Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man Chapter 1144 – Sick and Hospitalized

Chapter 1144: Chapter 1144: Sick and Hospitalized

Three days ago, when the barrier was removed, the Su family’s flagship store rapidly became one of the landmarks in the city center.

Everyone who passed by had to take an extra look, and everyone was talking about it—it had a promising start before it had even opened.

It was already halfway to success.

As the car came to a stop, Zhou Hengyang glanced at Su Qing without leaving a trace before he hesitantly asked, “Do you want to come with me to the hospital to see your brother-in-law?”

The wife might not know the third brother well, but he knew him better than anyone else.

Zhou Hengyang’s mind was as clear as a mirror.

When Su Wen first heard the term “brother-in-law,” she found it novel and coughed, then pretended to be serious as she said, “Cough, cough… Now that my brother-in-law is sick, it’s only right for me, as his older sister-in-law, to buy some fruit and visit him.”

After finishing her statement, she turned around to find her sister had already entered the shop, clearly uninterested and too lazy to engage in such conversations.

“Then let’s go!”

Zhou Hengyang shook his head helplessly—the most he could do for his brother was this.

In the hospital, Zhou Hengguang was staying in a special ward on the third floor, an entire level dedicated to the hospital’s high-end wards that ordinary people couldn’t afford even if they had the money. Each ward was spacious with a living room, bathroom, and a room for overnight caregivers.

At this moment, the ward was full of people.

You could say that since last night, there had been a continuous stream of visitors until this morning.

In the dead of night, upon receiving the news, some people rushed over, worried.

Initially, Ji Fang only informed the big boss about Zhou Hengguang’s hospitalization. However, the news leaked from the expert team unexpectedly, and due to Zhou Hengguang’s abrupt departure, which left a huge mess and many people in panic, everyone was frantically calling the Provincial Design Institute.

The buzz of inquiries stirred up many people into action, and only then did they learn that Zhou Hengguang went straight to the hospital after getting off the plane in the middle of the night.

This set off a major earthquake in the industry, shaking countless people. There was no possibility of keeping it low-key.

Even the Zhou family sent people over, with Zhou Hengyang’s father and brothers, one in the province and one in the capital—they all rushed over as soon as it was daylight. Zhou Hengxing and Zhou Nini, two little tag-alongs, also came along. They refused to be left behind and insisted on coming.

No one could have driven them away.

Ever since he was young, the third brother had poor health and always had a dedicated doctor. It wasn’t until he grew up that his health gradually improved, and he hadn’t been hospitalized for years. His sudden hospitalization now threw the entire Zhou family into turmoil.

It was only natural for them to be anxious.

Especially Zhou Hengyang’s father, whose grief of losing a child had turned the once strong middle-aged man’s temples gray. The resolute departure of his eldest son was undoubtedly another heavy blow to him.

Although there were many people in the ward, it was very quiet. Visitors would leave after dropping off gifts and inquiring about the condition.

The later arrivals were all turned away in advance by the director of the Provincial Design Institute.

At this time, Zhou Hengguang was asleep. He had suffered from insomnia due to staying up late and being too busy at work, consistently lacking sleep. The medicine the doctor gave him now included a sleep aid, and he had finally managed to fall asleep.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

Steady and rhythmic footsteps echoed in the quiet hallway, each step sounding like a dancer treading on the edge of a blade, or a carefree playboy dancing on one’s heartstrings. With each approaching step, an increasing sense of tension and pressure built up.

Ji Fang, huddled in a corner pretending to be invisible, stood up abruptly, startled by the footsteps, and looked curiously down the corridor.
