Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 622 Happy to hear

The sun gradually position itself high in the sky as Imperial Military Hospital stood its ground. While patients enter the building, Lu Tian slowly exits.

The cold aura that usually surrounds him was no longer there making him look like an immortal who was lost in the mundane world. His steps were small as he walks in the direction of his car.

However, when he was only 3 steps away from the door to the driver side, he stops.

He doesn't remember how he left the private ward Grandfather Ji was in, nor does he even try. His mind at this moment was filled with millions of thoughts before he tilt his head back to look up at the clear the sky.

Five years…

Grandfather Ji has been keeping his health condition hidden from everyone for that long. The same Grandfather Ji who isn't a stranger but the elder he (Lu Tian) respects and sees as his own blood related grandfather.

Even he (Lu Tian) could not believe it when he saw the old man in the hospital. If it weren't for that one phone call, he would have thought the old man was still in good health.

The image of Grandfather Ji sitting on the hospital bed floated inside his mind and a faint smile full of affliction curls on his lip.

His eyes stares up at the sky like he was searching for an answer.

He knows that the old man is growing older by day, but he came to realize how much Grandfather Ji has aged.

His eyes slowly close and he inhales the air that lingered in front of him. Ever since he became the CEO of Lu Corps, he has dealt with many difficult situations, but never one like this.

He doesn't want to hide anything from his wife, but he already gave his word to Grandfather Ji. What should he do now?

"Mr. Lu!"

A voice calls out from behind and interrupts Lu Tian's thoughts. He opens his eyes and lower his head away from the sky. As he turns around to the person, the coldness that disappeared quickly returns like a cape covering his body.

His entire demeanor changed back to his usual self like he was never lost in his own thoughts.

"You don't have to address me in a formal way."

His words fell as he looks at Ji Jingxu, who was now standing no more than five feet away from him.

"Lu Tian is fine."

Ji Jingxu had only stopped walking when he heard the aloof man's words. He swore it felt like someone had pulled an invisible rope and he happened to be the unlucky person who fell for the trap. He quickly steadies himself from stumbling forward and looks at Lu Tian.

His eyes were unblinking like was trying to read the man. He has met Lu Tian a few times, but each time he saw the man, he could never tell if he (Lu Tian) was being serious or just messing around.

However, the longer he tries to read Lu Tian, he couldn't help but feel his own cheeks burn.

Now he can see why so many women are infatuated with the man. Lu Tian is known to be a coldblooded man, but he still has an appearance that can make both men and woman blush.

He clears his throat and quickly raise his hand to brush the tip of his nose to rid of his fl.u.s.ter face.

"Ahem. I'm sorry for stopping you so suddenly. I wanted to ask how jie is doing."

Lu Tian showed no reaction, but he found the boy interesting. Everyone in Imperial knows that Ji Jingxu is adopted with no bloood tied to the Ji family, but if one did not know, they would clearly think he (Ji Jingxu) is the splitting image of Grandfather Ji.

However, thinking back to Ji Jingxu's words, he couldn't help but miss his wife.

"She is recuperating at home."

A faint 'ah' escapes Ji Jingxu's mouth. He had wanted to visit his older sister, but Grandfather Ji wouldn't let him. The old man kept nagging him to not bother Yue Ling and focus studying for his final exams.

Lu Tian was able to see that Ji Jingxu was a little disappointed with his response. He glance to the hospital building then looks back at the boy.

"Once Grandfather Ji recovers, I'll bring Yue Ling to visit Ji Mansion."

His words fell as he thought about the old man inside the hospital. He may have agreed to not tell his wife, but he thinks it bests to let her see Grandfather Ji and Ji Jingxu as much as time allows.

Not only that, there was still the outdoorsy Inu who is staying at the Ji Mansion and doesn't know when to come home.

Ji Jingxu didn't know what to say as his entire being was shot with happiness. He nods his head vigorously before putting on a determine expression.

"Thank you, I will let grandfather know. I'm sure he will be happy to hear this."

Lu Tian gives a light nod as a very tiny smile curl on his lip. Seeing that there must not be anything else, he decides it was time to leave.

"Lu Tian, please take care of jie."

Just when Lu Tian was about to turn around towards his car, Ji Jingxu quickly came to his senses and spoke. He takes a deep breath and leans forward to give the man a polite bow.

"I hope you will continue to make her happy."

Like his grandfather, he wants Yue Ling to find a good man who will love and never mistreat her. She is a good and caring person, who deserves more than a life of tears.

Even if Lu Tian is a ruthless person who shows no mercy upon his enemies, if he truly loves Yue Ling, then that is all that matters.

Unaware of the boy's thoughts, Lu Tian glance down at him. He knows that those words were normal for a brother to say in regard to their sister, but coming from Ji Jingxu, it held a deeper meaning.

His wife has gone through many painful events in her life. Even after learning of who she is, his feelings for her never once falter. He promise to give her a lifetime of his love. For that reason, he will never let his carelessness cause pain to her again.

Thinking this, a glint of determination and promising flash in Lu Tian's dark eyes. He part his lip and gives Ji Jingxu an answer.

"With my life."

Ji Jingxu sighs in relief at those words. He straightens his posture and gives Lu Tian a smile with ease before watching the man enter his car and drives away from the hospital.

When he (Ji Jingxu) asked Lu Tian to take care of Yue Ling, he meant every word. Not just now, but also in the future.

As the back of Lu Tian's car further into the distance, Ji Jingxu looks up to the clear blue sky.

Grandfather Ji didn't want them to find out about his illness, but by chance he found out.

Both of them are afraid of hurting Yue Ling as she has already lost so many people she loves.

However, he hopes that when the time comes and Yue Ling finds out, Lu Tian will be there by her side to comfort her. As for him, he is a man, so he will be able to handle the situation on his own.

Or at least, he hopes he will be able to…
