174: Chapter 174 Honey, I want a hug!

The doctors surrounded the Hospital bed, carefully checking on Qiu Xiaoyan's condition.

Qiu Xiaoyan had just regained consciousness, her expression still somewhat dazed.

Facing the doctor's examination, she simply cooperated blankly.

But when her gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Lin Xiao, the blankness on her face gradually melted away, slowly turning into grievance.

"Husband!"

Lin Xiao, Mrs. Qiu, and the doctors were stunned: ?

Who was she calling?

"Husband, I want a hug!"

Qiu Xiaoyan called out again, her voice tinged with bitterness.

Facing the gazes from the doctor and Mrs. Qiu, Lin Xiao opened his mouth, then pointed at himself.

"Me?"

"Husband, do you not want me anymore?"

Qiu Xiaoyan's pale little face was full of sadness, like a porcelain doll about to shatter.

Lin Xiao looked at Mrs. Qiu's shifting expressions and quickly explained: "Wait a moment, I don't know what's going on either. She and I are just ordinary friends, I swear!"

But after hearing these words, tears actually streamed down from Qiu Xiaoyan on the Hospital bed. "Husband, to think you really don't want me anymore. Our two years of relationship, can you just let it go like that? And our child..."

Hearing about a child, Lin Xiao almost knelt before this ancestor.

What was this all about?

He couldn't let her say things like this!

What about his innocence?

Lin Xiao rushed directly in front of Qiu Xiaoyan, bringing his face close, "Qiu Xiaoyan, look clearly, I am Lin Xiao!"

"I know you are Lin Xiao, Husband. Did you fall for someone else..."

Qiu Xiaoyan was still teary-eyed, looking like a puppy abandoned by its owner.

"Alright, you had better stop talking."

Lin Xiao realized that continuing to explain would only make things worse.

He had to turn to look at the doctor, "Doctor, what is going on here?"

The doctor frowned, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "It should be that the severe head trauma has caused memory confusion. It's not like this situation hasn't happened before."

"No, I didn't remember wrong! He is my husband, he is! He doesn't want me anymore. You are all actors he hired, you are all helping him lie to me!"

Qiu Xiaoyan suddenly became agitated, crying more and more fiercely.

The monitor nearby emitted a harsh sound.

The doctor and nurses rushed forward to soothe her, but after a burst of crying, Qiu Xiaoyan fainted again.

"Xiao Yan!"

Mrs. Qiu panicked and asked anxiously, "Doctor, why did she faint again?"

After another examination, the doctor slowly let out a sigh of relief, "It's fine, she was just too agitated and fainted temporarily."

Mrs. Qiu slumped into a chair, patting her chest with lingering fear.

"After she wakes up again, it is best not to stimulate her. Her current physical condition cannot withstand such large emotional fluctuations," the doctor advised.

"Then what should we do?" Mrs. Qiu was full of worry.

"The memory confusion should slowly disappear as the blood clots in her brain are absorbed. Before that, it is best to go along with her," the doctor said, not forgetting to take a serious look at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao had already been asking the System in his mind what was going on, and why such a situation occurred after using the Treatment Card.

The System indicated that the Treatment Card was meant to skip the process and achieve the goal directly.

Simply put, it ensures that the patient's injured organs resume operation, guaranteeing the patient stays alive.

As for the effects brought about by the original injuries, they would continue to exist and would recover at a normal speed.

Lin Xiao felt helpless, but there was no other way.

"Lin Xiao, can I discuss something with you?" At this moment, Mrs. Qiu suddenly spoke.

Lin Xiao seemed to have guessed what Mrs. Qiu wanted to say, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But Mrs. Qiu threw out a bargaining chip first, "I will give you three percent of the Qiu Corporation shares as a reward for saving Xiao Yan. If you can help by playing along and letting Xiao Yan recover slowly, I will give you another three percent, for a total of five percent! Lin Xiao, you should know what five percent of the shares means!"

The words of refusal Lin Xiao wanted to say were swallowed back.

Of course he knew!

This five percent of shares didn't just represent money.

More importantly, these shares could give him more power in the Qiu Corporation, which was not something that could be replaced by money alone.

Moreover, from the System's reminders, he knew that after the Qiu Family completed several major projects on hand, the company would develop rapidly, and its market value would quickly double!

Damn it! To think they were using such a huge temptation to test him again!

From another perspective, Mrs. Qiu's generosity also reflected her determination as a mother.

If Lin Xiao refused again, it would be a bit pretentious.

"Alright, I agree."

"Thank you, I will have someone go get the share transfer agreement immediately!"

Mrs. Qiu, as if afraid that Lin Xiao would change his mind, immediately called the company.

About an hour later, the share transfer agreement was delivered to the Hospital.

Watching Lin Xiao sign, the heavy stone in Mrs. Qiu's heart finally fell.

Lin Xiao couldn't wait to take out his phone and carefully record this entry in the spreadsheet tracking his secret stash.

Originally, his secret stash was enough for him to continue living extravagantly after the Lin family went bankrupt.

Now with the Qiu Family's shares, it could even barely support the Lin family's comeback!

It seems that good people really do get rewarded!

Lin Xiao was very happy.

But what he didn't expect was that playing along and being Qiu Xiaoyan's loving husband didn't seem to be an easy task.

For example, after being discharged from the Hospital, Qiu Xiaoyan actually acted spoiled and pestered Lin Xiao to go back to the Lin family home with her!

Looking at that pitiful little face, the little hand tightly gripping his sleeve, and those wet, slightly nervous eyes.

Then thinking about the shares he had obtained.

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and agreed!
