Chapter 1023: 1023. Heart, hurting so much it’s unbearable

Listening to her daughter’s comforting words, her mood eased up quite a bit.

Seeing Lu Moqing, he also asked a false question, "Why did Moqing also come?"

"I was just with Moqing when my mom called me to say that Grandpa had an accident. Moqing was worried about me being anxious so he decided to come with me," Su Rou quickly replied before Lu Moqing could speak. Her words seemed to be explaining why Lu Moqing was here, but in fact, she was deliberately showing off to Qiao Xu.

Hearing her words, Lu Moqing frowned without any visible reaction but glanced over at Qiao Xu who was quietly staring at the rescue room door as if in a daze. She appeared calm, but the more calm she looked, the more worried Lu Moqing became.

He took a step toward her side, gently grasping her hand, full of pity in his eyes.

Qiao Xu was taken aback for a moment and looked up at Lu Moqing. The fear and uneasiness that she had been desperately suppressing in her heart surged up at the sight of him, turning her eyes red in an instant.

Standing close to Qiao Xu, Su Rou was unable to see Qiao Xu and Lu Moqing’s interaction from her position as she was focused on looking at the rescue room door to show her concern for the old man.

"Dad is out," Qiao Chong’er called out in this moment, and everyone hurried forward with their hearts pounding.

The Emergency Department Director came out with a somber expression on his face.

"Master has received a strong hit on the back of his head, causing severe intracranial bleeding. He’s not out of danger yet and needs to be moved to the Intensive Care Unit for further observation. It’s up to the old man himself whether he makes it through, but..."

Speaking of this, the doctor paused, his expression somewhat complicated.

"The old master is 80 years old now, so... it is best for you all to be mentally prepared."

Even though the doctor was quite euphemistic, everyone understood the implication.

Intracranial bleeding, and at such an old age...

As a doctor herself, Qiao Xu knew the significance of this better than anyone else.

She closed her eyes lightly, her heart in turmoil.

Only Su’s mother and daughter, upon hearing the doctor’s words, felt a strong urge to set off fireworks to celebrate this happy event.

With the old immortal out of the way, it was only a matter of time before they took control of the Qiao Family.

And Qiao Xu, that cheap woman, because of the old immortal’s support in the past, had humiliated them mother and daughter countless times.

Now with the old immortal dying, Qiao Xu could no longer turn the tide.

As the old master was taken to the Intensive Care Unit, only immediate family members were allowed to stay. The group had to wait outside.

There were not many people allowed to stay, so in the end, only the eldest son Qiao Sheng and daughter Qiao Chong’er remained.

Qiao Xu silently stood up from the chair, her whole body numb.

She had just gone through this feeling a little more than a month ago, and now she had to experience it again.

She walked out alone, her helplessness making her look as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

Seeing her like this, Lu Moqing’s heart ached terribly.

He couldn’t help but want to rush to her side and hold her in his arms to comfort her.

As he thought this, he had already followed her with his steps.

He came forward, pulling Qiao Xu’s hand, wanting to take her away.

Qiao Xu’s footsteps paused for a moment, and the next second, she shook off Lu Moqing’s hand.
