His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1572  Heart Attack

Dom didn't care about other people's gazes on him.

Food was life.

He continued eating until he finally felt close to 95% full. The remaining 5% was for the after-meal snacks that he planned to buy later. On the way to this restaurant earlier, he had seen other stores, stalls, and kiosks selling a variety of food. A lot of them looked good and smelled good, so he planned on trying as much food as he could eat.

After lunch, Dom pulled Iris and the others to shop for snacks next. They agreed.

They split into two groups. Alona Bauer led Dom and Chen Fei to queue up for hot snacks.

Iris and her mother-in-law went another way to buy boxed pastries, chocolates, and other specialty preserved food to add to the souvenirs that they planned to give away after returning to their home country.

Alona, Dom and Chen Fei joined the two after buying the hot snacks. They had fun buying edible souvenirs.

Once again, the local business owners were ecstatic to have such great business today thanks to Iris' group.

For the first half of the afternoon, the group shopped but they didn't drop. Not all. In fact, they were still very energetic even after returning to the hotel.

Jin Liwei was so happy to see his wife again. The twins were taking a nap. He thought that he could finally spend some time alone with his wife, but unfortunately, the girls weren't done for the day yet.

"I'm sorry, darling. We booked a spa session downstairs. I'll see you later for dinner, okay?" Iris hugged his waist and looked up at him.

He sighed. What could he do? He held her waist and bent down to kiss her mouth. "Okay, love. Enjoy."

"Let's go, Xiulan my dear," Huang Yuyan called Iris.

"I need to go," Iris whispered.

He gave her another kiss on the mouth before letting her go. He watched as his mother hooked arms with his wife, acting as if they were sisters instead of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Releasing another sigh, he returned to the suite to check on his sleeping sons.

Little Matcha was well-behaved as usual, staying in one position for the most part.

In contrast, Little Mochi was like a spinning top. His little socked toes were almost on his twin brother's head.

Jin Liwei sighed and carefully put back his son in a proper position.

Little Mochi opened his eyes. "Dada?"

Jin Liwei paused and held his breath.

Thankfully, Little Mochi was in a good mood. Maybe he had been dreaming of something good. He only grinned at his daddy before returning to sleep.

Jin Liwei released a big sigh of relief.

Later that night, after everyone ate dinner together at the restaurant that Jin Liwei booked, Iris finished taking a hot shower in their suite.

"Mama!" Little Mochi bounced on the big bed.

"Mama," Little Matcha also called her.

The twins were surrounded by toys that Iris and the others bought earlier.

"Hi, my sweethearts." She gave each of her sons a big kiss on their cheeks. "Where's Daddy?"

Little Mochi: "Dada?"

Little Matcha pointed a finger at the balcony. "Uh." (There.)

Iris glanced at the balcony. Indeed, her husband was standing outside talking to someone on the phone. She didn't bother him and proceeded to play with her sons instead.

Then she sang them their favourite Russian lullaby. In no time, Little Matcha fell asleep beside her. Little Mochi took a little more time to lull, but he eventually succumbed to dreamland.

Jin Liwei entered by this time. Iris smiled at him but immediately noticed that something was wrong with his expression.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Grandma Li had a heart attack," Jin Liwei said in a too-calm voice.

Those who didn't know him might ask: How could he be so unfeeling in this kind of serious situation?

But as his wife, Iris knew Jin Liwei inside and out. This was just him doing his best to keep it together. He must be dying inside.

Iris also felt like her stomach dropped to the floor after hearing that her grandmother-in-law suffered a heart attack. She climbed off the bed and hugged her husband.

"Is she…?" Iris didn't want to finish her sentence.

"Grandma is still alive," Jin Liwei whispered.

She released a sigh of relief. "As long as she's still alive. Does Mom know about this yet?"

He shook his head before hugging her back. "I asked Grandma's people not to tell Mom yet. I think that it would be better if I was the one to tell my mother. At least, I might be able to better deal with it if she becomes hysterical later."

"I'll help you tell her."

"En." He hugged her tighter, drawing comfort from her.

"Does your brother know about it?" Iris asked.

"En. He's already on his way to the hospital. It's a bit far from where he's at, so he's heading to Dragon Palace first to borrow our helicopter."

