Chapter 6 - Imminent death warning. Within the next five minute, please call Ji Qingqing wifey and get her to call you hubby. (2)

The Lu family didn't have a tradition in believing in the supernatural. Lu Lixing, who was an educated person with a master's degree, would rather believe that this voice was just an auditory hallucination due to the car accident.

-- "One after another, your major organs are already shutting down. If you don't have any physical contact with your wife, Ji Qingqing, in the next ten minutes, you'll experience total organ failure. After that, there'll only death waiting for you."

He had a clear understanding of his condition, even breathing was difficult for him now. Lu Lixing was trapped in a muddled state and couldn't take even one step out of it.

When he slowly opened his eyes, the sharp glare of the light caused him to squint. He saw a woman sitting by his bed.

This woman presented herself as she was, without any artifice. Her dark eyes revealed her nervous mood.

The woman's hand was clutching his bedside. Her hand was within reach of his if he stretched out.

-- "Imminent death warning. Within the next minute, please have any sort of physical contact with your wife, Ji Qingqing. Otherwise, you'll experience total organ failure!"

"You're... awake?"

"Don't worry. I'll call your grandfather over!"

-- "Last thirty seconds."

"En..." Lu Lixing groaned out. In an instant, pain radiated through every inch of his skin and bones. He couldn't resist or endure the pain. He could only helplessly tremble.

Immediately after, it felt as if a huge gravitational force was sucking his tired soul into the dark abyss.

He closed his eyes.

So tired.

Everything narrowed to a focus. He heard Ji Qingqing's panicking shriek, "Doctor!"

The sound of disorderly footsteps.

"Hurry! He needs immediate treatment!"

"There's no heartbeat!"

"Prepare the defibrillator!"

Bzzz.

Lu Lixing felt as if his body was as light as a feather. It seemed as if he was going to leave this noisy world.

In that last second, just as he was about to lose all of his senses, it seemed that someone hugged him and tethered his soul to his body

"Miss Ji, please leave..."

-- "The task of having physical contact with Ji Qingqing has been completed. 0.5 point has been added to your life. For every one point that you have, you can live another hour.

For a period of time, there was chaos in the hospital room.

The heartbeat frequency stabilized on the ECG monitor. Lu Lixing opened his eyes again.

Elder Lu came into the room. Seeing that his grandson had woken up, he was overjoyed. There were tears in his eyes. "You woke up... you're finally awake."

Elder Lu had been very scared for the past month and hadn't been able to sleep well. His prayers hadn't gone to waste. His grandson, who had been on the verge of death, had finally woken up.

Lu Lixing swept his gaze over the people in the room. He briefly closed his eyes and opened them again after he had composed himself.

"Grandfather, I'm sorry that I made you worry." Lu Lixing had just woken up. His body was weak, and his voice was slightly hoarse, but his gaze was as sharp as knives. The previous weakness and weariness in his eyes had been swept away. He unerringly looked at Ji Qingqing. "Who is she?"

Old Master Lu brought Ji Qingqing to the front of the bed. "Don't blame grandfather for making this decision for you. Grandfather choses this woman to be your wife. Her name is Ji Qingqing."

Lu Lixing's eyes were dark and deep. He didn't say anything and only looked at his wife. It was obvious that he was scrutinizing her.

Ji Qingqing lowered her head. She didn't dare to meet Lu Lixing's eyes. She inexplicably felt panicky.

The doctor continued to examine Lu Lixing. The series of collected data caused the highly qualified head doctor to repeatedly furrowed his brow.

Lu Lixing had been lying in the intensive care unit for a month. There were many times when they almost hadn't been able to rescue him from death. His organs had been heading towards failure. Even if modern medicine was advanced, it wouldn't be possible to save his life.

"Elder Lu, how about we go outside to discuss?"

Old Master Lu looked Lu Lixing, then he nodded. With the help of a nurse, he walked out of the room with the doctor.

Outside in the hallway, the doctor told Elder Lu with a solemn expression, "When Mr. Lu was brought to the hospital a month ago after a car accident, he was seriously injured. His heart, lungs, and kidney started to stop working. After a month of treatment, his body has already exhausted its strength. For him to wake up today... I'm sorry Elder Lu, modern medicine can't save Mr. Lu's life."

Elder Lu turned his Buddhist prayer beads and didn't say anything.
