A second chance with my billionaire husband

"Dr. Nyx is truly remarkable. To be able to personally participate in Dr. Nyx’s surgery, even if I were to die, I would have no regrets." Dr. Zhou exclaimed with deep emotion, speaking of Dr. Nyx with full admiration and reverence, completely unconcerned that Dr. Nyx could be young enough to be his granddaughter.

If he was previously somewhat skeptical, after experiencing this surgery, his admiration for Dr. Nyx was like the endless flowing of the river, uninterrupted. Her powerful and exquisite skills, her calm demeanor in the face of danger, and her meticulous and serious attitude deeply impressed him.

At this moment, he only wished to recite a poem to express his feelings, ’Talented individuals emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.’

And Dr. Nyx is precisely the unprecedented talent in the medical field in a century, considering her age, which does not match her skills—no, she is a genius.

Behind him, Xiao Xu also showed a face full of excitement and admiration.

Upon hearing even the respected Dr. Zhou’s words full of praise and endorsement for Yun Ya, Zhuang Xiyue smiled with shared pride.

Dr. Zhou personally instructed some precautions, then arranged for Xiao Xu to closely monitor Lady Yan’s situation before dragging his weary steps away.

What Yun Ya didn’t know was that upon returning, Dr. Zhou proudly wrote a thesis and published it in the country’s most renowned medical journal. Because Dr. Nyx has always been very low-profile, it had been a long time since there was news of her. Suddenly being revealed by the country’s most veteran expert that both of them performed the same surgery together, the surprising part was not Dr. Zhou’s words of endorsement and admiration for Dr. Nyx—though it carried a strong fan-for-idol fanaticism—but rather, the always proud Dr. Zhou’s humble attitude towards Dr. Nyx, someone who normally disregards everyone. But it’s true, he has reasons to be proud.

This act shocked the domestic medical community. Many speculated about what triggered Dr. Zhou, but despite the jesting, Dr. Zhou’s attitude invisibly influenced the public, solidifying Dr. Nyx’s unshakable legendary status.

This is something that will be spoken of later.

Zhuang Fanxing was moved into the ICU ward, and her vitals were stable. Everything was heading in a positive direction.

Outside the ICU’s transparent glass, Zhuang Xiyue and Ruan Songxi watched the woman lying on the bed filled with tubes. Zhuang Xiyue clasped her hands and prayed, hoping her sister could overcome this hurdle. Her sister has lived a life full of hardships, not having had a single good day, praying to heaven to show mercy.

Ruan Songxi took one last look and said to Zhuang Xiyue, "Aunt, I have something urgent that requires me to leave for a while. Mom here will need your care."

Although he deeply wished to accompany his mom as she woke, there was something more important he had to attend to. After he deals with that person, he will be by his mother’s side constantly.

Seeing the child’s exhausted and worn-out face, Zhuang Xiyue tenderly said, "You haven’t closed your eyes for days. What could be so important..."

Ruan Songxi shook his head, stopping Zhuang Xiyue’s next words. "Aunt, it’s very important, otherwise I wouldn’t be leaving mom right now."

Zhuang Xiyue finally nodded. "Go ahead, don’t worry about your sister here."

"If mom wakes up, make sure to inform me right away."

Upon receiving Zhuang Xiyue’s assurance, Ruan Songxi patted Liang Wenwan on the shoulder and left with large strides.

Liang Wenwan pressed her lips, quickly chasing after him, "Song Xi, I’m coming with you."

Ruan Songxi furrowed his brows and coldly replied, "It’s dangerous, go back."

Liang Wenwan stubbornly shook her head, holding his hand, and said resolutely, "We agreed to face every storm together, besides my sister is still in their hands. No matter what, I must rescue her. I won’t hold you back." Liang Wenwan flashed a confident look, her eyes bright with determination, "I’ve attended women’s special training classes. Handling bad people is well within my abilities."

Faced with Liang Wenwan’s bright and steadfast gaze, Ruan Songxi found himself unable to refuse her, reluctantly tightening his grip on her hand, "If you’re not allowed to come, you’ll never let go. But remember, stay close to me at all times."

Liang Wenwan nodded eagerly, smiling sweetly like a little kitten.

For some reason, his right eyelid suddenly jumped heavily, a wave of unease surged in his heart. Liang Wenwan felt the increased grip of his hand and looked at him with concern, "What’s wrong?"

Ruan Songxi shook his head, his thin lips tightly sealed, "Nothing, let’s go."

As the two turned around, they saw a man and a woman standing sharply in front of them, their postures upright and dignified, carrying an air only soldiers possess.

The blond-haired man smiled, appearing somewhat frivolous, but when he spoke, it felt solemn.

"Mr. Ruan, Boss sent us to assist you. Just instruct us if there’s anything you need."

Ruan Songxi merely curled his lips in a smile. His cousin may seem cold on the outside but is warm-hearted inside, and he accepted the favor.

The four quickly left the hospital and rode toward the countryside, as the sky grew darker and the surroundings became more desolate.

On the way, Yellow Hair and Jiang Xiang learned the gist of the situation from Ruan Songxi, and ultimately, the car stopped in front of a dilapidated building standing amidst a barren mountain and wilderness. Over ten unfinished buildings lined up in succession in the wasteland, sitting alone in the pitch-black night, exuding an eerie and unsettling aura.

As they got out of the car, a beam of light shone towards them, followed by a shadow moving quickly in their direction. It was Zhu Qing.

"BOSS, our people have already gone in to search. There will be news soon. We’ve surrounded the area, so he won’t escape even if he has wings."

The police haven’t found this place yet, but it won’t be long, making time especially valuable for them.

Yellow Hair and Jiang Xiang surveyed the terrain, a serious look passing through their eyes simultaneously. "How long have you been searching?"

Zhu Qing glanced at the two of them, a man and a woman, who had an imposing presence that couldn’t be underestimated. He didn’t know who they were, but replied honestly, "Since this morning..."

It was already dark now, more than ten hours had passed. Even if the unfinished buildings had many rooms, with so many people searching room by room, it should be more than enough.

Yellow Hair let out a cold laugh, pulling out a gun from his waist. Seeing the gun in his hand, Zhu Qing jumped in surprise, as they were law-abiding citizens, subconsciously feeling tense.

The cold laugh was mixed with disdain and ridicule, Zhu Qing’s face changed, just as he was about to speak, BOSS’s cold gaze swept over, and instantly, he swallowed his words.

"It’s been so long and you still haven’t found them. Use your pig brain to think—what’s the matter?"

As Ruan Songxi’s cold voice rang out, Zhu Qing hung his head in guilt. He wasn’t stupid. He quickly grasped the key issue, "Could he have already escaped?"

"No, this place is remote, he couldn’t have run far, especially with a drag-along. He’s hiding here and might be secretly watching us."

Yellow Hair spoke while clutching the gun, approaching the nearest abandoned building.

Tracking was his forte. He quickly noticed something and signaled Zhu Qing, "Gather your people together and follow my instructions."

Zhu Qing looked instinctively at Ruan Songxi.

In the dark, Ruan Songxi’s expression was unclear, but his cold voice echoed with no warmth, "Follow his lead."
