The CEO's Woman-Chapter 463 - Irreparable

Chapter 463 - Irreparable

Fu Jin stared at the white wall in front of him, his jaws clenched, brows furrowed. He then stared at the framed wall clock for the umpteenth time, scrutinizing its second hand. It had been three hours, two minutes and twenty-six seconds since they arrived at the hospital and not even a single doctor came out to tell them something – anything about his wife's current state.

He took his gaze off the clock and vowed not to look at it again. His eyes were once again fixed in the white walls as the anxiety that he was trying to suppressed was building up again. Tension started to make its way into his blank eyes. What could be the problem? Why are they taking too long? This is the top hospital in the Emerald Country, so the doctors should be capable of saving Jiang Yue. They should be able to save her.

Once again Fu Jin tried to convince himself that the ability of this medical personnel should be enough to save his wife. Then he unconsciously looked at the ticking clock again. He tried to control his emotions, make his heart steady, composed. But how could he? His mind was shouting at him, blaming him for what happened.

How could he let his pregnant wife put herself in danger? How could only he stare at her after getting off the chopper? He should have instantly run towards her. If he had arrived a minute – just a minute earlier he could have saved her. He could have run and hugged her. Protect her and their child from the poisoned knife.

Then his concentration was disrupted by the sudden creaking of the door. Fu Jin shot up almost immediately and run towards the person who came out of the emergency room. It was a middle-aged doctor wearing a dark look on his face.

For a second, Fu Jin's heart seemed to stop beating. However, his mind started to yell at him again.

'What the hell is wrong with you?'

'Man up and don't you dare break down now!'

"Are you the patient's family members?" the doctor asked, the graveness in his voice was so obvious that Wang Ruo started sobbing once again.

"I am her husband," Fu Jin declared. Surprising everyone in the room. However, at times like this, surprise is not something that they could afford to feel.

"Good. Follow me." The doctor then glanced at the group of people around him. "And her parents too." He said before turning his back and walking towards one of the conference rooms that was located just two doors away from the emergency room.

"Take your seats." The doctor said as he grabbed three bottles of water and gave one each to Fu Jin, Wang Ruo, and Li Jun. "Drink." He said before he took his own seat at the center of the conference table.

"The patient is in grave danger." He started, earning another sob from Wang Ruo. "We managed to find the antidote for the poison but…" he made a deliberate pause as he roamed his eyes at the people in front of him. "It already damaged her heart and… it was irreparable."

"This Amro Poison was known to attack the patient's heart and lungs and cause immediate death by internal hemorrhage. We were really lucky enough to stop the poison from attacking her lungs or she would… we have already succ.u.mbed to her death by now." The doctor let out a sigh. Seeing the patient's husband and father stared at him, waiting for him to finish his words, instantly made him conclude that these two were not ordinary people.

That- or they truly did not care about the patient.

"Is there a way to save her?" Li Jun asked. His face was blank, the exact opposite of Wang Ruo's tear stricken face. However, this did not mean that his emotion was as calm as his reaction. Inwardly, Li Jun's heart is already beating so fast. Anxiety, sadness, and anger were boiling inside him, like a volcano threatening to explode once he won't get the answer that he is hoping to hear.

However, before the doctor could utter a word, Fu Jin interrupted him. "How about our child?"

"What child?" Li Jun asked as fury roared through his mind. Seeing Fu Jin gave him an apologetic look only made him even more furious. He slammed his fist on the table, startling both Wang Ruo and the Doctor. "YOU DARE LET HER GO INSIDE THE LION'S DEN, EVEN WHEN YOU KNOW THAT SHE WAS PREGNANT?"

Everything happened too quick. The next second, Li Jun was already in front of Fu Jin slamming his fist into the latter's jaws. However, contrary to what he expected, the young man did not react nor try to protect himself. He directly let Li Jun hit him and staggered from the impact of his attack.

"Hit me again." Fu Jin said, his voice was low as he wiped the blood from his mouth. "I deserved it," he muttered under his breath.

"HIT ME AGAIN!"
