But as soon as she saw Qin Zhiyou, she was so angry she wanted to tear him apart.
“Qin Zhiyou, if anything happens to my mother….”
Qin Zhiyou hurriedly grabbed her hand. Even though Lu Weixi tried to struggle, she couldn’t break free.
“I know. It’s all my fault.”
He nodded, wishing all the world’s experts could fly over now, just to save Lu’s mother’s life!
After so much upheaval, it was already broad daylight. Lu Weixi went to the glass window of the intensive care unit again, anxiously peering inside.
Qin Zhiyou followed her the whole time, not daring to say a word or make a noise. He stuck by her side, waiting patiently.
This time, Lu’s mother’s tumor recurred due to emotional fluctuation, so she had surgery. She’s old, and the anesthesia wears off slowly for her, which means she wakes up slowly too. Also, having battled cancer for years, her vitality was greatly depleted. Honestly, the success of the surgery alone means little. What matters most is the postoperative recovery. Given her physical condition, she might not last long even with the operation.
Seeing that it was time to go to work, the usually hard-working Lu Weixi didn’t even think about going to work at all.
Qin Zhiyou at the side wanted to remind her, but didn’t dare to. Therefore, he deliberately brought it up while instructing Secretary Wang, “I won’t be going to the company these few days. The company should proceed according to the emergency plan. If there’s urgent business, delegate it to the vice president first. If they can’t handle it, then it would be passed on to me.”
Secretary Wang nodded. It was clear that Lu Weixi heard it too and quickly called her boss. She just said, “Boss Liao, I would like to take a leave.”
Without even asking for the reason, Boss Liao promptly agreed: “Alright, take a break. You’ve been working hard. Come back when you have time.”
Lu Weixi made a tired hum in response, then hung up the phone.
By midday, Lu Weixi was still in the same position, standing outside the glass window. Fortunately, Qin Zhiyou had booked the hospital’s most expensive VIP room. There were few patients in the empty hallways, it wasn’t noisy, and nobody bothered them. Otherwise, with the addition of other people’s disturbances to her lack of food, drink, and rest, she would have surely broken down.
But they hadn’t eaten anything all morning and afternoon, and Lu Weixi had barely even drunk water. Naturally, Qin Zhiyou didn’t dare to let her go out to eat. He quickly called and asked Secretary Wang to bring them meals.
After a short while, the hot meal was delivered. Considering her current physical condition, Qin Zhiyou brought easy-to-digest porridge, and the side dishes were light and low in oil and salt.
He opened the lid, allowing the aroma of the food to waft out and attract Lu Weixi’s attention.
Then he carefully approached her, speaking softly: “Wei Hui, you haven’t eaten anything all morning, have some.”
Lu Weixi didn’t even look back. She just ignored him.
Qin Zhiyou stepped closer: “Wei Hui, eat something first. No matter how anxious you are about your mother’s condition, it won’t help. Don’t let your health deteriorate while your mother gets better.”
Lu Weixi still ignored him.
Qin Zhiyou didn’t know what to do; he tried reaching out to grab her arm. But as soon as his fingertips touched Lu Weixi, she swung round abruptly. Her gaze was as piercing as a knife, glaring at him as if he were her enemy.
Under her gaze, Qin Zhiyou felt his body tense. Just when he didn’t know what to do, he suddenly saw Lu’s mother in the intensive care unit – her fingers were moving..
