Chapter 9 - Lu Lixing's eyebrows were deeply furrowed; it felt as if he was attending his own funeral (2)

They were caught by surprise when the door was suddenly opened. A nurse came into the room with a tray. "Mr. Lu..." Seeing "the couple's" "intimate embrace", the young nurse's chin almost fell to the ground. She was in a dilemma. Should she continue walking in or leave?

"The nurse is here!" Ji Qingqing got up and did her best to fling Lu Lixing's hand off her wrist.

Ji Qingqing said to the nurse. "It's fine. You can come in."

-- "Last ten seconds."

"Ji Qingqing!"

Since there was an outsider in the room, Ji Qingqing lowered her voice, but her tone expressed an impulsive desire to bite him to death, "There's someone here. Can't we talk about this later?"

"Get out!" Lu Lixing shouted at the nurse.

-- "Last five seconds."

There was a piercing pain in his heart.

Lu Lixing was also gnashing his teeth in anger. He wouldn't give up until he got what he wanted. "Wifey!"

Ji Qingqin was infuriated too. She couldn't break Lu Lixing's hold on her wrist. Without any other options, she hissed out, "Hubby!"

For a moment, there was shocked silence in the room.

"Are you happy now? Let go of me!"

Lu Lixing let go of her wrist.

-- "Task completed. 1 point has been added to your life. You currently have one hour to live."

The throbbing pain in his heart faded.

Lu Lixing leaned back on the bed and closed his eyes.

The young nurse was smiling as she walked towards the patient's bed. "Mr.Lu and Mrs. Lu... you're such a sweet couple."

Just saying "Hubby" one time was enough to leave Ji Qingqing with a dry mouth as if she had spoken too much. She felt even more embarrassed after hearing the young nurse's innocent remark, so she fled the room. A cool breeze in the coordinator blew away the heat from her cheeks, but her mood remained unsettled. Her heart was still palpitating.

"Hubby?" Ji Qingqing tried out that word again.

Her heart beat even faster.

As a woman that had been single for over twenty years, the words hubby and wifey were only words that she heard other people saying. It felt slightly too stimulating to hear herself saying that word.

-- "1 point has been added to your life. You currently have two hours to live."

Lu Lixing: ???

The man in the suit, who had brought Ji Qingqing to the hospital, walked over to her and said, "Mrs. Lu, Old Master Lu sent me to escort you to the Director's Office."

Ji Qingqing froze in surprise. Five seconds later, she finally responded. He was addressing her as Mrs. Lu.

"You are?"

"I'm called Qin Shao."

Ji Qingqing nodded and followed him to the Director's Office.

Ji Qingqing was self-aware. She knew the purpose of her role: marrying a sickly person to bring him good luck according to a superstitious belief. Although Lu Lixing had woken up, his condition wasn't good.

In order to provide better care for the seriously injured Lu Lixing, his room was on the same floor as the Director's Office. It only took a few steps for her to walk to the office. The mood inside the office was solemn, and Old Master Lu had a grim expression.

"Elder Lu, I heard that you're looking for me."

Seeing Ji Qingqing coming into the office, Old Master Lu gestured for her to sit down and handed her a pile of documents with Lu Lixing's medical condition.

The head doctor said, "It's like this. I already discussed Mr. Lu's condition with Elder Lu. Mr. Lu's injuries from the car accident is too severe. His organs are failing, especially his heart, lungs, and kidneys. After the past month of treatment, his physical condition is still very bad. We've done a thorough inspection of Mr. Lu's body, and we believe that modern medical treatments won't be able to save Mr. Lu's life."
