Lin Zhixing always knew that her boyfriend's uncle, He Yanchen, was cold-hearted and unapproachable. She had heard that the man was noble, self-controlled, and did not associate with women.
...When Zhou Qiaohua said this, her whole body couldn't stop shaking and her face turned pale.
"Aunt Zhou, calm down. I assure you that this matter has nothing to do with He Yanchen."
Lin Zhixing half squatted down and tried to calm Zhou Qiaohua down.
"Impossible!" Zhou Qiaohua's face was filled with anger. "I haven't contacted He Yan for two days. This has never happened!"
"Aunt Zhou..."
"I'm no longer in Huayu Hospital. The money for the surgery here was all paid for by He Yan. What else does he want? I gave birth to him and raised him. Now he's rich. Does he want me to die?"
Zhou Qiaohua's voice was trembling.
There's actually no logic in what he said.
There were several doctors and nurses nearby, and a defibrillator was ready.
In case the patient suffers ventricular fibrillation, be prepared to rescue at any time.
"Aunt Zhou, Mr. He is your son and blood relative. No matter what you do, he will never do anything to hurt you."
Lin Zhixing took out his phone and said, "I can call Mr. He for you, but I have to wait until you calm down."
Zhou Qiaohua's heart couldn't withstand this at all.
If she quarreled with He Yanchen on the phone, and something happened...
"What blood relative?! I'd rather not have given birth to him! I should have thrown him away back then, brought Lion home early, and shouldn't have let him suffer so much outside..."
As Zhou Qiaohua spoke, her eyes became moist.
In her opinion, all the suffering He Yan endured later was due to her original choice.
She ultimately chose He Yanchen and did not adopt him.
Lin Zhixing really thought Zhou Qiaohua was stupid and ridiculous.
But she couldn't provoke her.
"Take a deep breath and adjust your mood." Lin Zhixing said as he did so. "Here, inhale..."
Zhou Qiaohua just called He Yanchen.
She came up and started yelling. He Yanchen said a few words and when he realized he couldn't communicate, he hung up the phone.
Zhou Qiaohua called several more times, but the call was hung up each time.
Lin Zhixing took his cell phone out of his pocket.
I found several unread messages from He Yanchen.
The man said he was taking Lin Zian to visit the robotics company.
There are also a few photos.
The last message was sent just a few minutes ago.
He Yanchen: [If you need to call, please let me know in advance. I'll find a place where there's no one.]
Lin Zhixing sent a message: [The call should be coming soon.]
Soon, she received a "OK" from the man.
Lin Zhixing put away his phone and tried to persuade Zhou Qiaohua: "Auntie Zhou, we live in a society ruled by law now. Even Mr. He has no right to lock someone up at will."
"He Yan doesn't know many people in China. He has such a good personality and accompanies me every day. He doesn't have any enemies at all. Who else could it be except him?"
Zhou Qiaohua was no longer so excited.
She was certain that this matter must be related to He Yanchen.
Lin Zhixing took the opportunity to ask, "Auntie Zhou, are you sure He Yan doesn't know a few people in China? He's been with you all this time and can always take out hundreds of thousands of dollars. Have you ever thought about where his money comes from?"
Zhou Qiaohua's cloudy eyes froze for a moment.
It was obvious that she had thought about this kind of question.
only……
She chose to ignore it.
He Yan is so young and has no parents. He works in a hospital. Even if he saved some money from working in Huayu Hospital in the past few years, it is not consistent with his expenses.
"Aunt Zhou, Mr. He is your son. Even if you don't believe he's a good son, I think you should believe he has a bottom line and won't do anything that harms the world."
Even though Lin Zhixing didn't know He Yanchen's past, she always trusted men.
Zhou Qiaohua sat on the bed with her fingers on her legs and did not respond for a long time.
Lin Zhixing said tentatively, "Why don't you take a break first? Don't worry. Maybe we'll have news soon."
Zhou Qiaohua's eyes turned, and then she said, "No, call He Yanchen now. I want to ask him."
“…”
There was silence in the ward for a moment.
The doctors and nurses nearby stood up straight.
They were worried that something might happen to Zhou Qiaohua and were ready to rescue her at any time.
Lin Zhixing placed his hands in the pockets of his white coat, his fingers tightly gripping the phone. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Okay, I'll make the call for you now, but you have to promise me not to get excited for the sake of your own health."
"Um."
Zhou Qiaohua said.
Lin Zhixing took his phone out of his pocket and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Aunt Zhou, there's one more thing I've decided to tell you."
Zhou Qiaohua looked over.
Lin Zhixing glanced at the doctors and nurses around him and said, "You guys go out and wait. The air in the ward is poorly ventilated, and having so many people around isn't good for the patient's health."
She was right, and her purpose was obvious.
Soon, they and the nanny were the only ones left in the ward.
Lin Zhixing said, "When you were at Huayu Hospital, your heart function suddenly declined. We found a psychoactive drug in your blood that is only available overseas."
Zhou Qiaohua looked a little surprised, but she quickly calmed down.
It seems that I am not particularly surprised.
Lin Zhixing continued, "This type of medicine isn't currently available in China. It was discovered by Huayu's doctors after they sent your blood sample abroad. This type of medicine is very harmful to the heart, which is why your physical condition has suddenly deteriorated."
“…”
Zhou Qiaohua sat on the bed and listened quietly.
Her reaction was completely beyond Lin Zhixing's expectations.
Now that things have come to this, Lin Zhixing no longer hides it.
"These drugs put a huge strain on the body, especially the heart. Athletes can't take large doses. If someone gives them to a heart patient, it could kill him."
Lin Zhixing stared at Zhou Qiaohua while speaking.
The old man's mood was surprisingly stable.
It’s like someone who already knows the answer to the riddle is listening to someone else reading it.
Lin Zhixing didn't want to beat around the bush anymore. "Auntie Zhou, when did you take this medicine? What did the person who took it say to you?"
Zhou Qiaohua's fingers tightly grasped the thin fabric of the hospital gown and she slowly spoke:
"Don't try to sow discord between us. He Yan is my son. He is the only person in this world who will not harm me."
