The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend
/ The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend Chapter 257
Samantha Li apparently didn't live with them, considering her work experience and education had been completed in London . He suddenly recalled seeing her driving licence, as well, which was for London . Uh . . . he found himself going red in the face, as he remembered other things along with that!
Well, he was looking forward to working with the father and daughter duo . Henceforth, he simply intended to enjoy the show . It had been long since a distraction like this had presented itself in front of him . And he could definitely use one at the moment .
New York Hospital, New York
"You need to go back and rest for a bit . At this rate, you will fall sick and add to my woes," chided Mr . Xie gently .

"No, I am not going back till the time Tang doesn't regain consciousness," his wife replied stubbornly .
It had been two days since the neurosurgeon had operated upon Tang . They had successfully managed to remove the clot but he had slipped into a coma since then . No one knew whether or not any of his faculties had been impacted . The doctor had no answer in terms of when would he or whether he would resurface . He told them that this had been one of the possibilities which he had mentioned to them prior to the operation . It was a wait and watch game for now .
Ethan had been a big support to the family during this time and had maintained a pragmatic approach to the whole episode . Chu was trying to act brave but was as weak as her mother from within .
The entire Xie family seemed to be hanging onto composure by a mere silken thread . The minute that slipped out of their hands, Ethan was worried that they may not survive Tang's current condition .
"Uh… do you think we should seek another specialist's opinion, Ethan?" Mr . Xie asked him .
Ethan didn't have it in him to remind his future father in-law that they had already consulted many top doctors across the world for second, third, fourth, miscellaneous opinions .
He nodded his head and murmured that he would find a suitable doctor to consult with .
"Oh God, why is my son suffering so much? He hasn't done anything to deserve your wrath . Please, I beg you to spare him, return him to us, hale and hearty," Mrs . Xie had only been chanting this, all through the past two days .
Her husband's heart was breaking looking at her sunken eyes and the desolate face of his daughter .
"Mr . Xie, the formalities have been completed from our end . We have successfully transferred our share to the Li family . Would you like me to take you through the details of the process and the information about the directors joining from their end?" the lawyer called and informed him .
"I don't care about any of that . I just need you to direct some of this money towards the Surgeon's account as promised . Ensure that he has enough for whatever purpose that he requires it for," Mr . Xie instructed .
Though the surgeon had not been able to perform the miracle as he had hoped, Mr . Xie wanted to keep his end of the bargain . He simply had no interest left in anything which was happening around him . His vision had narrowed down to just his family's well-being . His mind often found itself wandering through the lanes of the past . Some of those lanes took him to happy moments, others to vicious ones . He was repenting his past actions, so much time had been wasted in futile issues when he could have used those moments to create beautiful memories with his son .
"No, what am I thinking? So what if I don't have enough happy memories in the past, I will ensure that I make plenty of them when Tang recovers . As long as we have enough money to live comfortably, I don't care about whether we are Shanghai's top business family or not . I just want my kids and my wife healthy and happy," he said fiercely to himself .
"Dad, I am here with mom . Why don't you go and rest at home for a bit . No point for all of us to fall sick with big brother, right?" Chu coaxed him .
Though he was reluctant to leave his son's side, he nodded in silent agreement . Unlike his wife, he knew that they could be waiting outside their son's room for many days to come . And he needed to stay strong for all their sakes . Patting his wife on her shoulder, he walked towards the elevators .
Chu walked up to Ethan and spoke softly, "do you think that we should inform Jia Li? I mean…"
Ethan shook his head in negative even before she finished her sentence .
