My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 83

Chapter 83 They Lost the Upperhand
An ominous premonition rose in Qin Jinhuan’s mind, and he hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong with Grandfather?”

“The Master had a stroke!”

“What?! How is that possible?” Qin Jinhuan’s mind went blank and his face turned pale in disbelief.

“It’s true.” Yu Zhongguang was crying on the other end of the call.

“Where is my grandfather now?”

“He has been admitted to Fraternity Hospital. He was just sent out of the emergency room into a ward.”

“Why didn’t you inform me earlier?! Which room is he in?”

“The VIP 3 Room.”

After hanging up, Qin Jinhuan rushed out of his ward without even wearing his shoes.

“Huan! What happened?” Not knowing what happened, Mu Yu ran after him holding his shoes.

Qin Jinhuan rushed to the VIP wards of the hospital on the 8th floor immediately. From afar, he saw Rong Ying standing in front of a ward with some medical personnel, talking about something. He immediately called out to Rong Ying and sprinted over.

“Quiet! Be quiet! This is the resting zone.” Rong Ying hurriedly walked over and gestured for him to be quiet.

“Where is my grandfather right now? Did he really get a stroke?”

“You need to calm down, I—”

“Just tell me! What is my grandfather’s situation right now?!” Qin Jinhuan was impatient, and veins were visible on his forehead.

“Your grandfather… he did get a stroke.” Rong Ying sighed heavily.

Mu Yu heard this right after she ran over. She was instantly dumbfounded, and forgot to let Qin Jinhuan put his shoes on.

“No! That’s not possible!”

“Huan!” Rong Ying forcefully held onto Qin Jinhuan who wanted to rush into the VIP 3 ward. “Please calm down and wear your shoes!”

Qin Jinhuan broke out from her grasp and bolted into the ward.

Qi Hao and Qi Han who were guarding the door hesitated when they saw him dashing over. In the end, they did not stop him. Opening the door for Qin Jinhuan, they entered the ward with him.

In the ward, Qin Xiaozhi was seen lying unmoving on the bed, wearing an oxygen mask. Besides Yu Zhongguang, two medical personnel stood by to look after him.

Yu Zhongguang couldn’t help but tear up again when he saw Qin Jinhuan. He was so choked up he couldn’t utter anything to him.

Qin Jinhuan’s face turned as pale as a sheet as he stared at his unconscious grandfather. Qin Jinhuan sniffed. His heart felt like it had been squeezed so hard he couldn’t breathe.

Rong Ying sighed. “Your grandfather is unconscious right now. He won’t be able to speak or move. Fortunately, his life is not in danger.”

With a hopeful gaze, Qin Jinhuan turned to Rong Ying. “Is there any way to save him?”

Rong Ying shook her head helplessly. “Your grandfather is old. Moreover, his body is weak. He is very lucky that he survived. You can’t expect too much.”

“How could this happen?” Qin Jinhuan questioned Yu Zhongguang hoarsely.

“I-I-I, the Master, he—”

“I will explain,” Qi Hao said as he helped Yu Zhongguang, who was unable to speak coherently at the moment, to sit down. “When we were supposed to serve the old Master his dinner at noon, President Qin suddenly rushed in to find the old Master. He said that he had something important to discuss with him and both of them entered the study; he even asked Qi Han and I to guard the entrance. However, after ten minutes or so, we heard President Qin’s yell so we rushed in and saw the old Master crumpled on the floor, convulsing. We immediately performed first-aid measures and contacted Lei Zhi. When Lei Zhi rushed over, he saw that there was something wrong so we sent the old Master to the Fraternity Hospital’s emergency department.”

“I know what happened after,” Rong Ying cut in. “Although I wasn’t the doctor in charge, I was there the whole time they performed the treatment.”

Qin Jinhuan asked with a dark expression, “Did my grandfather get a stroke because he was overstimulated?”

Rong Ying understood what he was implying. She shook her head, “Your grandfather had received too many provocations recently. What happened today was just the last straw that broke the camel’s back.”

Immediately, Qin Jinhuan felt guilty and angry at the same time. He roared, “What did that b*stard say to my grandfather?!”

Qi Hao shook his head. “We don’t know. We were all outside.”

“Where is that b*stard?”

“About that…” Qi Hao and Qi Han stared at each other before shaking their heads simultaneously. “We were too focused on saving the old Master, so we did not notice where he went.”

“When we were getting in the ambulance, I saw President Qin standing by the door.” Yu Zhongguang who had calmed down took over the conversation. “I saw that he wasn’t planning to get on the ambulance so I thought that he would drive to the hospital instead. However, when I didn’t see him in the emergency room, I called him a few times because I didn’t know where he went. He did not answer my calls initially, but when he finally did, he scolded me and asked for me to not pester him anymore because he is in a meeting.”

“Meeting? What meeting was it?”

“I’m not sure about this.”

Qin Jinhuan immediately caught on to something. He dialled Wen Zeyu’s number and ordered him to go to the company to inquire about the situation right now.

“Huan, are you suspecting that…”

Qin Jinhuan waved her off. Seeing that Rong Ying stopped talking, he turned to the twins and Yu Zhongguang before he asked, “Did the old Master say anything to you before he got a stroke?”

