The nurse's surname is Ren, she is 30 years old, and she is not married yet.

She got off work at 10:30 p.m. that day and rushed to the bus stop near the hospital, but no bus came after waiting for a while.

She picked up her phone several times and opened the ride-hailing app, but after seeing the estimated fare, she finally put her phone down.

"drop!"

Just then, a car stopped in front of her, the window rolled down, revealing Gu Fanyan's face.

“Miss Gu!” She was taken aback.

"Nurse Ren, get in the car, I'll take you home," Gu Fanyan said.

They often met at the hospital and became quite familiar with each other.

"Thank you, Miss Gu. Isn't this too much trouble for you?"

"You take care of my mother every day; I should be thanking you."

The car drove forward.

When they reached the fork in the road, Gu Fanyan turned right with practiced ease.

Nurse Ren was taken aback. "Miss Gu... how did you know I was going to the right?"

She hadn't had a chance to say it yet.

Gu Fanyan smiled slightly, "Nurse Ren, you've really gone through a lot. Even though you're not married yet, you're helping your fiancé take care of his mother who has Alzheimer's."

“You work at a hospital, and your salary goes towards hiring a caregiver and buying medicine for your future mother-in-law. You must be living a very tight life.”

Nurse Ren looked surprised: "Miss Gu, you..."

Gu Fanyan had her assistant investigate her and learned everything about her current life situation.

"I had someone investigate you," Gu Fanyan admitted frankly, "because I needed your help with something."

Nurse Ren was still surprised: "How can I help you?"

She was just a nurse.

Gu Fanyan shook her head: "It's not complicated. I just want to understand my mother's condition more clearly."

“You should see Dr. Lin. Aren’t you two on good terms?” Nurse Ren asked.

Gu Fanyan nodded, "Because we are close, he never tells me the truth so that I won't worry... Nurse Ren, you are a loyal and affectionate person, you should be able to understand my feelings."

She lowered her eyes sadly: "My mother has always loved me very much since I was little. If something were to happen to my mother, I really don't know if I could handle it."

Nurse Ren sighed with pity; she understood that feeling.

“My boyfriend’s mother is very good to me, and I don’t want anything to happen to her, so I’m willing to take care of her,” she said. “But my salary is really limited, so I’ve always lived a very frugal life.”

Gu Fanyan asked, "What about your boyfriend? Doesn't he share the burden?"

“He’s studying abroad,” Nurse Ren shook her head. “He works part-time while studying, and it’s good enough if he can earn enough to cover his tuition and living expenses.”

Gu Fanyan also sighed sadly and slowly parked the car outside a dilapidated residential area.

This is Nurse Ren's residence.

Then, she took out a card and placed it on the armrest box.

“Nurse Ren, I won’t let you help me for nothing,” she said. “This money is enough to tide you over for a while. In addition, you can go abroad to see your boyfriend.”

"You two haven't seen each other in a long time, have you?"

These words touched Nurse Ren deeply; her eyes reddened, and she almost burst into tears.

“What do you want?” she asked.

“All the diagnostic records Dr. Lin made for my mother, and all the medications he prescribed, are not just from this time, but from the time Dr. Lin started serving as my mother’s family doctor,” Gu Fanyan replied.

Nurse Ren thought for a moment, "These things are still recorded and kept, but they are confidential, and I may not be able to take them out."

Gu Fanyan looked at her: "I think if you have the means, you should go abroad to see your boyfriend. Couples who are separated for long periods of time and don't see each other..."

Gu Fanyan bet she really wanted to see her boyfriend.

Nurse Ren made up her mind and bit her lip hard: "Miss Gu, I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee I'll get it. Let's keep this card later."

Gu Fanyan put the card directly into her bag, a smile playing on her lips: "I believe you can do it."

Nurse Ren's heart sank. She nodded solemnly and said, "Wait for my news." Then she got out of the car and left.

Gu Fanyan watched her figure disappear into the dim lights of the residential area.

Gu Fanyan did not leave immediately, but sat in the car in a daze.

Suddenly, Yun Suiwan called, "Sister Fanyan, are you alright? How is Auntie?"

Gu Fanyan rallied her spirits, "I'm fine. My mom is fine too, she looks even better than when you saw her yesterday."

Yun Suiwan breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "What happened between you and Lin Zhibai?"

Gu Fanyan's eyes flickered slightly: "What's wrong with him?"

“He sat alone in the bar, drinking alone. He drank two bottles and then left. He wouldn’t talk to anyone who tried to talk to him,” Yun Suiwan replied.

“We… had a little disagreement,” Gu Fanyan sighed inwardly. “It’s okay, it’ll be fine once my mom gets better.”

"Won't this really affect your relationship?" Yun Suiwan asked with concern.

"Won't."

Although she said that, Yun Suiwan couldn't help but feel that she lacked confidence.

Yun Suiwan didn't ask too many questions and could only offer a few words of comfort.

Lin Zhibai got into the car, leaned back on the seat, and stared blankly at the roof.

"Young Master Lin." The assistant handed over a bottle of water from the front row.

He took it, drank two sips, and felt that the water was no different from the wine, both burning his throat.

When you're feeling bitter, nothing tastes good.

"How is Aunt Gu?" he asked.

"Much better, he can get out of bed and walk around now," the assistant replied.

Lin Zhibai's lips curled up slightly; she must be very happy.

He picked up the phone, unconsciously found her number, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dial it.

She hasn't called these past few days.

He could call her now, but she wouldn't answer; he'd just be asking for trouble.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

He was startled, expecting it to be her calling, but the caller ID showed it was another assistant in charge of the company's business.

"What is it? Tell me." He answered the phone.

"Young Master Lin, we have several important contracts that you need to sign. Please come to the company," the assistant said.

He agreed and gestured for his assistant, who was driving in the front, to turn around.

As soon as I stepped out of the company elevator, I saw someone walking out from the depths of the corridor, with a hint of panic in their eyes.

He recognized the other person's face and looked puzzled. "Gu Zheng?"

Gu Zheng tried his best to suppress the strange look in his eyes and stopped walking: "Young Master Lin."

"I'm here to discuss a few engineering matters with your assistant."

Lin Zhibai nodded: "Has the contact been made?"

"Alright," Gu Zheng had completely calmed down and looked Lin Zhibai up and down. "Young Master Lin, have you been drinking?"

Lin Zhibai hummed in agreement, a hint of provocation in his expression.

He's been drinking, so what?

Gu Zheng continued, "The project is currently in the midst of intensive development, and many ancillary projects have also broken ground. Young Master Lin has a lot on his mind."

"You think I can't manage it?" Lin Zhibai raised an eyebrow.

Gu Zheng smiled and said, "I dare not question Young Master Lin's abilities, but it's always better to be cautious."
