1500 He Might Not Wake Up Again
Lu Beichen secretly smiled and felt this move was not bad after all.
Gu Jingyan, on the other hand, was rolling her eyes.
After the chaos, things finally returned to normal at Disneyland.
Just as the family of three wanted to return, Lu Beichen suddenly received a call from home.
“Sir, Old Master is not in good shape. Come home quickly to take a look. Old Master…”
Something wrong with Lu Qinyu?
Lu Beichen naturally had to return home quickly.
Gu Jingyan carried the slightly disappointed Apple and looked at Lu Beichen. “What did they say?”
“They only said Dad suddenly fainted. The specifics are not clear as of now.”
Lu Beichen hugged Gu Jingyan. “I’m going home first. You take Apple to have fun first.”
How could Gu Jingyan be willing to do that?
“No, I want to go back with you.”
Lu Beichen looked at her.
Gu Jingyan showed persistence on her face. “Dad has been so nice to me. He fainted. How can I take my child out to have fun? Even if, even if we’ve divorced, Dad is still my dad.”
Lu Beichen wondered how that old man got Gu Jingyan to care so much about him.
Lu Beichen did not stop Gu Jingyan any further.
Apple was very understanding. Hearing that grandpa was unwell, she immediately said to go home.
They got onto their private jet to return home.
Before he got into the plane, Lu Beichen gave Lin Che a call.
“My dad suddenly fainted. I’m not using this to force you to do anything. I just want to say… sometimes, a regret could probably never be made up for in a lifetime. I’m just letting you know in case there are any regrets in the future… As for Black Eagle, I won’t mention it to him. If you can, it’ll be good if you could let him know.”
With that call, Lin Che became silent for a long while.
—
Lin Che sat on the bar top.
Gu Jingze walked over and said, “Go if you want to.”
Lin Che took a deep breath. “It’s just that Uncle Lu treated me very well all along.”
“I know.”
“I’ll go for sure but as for Black Eagle…”
“I’ll let him know. It’s up to him if he goes or not. But it is our business to inform him.”
Lin Che nodded and thought what he said was right.
Lin Che then quickly went over to the Lu’s home.
She saw that they had pretty much locked up the Lu family’s home. As they saw Lin Che arrive, the reporters outside started to gather around.
Lu Qinyu had fainted in the middle of a public meeting. Some outsiders had witnessed it, and so the news had spread. It was something that could not be helped.
Lu Qinyu was the Lu family’s power holder no matter what. Though already semi-retired and that he had handed over all company matters to Lu Beichen and Gu Jingyan for them to manage, he was a significant figure after all.
A small matter would always be a significant matter for a person of this figure.
It was normal for the reporters to gather and observe.
Seeing that Lin Che had arrived, the reporters started surrounding her.
Lin Che was wearing a cap and tied her hair in a low ponytail. She got people to stop the reporters from coming over.
This was a private matter, and it was the Lu family’s matter. She did not wish to make any comments or to allow anyone to make wild guesses.
After she had entered through the door, someone led her inside.
Lin Che also asked about Lu Qinyu’s situation as she walked.
The attendant said, “Old Master was still fine in the morning. He went out to have some tea at the teahouse he frequented. He fainted there. The doctor recently talked about his heart and lungs’ abilities as well. But looking at things now, I’m not sure if it’s because of that. Sir just got home. Go in and take a look.”
Lin Che nodded and saw Lu Beichen just standing there.
“Lu Beichen, how’s Uncle Lu?”
Lu Beichen looked at Lin Che. “The doctor said…”
“What did the doctor say?” Lin Che looked at Lu Beichen’s face, and for no reason, she felt her heart sink as well.
Lu Beichen said, “The doctor said it’s unclear if my dad will be able to regain consciousness.”
As he spoke, he sank in his seat and sighed.
Lin Che asked, “Why?”
Lu Beichen lifted his head and closed his eyes. His voice was also weak.
“The doctor said that my dad’s heart and lungs are not good. At this time, he should have quickly gone for an operation. But now, his body is in a terrible state. If he goes for the operation, there’s a possibility that he might never wake up on the operation table. Moreover, his body is in an unconscious state. It’s very dangerous to do the operation as well.”
Lin Che quickly asked, “Then how… wouldn’t this mean there are no solutions?”
Lin Che could not help looking in.
At first, she did not feel anything. At that moment, she felt her heart choke up.
That was her biological father.
But it also made her feel that he was so distant.
That was because, all this while, she had never considered him as a father.
This time, she suddenly thought that if he did not wake up, she would not have a father…
Never again.
Lin Che looked inside solemnly. “What should we do…”
Lu Beichen said, “It’s not that there are no solutions.”
Lin Che’s eyes lit up.
Lu Beichen said, “The doctor said that in Sweden, extremely cold ginseng has just been made known of. This ginseng was extracted from the cold lands and kept hidden by a collector for almost a century.”
“So long…”
“Yeah. Recently, the collector’s family has intentions to let everyone have a look at the century-old ginseng. If we use that, perhaps my dad can still be saved.”
They need ma.s.sive amounts of nutrition to wake him up.
This was the key to the operation.
Now all they could think about is that the cold ginseng gave the highest chance of survival.
However, it was not going to be easy to get that.
Lu Beichen looked inside and said, “No matter what is said, no matter how much is needed, I’ve decided to go and try.”
Lin Che pursed her lips and licked her dry lips.
She could not describe what her heart was feeling. It was complicated. But there was a voice that seemed to coax her.
No matter what, they must give it a try.
She nodded her head with vigor at Lu Beichen. “If you need, I’ll help too.”
Lu Beichen turned his head and looked gratefully at Lin Che.
He knew that this la.s.s was very kind and compa.s.sionate.
“I’ll go to Sweden immediately. If there’s any news, I’ll update you.”
Lin Che could not think of how she could help temporarily. She nodded her head and prepared to ask Gu Jingze if there were any solutions.
Lu Beichen walked Lin Che out.
The two of them reached the door but saw in the far distance, a black Hummer car parked at a spot that was neither near nor far. It was like the distance between the person and from where they were, neither near nor far.
It was Black Eagle.
Lu Beichen stopped where he was and looked at that side in silence.
Lin Che also noticed Black Eagle’s car. She was familiar with it.
Lin Che smiled and said to Lu Beichen. “He’s not as cold as he looks.”
Lu Beichen kept silent.
Lin Che said, “I’ll go over and have a look.”
As she said so, Lin Che already started walking over.
The car door opened. Seeing Lin Che coming over, the chauffeur got down the car first.
