Li Ruo naturally had no idea that Li Daocheng still cared about her.

Right now, she's busy at the company, reviewing financial statements.

She was still a little dazed when her phone rang.

Looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen, she paused for a moment, then answered instinctively: "Hello, is this Ms. Li Ruo? This is the First People's Hospital. I am Dr. Zhang, the attending physician in charge of your mother Jiang Luo's treatment."

The man's voice was calm and unhurried, but it made Li Ruo's heart sink immediately: "It's like this, according to the previous situation, your mother could have been discharged from the hospital after this period of time, but we found that she is at risk of heart failure at any time. Not only that, there is also a lot of fluid in her heart, so she needs to continue to be observed in the hospital for a period of time."

Hearing Dr. Zhang's words, Li Ru frowned, and after a long while, she stammered, "Then... is it serious?"

"This cannot be confirmed yet; further diagnosis is needed..."

Upon hearing this, Li Ruo gasped sharply, her expression growing increasingly grim.

Li Ruo could no longer hear what was said after that.

She hung up the phone in a daze, and after thinking it over and over, she finally couldn't help but find Jiang Ze's phone number.

The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered.

Hearing the noise coming from the other side, Li Ruo was slightly taken aback, only then realizing that Jiang Ze should still be busy.

She pursed her lips and told him what Dr. Zhang had just said, and also shared her thoughts: "Mom's condition isn't very good either, so in my opinion, we should find someone to take care of her, so that we can detect anything that might happen immediately."

After a long pause, Jiang Ze finally replied, "Since it's so bad, I'd rather go. You still have company matters to attend to."

Hearing his weary voice, Li Ruo sighed silently: "No, I'll go instead. Brother, you haven't finished dealing with that matter yet, and now is a crucial time."

It's important to understand that plagiarism is a serious matter. If it's not handled properly, Jiang Ze's future will be ruined.

Under such circumstances, how could she bear to put the other person under such great pressure?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ze couldn't help but sigh: "I don't want you to work so hard, having to juggle work and taking care of Mom at the same time."

"Brother, it's okay. I'll bring my computer and files with me. If anything happens, I can handle it immediately."

Li Ruo shook her head and gently comforted her, "Besides, I'm also Mom's child. She's always taken care of me, and now it's my turn to give back."

Her voice was soft, yet filled with a deep sense of comfort, causing a tenderness to flash in Jiang Ze's eyes.

He sighed and said, "Alright, I'll take over for you once I've finished what I'm doing these days."

"good."

Li Ruo smiled slightly before hanging up the phone.

At that moment, the lights above the hospital operating room slowly went out.

When they saw the doctor come out, Grandpa Wen, Li Daocheng, and Sun Lan all surrounded him.

"How is Li Rao?"

At this moment, Old Master Wen, looking anxious, spoke first.

The doctor frowned: "The baby has been saved, but the specifics will depend on the subsequent situation, and it's hard to say for sure right now."

Upon receiving this news, Old Master Wen's heart clenched.

The next moment, Li Rao, pale-faced, was pushed out of bed.

She remained unconscious, with an IV drip in her arm.

Soon, she was taken to a VIP ward that had been arranged in advance.

Once you move in, you'll be cared for by a dedicated caregiver.

Having achieved their goal, Li Daocheng and Sun Lan had no time to care about their daughter anymore.

Seeing the two people's calculating expressions, Old Master Wen felt disgusted. After suppressing his anger and giving instructions to the caregiver, he left with a gloomy face.

At this moment, Wen Changfeng followed behind him without saying a word.

After the two entered the villa one after the other, he was about to go upstairs when he was stopped by Old Master Wen.

"stop."

Upon hearing this voice, which clearly contained anger, Wen Changfeng's face stiffened. After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously approached.

The next moment, the cane in Old Master Wen's hand struck him hard on the back with a "bang".

The sudden, intense pain caused Wen Changfeng to fall to his knees with a thud, unable to help but let out a wail.

Upon seeing this, the butler's eyelids twitched, and he sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

Sure enough, the next moment, he heard the old man speak directly: "Go and bring the family rules."

Upon hearing this, the butler gasped and wanted to offer some advice.

But when faced with the old man's angry expression, he immediately shrank back, dared not say another word, and turned to go upstairs.

Soon, a short whip as thick as an arm was handed to Old Master Wen.

Without a second thought, he snatched it away, saying, "How could our Wen family have such a scoundrel like you? What was the point of all your education? How dare you be so heartless! Do you even know that Li Rao is carrying your child?!"

Old Master Wen gripped the whip tightly in his hand and pointed at Wen Changfeng's nose, cursing him.

Wen Changfeng remained silent, listening with his head down.

Seeing his appearance, Old Master Wen did not hold back and directly lashed him with the short whip in his hand.

This thing is custom-made and won't leave any marks on your body, but every time it's pulled, it causes intense pain.

Therefore, unless things go extremely wrong, Old Master Wen would not use this family discipline.

It's clear that he was genuinely angry this time.
