Chapter 199 - Death and Conspiracy (3) (1/2)

Lu Jia’er sat with Professor Li for quite a while before Jin Xiangdong and his secretary returned.

Lu Jia’er sent a questioning look to Jin Xiangdong who answered with the expressions in his eyes. “Mrs. Li, it is past noon. Let’s grab some lunch.” Jin Xiangdong said to Professor Li.

Professor Li shook her head. “I am not hungry. You can go. Thank you for coming to visit Yan Bo.”

“Mrs. Li, how can you skip lunch? Let’s go and have something to eat. The secretary will be here. She will call us if anything happens.” Jin Xiangdong tried to persuade Professor Li.

Professor Li responded with a shake of her head again. “I am not hungry. Go ahead!”

Jin Xiangdong was not making any progress in solving this problem. Lu Jia’er proposed another solution at this moment, “Mrs. Li, if you don’t want to go outside to have lunch, I will get some take-away food for you later.”

“No. Thank you.” Professor Li answered, emotionlessly.

“Mrs. Li, it is critical that you remain healthy as well. When Jason wakes up, you will have to take care of him. You are his moral support.” Lu Jia’er said in a soft voice.

Professor Li turned to Lu Jia’er. The latter’s words were directed straight at a crucial point. Indeed, Professor Li was the moral support for Professor Yan who had just been discharged from the hospital and Jason who was in the ICU. If Professor Li were to collapse, the family would collapse with her.

“Buy me something to eat.” Professor Li withdrew her previous remark but she was still unwilling to leave the hospital.

“Okay!” Jin Xiangdong said.

The secretary stayed to keep Professor Li company while Jin Xiangdong and Lu Jia’er went to get some lunch for Professor Li.
