Chapter 202 - 202 Check-Up With Wifey (Part 1)

Wednesday came in a blink of an eye. Thankfully, October was able to cut down her workload and only had a few of those doc.u.ments left on her table. With that, she was able to leave her work early in the afternoon which she was, of course, picked up by Lexus to go to the hospital. 

"Is it really alright for you to be out this early?" October asked quietly and looked at the side profile of Lexus. His sparkling blue eyes sparkled brilliantly under the light of the sun, his long nose, and red lips made her dazzle. 

Hearing the woman in his arms ask this question, he turned his cold eyes to her and it lit up. At the close proximity between the two, October saw his eyes dilate.

"Yes, it is. I can do anything for you, wifey." Lexus chuckled and drop a kiss on her forehead and smoothened her hair comfortingly. 

Suddenly, a soft gasp escaped October's mouth as she had just remembered something important. With wide and serious eyes and voice grievous, "Why didn't I see mother in the mansion? Is she still in the villa at City G with grandpa and father-in-law?"

"Ahh." This was the only sound Lexus had. He had completely forgotten about those three. To him, nothing and no one mattered more than his wife. 

October saw his small reaction and instantly gave him a disapproving look. No matter how one was cold, Lexus was the only person she knew that was cold to everyone. Somehow, this did not sit well to her and worry crossed her pretty face. 

With Lexus' keen eyes, this expression of hers did not escape him. 

"What happened?" He worriedly asked.

October only shook her head and asked again about the whereabout of her in-laws and grandpa. But considering that Lexus seemed to not care about those three, she did not bother anymore to ask him. "Nevermind."

She opened her bag to pull out her phone and dialed the number she was so familiar with. It then started to ring and fortunately did not take long for the person to pick up.

"Hello." His voice that was big and whole sounded. "Who is this?"

"Grandpa, it's me." October said and her brows furrowed tightly and eyes full of concern. Her grandpa sounded exasperated and tired with a hint of anger. What could have happened?

"Oh~!" Grandpa He immediately perked up as soon as he realized that the one who was calling him was his precious granddaughter. His once scrunched up face immediately smoothened and a youthful smile flashed across his face. "My dear granddaughter, this is such a pleasant moment for you to call me on your accord."

Since the moment his granddaughter got together with that young master of the Song family, he felt that the short distance he had built with October had unknowingly became longer. He gnashed his teeth just the thought of that granddaughter thief.

"Yes." October said. "Are you back in City A?"

"Yes, yes. I've travelled with Jane and Wei together." Grandpa He let out a carefree laugh. It was as if his irritation and tiredness just a moment ago had vanished instantly. But this was only basing on his voice. 

Grandpa He did not dare leak out the dark and ominous feeling he had in his voice while talking to October. He had only showed it on his dark and gloomy eyes that seemed to glint from time to time while scanning the people in the meeting room. The heavy pressure hovering above those people turned cold and suffocating that it made them turn pale in fear.

No one dared to utter a single word nor breath loudly. They docked their heads and minimized their presence as much as possible. 

'Ah~! We're so screwed. We'll be killed. Oh my pitiful life, so short.' Anguised cries that were inaudible but screaming was on their faces as they prayed with all might to make it out of this meeting room that was worse than hell alive. 

Despite all of their silence chaos, some were still curious with things as they perked their ears toward the conversation that Master He cordially had. 

'Granddaughter? They have not yet seen their big boss having a happy coversation with one of his granddaughters. Then was this granddaughter someone not from the family but took a liking to?' 

Questions after questions swirled around the subordinates' minds as they tried to identify the person their big boss was talking with. Their curiosity was really killing them. One in particular was staring straight at Master He and an unreadable look flashed past his dark eyes. 

"I'm glad that you have safely arrived there." October said, her brows starting to smoothen a little. However, she still had yet another concern. "But are you okay now, grandpa?" 

'Oh? Did I leak my anger in my voice? Or is my Lan'er sharper than before?' His brow raised and eyes showed amus.e.m.e.nt in a split secon before it vanished. 

"Yes. I'm doing great. My old bones is still as strong as steal and won't crumble." He asked. He then shifted his eyes to land on the person who was looking straight at him. Their eyes locked and inwardly laughed coldly.

'This brat has some guts.' Grandpa He thought to himself, amused. But this was not the time for that yet. 

October did not completely believe her grandpa but still resigned in defeat as she was sure that her grandpa would not admit willingly about his situation. "Okay. I'm relieved that you are just fine. Well then, take care." 

And ended the call. 

"I already sent mom a message and she said that they're fine and are resting in the mansion in City A." So there's no need for you to call them anymore. That will just be a waste of time. Use that time with me instead. Lexus continued to say this in his mind. 

"Young master, young madam, we've arrived at the Tsui Hospital." The driver announced as soon as their car stopped fluidly in front of the hospital. He was about to go out to assist his masters in opening the door for them but Lexus beat him to it.

Lexus, with his biting cold air that was overbearing and suffocating, opened the door for October and helped her out of the car. His actions were gentle and soft as if he was assisting someone fragile carefully. 

He then smoothly hold October's bag for her as he held her hand. 

"There's no need for you to hold my bag." October complained, feeling uneasy at the eyes gathered to look at them. 

"And there's no need for you to hold your bag." He retorted back which immediately shut October down. Seeing the helplessness on her face as if giving up, he then pulled her gently toward the reception area.

All the while, the couple stirred quite a bit of commotion in the hospital. 

The patients, their guardians, even the hospital staffs are surprised at the strong presence October and Lexus has. They stopped what they were doing and continued to stare at that heaven-deying couple. 

But that's not all. They recognize who these people were. They had just recently been on the news a few days ago. Although the picture on the news was blurry, they key point of the good-looking pair were just too eminent that it was hard not to recognize then. That was about the two's marriage ah! 

Of course, some thought that it was not true. Not until they saw October and Lexus walk in hand in hand and had a lovey-dovey atmosphere around them. 

But there was one thing they don't undestand. Why exactly are they in the hospital? 

The few people who had sharper minds had their eyes twinkled with gossip. 

"This way, please." Said the nurse to October and Lexus and turned toward a direction in which Lexus and October followed. 

All this time, the hospital was so silent and eyes went to look at the same direction; the direction that Lexus and October disappeared into. Only after they were sure that the couple was out of sight, they let out their breaths that they did not know they were holding and noise errupted in an instant. 

"What was that?" October frowned slightly as she looked back for a moment. 

"Don't mind that." Lexus said as he tightened his grip on October's hand. He did not know why but as soon as he saw the nurse opening a door for them to enter, his heart started to beat rapidly as if he was running and his hand became colder than before. 

While he was feeling this, he suddenly felt a warm touch over his hand. He turned to look at October and saw her calm and clean eyes. This instantly calmed himself down. He smiled down at her and kissed her temple before proceeding to enter the room. 

'Ah. How uncool. I just let my wife saw me getting nervous just because of this.'
