“He’s awake, but his readings are far from normal. I worked on this prescription last night. Let’s hope this works.” She placed the pills on the bedside table.
“Thank you, Aunt,” Lu Zhao said as he drank the medicine with Luo Ying’s help.
Luo Ying took a napkin and wiped the water from the corner of his mouth.
“I have some news to tell you,” Dr. Cheng said lightly. “The old man called to ask about your well-being when you were unconscious.”
!!
Lu Zhao smiled coldly. “A courtesy call? For me? He’s just worried there’s no one to run the business.”
They were speaking of Lu Zhao’s grandfather, Lu Wei. This old man had always been as flirtatious as Lu Zhao’s father, and he seemed to have never been satisfied with Lu Zhao and Luo Ying’s marriage.
Luo Ying remembered this old man attempting to harm the original Luo Ying many times.
Lu Wei was not concerned about Lu Zhao’s survival, he was here to ensure that in the event of Lu Zhao’s death, the company would fall into his hands.
Bah, what a rotten old man.
The doctor nodded. “It’s the old thing’s birthday next month. I’m afraid you’ll have to take Luo Ying to the Lu Residence.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Ying started feeling anxious.
The original Luo Ying had paid Lu Zhao a visit before she got married. The Lu Family relatives were never easy to deal with. They were even more difficult to deal with than Su Ran.
The original Luo Ying had stumbled about in her naivety and offended them all. They were going to rip her to shreds in this meeting.
“You don’t have to go if you don’t want to. It’s fine.” Lu Zhao’s warm hand held Luo Ying’s hand and slowly rubbed it, making her feel extremely safe.
“It’s okay, I can go. You don’t have to worry,” Luo Ying said.
Seeing Luo Ying’s determined eyes, Lu Zhao reached out and touched Luo Ying’s head. “You’re not going to enjoy this visit.”
“It’s okay, I must go through this.” Luo Ying shook her head.
The doctor coughed and said, “In that cast, you should rest well. I’ll come back for a checkup later. I’ll let Xiao Ting handle the company’s affairs for the time being.”
After saying that, she left.
The room fell silent. Lu Zhao reached out to pull Luo Ying into his arms. “I messed up. If I’d discovered the Lin Family’s deception in advance, you wouldn’t have suffered so much.”
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault. Don’t worry.” Luo Ying buried her face in his arms and rubbed it a few times. “I believe you.”
Luo Ying raised her head and gently kissed Lu Zhao’s cheek. “I won’t leave you. You have to promise me that you won’t ruin your body like this, do you understand?”
Lu Zhao nodded and hugged Luo Ying even tighter.
He simply carried Luo Ying to the bed. Luo Ying nestled in his arms, and that small bundle in his arm made his heart ache.
“I’ll definitely protect you,” Lu Zhao said.
“Yes, yes.” Luo Ying buried her head deeper in Lu Zhao’s arms.
“Lin Su didn’t do anything to me that day. He shouldn’t be in any danger, right?” Luo Ying said in a low voice.
“No, if anything happened to him, the Lin Family would already be making their move. But you don’t have to worry, I’ll make sure they die horrible deaths,” Lu Zhao said coldly.
This time, when he went to deal with the matter with D’Corporeal, he soon learned that it was a trap. They tricked him into entering a casino and then attempted the assassination.
After a quick search of the assassin’s body, his men found evidence that the person had contacted Lin Lu, and that was when they discovered Lin Lu’s plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain.
“I was careless. I should have protected you better,” Lu Zhao said.
Luo Ying laughed. “Has the poison gotten to your mind? Why do you keep saying the same thing? I don’t need you to help me take revenge. I just want you to be fine. I’m satisfied that we can be together like this.”
Luo Ying looked at him seriously, and Lu Zhao couldn’t help but kiss her.
It was a long and gentle kiss. Lu Zhao gently stroked her hair and tenderly hugged her tighter.
That night, the two of them slept in each other’s arms.
With the care of Dr. Cheng and Luo Ying, Lu Zhao recovered very quickly.
Luo Ying also began to continue her work.
Their lives returned to their original track.
However, an uninvited guest came and disrupted their peaceful life.
“So, why are you still here? Don’t you know that you caused Lu Zhao to be injured? Oh my God, how thick is your skin?”
A man in an overly flamboyant suit stared at Luo Ying, frowning and looking puzzled.
