Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 521 Could something have happened over there too?

Just then, the operating room lights went out. Yan Zuozuo quickly got up and ran over, followed by Chi Moqing, who held her hand tightly to prevent her from being frightened.

Seeing Snowden emerge covered in blood, Yan Zuozuo's heart skipped a beat, and she almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately Chi Moqing caught her.

Snowden was covered in thick bandages, a truly gruesome sight. His face was unharmed, but the surgery left him so exhausted he was almost lifeless; one could only imagine the severity of his injuries.

"Doctor, how is my grandfather?" Yan Zuozuo asked anxiously, not paying attention to her form of address.

Not only the doctor, but even Bai Ningxuan, who had just walked over, was taken aback.

Grandpa?

Chi Moqing noticed the change in his surroundings and asked calmly, "Mr. Snowden, how is he?"

The surgeon, an internationally renowned doctor, knew of Mr. Snowden's extraordinary status and paused before saying, "Come to my office with me." This wasn't a good place to talk.

He was startled when he received the hospital's call, never expecting that the person undergoing surgery would be this elderly man who had dominated French politics his entire life. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he immediately began to study the patient's condition, closely monitoring the entire process.

Whatever the outcome, it must be kept confidential.

Yan Zuozuo nodded and entered the office with Chi Moqing's help. At this time, the corridor was already full of soldiers and police to prevent leaks and attract reporters.

Bai Ningxuan followed him in. There were four people in the office: Chi Moqing, Yan Zuozuo, the doctor, and Bai Ningxuan.

After exchanging polite greetings, the doctor immediately began analyzing Snowden's injuries. It seemed the bullet's location was very delicate; a slight miscalculation could have been fatal. Although his condition was temporarily stable, he was not yet out of danger.

"Furthermore, when the patient was shot and fell, he hit his head. Due to the force of the impact, it is very likely that the patient will remain unconscious for a long time. You should also be prepared."

Yan Zuozuo's pupils contracted, and her voice trembled involuntarily, "Long-term coma...that is...a vegetative state?"

The doctor glanced at Chi Moqing and saw him nod, indicating that he should tell the truth.

"It is possible."

Yan Zuozuo's mind went blank for a moment, and she trembled uncontrollably.

A person in a vegetative state... is almost no different from someone who is no longer alive. My God, Snowden was such a good, kind person, how could he end up like this?

"Doctor, please, you must cure him... He's so healthy, he can't become a vegetable..." Yan Zuozuo gripped the doctor's hand tightly, her voice choked with sobs.

The doctor was startled and quickly said, "Mrs. Chi, please don't get agitated... Don't worry, we will do our best to bring Mr. Snowden back. Moreover, given Mr. Snowden's status, this is not just a matter for our hospital. We have already secretly contacted leading experts from across the country, and once they arrive, we will immediately proceed with the next steps."

Although that's what she said, Yan Zuozuo was still worried. Snowden's reaction just now had terrified her. The doctor only said they would do their best, but the result…

Taking a deep breath, Yan Zuozuo leaned against Chi Moqing's chest, trembling, trying to calm herself down.

Just then, the office door was knocked on, and it was announced that the appointments of all the leading experts had been scheduled and that a meeting would be held immediately to discuss the next steps in the treatment.

Yan Zuozuo was delighted and followed Chi Moqing out. When they arrived at Mr. Snowden's ward, they saw that it was heavily guarded, with police and military personnel present, and the security was top-notch.

They changed their clothes and went inside. Seeing Snowden, who had been so energetic, now covered in tubes, their hearts ached, and they couldn't help but shed tears again.

Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but think of the ring she wore around her neck, and subconsciously touched it. Just before Snowden was murdered, he had told her not to let this ring be easily revealed, unless something happened to him. Did this mean he already knew something?

"Grandpa, you can't just leave like this. You still owe me an explanation. You promised you'd tell me later, and you can't break your promise."

Seeing his wife overcome with grief again, Chi Moqing's heart ached, and he pulled her into his arms from behind.

"Grandpa, you said you wanted to see your two babies again, you said you wanted to personally hold the baby in my belly, please wake up..." At this point, Yan Zuozuo burst into tears, "Grandpa, please, please wake up?"

"Wife." Chi Moqing called her softly, looking down at her face with concern. "Grandpa can hear, and he certainly won't give up easily. We must believe in him." He reached out to wipe away her tears. "Don't be sad, or the baby will be just as heartbroken as you."

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "I understand."

Ding Le was learning to cook at home when the phone rang. She was startled; only a few people knew her number. Who could it be?

She picked up the phone, her eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly answered, "Sister-in-law, why are you calling me so early? I miss you so much..."

"Ding Le." Yan Zuozuo spoke softly, her voice tinged with weariness, which immediately made Ding Le's heart leap into his throat. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Where's the commander?"

"I'm fine, don't worry." After a pause, she said, "Ding Le, are you still upset about what happened last time?"

Ding Le quickly shook his head: "No, no, it was my fault that I was punished."

"Ding Le is still the cutest," Yan Zuozuo chuckled. "You've rested for a while now, do you still want to work for me?"

