His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1072 - End Both Existences

Paltry hits? The mouths of the hospital staff around them twitched. Which ones of those loud, painful-sounding hits were paltry? Even they hurt just watching.

"Jing, are you protecting that asshole?!" her best friend asked in fury and dismay.

Chen Fei tried to pull her away from between the grandfather and grandson but Long Jinjing refused to budge. Long Jinjing was afraid that Grandpa Lu would start hitting Lu Zihao again.

"You’re protecting me?" Lu Zihao asked the same question next. He sounded pleased, even smug.

"Long Jinjing!" Chen Fei looked frustrated at her best friend and murderous towards Lu Zihao who now had a hint of a smile on his devilishly handsome, scarred face.

"I...." Long Jinjing bit her lower lip and looked at Grandpa Lu with a pink face. "Grandpa Lu, please don’t hit him anymore."

"Why don’t you want me to hit that pinhead? He deserves it for bullying Jinjing my girl! Tell me, do you still care about him? I want to know!"

"I love him, Grandpa Lu."

Pin-drop silence.

Then the sound of a bunch of snacks falling on the floor disturbed the shocked stillness.

"Ah, my maiden heart can’t take it!" Dom lifted a manicured hand in a dainty manner over his forehead and pretended to swoon against the nearby wall.

That was when Long Jinjing finally realized what she said. Did she just confess to Lu Zihao, her ex-boyfriend, in front of everyone? Oh God, she did! Horror filled her. She wished that the floor could open up and swallow her.

"Oh no!" She covered her burning face and ran away.

"Jing!" Chen Fei glared at Lu Zihao first, and then gave a polite nod at Grandpa Lu before pulling Dom, so that they could chase after Long Jinjing together.

Lu Zihao was about to chase after them, no, chase only after his woman, but a strong hand gripped his arm and prevented him from leaving. It was Grandpa Lu who shook his head at him.

He could always overpower the old man with pure strength alone, but just as the thought entered his mind, a fierce warning reverberated within his consciousness followed by a sharp, almost crippling pain throughout his body, especially his head.

"You dare!" the remnant’s enraged voice attacked his mind.

"Argh!" He doubled over and fell to his knees before twisting his whole body to the floor.

"Haohao! My boy, what’s happening to you?! Tell me, I want to know! Doctor, where’s the doctor?! You’re nurses, right?! Quick! Help my beloved grandson!!!"

Lu Zihao was no longer aware of what was happening around him anymore. The remnant had gone crazy attacking his consciousness.

"Touch my grandpa and I’ll end both of our existences! I’m not kidding! I’ll really do it!"

Lu Zihao, no, Nikolai wanted to explain that he wasn’t even planning on harming the old man, that it was just the kind of automatic thought instilled into him as the Vetrov heir. The remnant, however, didn’t give him any chance to correct the misunderstanding.

The last thing he saw was Grandpa Lu’s frightened face. It was the first time that he saw such an expression on the old man. His heart hurt upon seeing it. But before he could reassure the old man, everything went dark.

###

Later that night, a distraught Long Jinjing continued to sob beside Lu Zihao who was now lying unconscious in the bed inside his own private VIP room next to Iris’ room in the same floor of the hospital.

She couldn’t believe that Lu Zihao was now comatose!

What in the world happened to him? She left after embarrassing herself by confessing her love for him in front of everyone and he fell into coma right afterwards just like that?!

She was beside herself with fear and worry for him. Did he have a serious illness that she didn’t know about?

At first, she thought that it was just a joke. However, when she heard Grandpa Lu’s booming shouts that were filled with the same fear that she was feeling now over the phone when someone called Dom to inform him about what happened, she had no choice but to believe. When she returned upstairs with Chen Fei and Dom and saw all the doctors and nurses wheeling the unconscious Lu Zihao away, she almost fainted.

They waited until all the tests were done until the doctors allowed them to finally enter Lu Zihao’s room.

Long Jinjing held his big hand and pressed it against her wet cheeks. She continued to cry and worry while praying for him to wake up soon.

This time, Chen Fei didn’t stop her from acting like this. She also looked shocked at this unexpected development. Dom returned to accompany the sleeping Iris in the other room because Jin Liwei had to temporarily leave his wife to try and calm down Grandpa Lu. Like Long Jinjing, the old man was also beside himself with fear and worry for his grandson.

The door opened and the doctor entered the room. Everyone shot towards him and asked questions. It took a few seconds before he could calm everyone down to tell them about Lu Zihao’s condition.

"Our preliminary tests indicate that there’s nothing wrong with the patient. In fact, the numbers show that he’s a very healthy man in his prime. Extremely healthy."

"Then why in the bloody world did my grandson fall into coma?! I want to know!" Grandpa Lu’s emotional voice boomed in the entire room.

"Maybe...he has some kind of hidden illness that we haven’t detected yet?" Long Jinjing suggested.

"We’re already considering that," the doctor replied. "We have to conduct more tests to know for sure. For now, we already stabilized his condition. All we can do is wait for him to wake up."
