Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Before the doctor could speak, Li's mother hurriedly stepped forward, "Xiao Ci, there's nothing you're hiding from me!"

The doctor pushed up his glasses, still holding the medical record folder between his fingers. His tone was gentler than before, but still somewhat serious. "Your family doesn't need to worry. The patient's vital signs are currently stable."

"I just did a simple examination on the patient and made a rough judgment that it was a malignant arrhythmia caused by postoperative emotional excitement."

"We used defibrillation during the resuscitation just now, which temporarily stabilized the heart rate, but the situation is not completely safe yet."

"Besides, didn't we tell you when I discharged the patient that we must take care of the patient's feelings?"

"Especially during the recovery period, it is crucial to avoid extreme emotional fluctuations. This time, the vasospasm almost affected the blood flow to the heart. If we had arrived a few minutes later, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Song Ci's heart sank suddenly, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Li Mama's hand.

Every word the doctor uttered felt like a knife stabbing into her chest!

Upon hearing the words "the consequences would be unimaginable," Li's mother's legs went weak, and she almost couldn't stand up. Tears welled up in her eyes again. "Doctor, what should we do now?"

"We'll do as you say. No matter the cost, we must save them!"

The doctor handed over an informed consent form. "Don't panic. We've arranged for him to be in the intensive care unit. He will be treated with antiarrhythmic drugs and his blood pressure and blood oxygen levels will be closely monitored."

"As long as there are no further fluctuations in the next 48 hours and the acute danger period is over, there shouldn't be any major problems afterward, and a normal recovery is expected."

"In addition, relevant leaders have already spoken to this patient, and we will provide special care."

"We will spare no expense on the relevant equipment and medicines, so you can rest assured."

Hearing the doctor's words, Li's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for why the hospital gave her special treatment, Li's mother didn't have the time to investigate further, assuming that Song Ci had pulled some strings.

After all, it was Song Ci who helped arrange the surgeon and the VIP ward for Li's father during his last surgery.

But Song Ci knew perfectly well that none of this had anything to do with her.

The incident happened so suddenly that she was already in a panic. Moreover, she arrived half a step later than her father-in-law, so how could she have had time to make arrangements?

As for Li Dong, he's in a hurry to pay the fee, so he probably doesn't have time to worry about these things.

If it wasn't her and Li Dong, then who could it be?

With the matter pressing, Song Ci had no time to think.

As Song Ci received the consent form from the doctor, she felt a sharp pang in her heart when she saw the words "postoperative emotional stress" on the notice.

If Li Ying hadn't come to provoke him, how could my father have suffered like this?

Without much hesitation, Song Ci signed on behalf of Li Dong.

Although she was well aware that this consent form carried significant weight.

If any problems arise, then we will have to take responsibility.

But with Li's father in such a critical situation, she couldn't afford to worry about anything else right now.

As long as Mr. Li can get through this smoothly, I'd be willing to take responsibility, or even shorten my lifespan!

Before long, hurried footsteps came from the end of the corridor.

Li Dong ran over, clutching the payment slip in his hand, sweat still clinging to his forehead.

Seeing her son return, Li's mother finally seemed to find her pillar of support, "Xiao Dong..."

Li Dong quickly tried to calm his mother down, then looked at Song Ci and asked, "How is Dad?"

Song Ci briefly recounted the situation the doctor had just described, without embellishing anything, trying her best not to worry Li Dong.

After hearing this, Li Dong's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Before long, Li Yao arrived with her two children.

The doctor's words reassured everyone, and with the child present, the atmosphere outside the corridor improved.

Taking this opportunity, Song Ci called Li Dong aside and said, "Li Dong, today's incident is all because of me."

"If I had handled it earlier, I wouldn't have gotten into all this trouble today."

I won't apologize to you; an apology would be too weak.

"But don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, and I will definitely give Dad and the Li family an explanation!"

"As for all the responsibility and consequences of this matter, I will take full responsibility and will not shirk it!"

Although Song Ci didn't say what she was going to do, Li Dong could hear the determination in her words.

Clearly, Li Ying's actions this time have completely crossed Song Ci's bottom line.

Regardless of whether her father is safe or not, Song Ci will definitely not let this go!

Li Dong quickly stopped her, "Senior sister, what do you plan to do?"

Song Ci didn't want to say more, "Don't worry about it, this is a grudge between her and me, I'll settle it with her myself!"

Li Dong was silent for a moment, then said, "Senior sister, may I say something?"

Song Ci clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms. "If you're trying to persuade me, then don't speak."

Li Dong reached out and pressed down on Song Ci's shoulder, speaking as gently as possible, "No one wants to see something like this happen."

"Besides, even if we have to blame someone for this, it can't be you. It's because I'm a bad son."

“I knew all this before I decided to be with you.”

"You warned me long ago that we would encounter a lot of trouble if we were together."

"It's not just resistance from the outside, but also resistance from your own family."

“At the time, I was arrogant and thought I could handle these troubles. Even after you warned me, I still dragged you into this quagmire.”

"I was the one who provoked you in the first place, and now that trouble has arisen, I can't just put all the blame on you, can I?"

“I should have clarified these hidden dangers. It was because I didn’t handle these troubles well that they affected my family.”

"If I had confronted Li Ying earlier and severed ties with her sooner, she wouldn't have done this."

"So no matter what, this isn't your fault!"

Song Ci opened her mouth, her eyes slightly red, clearly wanting to say something but holding back, "Li Dong..."

Li Dong carefully cupped Song Ci's hands in his, saying, "There's no need for explanations between us."

"When something like this happens, you are definitely the most nervous and guilty person, and you are also the one who least wants to see this outcome."

"Now that you're caught in the middle, you're already in a dilemma. How could I possibly put more pressure on you?"

"Besides, whether you like it or not, Li Ying is still your mother."

"Even if you want to seek justice for the Li family, what can you do?"

"Let you face Li Ying on your own? Then I, as her husband, would be far too incompetent and heartless!"

Song Ci said, "But..."

Li Dong interrupted again, "Senior sister, I know you can't swallow this."

"But this matter must be handled by me personally; no one can do it for me!"

“If you stand up for me, she’ll think I’m scared, and she’ll become even more arrogant and do even more outrageous things!”

"The same thing must never happen again."

"So don't worry, I will definitely not be polite to Li Ying and I will make the consequences clear to her!"

Just then, the door to the emergency room not far away opened!
