He frowned slightly, wondering why Dr. Randall had called him.

Jiang Yimei has recovered, so there shouldn't be anything else wrong, right?

With a question in his mind, he swiped to answer the call.

...

As he listened, his expression changed, and he was completely stunned, unable to believe the result.

He asked Dr. Randall again to confirm if this was really the case.

Dr. Randall simply said that this was possible and advised him to keep a close eye on the situation and take precautions.

Lin Congzhi lay dejectedly on the bed, feeling utterly hopeless about life.

How could such a good person turn out like this? Why does God have to play such a cruel trick on her?

He stared at the ceiling for half an hour before his mood improved.

Dr. Randall only said that it was possible for it to develop that way, not that it was certain; furthermore, the disease was not incurable, and could be cured as long as the right medicine was found.

He must not panic; he must pull himself together and do everything he can to save Jiang Yimei.

...

The next day, the four people who met in the hotel corridor set off together to return to China.

Throughout the journey, Lin Congzhi was preoccupied and lacked his usual playful and carefree demeanor.

Gao Jiakai, Jiang Yimei, and Yaoyao all felt something was off and wondered what had happened to him.

Gao Jiakai believed he had not offended Brother Lin, nor had Yao Yao.

Jiang Yimei felt that Lin Congzhi might still be holding a grudge against her for opposing swimming in the sea yesterday.

If Lin Congzhi were such a lecherous or ungentlemanly man, she would rather not have met him.

After boarding the plane, Gao Jiakai, who was sitting next to Lin Congzhi, couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Brother Lin, what's wrong with you today?"

Lin Congzhi responded indifferently, "It's nothing."

Kao Chia-kai pressed, "Are you really alright?"

Lin Congzhi raised his eyes and glanced at him, his eyes filled with a cold glint: "Didn't you hear me clearly?"

"No, no!"

Gao Jiakai responded tremblingly, then turned his head away, not daring to disturb Brother Lin any further.

This was the first time Lin Congzhi had spoken to Gao Jiakai in such an attitude, given that Gao Jiakai was not causing trouble. Jiang Yimei frowned, not understanding why Lin Congzhi seemed like a different person overnight.

"Lin Congzhi, you wouldn't be upset and holding a grudge because I didn't agree to go into business yesterday, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Yao immediately criticized Lin Congzhi: "Lin Congzhi, if you are this kind of person, then we should cut ties and stop being classmates."

“I have always respected your opinion and will not hold a grudge over such trivial matters.”

Lin Congzhi's gaze was as serene and indifferent as late autumn, showing no interest whatsoever in anything in the world.

Jiang Yimei was puzzled: "Then why are you looking so worried?"

Lin Congzhi made up an excuse and casually replied, "There are some things going on at the company, and I'm thinking about how to resolve them."

Jiang Yimei's heart skipped a beat, and she frowned slightly: "What happened at the company?"

Lin Congzhi calmly replied, "You don't need to worry about this, I'll handle it."

"As the company's general manager, shouldn't I have the right to know?"

Jiang Yimei feared that she had caused the company's problems, since she had been missing for many days. Without a general manager, many things could not be carried out, which would inevitably lead to a decline in performance and widespread employee discontent.

“There are some things to be settled in the foreign trade department, and you don’t understand this, so please don’t interfere,” Lin Congzhi replied.
