My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 178

Neil 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 surgery first."

"Although Ms. Brooks's silver needles 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 vehicle. The driver seemed to be quite familiar with the roads of Lagersfield. He managed to evade Loid's pursuit several times. Loid stepped on the gas pedal to accelerate. However, the car disappeared from his sight.

Loid's expression darkened. Suddenly, his phone rang. 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 Loid.

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

"Okay." Loid hung up the call and followed Lily's location.

Lily ran 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, Loid 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.

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 Neil's collar and pulled him back.

"Move!" she commanded.

He was in the way.

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!"
