Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 773

"Oh dear, the social security situation in Hong Kong is absolutely terrible! Just today, even my wife was almost kidnapped by those ruthless kidnappers."

Upon hearing this, Selena Morrison's heart leaped into her throat, her mind racing, and she silently pondered:

Could it be that He Yuzhu has obtained some key clues and knows that Jimmy was behind the kidnapping?

Although He Yuzhu was completely unaware of this at first, after Huang Tielin rushed over to deal with the matter, the arrogant Jimmy actually boasted to her that he would definitely teach He Yuzhu a lesson.

This explains why Huang Tielin witnessed the couple arguing so fiercely.

However, Sally Morrison was a seasoned veteran, and she quickly feigned extreme shock, exclaiming:

"Oh dear, how could such a terrible thing happen? Is your wife alright now?"

He Yuzhu nodded slightly and replied, "Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and we successfully repelled those vicious kidnappers."

Hearing this, Sally Morrison breathed a sigh of relief and quickly echoed:

"Thank God! As long as people are safe and sound, that's more important than anything else!"

Then, she cautiously asked, "I wonder what brings Mr. He to call me?"

He Yuzhu said anxiously:

"The reason I called this time was actually to have a proper discussion with you about cooperation. But I didn't expect to hear that something had happened to your family at this critical moment! How can I sit idly by at a time like this? Don't worry, I'll rush over to help you right away."

Just as He Yuzhu indicated his intention to go to the luxury villa to offer assistance, his keen ears suddenly caught the piercing sound of an ambulance siren coming from the other end of the phone.

Sally Morrison quickly responded:

"Oh, thank you so much, Mr. He, for your kindness, but there's really no need for you to make such a trip in person. Look, the ambulance from Mary Hospital has already arrived here. As for the cooperation, how about we wait a couple of days to discuss it in detail?"

After saying this, Selena Morrison hurriedly hung up the phone and ran to the door to greet the paramedics who had come to her aid.

Meanwhile, He Yuzhu slowly put down the phone receiver, walked out of the room thoughtfully, and slowly descended the stairs.

When he got downstairs, he immediately saw Huang Zhirou and three other ladies sitting together, chatting and laughing.

He Yuzhu had originally planned to go over and sit down to chat, but before he could take more than a few steps, he was spotted by the sharp-eyed Xu Huizhen and ruthlessly driven into the kitchen.

Xu Huizhen shouted loudly:

"Zhu Zi, stop standing there in a daze! Hurry up and prepare a sumptuous feast for us, to help everyone calm down!"

Faced with Xu Huizhen's unquestionable order, He Yuzhu, despite feeling helpless, had no choice but to obediently follow her instructions and rush into the kitchen to get busy.

Before long, He Yuzhu, with his superb culinary skills, meticulously prepared two tables full of delicious dishes.

He then warmly invited everyone to move to the dining table and sit down for a meal. The children sat at their own table, while the adults gathered around another table.

Huang Zhirou naturally stayed as well. After all, after spending so much time together, she had gradually adapted to the environment and atmosphere here.

The group sat together, their faces grave as they discussed the harrowing kidnapping incident.

Fear and unease were evident on everyone's face; they had gained an unprecedentedly profound understanding of their own safety.

After a heated discussion, everyone agreed that it was necessary to strengthen self-protection training and accumulate more practical experience to deal with possible dangerous situations.

After the meal, He Yuzhu carefully helped Huang Zhirou out of the restaurant.

He first escorted Huang Zhirou safely home and politely greeted Huang Zhirou's father, Mr. Huang, before driving to Mary Hospital without stopping.

All the way there, He Yuzhu was extremely anxious, wishing he could fly to Jimmy's ward immediately.

Before long, the car came to a smooth stop in front of the hospital. He Yuzhu hurriedly got out of the car and headed straight for the fruit shop inside the hospital.

After carefully selecting a beautiful fruit basket filled with various fresh fruits, he began to inquire about the location of Jimmy's hospital room.

After several twists and turns, I finally got the accurate information from a nurse.

I walked briskly down the corridor and soon found Jimmy's ward.

Standing outside the ward, He Yuzhu looked inside through the small glass window on the door. The ward was spacious, bright, and luxuriously decorated, clearly belonging to the high-end wards in the hospital.

At that moment, Jimmy lay quietly on the pristine white hospital bed, his face as pale as paper; beside him, Sally Morrison hung her head, tears streaming down her face like broken beads.

He Yuzhu gently pushed open the door and stepped into the room.

The sudden noise startled Selby Morrison, who was immersed in grief. When she looked up and saw that it was He Yuzhu, her eyes were filled with surprise.

She quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and stood up to greet this unexpected guest.

He Yuzhu smiled and stepped forward, handing the fruit basket he was carrying to Selena Morrison, saying:

"Don't be too sad, Ms. Morrison. I heard that Jimmy was injured and hospitalized, so I came to visit him."

