In the Chengyang Private Hospital
Sven Si took off the stethoscope, and asked the people in the examining room, "Did Jane hear some bad news?"
Sally Si nodded a yes.
"When Jane heard the bad news, adrenaline came rushing into her body and caused her some serious vasoconstriction. As a result, the flow of oxygenated blood to her brain was reduced, and..."
Jerry Shao coldly interrupted him, and said, "English please! Get to the point!"
Jerry was in the hospital because he had to talk with Sven about Daniel before leaving for his work. He had received a call from Harry Si, asking Sven to get his tools ready because Jane was due to arrive at the hospital very soon.
Sven said, "... Don't worry about it, she just fainted."
They felt relieved after hearing him.
As he touched his chin and got lost in thought, Sven continued, "But, I still need to do some tests on her," and again made them feel concerned.
He turned on a piece of his medical equipment, and began to give her a color Doppler ultrasound test.
After three minutes passed, Sven turned off the device and looked at them with a bright smile on his face. He said, "I have some good news to tell you!"
All of them were perplexed, and wondered why he was happy...
"I will have another nephew or niece! Daniel will have another child!" Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, everyone except Sally.
While bursting into tears, she said, "It's a pity that Daniel won't be able to see it..."
Irritated, Harry stared at his daughter, and said, "Sally, what the hell are you talking about there? And why did Jane black out in the first place?"
On his way to the hospital, Harry had forgotten to ask his sobbing daughter what had happened to Jane, because he was too busy driving.
Sally looked at Harry, and in a choked voice, said, "Dad, don't you know what happened?
Harry suddenly had a bad feeling, and asked, "What the hell happened?"
"Daniel.. He was killed... by a bomb. Wow... I can't believe it..." cried Sally. Jerry held Sally tight in his arms, and wiped away her tears.
Harry now understood why Janet had blacked out, and impatiently asked, "How do you know that?"
Sally fixed her eyes on her father, and while she was still sobbing, said, "It was on the news." She had heard the news while she was shopping in the mall. Panicked, she had then gone to the Leroy Manor immediately.
By now, the news had already exploded out of proportion. Daniel Si, a legend in the business circles, died at such an early age!
Harry sighed, and after he glanced around vigilantly, he told them about the conversation he had with Brian earlier. He said, "That man was not Daniel, your brother is still alive."
He had received a phone call in which he had been informed about what had happened from Brian, who was with Daniel at that time.
Sally stopped crying, and as she looked at her father with a blank stare in her eyes, said, "What? Is it really true? Dad?"
He nodded a yes, and looked at her with a serious expression on his face. Harry said, "How could you act so foolishly? You should thank God that Jane and her unborn baby are fine, or otherwise you would have been the one to blame."
Sally hung her head low, and then got closer to Jerry.
"Now, send Jane to her ward!" said Sven to the nurses. He turned off his medical equipment, and Jerry lifted his wife to his chest and walked towards the ward with her, but without comforting her.
After entering the ward, Sven gave Janet an IV drip. Samuel came in with Felix Shao in his arms, followed by Ella Bo and Lola Li with the twins.
"Harry, what's wrong with Jane?" anxiously asked Lola. 'How did Jane ever manage to wind up in the hospital while I was getting the twins dressed upstairs?' thought Lola to herself.
When she arrived at the hospital, she met the Shao's at the hospital's reception; they had also found out of the breaking news.