"Good."

Iris glanced at their sons sleeping peacefully in bed. The twins had no idea that their great-grandmother was in critical condition. She envied their innocence a little.

"We have to start packing so that we can return home as soon as possible," she said.

He froze for a couple of seconds. "What about Orchidia Germany's launch?"

She glared at him. "My grandmother-in-law is in critical condition and you want me to stay here to celebrate my company's launch? The family will always be important to me, Jin Liwei. Let's go and inform Mom and Grandpa Lu. No, wait. Let me speak with Dom and the nannies first."

Jin Liwei didn't move. He stared at her, looking as if he had lost his brain.

"What are you waiting for?" she asked while pulling his hand, urging him to move. "Time is of the essence. I want to return home and make sure that Grandma Li is okay with my own eyes."

He released a few shaky breaths. His eyes looked misty.

Seeing him like this, Iris felt like someone was squeezing her heart. She hugged his waist, silently letting him know that she would always be there for him.

"Let's go home, okay?" she whispered.

"En."

This evening proved to be a sleepless one for the adults.

Iris asked the nannies to watch over the children. Dom immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Boss?" he asked.

She took him aside and told him, "Grandma Li had a heart attack."

Dom gasped, his expression grave. "Oh no. Is she…?"

"Thankfully, she's still alive," she said in a hurry.

He clutched his chest and took a few deep breaths.

"Liwei and I need to inform Mom, Grandpa Lu, and the others about what happened," Iris said. "Please help us pack, Dom. You and the nannies should start packing, too. We'll leave as soon as our flight is arranged."

Dom nodded. "Got it, Boss. Don't worry. I'll take care of everything here. Please go with Sir Boss and do what you need to do."

"Thanks, Dom. I appreciate it."

Iris went to find her husband. Jin Liwei was once again talking on his phone. It seemed that he was already making arrangements for their flight. Their jumbo plane, LX Air, needed to be prepared immediately.

"We'll leave in two hours," Jin Liwei said.

"Okay. Two hours it is."

The husband and wife first went to inform Grandpa Lu. The old man's eyes shook before sighing.

In an instant, Grandpa Lu appeared more like his age. The light disappeared from his eyes. He looked older than usual.

"Your Grandpa Jin wouldn't want to reunite with your grandmother too soon," Grandpa Lu said with a heavy sigh. "He wants her to live very long, preferably to live in her hundreds."

Jin Liwei held Iris' hand. She felt him squeezing her hand but was still careful not to hurt her.

"Let's go home and see your Grandma Li," the old man said, looking and sounding tired.

"En." Jin Liwei nodded.

Grandpa Lu looked at Iris and gave her a sad smile. "I'm sorry that we won't be able to attend Orchidia Germany's launch." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She shook her head. "Family is the most important."

"There are no truer words than those." Grandpa sighed again. "Go and inform your mother now, my boy. Be careful about how you say it to Yuyan. She might be a grandmother now, but her emotional mentality is still like a little girl."

The husband and wife left Grandpa Lu so that he could start packing immediately. They headed to Huang Yuyan's room next.

Jin Liwei knocked.

A few seconds later, the door opened.

"Son! Xiulan, my dear!" Huang Yuyan smiled at them. She was wearing an Orchidia Beauty sheet mask on her face. "Come inside first. Are my grandsons sleeping already? Is there something you need?"

Jin Liwei stood there as if he had forgotten how to function properly.

"Son?" Huang Yuyan looked at him in concern.

"Let's go inside first," Iris said before pulling her husband inside.

This time, Huang Yuyan finally sensed something amiss. "What's wrong?"

The husband and wife sat on the couch together while Huang Yuyan sat in an armchair across them. Shopping bags littered everywhere. It seemed that Huang Yuyan had been in the middle of organizing her purchases earlier today when the couple knocked on her door.

"Mom, we need to tell you something," Iris said.

"W-what is it?" Huang Yuyan became nervous.

Iris patted her husband's hand, silently encouraging and reassuring him.

Jin Liwei took a couple of deep breaths. "Mom, Grandma Li had a heart attack."

"WHAT?!" Huang Yuyan jumped up from her seat. Her voice became high-pitched in an instant. "When did this happen?!!! Is your grandma still alive?!"