Huh?

Ding Le was taken aback, turned to look at the fox who had returned from outside. The fox raised an eyebrow and silently asked: Who?

Ding Le pursed his lips: "It's my sister-in-law."

Fox nodded, but before he could speak, he heard Yan Zuozuo's voice coming from the phone, "Fox, are you home?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Le stiffened, his forehead covered in sweat, and instinctively blurted out, "We're nothing..."

As soon as she said that, she wanted to slap herself. They had always lived together, wasn't this just blatant self-admission?

The fox was speechless. This little brat dared to sever ties with him so completely. She deserved to be taught a lesson!

Seeing the fox's expression, Ding Le's lips twitched. Damn it, her head had been kicked by a donkey.

Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but smile when she heard Ding Le's words. This silly girl. After a pause, she said, "Give the phone to Fox first; I have something to say to him."

Xia Ning's heart clenched slightly, and she asked with a hint of apology, "Xiao Shu, could you please give the phone to Mr. Beitang?"

"Oh," Ding Le replied, handing the phone to Fox: "Your sister-in-law is looking for you."

The fox took the phone and said respectfully, "Hello, sister-in-law."

"Hmm, how's Ding Le doing lately?" Yan Zuozuo asked directly.

"I'm fine. Is there anything I can help you with, sister-in-law?"

"It's nothing serious, I've just been quite busy lately, unable to manage both the charity and Fan Hua Design, so I was thinking of having Ding Le help out at the charity. However, Fox, as you know, someone has already set their sights on Ding Le, so..."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I know what to do."

"That's good. Give the phone to Ding Le. I have something to say to her."

Fox handed the phone to Ding Le, and watching her talk to Yan Zuozuo, he knew that Ding Le would definitely agree to anything Yan Zuozuo asked for. A dark and unfathomable light flashed in his deep eyes. No matter how skilled Ding Le was, being exposed was still dangerous. It seemed he had to make some arrangements.

Ding Le indeed agreed to Yan Zuozuo's request, and when she turned around, she saw that the fox was looking at her with a very serious expression. She blinked and waved her hand in front of him, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

The fox slapped her away and walked straight into the kitchen.

Ding Le pouted, about to scold him, when he suddenly remembered his burnt steak. With a shout, he rushed in, determined to destroy the evidence before the fox saw it.

After hanging up, Yan Zuozuo breathed a sigh of relief. Chi Moqing draped his coat over her shoulders and said, "You've been here too long. Let's go back."

From last night until now, no matter how he tried to persuade her, Yan Zuozuo refused to leave and had no appetite, which worried him a lot.

Yan Zuozuo originally didn't want to leave, but considering the baby in her belly, she finally sighed, nodded gently, and left with Chi Moqing's help.

In the car, she looked at Chi Moqing apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you standing here with me for so long, honey."

Chi Moqing pinched her little nose: "Silly girl, do we need to be so polite?"

Yes, they've been together for so many years, they've become one, there's no need for so much formality.

Yan Zuozuo smiled at him and nestled in his arms. With such a husband, what more could she ask for?

Just then, the phone rang. Yan Zuozuo glanced at the caller ID and her heart skipped a beat. Adrian!

"Yan Zuozuo, how is my grandfather?" Before Yan Zuozuo could speak, Adrian's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Snowden is receiving state-of-the-art treatment, so don't worry too much."

"How can I not worry? How is Grandpa now?"

Thinking of Snowden's injuries, Yan Zuozuo's heart clenched. "The gunshot wound is very serious. The doctors are doing their best to save him. He is not in immediate danger, but he still needs to be observed for 72 hours."

"This took so long?" Adrian gasped sharply. "How did this happen? Who's the killer?"

"Adrian, you need to calm down, the police are investigating..."

"I can't stay calm! After searching for months, we finally got news of Grandpa, but now this has happened. How can I stay calm!" Adrian roared.

Yan Zuozuo didn't say anything, letting him vent on the phone. She understood his feelings; if it were her, she would have collapsed long ago.

Adrian finally realized his lapse in composure, and, suppressing his worry, said slowly, "I'm sorry, I just lost my composure."

“It’s alright, I understand.” Yan Zuozuo softened her voice. “We will do our best to rescue Mr. Snowden and will keep you informed of any news. However, I still want to remind you that Mr. Snowden’s condition is not stable right now. No matter what happens, you must remain calm and rational.”

After all, the Bourbon family holds a pivotal position in France, and any mishap would inevitably have a significant impact. Fisher and Juliet are both uninterested in the family business, so ultimately the burden will fall on Adrian's shoulders, and he must bravely shoulder it.

Everyone is saddened by this, but at this critical moment, grief will not solve the problem.

Taking a deep breath, Adrian said, "I understand, thank you, Zuo Zuo." He paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I can't get away right now, and Grandpa's condition is unstable. It's better for him to receive treatment at your place. I'll personally bring Grandpa back in a while."

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. Adrian's tone suggested that something serious had happened on his end as well. What could be so important that it would make Adrian, who always respected Mr. Snowden and even regarded him as an idol, abandon Mr. Snowden?
