Chapter 620 - 601: Sent into the ICU
Within just an hour, Lou Xi felt as though all her strength had been drained. When she left the Qin Family, she was so exhausted that she leaned against the back seat, not wanting to say a single word.
The partition between the front and rear seats was raised, providing strong privacy.
The car was driving on the road, heading to the Qin Family.
She knew that at the Qin Family, she would have another tough battle to fight.
This road was much more difficult than she had imagined, and she didn’t know how long she could keep going.
"The people of the Qin Family are harder to deal with than I imagined." Ji Nanming supported one hand on the car window, "Tell me, what do you want? Qin Mobai’s property, or the whole Qin Family?"
There was a probing look in Ji Nanming’s eyes; it seemed he was eager to know what Lou Xi’s cards were.
"I have no interest in the Qin Family or the Qin Family." What Lou Xi wanted was never money; she only wanted Qin Mobai to be safe.
"Lou Xi, you’re not being honest. If you don’t tell me what you want, I can’t help you."
"I told you before, I don’t trust you."
Ji Nanming shrugged. Being ordered around by someone who doesn’t trust you is truly not a pleasant experience.
"OK, let’s just say I meddled in business." Ji Nanming leaned back against the seat, "But you need to cooperate with me. If Elina sees our ’brother-sister’ discord, she’ll be upset."
"Don’t worry, I don’t want her to be sad either."
Perhaps this was the first time they had reached a consensus.
Lou Xi’s thoughts were now chaotic; apart from Qin Mobai’s few good brothers and Su Lin, she didn’t dare trust anyone else.
At this moment, Lou Xi’s phone rang. It was a call from the hospital in the Capital.
But in the car, it wasn’t convenient for Lou Xi to take the call directly.
As if sensing Lou Xi’s discomfort and urgency, Ji Nanming tapped the driver’s seat back, signaling him to pull over.
Just as Lou Xi was about to place her hand on the car door, Ji Nanming had already opened his car door, simultaneously telling the driver, "Get down and have a smoke."
Thus, Lou Xi watched as the suit-clad Ji Nanming and the similarly uniformed driver both got out, standing at the car’s rear to smoke.
Actually, smoking was just an excuse, merely to provide Lou Xi a safe environment for conversation.
Lou Xi didn’t have time to thank Ji Nanming; she needed to take the call first.
The call was answered.
"Mrs. Qin, Mr. Qin just had a lung infection and was sent to the ICU. If convenient, could you come over?"
"Lung infection? Is it serious? How is he now?" Upon hearing that Qin Mobai was in the ICU, Lou Xi’s heart was in suspense.
Qin Mobai was shot; he lost too much blood and went into shock before the surgery. The small hospital’s doctors weren’t skilled, and many accidents occurred during the operation.
The post-surgery recovery wasn’t satisfactory either.
"He’s still in a coma. If he can’t come out of the ICU by this afternoon, he’ll need another surgery. But surgery is risky, Mrs. Qin; you’d better come here."
Coming here meant it was likely that Qin Mobai might not make it...
Thinking of this, Lou Xi’s long-repressed tears finally broke the dam.
She wanted to see Qin Mobai, desperately wanted to.
If Qin Mobai were gone, everything she wished to protect would have no meaning.
These things were just what she wanted to help Qin Mobai keep.
If she couldn’t...
"I’ll come as soon as possible; please do everything to save him, I beg you!"
"We’ll do our best."
This was something doctors and nurses often said— we’ll do our best.
But at the end of doing their best, many still parted ways with the heavens.
