Chapter 1350 - Another Newer Version
Iris' expression became cold and hard as she glanced at Long Jinjing. She didn't retort but her eyes looked like they could kill. Even the furious Long Jinjing was intimidated and had to step back.
"Don't say that, Sis Jing!" Dom immediately defended Iris. "It's not boss' fault that Big Brother Boss fell into coma all of a sudden."
"You're upset," Jiang Ying Yue said next. "That's why you're saying that. But I know that you don't really blame your own sister for what happened to your husband."
Dom nodded. "Boss cares about Big Brother Boss and vice versa!"
Long Jinjing avoided all of their gazes and just focused on the closed door of the hospital room where the doctor was still performing various tests on the comatose Lu Zihao. Her emotions were all over the place. If something happened to her husband at this point of her life when she just gave birth to their children, she didn't know what to do.
Grandpa Lu who had been silent all this time slapped his thigh. The sound startled almost everyone except for the cold-faced Iris. "This already happened before to Haohao. He woke up back then so I know that he'll wake up from this again soon. Jinjing my girl, stay strong! I know that you love my grandson but there's no need to blame anybody about this matter. This old man suspects that falling into coma is one of the sequelae resulting from his serious ski injury back then."
Long Jinjing continued sobbing.
The old man sighed. "Dom, Ying Yue, accompany Jinjing my girl, alright?"
The two agreed.
Grandpa Lu stood up and patted Iris' shoulder next. "Don't mind your sister's words just now, my girl. She's just upset."
Iris didn't reply but still nodded. Even so, Long Jinjing's accusation still affected her. She didn't want to stay here anymore and left.
Grandpa Lu looked like he wanted to tell her something but decided to let her go. Dom and Jiang Ying Yue looked worried but they didn't stop her either. Long Jinjing didn't even glance at her.
Well, Iris didn't look at her either.
She encountered her husband at the hospital wing's entryway. Jin Liwei had been waiting for her. His expression looked dark…and furious.
Looking at him, she understood. "You heard?"
"Long Jinjing is too much!" Jin Liwei didn't appreciate what the woman said to his wife.
He had thought highly of Long Jinjing before this because of her kindness and competency at work. Now, however, his impression of her had plunged down the drain. It was understandable that she would be upset because of what happened to her husband but that wasn't a valid reason to blame his wife.
Jin Liwei felt so indignant for his wife's sake. He almost marched to Long Jinjing when he overheard what she said to his wife and wanted to slap the woman's face. It was only because he noticed his wife maintaining her composure despite the hurtful words that he managed to restrain his temper. He knew by instinct that his wife wouldn't want him to interfere in how she handled her friendships. Nevertheless, he still couldn't stop himself from boiling in anger.
"You just arrived?" Iris asked while taking his hand and interlacing their fingers together.
"En. I rushed home from the company as soon as I heard what happened to my brother-in-law."
The two of them left the hospital wing and headed to the indoor forest. Both of them were upset. They didn't want to bring this kind of negative energy around their babies. It was better to cool their heads off first before seeing the twins.
"How do you feel?" Jin Liwei asked as they walked through the lush vegetation in the indoor forest.
Iris touched a hibiscus blossom along the trail where they were walking. She didn't reply—no, she couldn't reply because she honestly didn't know how to name all the exact emotions that she was feeling at the moment. Everything felt so chaotic.
Jin Liwei stopped walking, forcing her to stop as well. He pulled her into his arms and rubbed her back. "Everything will be okay, baby. Whatever happens, you'll always have me."
"Yeah." She wrapped her arms around his waist and tried to let go of the weight bearing down on her shoulders even for just a few moments.
Ever since her fight with her brother yesterday, she felt awful. When her brother fell into coma today, she felt more horrible. Then when Long Jinjing blamed her for what happened, it was like gravity tripled for her, pressuring her down until she almost fell flat on the ground.
