Chapter 177: 174. The Third of the Huo Family

~7 min read 1,344 words

After Zhao Jingyu arrived at the hospital and found the location, she discovered that the entire Huo Family had come, except for Lao San, who was abroad, and Huo Jiaxiong, who was at the company.

This took Zhao Jingyu by surprise; since when did these people from the Huo Family care so much about Huo Zhiyuan?

"Dr. Ma, what happened to President Huo?" Ignoring the Huo Family members, Zhao Jingyu went straight to find Huo Zhiyuan's private doctor.

This Dr. Ma looked a bit unnatural when he saw Zhao Jingyu, but he quickly recovered, "I am not very clear on the specific situation either. I was giving President Huo her routine checkup this morning, but for some reason, President Huo suddenly felt dizzy and then fainted. I estimate it was likely caused by long-term malnutrition.

By the way, Auntie Wang should know the specific situation; she is responsible for President Huo's diet and daily life."

Auntie Wang was Huo Zhiyuan's nanny. She had followed along when Huo Zhiyuan was taken away by the ambulance; after all, the doctor still needed to ask her about some of Huo Zhiyuan's daily circumstances.

"Auntie Wang, please tell me," Zhao Jingyu asked, suppressing the unease in her heart.

Auntie Wang was also clearly at a loss at this moment; she didn't know what the situation was either, "Assistant Zhao, I don't know what the situation is either. When she got up in the morning, President Huo said she felt a bit dizzy, and then she suddenly fainted while Dr. Ma was examining her."

Looking at the bewildered Auntie Wang, Zhao Jingyu knew she wouldn't be able to get anything out of her.

"Ahem, Assistant Zhao, how are things over at the company? Has Fang Hua's contract been signed?" Huo Li walked over and asked.

Zhao Jingyu frowned. Why was this guy still concerned about company matters at a time like this?

"I'm sorry, because President Huo did not arrive at the scene, the signing ceremony has been suspended," Zhao Jingyu said, forcefully suppressing the unease in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Huo Li immediately said, "How can that be? This is a new project that the second sister worked so hard to create. Assistant Zhao, go back and sign the contract first. We family members are here watching over the second sister, so I believe she will be fine."

Zhao Jingyu looked at Huo Li and said nothing, but she did not leave either, just waiting there quietly.

Seeing her appearance of not taking him seriously, a look of anger appeared in Huo Li's eyes.

At this moment, the doctor walked out. Zhao Jingyu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is the situation? What exactly happened to President Huo?"

The doctor lowered his head and began to pull off his gloves, saying, "The patient has now fallen into a coma. The specific cause is not yet clear, but it will be difficult for her to wake up for a while. She needs to be observed further."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingyu immediately became anxious, "How could she be in a coma? President Huo was clearly fine before. Did you not examine her thoroughly?"

"Please don't be anxious, Miss. Although the patient has fallen into a coma, based on current observations, there is no danger to her life."

Hearing that there was no danger to her life, Zhao Jingyu calmed down slightly.

However, she did not see the joy in the eyes of Sun Guilan and the others standing behind her; if she had, she would have certainly guessed that this matter had something to do with Sun Guilan and the others.

Huo Li hid the wild joy in his heart. His goal had been achieved; a coma was not death. Even if it were brain death, it was not yet recognized under the laws of Huaxia.

As long as Huo Zhiyuan did not completely die, her will would not take effect!

"The patient's family members, come with me for a moment. I need to know the patient's specific history," the doctor said.

"I am the patient's mother. You can tell me whatever it is," Sun Guilan hurriedly stood up and said.

The doctor then prepared to take her to his office. Seeing Zhao Jingyu following along, the doctor said, "Please, those who are not family members of the patient, leave for now. The patient's specific condition needs to be known by the family."

Zhao Jingyu stood in the hallway, wanting to see the situation inside through the door window of the patient's room, but it was clear that she could see nothing.

Although Zhao Jingyu did not know exactly what had happened, she had a constant feeling of unease in her heart.

In the end, Zhao Jingyu did not stay at the hospital. She knew that staying at the hospital was useless because she didn't even have the qualifications to take a look at Huo Zhiyuan right now; she was merely Huo Zhiyuan's subordinate, not a family member!

Before leaving, Huo Li said to Zhao Jingyu, "Assistant Zhao, I hope you can keep the second sister's current situation confidential. Once the news of her coma leaks out, the impact on the company will be huge. I believe the second sister will wake up soon."

Zhao Jingyu did not speak, but she had to admit that Huo Li's words were correct.

Huo Zhiyuan's current situation was not suitable for many people to know; otherwise, there might be some chaos within the company, let alone the situation outside.

After returning to the company, Zhao Jingyu thought for a moment and called both Zhang Siyan and Meng Zixuan over.

Now, she could only trust Zhang Siyan and Meng Zixuan.

Zhang Siyan was the future heir to the group designated by Huo Zhiyuan, while Meng Zixuan could be trusted because of her connection to the Meng Family.

"Assistant Zhao, is there something you need us for?" As soon as Zhang Siyan and the others entered, they saw Zhao Jingyu's serious expression and were all a bit bewildered.

Zhao Jingyu took a deep breath and said, "President Huo has fallen into a coma! She is currently at the hospital."

"What? How could Huo Yi be in a coma? Wasn't she perfectly fine yesterday?" Meng Zixuan exclaimed.

Zhang Siyan also found it hard to believe that this news was true.

Zhao Jingyu said, "The matter is true. I just came back from the hospital. I called you here to tell you this news because you two are actually the ones President Huo trusts the most in the company."

Hearing this, Zhang Siyan was even more bewildered. President Huo trusted her the most?

She had only been at the company for less than half a year!

However, thinking about Huo Zhiyuan's actions, it seemed that this was the only way to explain it.

"Then what should we do now?" Meng Zixuan asked anxiously.

"Keep it confidential for now, and wait until President Huo wakes up. By the way, Miss Zhang, please communicate with Mr. Fang and postpone the signing ceremony. Remember, as long as President Huo does not wake up, do not sign the contract for a single day!" Zhao Jingyu said.

Zhang Siyan did not know why Zhao Jingyu was doing this, but she still nodded silently and agreed. In this situation, she was truly at a loss and could only follow Zhao Jingyu's arrangements.

The reason Zhao Jingyu arranged it this way was also considering that this was a trump card Zhang Siyan currently held at the company. As long as Fang Hua had not signed, and as long as the company still wanted Fang Hua's endorsement, then Zhang Siyan's position would be unshakable.

"Assistant Zhao, can we go visit President Huo now?" Meng Zixuan said.

Zhao Jingyu sighed and said, "No. Only family members can visit at the hospital now. Even if we go, we can only wait outside; we can't get in at all."

"Family members? The Huo Family's Lao San?" Speaking of this, Zhao Jingyu suddenly thought of something.