Sally Morrison accepted the fruit basket with tears of gratitude, thanking her repeatedly:

"Mr. He, I never expected you to come and visit me in person. Thank you so much!"

He Yuzhu waved his hand and replied sincerely:

"There's no need to be so polite. Although we've had some minor disagreements in the past, we're still friends after all. I can't just stand by and do nothing when a friend is in trouble."

Hearing these words, Selena Morrison felt a warm feeling well up inside her and nodded in agreement.

Sally Morrison gently placed the basket full of various fresh fruits to the side, then invited He Yuzhu to sit down with a smile and gentle movements.

On one side of the hospital bed was a bed for a caregiver, and Sally Morrison quickly bent down and reached under the caregiver's bed to pull out a small stool that looked a little old but was still sturdy.

She straightened up, held the small stool steadily in both hands, and carefully placed it behind where He Yuzhu was sitting.

After He Yuzhu was settled in his seat, he asked with concern:

"I wonder how Mr. Jimmy is doing these days?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sally Morrison quickly walked to a table not far away, picked up the kettle, and poured a glass of clear, warm water into it.

Then, she turned around and went back to He Yuzhu's side, leaned forward slightly, and handed the water glass in her hand to He Yuzhu.

After doing all this, she slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, a trace of sorrow and grief on her face, and said softly:

"Jimmy's condition is really not good..."

Then, she began to explain Jimmy's current situation to He Yuzhu in detail.

According to Sally Morrison, Jimmy is now almost completely unable to move, as if he has become a lifeless plant.

Previously, the hospital had arranged for several experienced doctors to conduct a comprehensive and detailed examination of He Yuzhu, but even so, they were still unable to determine the true cause of this condition.

Left with no other option, Jimmy could only rest like this for the time being, hoping that his condition would improve.

What's even more heartbreaking is that Jimmy has not only lost his ability to move, but he has also lost even the most basic ability to speak.

Only those lively eyelids can still react to external stimuli—conveying simple information through blinking.

As the narrative deepened, Selena Morrison became increasingly emotional. By the end, she could no longer contain the overwhelming sorrow within her, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

Chapter 548 From now on, it all depends on you

In the ward, the smell of disinfectant lingered like a ghost, and even the soft lighting could not dispel the chill.

He Yuzhu stood with his arms crossed, his posture upright, like a silent statue, listening quietly as Sally Morrison recounted Jimmy's illness.

Looking at her anxious expression, He Yuzhu sneered inwardly. He had already learned about Jimmy's predicament several days ago through his vast intelligence network.

However, he had to play his part well and make sure Selena didn't notice anything amiss.

In an instant, He Yuzhu's facial muscles tensed, his eyes widened like copper bells, filled with shock, his mouth gaped open as if it could swallow a fist, and his face was filled with disbelief.

He rushed forward, patted Sally on the shoulder, and comforted her:

"Oh, don't worry too much! Jimmy is so healthy, this little injury is nothing! He'll definitely recover slowly, he's lucky, he'll be fine!"

He Yuzhu was eloquent, his words flowing like a machine gun.

He talked about Jimmy's energetic appearance on the court and the examples of people around him who had good physical fitness and recovered quickly after injuries, pouring out all the words of comfort he could think of.

Just as he was speaking animatedly, spittle flying everywhere, he suddenly changed the subject, his expression becoming serious:

"Ms. Sally, by the way, something terrible happened today! Madam was kidnapped in broad daylight!" Upon hearing this, Sally Morrison was struck dumb, her face turning deathly pale as if she had been slapped hard across the face.

Her lips trembled slightly uncontrollably, her hands instinctively covered her mouth, and her eyes were filled with fear, as if she had seen the most terrifying sight in the world.

Just then, the door to the ward creaked open.

A doctor in a white coat walked in hurriedly, followed by several nurses.

The doctor held the medical record folder tightly in his hand, his expression focused and serious.

He strode to the bedside and began his routine ward rounds.

He picked up the stethoscope and gently placed it on Jimmy's chest, tilting his ear slightly. Sometimes he frowned slightly, sometimes he nodded slightly, as if he were having a silent conversation with Jimmy's body.

Then, he carefully removed the gauze from Jimmy's body and carefully observed the healing of the wound, his eyes revealing professionalism and caution.

After a thorough and meticulous examination, the doctor turned to Sally Morrison and said in a calm and professional tone:

"The patient's vital signs are currently stable, but they still need to rest in bed. They should take their medication on time and have regular check-ups. They should also pay close attention to their diet, keeping it as bland as possible..."

He explained the various precautions in a clear and organized manner, and his methodical voice made everyone present feel inexplicably at ease.

After the medical staff left, the ward fell silent, with only the clock on the wall ticking away.

The clock hands quietly pointed to 10 o'clock, and moonlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, casting a silvery-white glow on the floor.

The entire ward was enveloped in a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, as if time had stood still.
