His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 723 - Lifelong Deb

Chapter 723 - Lifelong Deb

There was no use fretting about the real cause of the accident at the moment. All Jin Liwei could do was wait until the investigation results were out. Only then could he decide what the appropriate thing to do next.
When the accident happened earlier, everything was in chaos. The construction site was located in a rural area out of town. It was a place that Jin Corporation predicted would prosper in the future, so his company decided to spend an enormous fortune to develop it right now in the hopes of being the first ones to reap the biggest rewards when the time came.
Because the area was so underdeveloped, there were no hospitals or any good modern clinics nearby. If this was a normal situation, there was no need to worry about it because there were always some medical practitioners hired to be on duty in all construction projects funded by Jin Corporation. The problem this time was that the one injured was Jin Liwei, the President-CEO.
The nurse on-site immediately became intimidated in front of him, the big boss, that she almost forgot her medical training at the beginning. It was only when she calmed down a few minutes later that she started patching him up before recommending him to go to a hospital and see a doctor.
Since there were no hospitals or clinics nearby, Jin Liwei decided to return to the city. It was a good thing that he took the helicopter to come to the out of town construction site, so he took it again to fly straight to the city hospital where his Second Brother Wang Yingjie worked. It was a painful ride but nothing he couldn't handle. He knew that his baby girl experienced far worse injuries in the past, like that car accident that sent her into coma for the first time and that bomb incident which almost sent his soul flying out of his body when he first heard about it.
"President," Xu Tian called, interrupting Jin Liwei's thoughts.
From his position on the bed where he was lying on his stomach, Jin Liwei looked at his assistant who was still being poked and prodded by the doctor.

"I'm so sorry, sir," Xu Tian said, his face filled with guilt. "If you didn't save me, you wouldn't have been—"
"You've apologized to me so many times already. I don't want to hear about it anymore."
"But sir—""It's my decision to save you and I don't regret it. I know that if our situations were reversed, you would also save me."
"Of course. But that's—"
"Don't disturb me anymore. I need to rest," Jin Liwei said before closing his eyes.
Silence.
After a minute, Jin Liwei heard Xu Tian say, "Thank you very much for saving me, President. I owe you my life. This is a lifelong debt that I'll surely find a way to repay someday."
Jin Liwei opened his eyes and was about to reply when the door opened with a bang and a frantic figure rushed towards him. He immediately tried sitting up but froze and winced instead. However, he didn't give a damn about his pain at the moment. All he cared about right now was his baby girl who looked like she was about to rocket-launch herself to him if she could.
"Slow down, love."
She didn't hear him and even sped up.
"Don't run," he cautioned again.
"Liwei!" Iris exclaimed when she finally reached the bed. She looked like she wanted to throw herself at him but stopped after seeing the thick bandages covering his torso. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she was doing her best not to let them fall. She roved her eyes up and down his entire body as if trying to make sure that all his limbs were still attached to where they were supposed to be.Jin Liwei tried sitting up again.
"Be careful!" Iris' voice was shrill. She reached out and helped him sit up on the bed.
"I'm fine, love. Don't treat me like a fragile old man with creaky bones."
She didn't speak, only giving out a pained sound from her tight throat. Behind her, Dom also entered the room and closed the door behind him. Jin Liwei only gave the also teary Dom a perfunctory nod before focusing his entire attention on his distraught baby girl.
When Jin Liwei finally managed to sit on the edge of the bed, she framed his head between her hands, holding his face with extreme gentleness. His cheeks could feel the tremor of her hands. He placed both of his hands over hers, trying to calm her down with his touch. The rapid rise and fall of her chest and her pale complexion indicated how worried she was. And in turn, it worried him seeing her like this. But before he could once again reassure her that he was fine, she turned her head and spoke to the doctor who was still inside the room.
"Doctor, what's my fiancé's condition?"
Jin Liwei saw his baby girl visibly pale even further than she already was when the doctor explained everything to her without sugarcoating anything. He couldn't stop himself from interrupting because she looked like she was going to have a heart attack any moment now.
"It sounds serious with all the medical terms the doctor is using," he said. "But actually, the bruises are the worst of it. I'll heal soon, so don't worry anymore."
She turned her head back at him. Her nostrils flared as she glared. "Don't worry?! You're telling me don't worry?!!"
"That's not what I—""I already told you this morning before you left home to be careful, didn't I?!" Her voice became shriller and shriller the more words flew out of her mouth. "You said that you'll be fine but then I receive a call saying that you got into an accident! Do you know how frightened I was?! And now that I see you, you're like a mummy covered in bandages!! How can you tell me not to worry?!!!"
