Genius Girl is the Big Shot's Beloved Treasure-Chapter 877: Zhi Zhi, Don’t Be Afraid. I’ll Always Be With You (1)

"Uncle, the teacher will be okay, right?" Lu Xingzhi’s charming eyes dimmed at this moment, slightly red and a bit panicked.

"No, she won’t be. Nothing will happen." Huo Jincheng straightforwardly hugged her, "Zhi Zhi, it takes ten hours to fly there. Can you rest a bit first?"

"I can’t sleep. Uncle, I’m scared." She clutched tightly at the clothes behind Huo Jincheng. She was always strong within, never showing her weaknesses to others.

Even with Huo Jincheng, after they got together, Lu Xingzhi wouldn’t complain about anything to him.

Nor would she cry everything out of feeling wronged.

But now, hearing that Bertrand was being rescued, with a critical illness notice issued, she was genuinely panicked.

Lu Xingzhi greatly respected Bertrand. Their relationship was not only teacher-student but also slightly father-daughter.

Even if they didn’t often meet, they would frequently stay in touch.

Originally, Bertrand was supposed to come over for her twentieth birthday, but she refused.

She didn’t think birthdays were very important, choosing not to let Bertrand travel far, come in a hurry, and leave swiftly.

Unless he was vacationing nearby.

She remembered that after her birthday, she had sent a few photos from her place to Bertrand and invited him over for vacation.

Clearly, just recently Bertrand had agreed to come. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

How did he suddenly end up in the emergency room?

"Zhi Zhi, don’t be afraid. The teacher will be alright." Huo Jincheng could only comfort her like this.

He also didn’t know what exactly happened, and all he could do now was comfort Lu Xingzhi to help her feel a bit better, unable to say anything else.

Because it’s what Lu Xingzhi wants to hear the most right now.

And it’s the most calming for her.

"Zhi Zhi, I will always be with you."

"Uncle." Lu Xingzhi leaned against him, without saying anything further, just quietly leaning.

Huo Jincheng knew that Lu Xingzhi feared losing family more than anyone else.

Her family was gone, all that remained, whom she cared about, was Bertrand.

If he also...

It would be a severe blow to Lu Xingzhi.

Ten hours passed in a daze on the plane, and as soon as the plane landed, Lu Xingzhi couldn’t wait to rush to the hospital.

"Edmond, how is the teacher?"

Upon seeing Edmond, Lu Xingzhi’s first sentence was an anxious inquiry.

During the flight, she had already received a message from Edmond that Bertrand was out of danger, but being seen would finally put her mind at ease.

Moreover, when she asked Edmond what had happened to the teacher, why he was in the emergency room, Edmond merely said she’d know once she arrived.

Lu Xingzhi understood then, this wasn’t a minor issue.

Otherwise, Edmond would have explained everything to her.

"Uncle just woke up, you can go in and see him." Edmond didn’t look too well either.

Walking into the ward and seeing Bertrand, Lu Xingzhi finally couldn’t hold back her tears, they fell.

She didn’t want to cry nor wanted to cry in front of the teacher.

Wiping away tears, Lu Xingzhi hadn’t spoken yet when Bertrand said, "Why are you crying? Aren’t I all right?"

"Teacher." Lu Xingzhi went over and hugged him, "Teacher, it’s so good to see you."

Bertrand gently patted her shoulder, silently comforting her.

After a few seconds, he said, "It was such a long way; you shouldn’t have come."

He hadn’t expected Edmond to notify them.
