"Grandpa Lu, please stop!" Long Jinjing squeezed herself between the grandfather and grandson. "Please don't hit Zihao anymore!"

"Hah!" Grandpa Lu looked like he was still raring to go for more hits but listened to Long Jinjing and stopped his attacks on his grandson to avoid hitting her by accident. "What is the use of his bloody huge muscles if he can't even take my paltry hits? I want to know!"

Paltry hits? The mouths of the hospital staff around them twitched. Which ones of those loud, painful-sounding hits were paltry? Even they hurt just watching. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

"Jing, are you protecting that asshole?!" her best friend asked in fury and dismay.

Chen Fei tried to pull her away from between the grandfather and grandson but Long Jinjing refused to budge. Long Jinjing was afraid that Grandpa Lu would start hitting Lu Zihao again.

"You're protecting me?" Lu Zihao asked the same question next. He sounded pleased, even smug.

"Long Jinjing!" Chen Fei looked frustrated at her best friend and murderous towards Lu Zihao who now had a hint of a smile on his devilishly handsome, scarred face.

"I…." Long Jinjing bit her lower lip and looked at Grandpa Lu with a pink face. "Grandpa Lu, please don't hit him anymore."

"Why don't you want me to hit that pinhead? He deserves it for bullying Jinjing my girl! Tell me, do you still care about him? I want to know!"

"I love him, Grandpa Lu."

Pin-drop silence.

Then the sound of a bunch of snacks falling on the floor disturbed the shocked stillness.

"Ah, my maiden heart can't take it!" Dom lifted a manicured hand in a dainty manner over his forehead and pretended to swoon against the nearby wall.

That was when Long Jinjing finally realized what she said. Did she just confess to Lu Zihao, her ex-boyfriend, in front of everyone? Oh God, she did! Horror filled her. She wished that the floor could open up and swallow her.

"Oh no!" She covered her burning face and ran away.

"Jing!" Chen Fei glared at Lu Zihao first, and then gave a polite nod at Grandpa Lu before pulling Dom, so that they could chase after Long Jinjing together.

Lu Zihao was about to chase after them, no, chase only after his woman, but a strong hand gripped his arm and prevented him from leaving. It was Grandpa Lu who shook his head at him.

He could always overpower the old man with pure strength alone, but just as the thought entered his mind, a fierce warning reverberated within his consciousness followed by a sharp, almost crippling pain throughout his body, especially his head.

"You dare!" the remnant's enraged voice attacked his mind.

"Argh!" He doubled over and fell to his knees before twisting his whole body to the floor.

"Haohao! My boy, what's happening to you?! Tell me, I want to know! Doctor, where's the doctor?! You're nurses, right?! Quick! Help my beloved grandson!!!"

Lu Zihao was no longer aware of what was happening around him anymore. The remnant had gone crazy attacking his consciousness.

"Touch my grandpa and I'll end both of our existences! I'm not kidding! I'll really do it!"

Lu Zihao, no, Nikolai wanted to explain that he wasn't even planning on harming the old man, that it was just the kind of automatic thought instilled into him as the Vetrov heir. The remnant, however, didn't give him any chance to correct the misunderstanding.

The last thing he saw was Grandpa Lu's frightened face. It was the first time that he saw such an expression on the old man. His heart hurt upon seeing it. But before he could reassure the old man, everything went dark.
