Adopting/Raising The Male Lead and The Villain

122

Even Zhong Yuhuan was startled by Zhong Chi's current look, but she was able to calm herself down quickly. Carefully, she studied and memorized the way that Zhong Chi looked right now.

If the original owner was still around, she just might feel reconciled seeing him like that.

Zhong Chi, naturally, had no idea what was going through Zhong Yuhuan's mind. Seeing her in front of him, he finally remembered that he was a father and asked her how life was overseas.

The better her life was overseas, the stronger Zhong Chi's dislike for Xu Xing.

Zhong Chi finally couldn't help but let out a sigh and said, "It's better to raise you close by."

Regardless of their closeness to him or how good or bad they have grown up to be, Zhong Yuhuan was simply much more outstanding than Xu Xing in comparison.

Zhong Yuhuan asked, "Is it?"

Zhong Yuhuan's smile was a little bit peculiar but Zhong Chi didn't notice it.

Zhong Chi paused and asked, "When did you arrive?"

"I came as soon as the plane landed."

"You should go get some food then. Take a bodyguard with you," said Zhong Chi as he frowned, obviously recalling what Xu Yunhui had done again.

Zhong Yuhuan nodded agreeably.

She only meant to come and see what he looked like right now and be close by when the axe fell. She had never intended to wait on him by his bedside the entire time.

Zhong Chi wasn't worth that.

Zhong Yuhuan opened the door and summoned one of the bodyguards.

They didn't go very far but found a random restaurant that was nearby. Zhong Yuhuan had already eaten before she went to the hospital; she merely told Zhong Chi that she went straight from the airport. Naturally, she'd have to put up the front of having a little bit of food.

The bodyguard saw her serious look and assumed that she was upset. He didn't think anything was out of the ordinary and just stayed by her side quietly.

That detour took about two hours.

They left the restaurant and went back to the hospital.

Zhong Yuhuan walked around the garden for a bit.

When the bodyguard suggested for her to go back upstairs for some rest, his walkie-talkie buzzed.

"What's the matter?"

"Get over here now! Something has happened to Mr. Zhong!" The voice from the other end was distorted.

The bodyguard turned around and was about to start dashing before he remembered Zhong Yuhuan.

He quickly looked over at her and said in a low voice, "You should come with!"

Zhong Yuhuan nodded.

Lang Jinzhi said in a low voice, "I'll wait for you downstairs. Call me if you need anything." Having said that, Li Jinyuan gave the bodyguard a look. The bodyguard immediately felt a chill down his spine and couldn't help but add, "Don't worry, Young Master Lang. We will protect Miss."

Zhong Yuhuan followed the bodyguard back upstairs.

It was already chaotic upstairs. Zhong Chi's condition took a dive all of a sudden; he was undergoing multiple organ failure. He was pushed into ICU. Outside of the ICU, Assistant Zhao stood there stunned. He was pale with sweat pouring down his face.

He was just reporting to Mr. Zhong about matters at the office. They were two hours in when he suddenly....

Zhong Yuhuan stood calmly in the hallway.

It was much more chaotic when she died in her previous life. Witnessing this scene all over again, it didn't stir up much in her.

Xu Yunhui probably didn't expect that to happen so quickly either, so she wasn't able to arrive at the hospital very quickly.

That took them all the way to 2 AM.
