His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1575

Chapter 1575 Prepare for the Worst

"We already performed lifesaving surgery on the old madam," the doctor continued. "We managed to prevent further damage to her heart, brain, and other organs, but all of these have taken a toll on the patient's already fragile health. Basically, all we can do now is monitor her and wait for her to wake up. The longer she stays unconscious, the more dangerous her condition will become. My team and I will do our best to save the old madam, but at the end of the day, we aren't gods. Please prepare yourself for the worst."

Grandpa Lu grabbed Jin Liwei's arm to prevent himself from falling over. Despite his speech about having a broader, deeper appreciation of life during their helicopter ride earlier, hearing about the extent of his friend's critical condition was enough to take his breath away.

Jin Liwei held on to Grandpa Lu, helping to stabilize the old man while also drawing strength from him. He closed his eyes and took a few deep, shaky breaths.

When he opened his eyes, he found that his vision had become blurry. Tears pooled in his eyes, but he wouldn't let them fall.

"My grandmother is still alive," he said in a forced tone full of conviction. "She'll wake up. I'm sure she will. She won't leave us without saying anything to us, her family."

"You're right, my boy." Grandpa Lu's voice was hoarse. "Zhiruo is a strong woman. She'll fight through this."

"En." Jin Liwei nodded.

He noticed the old man's hold on his arm had become heavy. He sighed. "Grandpa Lu, why don't you take a seat in the living area first? I'll follow you after I finish speaking with the doctor."

Grandpa Lu hesitated and took a look at his friend.

Grandma Li was now unconscious, hooked to so many lifesaving medical machines, and looking smaller than usual. Her normally cold and regal aura was nowhere to be seen. She looked like a very ill old woman. Nevertheless, her original beauty weathered through time could still be faintly seen.

"So you've come to this point, Li Zhiruo," Grandpa Lu murmured, sighing. Then he told Jin Liwei, "Alright, my boy. Go talk to the doctor. This old man will walk myself out."

"Let me help you," Jin Liwei said.

Grandpa Lu pretended to glare at him. "This old man is still as strong as a bull! You don't believe your grandpa? Tell me, I want to know!"

A faint smile broke out of Jin Liwei's grave expression. "I believe you."

The old man harrumphed, straightened his back, and walked out of the enclosed patient's room to the living area outside.

"Uncle, how's Mom?" Huang Yuyan asked him.

Tears flowed down her eyes. Her face was already red and a little swollen from all the crying. Her daughter-in-law, Iris, held her and patted her back, trying to comfort her.

Grandpa Lu sighed. "Your mother-in-law is still alive, Yuyan. Let's all pray that she passes this dangerous period, shall we?"

Huang Yuyan sobbed in her daughter-in-law's arms again.

Iris glanced at her husband, who was speaking with the doctor in the enclosed patient's room. She could see them, including her unconscious grandmother-in-law, through the glass windows but couldn't hear what they were saying. Looking at her husband's grave expression, however, was enough to let her know that her grandmother-in-law's condition was indeed more serious than they all initially expected. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

"What?!" Chen Fei gasped in an urgent whisper. "Grandma Li suffered from a heart attack and stroke at the same time?!!!"

Her words attracted Iris and Huang Yuyan's attention.

"What do you mean by that?!" Huang Yuyan demanded, interrupting the conversation between her younger son and his fiancée.

Jin Chonglin looked like a mess. His face was full of tears, snot, and perhaps even saliva. Despite this, Chen Fei still wiped his face without complaining. She also continued comforting him.

Those who knew her as Orchidia's poison-mouthed devil COO would definitely get a shock if they saw her acting so tenderly like this to another person. They might think that she was possessed by a bad (or good?) spirit.

People in love could really do anything for the one they loved.

Back to the present, Chen Fei looked a little guilty as she glanced back and forth between her fiancé and her future mother-in-law. In her earlier shock, she had been unable to control the volume of her voice. She elbowed the crying Jin Chonglin to clarify his grandmother's true condition to his mother.

But before Jin Chonglin could speak, Jin Liwei, the doctor and the nurse exited the patient's room.

Huang Yuyan abandoned questioning her younger son and immediately zeroed in on her eldest son. Jin Liwei was much more reliable than Jin Chonglin anyway. He should be able to clarify things for everyone in a succinct manner.

Seeing that nobody was questioning him anymore, the doctor quickly excused himself and left the VIP suite with the nurse.

Jin Liwei glanced at his wife. Iris understood the need in his eyes.

She temporarily left her mother-in-law and stood beside her husband. She held his hand. He quickly clasped their fingers together, holding her tightly, as if afraid that she would let go.
