Chapter 704: What Condolences?

Although it wasn’t the best outcome, at least Ling Tao was still alive, and there was still a chance of him waking up. At this point in time, Ling Tianya and Xiao Hong had no choice but to accept the situation.

After two days in the ICU, Ling Tao’s vitals and parameters were stabilized, and he was transferred to a general ward, even though he was still unconscious.

To provide the best medical care for Ling Tao, Ruan Zeyan arranged for Ling Tao to be transferred to a hospital run by the Ruan family, and he was placed in a VIP ward.

Madame Ling was let out after Ling Tao had transferred hospitals. Ling Tianya had locked her up for two days and a night, and she was a completely changed person in front of her now. She didn’t dare to kick up a fuss or raise her voice at Ling Tianya, and she realized that she could no longer threaten her even if she accused her of being unfilial. If the great missy of the Ling family was angered, she would lock up the old lady of the Ling household with no hesitation.

News of Ling Tao’s accident spread quickly and soon the entire Ling Group knew about Ling Tao’s comatose state.

As the CEO and President of the Ling Group, Ling Tao held the greatest responsibility and made all the major decisions in the company. Now that he was incapacitated, the Ling Group was without a leader.

At the hospital, Xiao Hong put his hand on her tummy. “Tao, can you feel it? It’s my tummy; it’s our child. You have to wake up soon. You promised me. You were going to shop for maternity wear with me, and we were going to take maternity photos. Who’s going to accompany me without you?”

Madame Ling sat on the sofa limply and stared at Ling Tao. After this entire incident, she was drained, and she looked liked she had aged overnight.

The moment Ling Tao was involved in the accident, she felt guilty and blamed herself. She knew that the accident wouldn’t have happened if she hadn’t tried to take Ling Tianxing away secretly. However, she refused to face up to reality, and she coped with her guilt by blaming everything on Ling Tianxin. It was the only way to make herself feel better.

Listening to Xiao Hong choke up as she spoke to Ling Tao, tears were uncontrollably streaming down Madame Ling’s face again. No matter how mean and harsh she was, Ling Tao was her son after all. She had carried him in her womb for nine months and seeing him in this state broke her heart.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. The shareholders of the Ling Group were here to visit.

Ling Wei, Ling Tao’s cousin, was standing in front of the group. He was the biggest shareholder present. When Ling Wei walked into the room, his eyes twinkled as he looked at Ling Tao lying motionless on the hospital bed. He walked over to Madame Ling and Xiao Hong and adopted a regretful tone, “I didn’t expect something like this to happen to Brother. My condolences, Aunty and Xiao Hong.”

When Ling Wei said that, Xiao Hong and Madame Ling’s expressions changed.

“Ling Wei, what do you mean by that? Ling Tao is still alive! He’s not dead yet, and I don’t need your condolences.”

In the past, Ling Wei had been fearful of Ling Tao and of Madame Ling as well. Now that Ling Tao was lying helplessly on the hospital bed, there was nothing to be afraid of.

He had asked around and done some research. There was a chance of Ling Tao waking up, but an extremely slim chance. Even if he did wake up, it would take a long time. By the time he woke up, the Ling Group might belong to someone else.

As he thought about the endless possibilities, Ling Wei smiled. “Sorry, my mistake, don’t hold it against me, Aunty.”

“What are you all doing here?” Madame Ling said harshly to the group of visitors. They were all empty-handed, and they offered their condolences the moment they walked in. Madame Ling knew they weren’t there to visit the patient out of kindness.

When Xiao Hong looked at Ling Wei, she had a bad feeling about this man.

Yu Meizi had sneaked to the hospital when Ling Tianxin was asleep. Before she opened the door, she saw that the hospital ward was filled with people. She decided to lean against the door instead and eavesdrop on the conversation going on inside.
