Wu Wang was rushed into the ergency room and doctors imdiately started the treatnt. "Doctor, what’s wrong with Wang Ge?" Xu y asked anxiously seeing a doctor leaving the room.
"Miss, the patient’s condition is not very hopeful at the mont. He has gotten severe alcohol poisoning. We’re trying our best but you should be prepared for other consequences." The doctor’s left Xu y frozen to her place.
’Alcohol poisoning?’ She fell back on the chairs in the corridor while her mind was reeling. ’Why is this happening with ? First, dad and now, Wang Ge...’ She didn’t realize that a tear had trickled down her face.
"Ms. Xu," Wu Wang’s secretary placed her hand over Xu y’s shoulder to get her attention. "Should I inform anyone?"
’Inform? Right! I need to tell soone.’ Xu y took deep breaths to calm herself, wiped her tears, and pulled out her cell phone to make a call.
"Qiao Ge, Wang Ge is in the hospital. Co fast and don’t tell aunt about it. Not yet!" Xu y didn’t wait for his answer and disconnected the call.
Then she made another call, "Ah-Jie, where are you?"
"Baby, I told you I’m leaving for Imperial in the morning. Did you forget?" Ye Jie answered with a frown. "Is everything okay?" He inquired feeling her tone a bit odd.
"Huh? Yeah! Everything is fine. Call when you’re free." Xu y hung up the call and didn’t know what else to do.
She sat alone in the corridor holding her head. She was fidgeting due to the nervousness. She was constantly feeling on edge with a strange irritation crawling up in her heart. Her heart was uneasy as if sothing bad was gonna happen.
"Xiao y," hearing He Jian’s voice, Xu y turned her face to see all of her friends running up to her side. Xu y imdiately shot up from the chair and hugged He Jian. "How’s he?" He Jian asked while stroking her hair.
"I don’t know." Xu y shook her head.
"Let check," Lin Shen turned and entered the ergency room without any restrictions since the hospital belonged to his own family. Who would dare to stop him?
"Calm down! There is no need to panic." He Jian tried to soothe Xu y as he rubbed her back in a circular motion.
Lin Shen ca out of the room with a glum look. "Shen Ge, what’s going on?" Xu y looked at him expectantly. "I need to see him."
"Little y, first calm down!" Lin Shen helped her to take a seat and crouched down to co at her level saying, "The doctors have pumped his stomach to flush out the fluids but since his breathing wasn’t getting under control, they had to add a breathing tube in his windpipe. It’s better if you don’t see him right now."
Xu y felt her own breathing getting harsh as she asked, "But he’s okay? Right?"
Lin Shen smiled softly and nodded his head, "He’s unconscious but he’s out of danger now." Xu y breathed a sigh of relief not noticing the look in Lin Shen’s eyes. "Now, go and splash so water on your face. And take so fresh air. Wang won’t be happy seeing you like this."
Xu y smiled nodded and got up to leave. "Also, eat sothing as well." Xu y heard He Jian’s voice from behind.
Seeing her disappearing figure, Li Qiao turned to Lin Shen asking, "Now, spill the truth."
Lin Shen looked at both He Jian and Li Qiao before telling them. "He’s not okay. At least, not for the next 48 hours." He shook his head and added, "The doctors did all they could. Now, he’s in a coma and if he didn’t wake up in the next 48 hours. He might never wake up again."
"Sh*t!" Li Qiao cursed out.
"He always drank reasonably. What changed?" He Jian wasn’t the only one thinking about this.
Li Qiao looked at Wu Wang’s secretary who was craning her neck trying to eavesdrop and beckoned her to co closer. "Yes, Sir!"
"So, Jennie! Who t your boss before his abnormal drinking escapade?" Li Qiao’s question made Jennie look around before she answered honestly.
"Mr. Ming Qu ca to see him, Sir."
"Ming Qu?" The three of them shared the sa expression.
"What did they talk about?" He Jian inquired this ti staring directly at Jennie. She felt intimidated by their stares.
"How would I know that, sir?" Jennie cowered but obviously, none of them bought it.
"Cut the cr*p, Jennie! You’re not like Wang’s personal assistant, Suzy. She likes to keep her distance from soone’s personal life but you don’t. You have a very bad habit of eavesdropping." Lin Shen pointed out making Jennie feel embarrassed.
She fixed her glasses and with a sullen face said, "For that reason, the boss didn’t let stay inside his office. But while I went to drop the coffee, I heard a na. What was it?" She rubbed her temples and as if her mind’s bulb was lit, she said, "Zhou Qi. Yup! That’s the one. They were talking about soone nad Zhou Qi but I have no idea who she is."
She noticed the way their expressions changed just listening to that na and decided to stay quiet. "You can leave now." He Jian waved her off and she bowed before leaving rather reluctantly.
"I knew she’ll be the death of him soday." Li Qiao grumbled and the other two couldn’t help but agree with him.
"Dr. Lin, this is the patient’s cell phone. It’s been ringing for a while now." A nurse ca out to pass Wu Wang’s cell phone to Lin Shen.
"Who’s calling?" Li Qiao asked and Lin Shen turned the screen towards him letting him see the caller id: Mother Empress. "Don’t pick up. I can lie to my own mother but Wang’s mother is a lie detector."
"I wasn’t planning on attending the call either. Aunt Bingbing might not be able to take this blow. She has already lost her eldest daughter and now, her one and only son is standing at the door of death. I have no courage to tell her this news." Lin Shen replied with a heavy heart and bit his tongue realizing that he wasn’t supposed to talk about Wu Wang’s sister before He Jian.
"Give the phone," He Jian took the phone and talked pleasantly to Fan Bingbing telling her that Wang had forgotten his phone with him. Disconnecting the call, he saw the odd looks from his friends and shrugged his shoulders indifferently. As he was passing the phone to Lin Shen, his eyes fell on the wallpaper of Wu Wang’s phone.
There was a quote, it read: ’Drink the sweet poison of Love, it will only drive you mad. But don’t wish for loneliness, it feels like a deadly banishnt.’
He wasn’t the only one who noticed the wallpaper, Lin Shen and Li Qiao also had read the words. The three of them had the sa thought in mind; How co they never noticed that his smile was actually killing him inside?
