Chapter 178

Nell and the medical staff lifted Melanie into the ambulance. Shaun remembered Lily’s instructions and stopped Neil “Lily said not to touch the silver needles and to perform Merry first

“Although Ms. Brooks’s silver needies sealed Mrs. Laurier’s acupoints, the situation is very critical,” Neil replied grimly.

“I don’t care what you do. Save Mrs. Laurier!” Shaun was almost shouting at the top of his voice

Neil pursed his lips but didn’t say anything else.

Meanwhile, Loid tracked the hit–and–run whicle. The driver seemed to be quite familiar with the roads of Lagersfield He managed to evade Loid’s pursuit several times. Lold stepped on the gas pedal to accelerate. However, the car disappeared from his sight.

Lold’s expression darkened. Suddenly, his phone ring. It was a call from Lily.

He quickly answered and asked, “Lily, how’s my mom?”

He assumed that Lily was assisting in saving Melanie

“Melanie has been handed over to Neil I’m chasing after the culprit. Follow my location!”

Lily’s phone resembled a sleek, ultra–portable laptop at the moment, she stopped and used the satellite system to track the culprit’s whereabouts. After successfully locating them, she called Lold.

Melanie’s condition was critical, so they couldn’t waste too much time trying to catch the culprit

“Okay” Lold hung up the call and followed Lily’s location.

Lily can and leaped. Though she was running, she was faster than the cars. In a matter of minutes, she caught up with the vehicle ahead.

She sent a silver needle flying toward the car, causing it to swerve violently on the street. She then threw out a few more silver needles to puncture the tires. With that, the car finally stopped

Just then, Lold arrived. He looked at Lily and pulled her into his arms anxiously. He asked, “Are you hurt anywhere?

“No.” Lily stepped out of his embrace and opened the door of the culprit’s car. She dragged a man out of the vehicle.

Next, Uly pierced several silver needles into the man’s acupoints. She turned to Loid and said, “We should go to the hospital to ensure Melanie is okay. You can deal with this person later.”

“Okay.” Lold didn’t say much. He quickly restarted the car, and they headed to the hospital.

At Lagersfield City Hospital, a crowd had gathered outside the operating rooms. They were all prominent figures of Lagersfield who were there to show their concern. Stefan’s face was pale, and he was in a bad mood. He listened to the chatter of the crowd with a furrowed brow.

Due to his exemplary upbringing, he refrained from getting angry. However, he said in a polite but distant tone, “Thank you all for your concern. My wife is still in surgery. Having too many people around would disturb her rest later. Please leave for now

Since Stefan had spoken, all the people present left without another word. Only Shaun, Daniel, and Stefan remained at the entrance of the operating room.

Nell was inside, together with the hospital dean and the chief surgeon. They had already prepared the operating room when Sham called.

At this moment, they were all working to save the patient.

Soon, the door of the operating room opened. Neil came out with a grave expression. He even showed a hint of sadness.

He approached Stefan and apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Laurier. I did my best, but I couldn’t save Mrs. Laurier.”

When Loid and Lily arrived, they heard Neil’s words. Loid stopped in his tracks with his deep gaze fixed in the direction of the operating room. He couldn’t utter a word.

On the contrary, Shaun became agitated. “What do you mean you did your best? Answer me, Neil! You’re the best doctor in the medical research institute. How could you…” Before Shaun could finish his sentence, Lily suddenly grabbed Nell’s collar and pulled him back.

“Move!” she commanded

Lily walked into the operating room. She glanced at the group of doctors and nurses. Then, she said in an icy tone, “All of you, get out!”
