Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 848: Kind-Hearted Little Fairy

Zhang Lingying had no idea about Lu Jing’s collapse. When she heard the assistant’s words, she was stunned for several seconds, trying hard to recall the content of her argument with Lu Jing that day...

She was indeed quite harsh when she was angry.

But even if she said something excessive, Lu Jing wasn’t exactly a pushover either. His words were sharp, making her plenty angry too.

Moreover, he was the one looking for trouble in the first place. If he got himself worked up, it was his own fault, and it had nothing to do with her.

Now Zhang Lingying was completely distancing herself from the situation and was hesitating about how to refuse Lu Jing’s assistant when the assistant spoke again: "Miss Zhang, President Lu is still in a coma, and nobody from the Lu family cares about him. You are his only friend. Can’t you come and see him?"

"..."

The words Zhang Lingying intended to refuse were stuck on the tip of her tongue.

Many images flashed through her mind.

From Lu Jing curling up outside her door, to huddling in the corner of her sofa...

And him calmly telling her he had no friends, nowhere to go...

Although she still suspected in her heart whether Lu Jing’s behavior in front of her was deliberately trying to confuse her or elicit her sympathy, she had to admit that what the assistant said did make her feel slightly uncomfortable.

She knew the feeling of having lost the closest family member, having no friends, and being left all alone in the world.

"Miss Zhang? Miss Zhang? Are you still listening?" The assistant couldn’t wait any longer for Zhang Lingying’s reply and called out twice.

Zhang Lingying snapped back to her senses and pondered for a moment, "Which hospital is he in? Send me the address, and I’ll come when I have time."

Although she didn’t directly agree with the assistant, after hanging up the phone, Zhang Lingying couldn’t help but watch the clock for the end of the workday. As soon as it was time, she shut down her computer and left the lab.

She moved quickly, and by the time Leng Jian finished his work and wanted to ask her out for dinner, she was already gone...

-

Zhang Lingying arrived at the hospital just in time for dinner.

On her way, she had called the assistant to ask about Lu Jing’s condition.

She learned that he had collapsed due to long-term insomnia and anorexia, leading to mental confusion and malnutrition, combined with emotional agitation, following her departure.

Initially, she hesitated about whether to bring him some food, but recalling the scene where she brought him lunch at Re Group only to end up arguing, she dismissed the idea.

A heartless person like Lu Jing wasn’t worth her kindness.

Her willingness to see him already made her a kind-hearted angel.

When Zhang Lingying arrived, she realized that Lu Jing’s condition was far more serious than the assistant had told her. His sleeping appearance was hardly different from being comatose.

"Sorry, Miss Zhang, because President Lu is the president of Re Group, the outside rumors about the group aren’t great, and Old President Lu has been causing trouble for President Lu, so I withheld the true details of his condition from you. I hope you don’t mind," the assistant carefully explained, seeing the displeasure on Zhang Lingying’s face.

"What exactly happened? Wasn’t he fine just a few days ago? How did it become this serious?" Zhang Lingying checked on Lu Jing, then walked to a secluded area, turning to question the assistant.

The assistant looked hesitant but finally said, "It’s not that it suddenly became severe; it’s because it had been dragged on for too long and worsened over time."
