was the director’s son .

She offered consolation to them and soon left .

Shen Longyue sat down beside Shen Luo’an silently .

Both father and son sat together outside the door for over ten hours .

Shen Longyue and Shen Luo’an kept their eyes wide open the whole time, their gaze fixated on the door of the operating theater .

Both of them didn’t yawn even once or catch a quick nap .

Finally, the door of the operating theater opened .

When the chief surgeon opened the door and saw Shen Longyue, he was stunned . “Director?”

Shen Luo’an immediately rose to his feet and clutched at the chief surgeon’s clothes . “How was the operation? How is the patient doing?”

Shen Longyue walked over to join Shen Luo’an and said, “This is my son . The woman inside is my daughter-in-law . How is she now?”

The chief surgeon maintained his silence for a moment, as if contemplating an appropriate answer . Then, he began, “She’s in a worrying condition . She has undergone a blood transfusion, but her injuries are too serious . Her arm and leg are fractured . The loss of blood from multiple sites in her brain has landed her in a coma . It’s hard to tell if she’ll regain consciousness…”

Shen Luo’an’s face turned even paler in an instant .

He tugged frantically at the chief surgeon’s scrubs and roared angrily, “What do you mean?”

“Luo’an!” Shen Longyue held him back . “Listen to him first! Has she survived the critical period?” Doctor Qin shook his head and replied, “Not yet . I’ve administered some medication on her . She might experience complications within 24 hours . She also has to be admitted to the ICU for further observation . If she’s able to make it through the next 24 hours, she’ll probably have a chance at regaining consciousness . ”

Shen Luo’an’s felt even more enraged upon hearing his explanation . He shouted, “What do you mean by ‘probably’?”

Doctor Qin looked at him and sighed, “She’s badly injured . If her vital signs start to stabilize, she’ll likely survive . ”

The doctor’s vague speculations on Shen Manting’s chances of survival sounded so cold and cruel that Shen Luo’an began trembling .

He glared at him with bloodshot eyes and demanded, “If her vital signs become stable, will she regain consciousness?”

Doctor Qin paused in silence and turned to look at Shen Longyue . “You know better, Director . ”

Shen Longyue’s eyes had already turned red . He held Shen Luo’an and sighed . “Get some rest first, Luo’an,” he uttered in a shaky voice choked with tears .

“Tell me what’s going on! Tell me!”

Shen Luo’an’s body turned limp . He struggled to stand on his feet and nearly collapsed .

He sounded so desperate that he was almost pleading .

His clean, fair face was now unshaven and bloodied . Traces of tears were evident . He appeared grotesque with his bloodshot eyes .

Doctor Qin pitied him and couldn’t bear to conceal the truth from him anymore . He glanced at Shen Longyue and warned gravely, “Even if she survives this ordeal, she’ll most likely end up in a vegetative state . ”

Shen Luo’an felt as if he had been struck by thunder .

His body stiffened and his mind went blank .

“She’ll most likely end up in a vegetative state . ” The sentence echoed in his mind .

Shen Luo’an broke down in despair and cried, “This is impossible . Impossible!”

Shen Longyue held onto Shen Luo’an, feeling devastated and heartbroken himself . He was sobbing softly as he pulled Shen Luo’an up from the floor . He ordered sternly, “Get up now, Shen Luo’an!”

“It’s my fault she ended up in this state…” Shen Luo’an looked up mournfully at Shen Longyue . “I’m the one to blame, Father…”
