My Ares Son-in-Law

After a while, the old man with his eyes closed and pale face suddenly groaned, as if he was waking up after a long sleep.

Then, his face gradually regained its color, his tense body slowly relaxed, and his breathing gradually became steady. This scene made everyone around him breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had been pulled back from the brink of death.

After Sophie finished the call, she stood quietly by the side, closely following Xiao Chen's actions. Although this was not the first time she had witnessed Xiao Chen saving people, every time she felt extremely shocked and magical.

She couldn't help but sigh that there was such superb medical skills in this world that could turn the tide between life and death.

When Xiao Chen finally finished his work, Sophie asked, "How is he?" There was a hint of anxiety and worry in her voice, and it was obvious that she was very concerned about the old man's condition.

Xiao Chen looked up at her, his expression still calm: "He's recovered, he won't die for now. But the situation is quite serious, the stagnation of Qi in his body is very serious, he must be rushed to the hospital for further examination and treatment."

After saying that, Xiao Chen turned his head and stared at the woman next to him, his eyes sharp and calm: "Falling is not the cause of his illness, he should be caused by anger. Did you say he was angry? Or did he encounter something that made him very angry?"

When the woman heard this, her expression changed slightly, as if Xiao Chen's words touched her heart.

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, he was very angry just now. We...we had an argument about something, and then he fell down like this." There was a hint of regret and uneasiness in her voice, and she obviously felt very guilty about the old man's condition.

The woman's face was filled with panic, her hands tightly clasped together, and her voice trembled slightly: "He just scolded me, and I was so angry that I quarreled with him, and then he got very angry... Will he die?" Her eyes were full of fear and helplessness, as if she was waiting for Xiao Chen to give her a negative answer.

Xiao Chen glanced at the woman, his eyes revealing a bit of severity and reproach, but more of a calm assessment of the old man's condition: "No, but if he is not treated in time, he will most likely be in a coma for life." His voice was steady and powerful, and every word was like a hammer hitting the woman's heart.

"Ah!" The woman screamed in fear upon hearing this, her face instantly filled with fear and despair. She covered her face with her hands, tears falling from between her fingers, her voice choked with sobs: "Sir, are you telling the truth? He...he can't be in any danger!"

Xiao Chen sighed softly, with a trace of sympathy and helplessness in his eyes: "Well, if I hadn't taken action just now, he would probably be dead now. Although the situation has improved now and he won't die for the time being, it will be difficult for him to wake up..." His tone was heavy, as if he was telling the woman a cruel reality.

When the woman heard this, her face turned pale as paper in an instant, her legs went limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

She clutched Xiao Chen's sleeve tightly, her eyes full of pleading: "Sir, you are such a great doctor, please save him, don't let him get hurt. I am willing to pay any price, just begging you to wake him up." Her voice was filled with endless pleading and despair, as if she was grasping at the last straw. Sophie stood aside, her eyes full of understanding and sympathy. She gently patted the woman's shoulder and comforted her gently and firmly: "Don't worry, medical technology is changing with each passing day, maybe the situation will be better than we expected... You must believe in miracles and the ability of doctors."

Her voice was soft and powerful, trying to bring a little peace to the woman's panicked heart.

However, before Sophie could finish her words, the woman seemed to be hit by an invisible force. Her legs softened and she knelt down in front of Xiao Chen with a plop.

Her face was covered with tears. She clutched the corner of Xiao Chen's clothes tightly with both hands. Her voice was choked with sobs and despair. "Sir, I beg you, you must save him. If anything happens to him, I don't want to live anymore. His family will definitely blame me, or even kill me. I really can't lose him, and I can't lose my life!"

Xiao Chen looked at the crying woman in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He frowned and asked with a puzzled tone: "Isn't he... your husband? Why are you so afraid of his family?"

His eyes were full of confusion and concern, as if he was trying to find the answer from the woman's eyes.

Tears were streaming down the woman's face like beads that had broken off a string, wetting her clothes. Her voice became intermittent due to crying, but she still quickly expressed her inner fear and helplessness:

"In fact, that was just my wishful thinking. He knew very well in his heart that he would never really marry me. He was willing to be with me only because I looked a bit like his dead wife. In the final analysis, between him and me, we only got what we needed. He was attracted by me as a person, and I was attracted by his money and power.

This time, I sneaked out with him, without anyone else around. Now that he's in trouble, his family will definitely blame me for everything. They will definitely think that I killed him and will definitely kill me! I'm really scared and don't know what to do..."

Xiao Chen listened to the woman's crying, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. There was a bit of self-mockery and helplessness in that smile: "Humph, I'm just a poor guy. Even the girls in the village don't want to marry me. How can I have such great ability as you say? Instead of begging me here, you might as well think about how to explain it to his family."

When the woman heard Xiao Chen's words, it was as if she had grasped the last straw of life. She instantly broke down and knelt down in front of Xiao Chen, supporting herself with her hands and banging her forehead against the ground again and again, each time as if she had used up all her strength.

Her cries were heartbreaking, and her begging words were filled with endless despair and pleading: "I was wrong just now, I was mean and said things I shouldn't have said, I did so many wrong things, I deserve to die, you can even slap me to vent your anger, I just beg you to save him, he is everything to me, if he doesn't wake up, I will really die, I really don't want to die..."

The woman's face had turned pale, and her forehead had quickly become red and swollen from the continuous kowtows, and even a trace of blood had seeped out, but she seemed to feel no pain and still did not dare to stop. Her eyes were full of helplessness and fear, and every time she kowtowed, it was as if she was expressing her determination and sincerity to Xiao Chen. (End of this chapter)
