Chapter 261 - 48 Hours (1/2)

Wu Wang was rushed into the emergency room and doctors immediately started the treatment. "Doctor, what's wrong with Wang Ge?" Xu Mey asked anxiously seeing a doctor leaving the room.

"Miss, the patient's condition is not very hopeful at the moment. He has gotten severe alcohol poisoning. We're trying our best but you should be prepared for other consequences." The doctor's left Xu Mey frozen to her place.

'Alcohol poisoning?' She fell back on the chairs in the corridor while her mind was reeling. 'Why is this happening with me? First, dad and now, Wang Ge...' She didn't realize that a tear had trickled down her face.

"Ms. Xu," Wu Wang's secretary placed her hand over Xu Mey's shoulder to get her attention. "Should I inform anyone?"

'Inform? Right! I need to tell someone.' Xu Mey took deep breaths to calm herself, wiped her tears, and pulled out her cell phone to make a call.

"Qiao Ge, Wang Ge is in the hospital. Come fast and don't tell aunt about it. Not yet!" Xu Mey didn't wait for his answer and disconnected the call.

Then she made another call, "Ah-Jie, where are you?"

"Baby, I told you I'm leaving for Imperial in the morning. Did you forget?" Ye Jie answered with a frown. "Is everything okay?" He inquired feeling her tone a bit odd.

"Huh? Yeah! Everything is fine. Call me when you're free." Xu Mey hung up the call and didn't know what else to do.

She sat alone in the corridor holding her head. She was fidgeting due to the nervousness. She was constantly feeling on edge with a strange irritation crawling up in her heart. Her heart was uneasy as if something bad was gonna happen.

"Xiao Mey," hearing He Jian's voice, Xu Mey turned her face to see all of her friends running up to her side. Xu Mey immediately shot up from the chair and hugged He Jian. "How's he?" He Jian asked while stroking her hair.

"I don't know." Xu Mey shook her head.

"Let me check," Lin Shen turned and entered the emergency room without any restrictions since the hospital belonged to his own family. Who would dare to stop him?

"Calm down! There is no need to panic." He Jian tried to soothe Xu Mey as he rubbed her back in a circular motion.

Lin Shen came out of the room with a glum look. "Shen Ge, what's going on?" Xu Mey looked at him expectantly. "I need to see him."

"Little Mey, first calm down!" Lin Shen helped her to take a seat and crouched down to come at her level saying, "The doctors have pumped his stomach to flush out the fluids but since his breathing wasn't getting under control, they had to add a breathing tube in his windpipe. It's better if you don't see him right now."

Xu Mey felt her own breathing getting harsh as she asked, "But he's okay? Right?"

Lin Shen smiled softly and nodded his head, "He's unconscious but he's out of danger now." Xu Mey breathed a sigh of relief not noticing the look in Lin Shen's eyes. "Now, go and splash some water on your face. And take some fresh air. Wang won't be happy seeing you like this."

Xu Mey smiled nodded and got up to leave. "Also, eat something as well." Xu Mey heard He Jian's voice from behind.

Seeing her disappearing figure, Li Qiao turned to Lin Shen asking, "Now, spill the truth."
