He Rong stayed in one of the few, but very expensive, private VIP rooms in Hua'ai Hospital, on the fifteenth floor. The service and security facilities there were excellent.

When Le Yao came out of the elevator, she was checked and questioned by the bodyguards. It was only because Uncle Bai knew she was coming that he came to pick her up at the elevator that she was spared the tedious questioning.

"What's wrong with my mother-in-law?" Le Yao asked as she followed Uncle Bai inside.

“Miss He was staying at home just fine. The temperature started to drop last night, and then it snowed heavily today. The roads are bad, and she wasn't planning on going out. But this afternoon, Miss He received a phone call and insisted on going out, so Xiao Peng had to drive her out.” Uncle Bai sighed as he spoke. “Xiao Peng said that Miss He went to a coffee shop, but they wouldn't let him in. She came out about half an hour later, and he didn't see anyone suspicious, so he came straight back…”

Because He Rong is not married, and most of Nangong Jue's people do not acknowledge her, people still often call her Miss He.

"And what happens after you come back?" Le Yao frowned.

"After she came back, she went straight to her room and said not to call her for dinner." Uncle Bai frowned. "Even though she said that, I still asked the kitchen to cook some bird's nest porridge that evening. But when I knocked on the door, there was no response. I had to break down the door and found that she had a fever..."

Le Yao frowned: "Why did you suddenly get a fever?"

Uncle Bai frowned, remained silent for a long time, and then nodded: "Yes, I really didn't see anything unusual."

Le Yao nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Bai." Then she walked to the door of the ward.

Fu Yun Shen happened to come out and smiled when he saw Le Yao: "Why did you come here?"

“She’s my mother-in-law, after all. Since A-Jue isn’t here, I have to come over, right? How is she?” Le Yao smiled and nodded.

"It's nothing serious, just a rather high fever that turned into pneumonia. Luckily, it was caught in time, and a few days of IV drips will do the trick." Fu Yun Shen glanced back at the ward. "However, to fully recover, he'll need to rest for a while."

"That's good." Le Yao nodded. "I'll go in and take a look." If something happened, even if Nangong Jue didn't like this mother, she would still find a way to notify him. If she didn't know about Nangong Jue's other identity, that would be fine, but now that she knew, she would definitely not notify him and distract him.

"She has a cold, which is contagious. You should wear a mask." Fu Yunshen waved to a nurse who was nearby and asked her to bring a medical mask to Le Yao.

"Okay." Le Yao put on her mask and went inside.

He Rong coughed twice, and when he heard someone come in, he hurriedly looked towards the door. When he saw Le Yao, he was immediately delighted: "Alan, you've come to see me? Where's Ajue? Why isn't he with you?"

Le Yao's eyes flickered, and she tugged at the corner of her mouth: "Miss He, A-Jue is struggling all by himself. He has neither a father nor a mother to love him. How can he be so carefree?"

He Rong's lips twitched, but she still pressed on relentlessly, "I know, but I have a fever. He's my son, he has to come see me, right? Even if he's busy, he can't be busy all night, can he?"
