One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire’s Sweet Love

Chapter 2329: Something happened to Yun Yecheng. (2)

Yun Shishi and Mu Yazhe were taking a stroll on the beach when she received an overseas call that scared her out of her wits.

"Shishi, I'm your aunt… Where are you now?"

The moment she realized that it was her irritating aunt who had called her, she wanted to hang up without further ado. She felt no goodwill toward the older woman; thus, her tone was especially unwelcoming as she responded, "I'm overseas, having a vacation."

The other woman did not seem to notice the girl's detachment in her anxiety. "The reason for my call is to tell you that your dad is in the hospital right now. Are you able to return as soon as possible? Your uncle and I have tried to come up with some money to pay the medical bills, but… we really couldn't gather enough. The hospital is chasing us to pay, so… can you return soon?"

The young lady was taken aback. "Hospital? Has my father fallen ill?"

Her aunt seemed to be mortified by the experience still, for she tried to explain in jittery, "No… I only found out what had happened to your father after I received a call from your uncle. As your uncle isn't mobile, I rushed over with Qingmiao to send your father to the hospital myself… He he…" She laughed nervously as she emphasized that it was their mother-daughter trio who had brought her niece-in-law's father to the hospital.

The actress had gotten distressed by then. "What happened to him? Can you be clear?!"

"Shishi, don't panic! What happened was this: Someone splashed concentrated sulfuric acid on your father when he was on his way home from work in the evening. He's still in the emergency room as of this moment! The doctor said that your father had received severe burns in several parts of his body. His face was especially bad as it seemed that the acid had been aimed at his head. He's still in a critical condition even now…"

The young woman's breathing quickened after hearing that.

Acid… and it had to be concentrated sulfuric acid of all things?!

Who could be so vicious?!

Her father was known to be friendly and kind to everyone. He had never held any animosity, nor was he the type to offend anyone.

Who could be so ruthless and sadistic?!

Her husband knew the severity of the matter at hand and immediately arranged for them to board the earliest flight out of this vacation destination without another word. After meeting up with Gong Jie and the twins, the five of them flew back to the country.

As there was no direct flight back to the capital, they had to land in Sea City before taking a connecting flight back to the capital.

By the time they arrived there, it was already 7:30 PM.

Unfortunately, they were right smacked into a traffic jam as it was the peak hours; hence, they wasted a lot of time on the road before they reached the hospital.

Yun Yecheng was still inside the operating room when they arrived at the hospital.

The woman dashed ahead of her husband and brother to board the elevator bringing her to the operating room.

When she reached the place, she saw her aunt and uncle keeping watch outside the emergency room. Yun Yehou lay slumped in his wheelchair, looking worried and downcast.

"Uncle!"

"Shishi!"

The man looked up at his niece as if she were a savior.

Yun Shishi hurried over, glanced dazedly at the glowing signage, which indicated that the operation was still in progress, and asked, "Hasn't father been released from the operating room yet?"

He was about to speak when his wife interjected with tears in her eyes. "Shishi, it's good that you're here! Your father is still in critical condition. The doctor has come out twice to warn us to be prepared that he may go anytime!"

The young woman's countenance changed the moment she heard that!

Yun Yehou was aghast and quickly reprimanded, "These are unlucky words! The doctor is still trying to save my brother; you're bringing bad luck by saying such things!"
