She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

Upon seeing her mother's message, Shen Qingge felt dizzy and disoriented.

Her father suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized—this news struck her like a bolt from the blue, instantly pulling her back from the abyss of despair.

No matter how much pain or confusion she is in now, her father's safety is the most important thing.

Without a second thought, she immediately started the car, stepped on the gas, and drove towards the city.

The mountain road appeared particularly dark and secluded in the night. The high beams illuminated the winding road ahead, and the shadows of the trees on both sides flashed by under the headlights.

Shen Qingge gripped the steering wheel tightly, her heart pounding, her father's image constantly flashing through her mind.

How could my father, who usually seems so strong and healthy, suddenly have a heart attack?

Is it because of today's news?

Is it because of a company crisis?

Or is it because of her good-for-nothing daughter?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingge couldn't stop her tears from flowing again.

She has brought too much trouble and pain to her family.

Now even her father's health is being affected by her.

The car drove through the city streets at night, neon lights flashing outside the window, but Shen Qingge's eyes were only on the road ahead.

She kept checking the time, wishing the car could go even faster.

Finally, the hospital building came into view, and the red cross symbol of the emergency department stood out prominently in the night.

Shen Qingge hurriedly parked the car and practically ran into the hospital building.

Inside the elevator, she watched the constantly changing floor numbers, silently praying that her father would be safe and sound.

Upon arriving at the floor where the cardiology ICU was located, Shen Qingge spotted a group of familiar figures in the corridor from afar.

The mother sat on the bench, looking dazed, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked much older.

The older brother, Shen Qingshuo, stood to the side with a solemn expression, talking to the doctor.

Su Wanyu sat beside her mother, gently stroking her back, her eyes filled with worry.

To Shen Qingge's surprise, Haize was also present.

He was wearing a dark suit and stood on the other side of the corridor, making a phone call with a serious expression.

Upon seeing Shen Qingge appear, everyone turned around.

A hint of relief flashed in her mother's eyes, and Su Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, while Shen Qingshuo frowned, clearly dissatisfied with his sister's disappearance.

But it was Haize who reacted first.

He quickly ended the call, strode towards Shen Qingge, and looked concerned.

"Qingge, are you alright?"

He reached out to grab Shen Qingge's hand, but Shen Qingge instinctively took a step back, avoiding his touch.

Haize's hand froze in mid-air, a hint of embarrassment and unease flashing across his face.

“I…I’ve been worried about you,” his voice trembled slightly, “I couldn’t get through to your phone, I didn’t know where you went.”

Shen Qingge looked at the man in front of her, feeling completely numb, as if her soul had been ripped out.

“These things,” Haize said, glancing around before lowering his voice, “I’ll explain them to you later. Right now, Dad’s health is the priority; let’s take care of him first.”

His tone was pleading, and his eyes held an emotion she couldn't decipher.

Is it guilt? Or fear?

Shen Qingge did not answer. She did not even glance at Haize again, but went directly to her mother who was sitting on the bench.

“Mom,” she called softly, sitting down beside her mother and putting her arm around her shoulder.

When the mother saw her daughter return, her tears flowed even more freely.

"Qingge, you're finally back. Your father... he suddenly collapsed. The doctor said it was an acute myocardial infarction, and he's still in the emergency room..."

The mother's voice was broken and intermittent from crying, and her body was trembling slightly.

Shen Qingge hugged her mother tightly, feeling her fear and despair.

At that moment, she temporarily forgot her own pain, her heart filled only with worry for her father and heartache for her mother.

“Mom, don’t be afraid, Dad will be alright.” She gently patted her mother’s back, trying to keep her voice calm. “The doctors are very professional, Dad will definitely pull through.”

Su Wanyu comforted him, "Mom, Qingge is right. Dad has always been in good health. This is just an unexpected situation; he will definitely recover."

At that moment, she saw Haize walk up to Shen Qingshuo and whisper something in his ear.

Shen Qingge couldn't see Haize's expression, but she could sense a change in her brother's demeanor, and then she nodded.

Haize patted Shen Qingshuo on the shoulder and then quickly left.

Time seemed to stand still, and every minute and second felt exceptionally long.

Shen Qingge sat beside her mother, looking at the tightly closed ICU doors in front of her, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

The night seemed exceptionally long.

The ICU doors finally opened in the early hours of the morning.

The doctor removed his mask, revealing a tired but slightly relieved expression on his face.

"The surgery was successful, and the patient is temporarily out of danger."

Upon hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

The mother couldn't help but choke up, saying, "That's wonderful, wonderful..."

"However," the doctor continued, "the patient's condition is still unstable and he needs to be observed in the ICU for another 48 hours."

Moreover, this myocardial infarction caused some damage to the heart, and long-term rehabilitation treatment will be required.

"Doctor, when will my father wake up?" Shen Qingge asked.

"He should wake up around tomorrow morning, after the anesthesia wears off. But you must be careful," the doctor said seriously, "avoid any further agitation; emotional fluctuations are very dangerous for his current physical condition."

“We understand, Doctor,” Shen Qingshuo nodded and said. “We will be careful.”

After the doctor left, the group sat back down on the bench.

Although the father was out of danger for the time being, everyone was in a heavy mood.

After calming down, Mrs. Shen checked the time and said to her son:

"You and Wanyu should go back first; you have work tomorrow."

Su Wanyu shook her head and spoke first: "I want to stay with everyone."

Shen Qingshuo understood his mother's meaning: "Let's go back. We can't help much at the hospital. This is a critical time for Shen's Jewelry, and we need someone to take charge now."

My father's biggest worry is the company. If something goes wrong with the company, even if he wakes up, he won't be able to handle it.

Su Wanyu hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, stood up, and said to Shen Qingge and her mother, "Mom, Qingge, please get some rest. Contact us anytime if anything happens."

After the two left, the nurses arranged a simple cot for them in the lounge next to the ICU.

Shen Qingge and her mother squeezed into one bed, but she couldn't fall asleep at all.

Everything that happened today played over and over in her mind like a movie—the news exposure, her father's illness, Haize's appearance, and the truths she still doesn't have the courage to face.

“Qingge,” her mother said softly, “Haize just told me that those news reports were a misunderstanding, and he will handle it.”

Shen Qingge stiffened for a moment, but did not answer.

The mother continued, "He said someone is deliberately spreading rumors and slandering him, trying to ruin Shen's Jewelry. He has already contacted lawyers and a public relations firm, and the truth will be clarified soon."

Shen Qingge closed her eyes, a bitter smile playing on her lips.

Haize certainly had the ability to cover up the news and reverse public opinion.

With his wealth and connections, controlling a few media outlets, deleting some online information, or silencing some witnesses would not be difficult for him.

But Shen Qingge knew in her heart that those things were true.

The photos are real, the child is real, and the betrayal is real.
