Chapter 417: To The Hospital

Since it was lunchtime, most of his subordinates were having their lunch. So the task of driving Jie to the hospital fell on Lizzy who was the only person available in his secretarial department. Of course, he could drive himself but he didn\'t trust himself enough to do it right. In the morning, he was already disturbed because of Xu Mey and almost got into an accident.

And now that he knew his princess was in the hospital, how was he supposed to calmly drive? Before reaching her, he might reach somewhere else.

Sitting in the back seat, Jie was constantly tapping his feet impatiently. He rubbed his forehead to ease his headache that had reached a new pinnacle.

"Who called you?" he asked his secretary in an attempt to distract himself.

"It was your daughter\'s homeroom teacher," she answered in a professional manner.

"What else did she say? Did she tell what\'s wrong with Juan?" he was looking for some answers or he thought he might go crazy.

"She only said Little Miss collapsed in class and they took her to the hospital."

He raised his head and looked at her through the rearview mirror, "And you didn\'t ask what happened?"

Lizzy pushed up her glasses saying, "Sorry, but I was in a rush to let you know first."

Jie fell silent at her reply. Of course, he\'d be mad if she had delayed but he was so anxious now. Completely clueless about his daughter\'s situation. He didn\'t find anything wrong with Juan in the morning. She was her usual bright and sunny self. Then what happened suddenly?

In just a minute, he had come up with a million possibilities and each one made him feel despair. And this stupid traffic jam was making him even madder.

Sensing his mood, Lizzy looked at him through the rearview mirror and said, "Sir, relax. Little Miss would be fine. You shouldn\'t worry so much."

"Ms. Lizzy, do you even know what I am feeling right now?"

She nodded her head saying, "I think I do, Sir."

Jie raised his brow at her, "Oh, you do? Do you have a child?"

She smiled sadly at him before replying, "I almost my two-year daughter six months ago in an accident. So, I definitely know what you\'re going through, Sir."

Jie choked on his words before he lowered his head and said, "I\'m sorry. I didn\'t know."

She chuckled at his reaction and shook her head, "It\'s strange. You\'re such an attentive husband and a father. Yet you\'re clueless about your employees." Of course, she didn\'t expect him to know everything but this was something already mentioned before him because she was also in that accident and yet he was clueless about it. She took a pause before adding, "But trust me, Sir, have faith and be a little strong. Your daughter needs you right now."

Jie leaned his head back and covered his eyes with his elbow as he wondered, \'How am I supposed to stay strong?\'

It took him almost an hour to reach the hospital and his patience was really at limits by the time he got there. He found Juan\'s homeroom teacher outside the ER and when he tried to enter, he wasn\'t allowed in.

"Oh, come on! I have to see my daughter!"

"Mr. Zhu, please wait here."

When he wasn\'t allowed to get close to Juan or even got to see her, he turned to her homeroom teacher and inquired, "What happened? My daughter was perfectly fine in the morning."

"Mr. Zhu, please calm down. I\'m also not sure what happened. But the doctors said that she has a very high fever."

"High fever?" Jie\'s brows furrowed up. "I didn\'t notice any fever in the morning though."

"The doctors had been taking care of her but it seems her fever isn\'t going down. And she has been unconscious for hours also she has been shivering for a while now. But don\'t panic. The doctors are trying their best."

Jie staggered back as he breathed heavily, "That\'s so not reassuring." He sat down and held his head in both his hands. His mind felt blank when he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. First, he didn\'t plan to check but thinking that maybe it\'s Xu Mey, he took out his phone. However, he was disappointed. Adjusting his emotions, he took the call, "Yes, Father."

"How\'s my granddaughter? What happened to her?"

"They are saying she has a high fever and she is unconscious. I\'m not allowed to even see her yet." He heard the sound of the announcement from the other side and asked, "Father, are you at the airport?"

"Of course, I am! Do you expect me to enjoy my holiday knowing that my granddaughter is in the hospital?" Jie didn\'t say anything in reply and Ye Kang continued, "You don\'t worry, okay? Everything will be alright. I\'m gonna be there soon. Be strong until I get there."

Jie licked his dry lips before saying, "Before reassuring me, can you please stop crying?"

Ye Kang sniffled without any embarrassment as he said, "I can\'t help it. Juju is so young. Thinking how her lively face must be scowling in pain is making me feel hurt. You ask those doctors to be gentle or take her to another hospital if they are no good doctors."

Jie smiled slightly at his words before saying, "You take care of yourself. I\'m waiting for you."

Then he turned to Juan\'s teacher and said, "Thank you for coming here and taking care of my daughter."

The homeroom teacher waved her hand saying, "Oh, that\'s my job. I was very scared when the school doctor said we should take her to the hospital."

Jie nodded and hesitated a little before asking, "Did you call my wife?"

The teacher shook her head, "It\'s always been you who comes for both Bao and Juan. So, the headmaster said it\'s better to call you."

"Alright. Thank you again! You don\'t have to wait here. You can leave if you want."

The teacher nodded her head and said, "Then can you ask your secretary to let me know once Juan\'s condition is stable?"

Jie smiled politely at her, "I\'ll ask my secretary to do that."

The teacher heaved a sigh of relief before turning to leave. She hadn\'t gone far before she stopped and turned around. Jie was looking at his phone thinking about calling Xu Mey when he heard, "Mr. Zhu, do you mind if I ask you something personal?"

He looked up from his phone screen and nodded in agreement.

"Is everything alright in your family?"
