"Doctor Chen has quite a temper for someone so young," Song Ling complained as they walked out of the consultation room. "Look at Lu Chen, a wealthy second-generation heir. He's so well-mannered…"
"He's a talented doctor, and being praised constantly might have made him a bit arrogant," Fang Liguo remarked.
"Oh, right. Doctor Chen mentioned that someone asked him to pay attention to Old Madame Fang. It must be the Lu Family, isn't it?" Song Ling speculated. The Lu Family had more connections than they did, and they were the only ones who could assist with Old Madame Fang's illness. Furthermore, Lu Chen and Jiayi were engaged…
"It must be the Lu Family. Who else could it be? We should treat them to a meal, but…" Fang Liguo sighed. Since the transfer wasn't going to happen, they had no choice but to let Old Madame Fang stay in the hospital. It was quite frustrating for him.
"Liguo, which floor did they choose?" Suddenly, Song Ling remembered something. "I recall the wards on that floor being quite expensive."
This particular floor was filled with VIP wards, with half of them being ordinary VIP rooms and the other half being top-tier VIP rooms. Old Madame Fang was currently in an ordinary VIP room because they had informed the Lu Family about it. However, the top-tier VIP rooms were a different story. They couldn't simply pay to stay there just because they were wealthy. How did that annoying girl manage to secure a spot there? She didn't know anyone influential.
"Dad, Mom," a gentle voice called out.
"Jiayi, what are you doing here?" Song Ling turned around and saw her daughter, along with Lu Chen.
Speaking of Lu Chen, he was an incredibly handsome man. Song Ling was fond of him and delighted to have him as her son-in-law.
"Chen, you're here too?" Song Ling exclaimed.
Lu Chen politely greeted them, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
"Hey!" Fang Liguo smiled warmly. "Were you two on a date? What brings you to the hospital?"
"We were planning to watch a movie, but Brother Lu Chen drove me home. However, the nanny told me that there was a call from the hospital. I was worried something had happened to Grandma, so I came to check. Brother Lu Chen brought me here, and he's still here…" Jiayi explained, confirming their arrival together.
"Mom, Dad, what happened to Grandma?" Fang Jiayi was skilled at acting. She despised her biased grandmother, but she excelled at pretending. "I think I saw you downstairs." That familiar figure emerged from the VIP elevator, but she vanished before getting a clear view.
Upon hearing Fang Yuan's mention, Lu Chen was taken aback. Hadn't she said that Fang Yuan had returned to her own home? What was she doing here?
"It's her… let's not talk about her. Your grandma is fine, and the hospital asked us to make the payment again. But since we're all here, let's go inside and see her. Old Madame Fang will surely be moved by your filial devotion," Fang Liguo said.
Lu Chen and Fang Jiayi exchanged a glance, holding each other's hands as they entered the ward together.
Old Madame Fang lay on the bed, looking pale and frail.
Fang Jiayi began to sob. "I haven't been here for two days. How did you become so thin?" She indirectly referred to her absence over the past few days.
"Why would God subject Grandma to such suffering? Why can't I bear the pain? Why…" Fang Jiayi's voice cracked with emotion.
Seeing Fang Jiayi in tears, Lu Chen gently wiped them away. "Silly girl, you've endured so much all these years…"
Fang Jiayi, tears streaming down her face, replied, "It's okay if I suffer a little. As long as God spares Grandma, I'm willing to endure anything for her sake!"
Observing the kind-hearted girl before him, Lu Chen felt deeply moved. His fondness for her grew even stronger.
Fang Jiayi became more and more impassioned. "If I hadn't returned home, Brother Lu Chen would have married my sister. I ruined his happiness, and that's why God is punishing the family I love the most. If that's the case, I don't want to be a noble lady, and I don't want to marry Brother Lu Chen!"
"You're a member of the Fang Family, and it's only natural for you to return to your roots. You married me due to the engagement—it's not your fault," Lu Chen reassured her, wiping away her tears. "Fang Yuan has enjoyed a good life for 18 years, and it's time for her to step aside. She's the one who should take over the position. Even if she wanted to marry me, I would never marry her. You're the only one I care for…"
....
Bo Yi's car weaved through the traffic, swiftly making its way towards Lily Park.
As they drove home, Bo Yi's phone continued to vibrate incessantly. He glanced at the number and decided to ignore it. However, the persistent caller refused to give up.
"Just pull over," Fang Yuan suggested, realizing that he couldn't answer the phone because of her presence. She was about to step out of the car when he clarified, "It's a harassing call."
