His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1574

Chapter 1574 More Serious Than Expected

Ashandra Knightson called next. Like the others before her, she wished for Iris' grandmother-in-law to get well soon.

"I had been looking forward to you coming to the academy after so long and hanging out together with our other friends, but such an unfortunate thing just had to happen," Ashandra said with a sigh. "I don't know what's going on with us lately. First, something happened in Paris that prompted me to end my art exhibition ahead of schedule. And now, something also happened to your family member needing you to leave Munich and rush back to China."

Iris also sighed. Now that Ashandra mentioned it, Iris realized that her friend was right.

"It should just be a coincidence," Iris said.

"Should be," Ashandra echoed.

Iris didn't believe that they were having bad luck. There were so many good, exciting things that happened to her and her family and friends. Perhaps this so-called bad luck was simply an unfortunate coincidence.

The two women didn't chat for too long because Iris needed to go.

She saw her husband speaking at the front desk. Iris walked to Jin Liwei but didn't disturb him. She continued checking her messages on her phone.

Theresa Blipsburg hadn't replied yet. She was probably still in America busy with her own affairs.

"Xiulan, my dear." Huang Yuyan appeared.

Grandpa Lu came next, followed by Chen Fei. Iris' glam team and the other members of her entourage were also ready to go.

Their luggage was now being wheeled to the waiting vehicles outside.

Even Alric Bauer who didn't have to leave with them still came downstairs to see them off. Chen Fei was now discussing the upcoming Orchidia launch with him.

Grandpa Lu played with the now-hyper Little Mochi. The baby was running all over the hotel lobby. His steps were unsteady, but thankfully, he didn't fall down.

Finally, Jin Liwei finished checking all of them out except for Alric Bauer. He held Iris' hand.

"Let's go home, love," he whispered.

"Okay," she said, giving his hand a squeeze.

Half a day later, the jumbo plane LX Air landed in China. It was evening local time.

The headlines already featured the news about superstar Jin Chonglin and CEO Jin Liwei's grandmother being rushed to the hospital after suffering from a heart attack. Since Iris Long was now the Young Madam of the Jin family, her name was also included in the news alongside her husband and brother-in-law.

Apparently, the leak originated from the hospital itself. The hospital administration already launched an internal investigation into the patient confidentiality violation even before being prompted to do so. They must be trying to avoid offending the Jin family.

The Jin family, however, didn't care about it at all. For now, at least. They were the most concerned about the condition of their family's old matriarch.

Upon touching down, Iris and Jin Liwei immediately transferred to a waiting helicopter headed to the hospital. They entrusted their sleeping twins to Dom and the others who would drive straight home to Dragon Palace.

Huang Yuyan, Grandpa Lu, and Chen Fei all joined the husband and wife in riding the helicopter.

"Grandpa Lu, are you sure that you want to come with us right now?" Iris asked. "You're not too tired?"

"Your grandpa already rested enough in the plane," Grandpa Lu replied. "Don't look down on this old man, my girl! I'm old, yes, but I can outrun all of you any day. Don't you believe me? Tell me I want to know!"

Iris and the others chuckled. "Yes, Grandpa Lu. We believe you."

He snorted before smiling. "That's a good look on all of you. We should all be smiling, not crying. Your Grandma Li is still alive. Let's be thankful instead of worrying about what might have happened. Once you reach my age, you begin to have a broader, deeper appreciation of life. I've watched so many of my family, friends, acquaintances, and contemporaries leave before me. At the same time, I've also witnessed so many new additions to our family like my granddaughters-in-law and precious great-grandbabies. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

"I've known your Grandma Li for as long as I remember because she was the one who gave my best friend and brother, your Grandpa Jin, a wonderful family. She's like a sister to me. After your grandfather and father's deaths, the two of us depended on each other to remain strong for the family and also for the company. I'm sure that she also feels the same way as I do—thankful for being alive for as long as we have and grateful for our amazing family who continues to love and care about us."

Huang Yuyan sobbed quietly after listening to the old man's wise words.

Iris also had teary eyes. She glanced at her husband whose face and entire body looked tense, like a crossbow strung too tightly. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it.

He looked at her and forced a smile. It looked unnatural on his face.
