Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Taking Advantage of Her_1
Lu Zhendong glanced at the scattered documents on the ground, picked them up hurriedly without bothering to organize them, then left.
“Lead the way.” The command in his tone was like he was speaking to a subordinate, not his son.
Lu Hongxuan was also getting anxious, so he didn’t notice these details.
Lu Zhendong ordered the security guard to drive straight to the hospital.
“Why would Xiaojing have a fever? What on earth happened? Did you go home? What did you and your mother say to her? Tell me…”
Lu Hongxuan was also in the dark. He had gone to invite his sister out for a meal, but didn’t see her for a long time. He only checked her room upon realizing this, not expecting that she was sick.
“Sis came home and headed to her room without saying much to Mom. I don’t know why she fell sick.” Lu Hongxuan knew their mother must have said something to his sister. Yet considering the state of their parents’ relationship, he wasn’t going to add fuel to the fire.
But how could Lu Zhendong believe him?
“You think I would believe that?” The irony on Lu Zhendong’s face was crystal clear. He had already convinced himself that his daughter’s sickness had something to do with Lu Hongxuan and his mother.
Lu Hongxuan looked down and out of the car window. No matter how he explained, his father would never believe them, convinced that they had wronged Jingyi.
Lu Zhendong was considerably angry with Lu Hongxuan for not responding to him, leading to more displeasure.
Had it not been for Lin Xiao’s scheming, Lu Hongxuan wouldn’t have been born.
Upon reaching the hospital and seeing Jingyi in a hospital bed, her face pale, Lu Zhendong felt a deep ache in his heart.
“Xiaojing, Xiaojing…” His gentle voice was dripping with affection, making him seem like a completely different person compared to the stern and commanding figure who had addressed Lu Hongxuan earlier.
Lu Zhendong called her twice, and seeing no response, he turned to look at Lu Hongxuan, “Where’s your mother? Why is it when your sister falls sick, only you are at the hospital while your mother is nowhere to be found?”
He also wanted to ask, what exactly did Lin Xiao say to Jingyi?
Yet Lin Xiao was nowhere to be found.
“Mom also wasn’t feeling well, so she didn’t come to the hospital,” Lu Hongxuan immediately excused on behalf of Lin Xiao.
However, he forgot that no matter what happened to Lin Xiao, be it life or death, his father wouldn’t bat an eye.
Simply because he doesn’t care!
Lu Zhendong snorted coldly, he knew why Lin Xiao hadn’t come. She’s fortunate to have a good son.
“You may leave too!” Lu Zhendong bluntly dismissed him.
Lu Hongxuan wanted to say something, but upon catching the sharp glare, he swallowed down his words.
Without further delay, he left.
Seeing Jingyi showing no signs of waking up, Lu Zhendong immediately went to find a doctor.
The doctor warmed up immediately when he saw Lu Zhendong.
“Miss Lu has already broken her fever, she’ll wake up soon, you needn’t worry, sir.” Follow current novᴇls on novel•fire.net
She has broken the fever.
Lu Zhendong felt relief, and decided to stay by the bedside to keep vigil.
When Jingyi slowly woke up, she heard a low, masculine voice close to her ear, “Xiaojing, you awake?”
Upon hearing that voice, she instantly became alert, staring wide-eyed at the man before her.
What did Lin Xiao do, exactly, to have Dad come back?
Did Lin Xiao tell Dad… that thing?
“Xiaojing, how are you feeling?” Lu Zhendong tenderly inquired.
Jingyi blinked a few times, “My throat’s a little sore?” she noted. She didn’t notice earlier, but her throat hurt now, making her voice sound a bit rough.
