Chapter 377: 377: The Zhan family is in trouble
Zhan Lichuan had an extremely peaceful sleep.
This might be one of the most peaceful and comfortable sleep that he ever had since he was paralyzed…..
If he wasn’t disturbed by the phone call.
Zhan Lichuan had already switched his phone to silent mode because of the surgery, but Jing Qian didn’t. In addition, Jing Qian already set on her phone that she wouldn’t answer any unknown caller and had already blocked the numbers that were unnecessary, so she didn’t receive many phone calls.
However, when Jing Qian was quietly waiting for Zhan Lichuan to wake up, her phone rang.
Zhan Lichuan’s eyes opened immediately, and a sharp, stern look immediately emerged in his eyes.
Zhan Lichuan, who was suddenly woken up by the phone call, had a bad feeling in his heart that caused him to feel anxious.
“Who is it?”
He had never asked a question in regard to Jing Qian’s privacy, and this was the first time that he had crossed the line.
Jing Qian took out her phone and said the caller ID, “It’s Butler Xu.”
Seeing the bad emotions on Zhan Lichuan’s face, Jing Qian immediately answered the call.
“Butler…”
“Young Mistress, how is the Young Master?” Before Jing Qian could finish her sentence, Butler Xu had already interrupted her.
“Umm.. he’s fine.” Jing Qian quite liked Butler Xu, so she didn’t mind that the other party interrupted her.
“Master was involved in an accident and is now in the emergency department. He didn’t ask for much and only wished the best for the Young Master. Therefore, Young Mistress, we are leaving him in your hands. We have already sent men to protect the Young Master, which is why you shouldn’t have to worry about his safety. However, before the Master wakes up, we are hoping that you will be able to keep Young Master there. No matter who it is from the Zhan family that comes to meet you, do not believe what they say. Master…. would really appreciate what you’ve done.”
“Butler Xu, you didn’t have to say that.”
Jing Qian’s eyes immediately turned cold as she answered the call, and Zhan Lichuan was aware of it. With only one thought in his mind, he immediately sat up.
“What are you doing?”
Seeing how Zhan Lichuan got up on his own, Jing Qian immediately went over to support him.
After all, he has just completed a major surgery. Even though the only problem to be cautious of is the wound on his back, his body would still hurt, and he would have to bear with it on his own.
Since he had just had a vertebrae placement and just reconnected his nerve, it wouldn’t hurt much if he didn’t move, but once he did, it would be extremely painful. Jing Qian had already prepared the drugs needed from the basement floor so that she could make him some painkillers to help with the pain.
When Butler Xu finished telling Jing Qian about the situation, he could hear Jing Qian’s voice. He realized that the Young Master must have heard him as well, and a bad feeling came from within him.
Thereafter, Jing Qian ended the call. When Butler Xu tried calling her again, no one was answering the phone.
He tried calling Zhan Lichuan as well, but no one picked up. He had no other choice but to give up calling them.
“Uncle Xu, you’re injured as well. Let’s get you some bandages first.”
Zhe Yan continued comforting him, “The Young Master isn’t as weak as you imagine. He would definitely take care of himself. The most important person now is Master Zhan. You should bandage up those wounds first so that you can take good care of Master Zhan.”
“Zhe Yan, are you sure that the protection around the Young Master is sufficient? If anything happens to the Young Master, I wouldn’t be able to live with it.”
Zhe Yan nodded his head. “Don’t worry about it. The Young Master has already appointed Yun Zhou for it, and Yun Zhou is the one who is personally there to protect him. There wouldn’t be any problem.”
Butler Xu nodded his head as well. “That’s great! But…. I’m still worried about Young Master. Why don’t you head over there to check if everything is alright?”
“I can’t. Without the Young Master’s orders, I can’t leave my spot. I will be right here, Uncle Xu. Please do not worry.”
Butler Xu then slowly let out a breath of relief.
“The important thing now is whether Master Zhan can make it through this time.”
Chapter 378: 378: Jing Qian’s love
“What are you doing?”
Seeing how Zhan Lichuan had already sat up on his own and was even trying to put on his shoes, Jing Qian quickly rushed over to hold him. She placed her hand on the part of his back where the sutures were, afraid that he might tear it open. Then, without her famous unique, dragging tone, she said to Zhan Lichuan with a hint of frustration, “What are you trying to do? We just close this wound, and it can be torn open easily!”
Zhan Lichuan then realized that he was able to sit up on his own and could even move his legs.
He was extremely delighted. The pain that came from his back, which caused a sharp, chilly look in his eyes, was immediately softened from the happiness of being able to move his legs.
As he turned to Jing Qian and saw the anger in her eyes, he noticed how much less the anger she was showing through her voice was in comparison.
“I’m sorry, Qianqian.”
There were no excuses, only a simple, regretful apology.
As a big boss, Jing Qian was the classical type where she preferred the ‘soft’ approach over the ‘hard’ ones.
Seeing how Zhan Lichuan was apologizing to her with such sincerity, the dissatisfaction in her slowly disappeared, and the only thing left in her heart was the hidden worry that she had for him.
It felt as if someone was holding onto her heart and it was being twisted—it just felt uncomfortable.
“You don’t have to apologize.” Jing Qian’s voice turned soft and continued, “I’m just worried about your pain. Plus, if you tear it open, you may have to return to the operating theater. Wouldn’t we waste more time then?”
Perhaps it was because he wasn’t under any anesthesia during the surgery and along with the pain and blood loss, Zhan Lichuan was looking ghastly pale at this moment. His pale, white face paired with his deep features made him look even sicker.
Zhan Lichuan stared at Jing Qian. There was a hint of happiness after learning that Jing Qian cares about him and another hint of obedience after being lectured by his wife, along with gratitude and love, in his eyes.
As she was being stared at by this man who had an extremely beautiful face, Jing Qian panicked, and she decided to change the topic, “I know that you’re worried but Butler Xu already said that you’re the only person that grandfather cares about. If you go to him in this state and he learns that you tore your wound apart causing an infection that leads to a fever and coupled with the state that your heart is in, wouldn’t you cause even more trouble for him?”
“But I’m really worried.” Zhan Lichuan lowered his head and was completely filled with guilt. “It’s my fault that I didn’t protect him.”
“Did you send your men over to him?” Jing Qian asked.
“I did. When you answered the call from Butler Xu, I already told the rest of them to stay by his side.”
“That’s good. I’ll talk to Professor Hong Lu, and she will be following us to the hospital to check up on grandfather for us. Don’t worry. As long as he is still being treated, it means that we still have the chance to save him. As long as Hong Lu is there, she will be able to save grandfather’s life. We will be there as well.”
Upon hearing that he would be able to go as well, Zhan Lichuan’s eyes lit up with hope.
“We’re going as well?”
“Aren’t you worried about him? Instead of being worried about him here, why don’t we see him personally?”
Jing Qian had already turned around and informed Hong Lu about the situation, and as Zhan Lichuan looked at this scene, his eyes were suddenly filled with tears. It is a sense of happiness that he has never had and has never experienced.
“Alright, Professor Hong Lu has already promised that she’ll do it for us. She will be leaving now. You’re still recovering, which is why we may be a little slower than her. Calm down. Grandfather is a kind man, and he would be blessed by the gods. He will be fine.”
“Okay.”
“Professor Hong Lu told me that there is a group of men outside. Are they yours?”
“Some of them.”
In other words, there are some that aren’t?
That’s peculiar.
“Would your men be able to take care of it?”
“Don’t worry about it.”
After being reassured by Zhan Lichuan, Jing Qian immediately held onto him and placed him in his magical wheelchair.