The twins and Yu Zhongguang stared at each other before shaking their heads simultaneously, “Everything happened so abruptly. The old Master did not manage to say anything at all.”

“What about before that?” Qin Jinhuan pressed on.

Yu Zhongguang sighed. “The old Master wasn’t in a good mood recently. Other than eating, most of the time he locked himself in the study. He refused to talk to us nor let us accompany him inside.”

The twins nodded in agreement. “The old Master’s mood only brightened when President Qin came over. Only then would he come out from the study and invite his son in to talk.”

Seeing that Qin Jinhuan was quiet, Mu Yu impatiently butted in, “Well, what do they usually talk about?”

“We aren’t sure about this. The old Master usually asks for us to guard the room. It was probably important things about the company.”

Mu Yu was pissed. “All of you knew Qin Wentao’s intention toward Grandfather, so how could you guys let them be together unattended?”

Qi Hao felt wronged. “The old Master ordered for us to stay outside.”

“Well, you guys just can’t—”

“Yu!” Qin Jinhuan shook his head at her. Then, he waved off the twins and Yu Zhongguang, “You guys should leave too, I just want to have some time alone with my grandfather.”

Yu Zhongguang sighed and didn’t say anything else. He then left with the twins.

“Huan…”

“You should leave too.”

Rong Ying couldn’t bear looking at his dispirited face and wanted to say something, but she finally left without uttering anything.

After everyone left, Qin Jinhuan numbly sat down next to his grandfather’s bed and stared hollowly at his unmoving grandfather.

After all that his grandfather had planned for so many days, he ended up unconscious on this bed during the most critical moment. Did this mean that he had to carry everything on by himself now?

Without his grandfather’s support, would this still end well?

Qin Jinhuan pondered as his confidence slowly deflated like a punctured balloon.

His grandfather was always meticulous when he carried out his plans, how could he have slipped up this time? They allowed Qin Wentao to gain the upper hand without any warning.

Qin Wentao…

Everything happened because he underestimated Qin Wentao’s indifference toward his family as well as his desire and greed for money.

Now he dragged his grandfather down with him again!

Looking at his unconscious grandfather, guilt, regret, dissatisfaction, and hatred swirled within him, causing him to wince in agony.

“Huan…”

Mu Yu could feel his sorrow. However, she didn’t know how to console Qin Jinhuan. All she could do was hug him and chant his name softly.

“Grandfather became like this because of me. I really hope Qing Tian Group won’t go under because of me.” Qin Jinhuan pulled on his hair harshly.

This was his first time saying something so pessimistic ever since the changes in the Phoenix Gully projects.

Mu Yu’s heart ached and held his hand to try to console him. “This wasn’t entirely on you. We can only blame Yi Yunzhe for being too slick and Qin Wentao for being too heartless.”

“It’s my fault.”

“Huan, you should stop blaming yourself for everything.”

“I’ve always known that my grandfather loves me a lot. However, I’ve always been in denial and never accepted his love.”

“Why?”

“Because of Qin Wentao!” Hatred was adamant in Qin Jinhuan’s eyes. “If only my grandfather was harsher toward Qin Wentao, my mother wouldn’t have to suffer so much and I wouldn’t have lost her at such a young age! I hate Qin Wentao, but I hate my grandfather even more! Because he was the cause of everything!”

Mu Yu breathily sighed and asked, “Are you sure that you hate him? If you really hate him so much, wouldn’t you be happy now that he is laying here with a stroke? Why are you crying then?”

“I’m crying?”

Qin Jinhuan’s hand reached to touch his face and came back wet. He wiped his face harshly.

Mu Yu held his face in her hands and whispered, “You don’t actually hate him. On the contrary, you love and care a lot about him. I could see that when you helped to find treatments for his illness and when you fake our marriage. However, you couldn’t let go of the past that binds to you deeply. You blamed him for your mother’s death so you felt that it was wrong to love your grandfather without wronging your mother. You suppress your love toward him and always give him a cold, steely look. But, your grandfather actually cared about you a lot too. If it weren’t so, he wouldn’t have given you the president position of Qing Tian Group that his son dreams of owning. However, he is also a prideful man. Hence, the more you go against him, the more he suppresses his love toward you too. And this is why the both of you are so close although both of you act like you are enemies.”

It looked like she really understood him.

A hint of relief rose in his heart.

“Huan.” Mu Yu slowly held his hand. “Just let go of everything in the past. Let’s bring Grandfather along and start over again. What do you think?”

Qin Jinhuan understood what she meant but he refused. “I can’t do that!”

“Now that Qin Wentao has all the power in his hands and Yi Yunzhe behind him, you’ve lost all your authority! You’re no match for them!”

“I have my own plans.” There were still many things that he couldn’t disclose to her.

“Huan—” Mu Yu was interrupted by her mobile ringtone. She immediately answered when she saw that it was from Rong Jian.

“Where are you?”

Hearing the anxiousness in Rong Jian’s voice, Mu Yu figured that he was inquiring about Qin Jinhuan’s grandfather and immediately answered, “I’m at the VIP 3 ward.”

“Is Huan with you?”

“Yes.”

“Just stay in the ward and do not leave! And, ask Huan to not leave you alone, do you hear me? I’m rushing over right now!”

Sensing that something wasn’t right, she anxiously asked, “What is wrong?”

“Someone wants to kill you!”
