Chapter 70: The Mainstay Falls

About half an hour later, the operating room doors opened, and Zhang Qifan and a line of doctors and nurses walked out. A male doctor lamented, "Sorry, the patient's condition suddenly worsened, and we couldn't resuscitate him. We have tried our best. May you find comfort in your time of sorrow."

The hope that Xiuqin had just started to regain suddenly came crashing down, as she staggered and collapsed to the floor. Her husband was the pillar of their family, and in this instant, she felt as if her whole world had fallen apart.

"What happened to Daddy?" the little girl asked tearfully, looking at the doctor and then at her mother seated on the ground. Clinging to Xiuqin, she said, "Mommy, why hasn't Daddy come out yet?"

"Daddy said he would take me to the amusement park and eat at KFC after he finished his work."

Qin Yu rushed into the emergency room, but the man's vital spark had already been extinguished, and even he could not reverse what had happened.
