The Villain Saves The Male Lead - Chapter 203

When Ren didn’t turn up for quite some time and Fang realised that they’d be late if they delayed any further, he called Ren on his mobile phone.

Ren didn’t answer the call. Which was something that almost never happened. No matter how angry Ren was with Fang, he would always receive Fang’s call – and Fang did the same for Ren. After all, even if they were angry with each other, that didn’t mean that they stopped caring for each other, did it? This was something both of them had agreed on, and unless there were unavoidable circumstances, Ren and Fang would never ignore the other’s phone call.

And thus, Ren not picking up Fang’s call just after they had a disagreement – this was something that made Fang very anxious. For some reason, his chest felt rather stuffy at the moment, and a sense of foreboding welled up within him.

Worried about his partner, Fang ran upstairs to their combined office at the hospital that had been especially designed by Rudy for the two of them. Fang cursed himself silently in his mind. He should never have stormed off like that while he was still angry. He should have stayed with Ren and waited for him silently, even if they didn’t speak. They should have gone together.

Besides, hadn’t Ren wanted to make those extravagant arrangements simply because it was Fang himself who had demanded a grand wedding? Fang was the one who had started this entire mess in the first place. After all, who knew better than Fang how much Ren doted on his fiancé and their babies? Anything that they wanted, Ren would try his best to get it for them.

Fang decided that he would apologise to Ren properly as soon as he saw his beloved. Thinking thus, he burst into the spacious office that they shared. Rudy had designed it very well. Not only did they have a large space to work with their individual desks and even a small meeting space where they could entertain half a dozen people, there was also an attached bedroom for them to sleep and a bathroom to freshen up.

Fang’s purple eyes surveyed the office space anxiously, but Ren wasn’t in the room. Fang couldn’t see Ren in the bedroom, either. However, he quickly noticed that the bathroom door was slightly ajar.

Fang ran to the bathroom and his heart almost stopped in fright when he saw Ren lying on the bathroom floor, his mouth full of blood and clutching his chest.

Fang was an excellent doctor, and his medical instincts took over as soon as he saw a patient in front of him, tamping down on the part of Fang that wanted to panic at the sight of his precious fiancé like that. He realised immediately that Ren was sick and without hesitation, he picked up the unconscious man in his arms and carried him to the cardiac emergency room.

The nurses on duty were shocked.

“Is that…Chairman Ren? What happened?” one of them asked.

“Get the cardiologist on duty right now,” Fang ordered. “And you, you set up the equipment. His heart rate is falling at an alarming rate.”

Fortunately, the cardiologist on duty entered the room before the nurse needed to go out to fetch him. Seeing the situation at hand, he quickly abandoned the cup of coffee he’d just fetched and took charge of the situation.

Five minutes later, Ren’s heart rate was stable and he was breathing normally.

As soon as Ren was stable, Fang stepped out for a moment and immediately called Steward Paul and asked him to pick up the babies from school, saying he and Ren were held up at the hospital.

He didn’t know that their six children had already sensed that something was wrong with their beloved Daddy. The four toddlers were crying uncontrollably and Rudy had run out of the classroom without a single world. Sylvia had quickly excused herself and Rudy from the last class and called Pax with her emergency phone before heading to the playroom and pacifying her four siblings there. Rudy had already disappeared heaven knows where, and the member of the Blue Wolves who was in charge of Rudy’s safety was gone as well.

Rudy and Sylvia’s class teacher came over to the playroom after assigning a substitute teacher for the class. All six children of Chairman Ren and Prince Fang were treated as national treasures of the school and the Headmaster had issued standing instructions to all the teachers and staff members to this effect. She learnt from the playroom teacher that the four children had been terribly upset until Sylvia came in to soothe them.

Pax reached the school and found the five children in the playroom. Ray, Snow, Smoke and Shadow were in their respective bodyguards’ arms, and Sylvia was speaking quietly with both the teachers. She looked up when Pax entered.

“Uncle Pax!” she cried and rushed to him.

Pax picked her up and stroked her head. “You’ve done very well, my dear,” he told her gently. He turned to the teachers. “I’ll take them home.”

The teachers knew Pax and Wolf very well and they were listed as decision makers for the children on behalf of Ren and Fang in their absence. They nodded.

“Where is Rudy?” Pax asked.

“We don’t know,” Sylvia said. “His bodyguard is not here, either.”

Pax immediately called Rudy’s bodyguard. “Where are you?” he asked.

“Young Master Rudy said he needs to go to the hospital urgently,” the bodyguard replied. “I am taking him to SIMS, and we are about to reach.”

“All right,” Pax said. “When you see Fang, tell him that I’ve taken the other babies home.”

“Yes, sir,” the bodyguard replied.

Pax put the five children in his car and sent the bodyguards away.

The moment they were alone, the three young toddlers turned into furballs.

“What happened to Daddy, Uncle Pax?” Smoke asked anxiously.

“I don’t know yet,” Pax said, dialling Fang’s number.

Fang, who had just finished speaking with Steward Paul, picked up right away.

“What happened to Ren?” Pax asked without preamble.

There was a long pause at the other end. Finally, Fang’s hoarse voice said, “Did the babies sense it? I just asked Steward Paul to pick them up.”

“Yes,” Pax said. “Rudy has almost reached SIMS, and I’ve got the other kids, don’t worry. What happened?”

“Ren…Ren had a heart attack,” Fang said quietly.

The car swerved dangerously as Pax nearly had a heart attack himself upon hearing that!

The three furballs whined in the backseat and Sylvia stroked their fur gently to calm them down. Ray whimpered and clung to Sylvia as well.

“Is it related to his magic?” Sylvia asked.

“It doesn’t seem to be,” Fang replied.

“How is he now?” Pax asked.

“He hasn’t woken up yet,” Fang said. “He’s stable now and we’re still running diagnostics in the cardiology department, but…Ren is sick, Pax. I…”

“We’re on our way,” Pax said firmly, turning the car around.

Fang drew a long, rattling breath. “Pax…thank you.”

“No need,” Pax said. “You hang in there, kid. I’ll see you in a bit.”

Pax disconnected the phone and called Steward Paul first, telling him he’d already picked up the babies. Then he called Wolf and told him about the situation.

Wolf and Claw lived close to the hospital, so the couple were already at the hospital with Myra and Manx when Pax arrived with the five children, who had changed into their human forms again. They were speaking quietly with a clearly shaken Fang and Rudy, who was clutching Fang’s hand and looking utterly miserable.

“Papa, they are here,” Rudy said quietly, as soon as he spotted his siblings with Pax.

Rudy’s eyes were red rimmed and swollen – it was clear that he had just cried.

Fang knelt and held out his arms. All six children immediately went to him and Fang pulled his children into his arms. The man’s shoulders trembled and the six babies patted him with their small hands.

“Don’t worry, Papa,” Sylvia said softly. “Daddy will be all right.”

“If Daddy’s body won’t work, I will make a fresh body for Daddy, just like my own!” Rudy said fiercely. “Papa, I will find a way to save Daddy!”

Wolf shook his head slightly at Pax, signalling that Ren had not yet woken up.

The group waited for a while before the cardiologist and his team stepped out. Fang stood up quickly and greeted him with the question, “How is he? Were you able to find any underlying cause…?”

“Prince Fang, Chairman Ren is stable for now, but his heart seems to be very weak. I’ve never seen such a condition in someone so young. Also, there are signs of initial stages of multiple organ failure that we typically see in very old people. We’re not able to figure out the cause. I’ve called the heads of all the departments here to check properly,” the cardiologist said gravely.

Fang stumbled.. Pax caught him quickly.
