"She threw herself onto the knife, and if she’s dead, she had it coming, saving me the trouble of seeing her around every day," Yun Shu’s voice could not hide her annoyance. Kang Jinse seemed to say nonchalantly, "But Miss Bai truly has a warm heart. That knife was aimed at Miss Ning’s boyfriend, yet she threw herself at it without hesitation. People who don’t know might even think she has some special relationship with that gentleman." The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Yun Shu’s eyes grew even colder. Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Kang Jinse smartly chose to shut up. Stopping at the right moment was good; saying more might have the opposite effect. Several people chose to remain selectively silent about Ji Yunya’s disappearance, as if Ji Yunya never existed. Just then, Yun Shen strode in from outside the door. Kang Jinse’s eyes immediately lit up, and she tidied her hair, revealing what she believed to be her most beautiful smile. With Bai Ran gone, she had to seize the opportunity quickly. Yun Shen didn’t even glance at her. He said to Yun Shu, "Mom, come with me to the study." "What? Someone is missing?" Yun Shu said in disbelief. Yun Shen’s brow furrowed deeply, "I’ve concealed Yun Ya’s disappearance from the police, just telling them she was found. The person they were supposed to contact is unreachable, and I feel something is wrong." Yun Shu narrowed her eyes, "And Yun Miao?" Yun Shen’s frown deepened, "The people we sent didn’t find any trace of him. The driver said he got out of the car on his own while the driver was asleep, and then he couldn’t be found anywhere." "Who was the driver?" Yun Shu smiled, "The Ji family’s longtime loyal driver, how could he fail to keep an eye on a kid? Do you believe such a clumsy excuse?" Yun Shen shook his head, "He has also disappeared just a little while ago." Yun Shu thought of Ji Yunya’s usual demeanor, and the least likely idea occurred to her, only to be immediately denied. In fact, she subconsciously didn’t want to believe it. "He has never failed in his endeavors. Don’t be overly anxious. Ji Yunya is definitely not alive anymore. It’s possible he’s hiding because he fears the police investigation. As for Ji Yunmiao... A deaf-mute and mentally challenged child, what waves can you expect him to make?" While she comforted Yun Shen , Yun Shu was not entirely at ease. When all coincidences added up, they could not merely be coincidences. Yet she was unwilling to believe the truth behind the coincidences and preferred to deceive herself. "Announce to the public that Ji Yunya was traumatized, fell gravely ill, and was sent abroad for convalescence. As for when he’ll return... ha..." The night was endless, and the seeds of malice planted in the soil took root and grew. They awaited the day they would grow into towering trees. Atop the trees, venomous snakes with long fangs grew and hid among the black branches, watching the world, ready to strike at any moment. They say evil cannot overcome good, which is an axiom. But have you heard this phrase as well? Fight poison with poison. As time flies like an arrow and moments pass in the blink of an eye, ten years swiftly slipped away. The winds of March mingled with the warmth of spring and the chill of winter, freely wandering around, lifting hems and skirts, kissing cheeks, so comfortable that it felt like every pore was opening up. The sun hung high in the sky, its bright rays illuminating every corner of the world, driving away darkness and cold, bringing light and hope to humanity. Located on the West Coast of California, USA, St. Mary Hospital is one of the best private hospitals in America. Founded and funded by the world-renowned philanthropist Mr. Elwha Mary of the Mary Charity Foundation, it is a non-profit private hospital. According to the latest authoritative review institution in the United States, St. Mary Hospital has been ranked as the number one hospital in America for its excellent medical service and specialty levels. This has been its title for twenty consecutive years since it was established, undoubtedly an amazing feat. From the outside, St. Mary Hospital looked beautiful like a castle, located by the river. Its grounds were filled with flowers and lawns, resembling a magnificent garden. Now and then, patients could be seen strolling around, presenting a serene picture. However, in front of the cardiac surgery operating room inside the hospital building, the atmosphere was tense. Nurses who passed by couldn’t help but slow down, afraid of disturbing the people inside. Not long ago, New York’s largest public hospital admitted a patient with a heart condition. The patient was a 9-year-old boy with an underdeveloped left ventricle and right ventricular dysfunction, leading to heart failure. His left lung was also underdeveloped, necessitating a heart-lung transplant. Such a composite cardiac transplant was extremely complex, requiring intricate venous reconstruction during the surgery and was one of the most difficult operations in cardiac surgery. At the time, no doctor dared to take on the task. Someone suggested the family transfer the patient to St. Mary Hospital, to be operated on by Dr. Nyx. Follow current novels on novelꜰire.net
