Renault's body stiffened instantly.
"What happened?" Lina held his arm, with lingering affection in her eyes.
Renault placed a kiss on her forehead and gently stroked her slightly wrinkled brows with his fingertips. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
His voice still had the hoarseness from the love affair, but he had regained his former composure.
Three minutes later, Renault, neatly dressed, opened the door.
He glanced at Lei Shuangcheng coldly, and that look made this confidant involuntarily take half a step back.
"You'd better have a good reason." Renault's voice was colder than the polar wind.
Lei Shuangcheng swallowed his saliva, "Butler William said that the old patriarch suddenly vomited blood and now..."
Before he finished speaking, Renault had already rushed towards the main building.
Lina hurriedly adjusted her messy collar and had to jog to keep up with him.
The master bedroom in my old home was filled with a pungent smell of blood.
Three family doctors were busy around the bed, and the monitor was emitting a shrill alarm.
Butler William stood in the shadows with a serious expression.
"What happened?" Renault squeezed to the bedside, and when he saw his grandfather's pale face and bloodstains on his clothes, his heart suddenly tightened.
William stepped forward and said, "The old master has been overworked with the handover these past few days, and his liver..."
Renault raised his hand to interrupt.
Of course he knew that his grandfather had been diagnosed with advanced liver cancer and the doctor said he had three months left.
But I didn't expect it to deteriorate so suddenly.
It happened at the critical moment when he had just succeeded to the throne.
Those side branches who are eyeing the opportunity are waiting for this opportunity.
He pulled out his cell phone and quickly dialed a number.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up, and the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other could be heard faintly in the background.
"Renault?" Gu Youran's voice was slightly breathless.
"My grandfather is critically ill. He has advanced liver cancer and is rapidly deteriorating. I need your help."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds.
Gu Youran immediately said, "Send me the latest inspection report, and I'll be there as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Renault realized that cold sweat had appeared on his palms.
Nothing can happen to grandpa now.
The transfer of family power has not yet been stabilized. If the old head of the family passes away at this time, those side branches that are ready to make trouble will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.
…
On the other side, Gu Youran had just put down her phone when Shi Heng hugged her back in his arms.
"Renault again?" He said in a muffled voice, rubbing his chin against her shoulder. "What's going on this time?"
Gu Youran turned around, fiddling with his new stubble. "His grandfather is critically ill. I have to go to Country Y right away."
She lifted the quilt and stood up, revealing the lingering kiss marks on her neck.
"Now?" Shi Heng frowned and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside. It was 1:20 in the morning.
Gu Youran ignored him, got out of bed and started changing clothes.
Shi Heng looked at her quick movements and sighed helplessly.
He knew her too well. As long as the patient needed her, she would rush there immediately, even in the middle of the night.
What's more, this time, it was her childhood sweetheart Renault who came to ask for help.
"I'll go with you." Shi Heng pulled back the quilt, revealing his muscular upper body. "Ask Renault to send a plane to pick us up."
He deliberately emphasized the last few words, "I'm going to monitor the entire process this time, to prevent Renault from finding another excuse to 'discuss the condition alone' with you."
When Gu Youran turned around, she saw his tense jawline and the jealousy in his eyes.
I couldn't help but flick his collarbone with my finger, "Childish."
…
Ten fifteen.
The private plane landed on the tarmac of Leathers Castle.
As soon as Gu Youran stepped out of the cabin, a biting cold wind blew towards him.
Shi Heng immediately took off his cashmere scarf and carefully wrapped it around her neck twice.
At the end of the apron, Renault stood in the cold wind in a black coat.
The new head of the family now had dark circles under his eyes, and a few strands of hair were scattered on his temples.
"The situation is worse than expected." Renault turned and led them quickly towards the main building.
After passing through three strict security checkpoints, we finally arrived at the old master's bedroom.
There was a strong smell of medicine mixed with the smell of blood.
When the three doctors in white coats saw them come in, they immediately made way for them.
Gu Youran's heart sank after just one look.
The old man had a sallow complexion and a noticeably bulging abdomen, which are typical symptoms of severe liver failure.
Without saying a word, she stepped forward to feel his pulse, and the pulse under her fingertips was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.
"Modern medicine is helpless," she looked up at Renault, "but I can try acupuncture, maybe it can extend my life."
Renault's gray-blue eyes flashed a glint, "What do I need to prepare?"
"A completely quiet room where no one is allowed to disturb you for four hours."
Shi Heng suddenly held her hand, "Can I stay with you?"
She shook her head slightly. "Acupuncture requires full concentration."
Seeing his frown, she added softly, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
The old butler William spoke at the right time: "The lounge next door has already..."
"No need." Shi Heng interrupted him, his eyes never leaving his wife, "I'll wait outside the door."
Gu Youran felt a warm feeling in his heart and was about to respond when the monitor suddenly issued a shrill alarm.
The old man on the bed began to twitch violently, and dark red blood foam overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Everyone get out immediately!" Gu Youran shouted sternly.
After the last person left, she locked the door and quickly returned to the bed.
She unbuttoned the old patriarch's shirt and twirled the nine-star bracelet on her wrist.
“Whoosh—”
Nine silver needles popped out instantly and accurately pierced the nine major acupuncture points in the chest and abdomen.
The moment the silver needle entered the body, the tail of the needle vibrated violently and made a strange buzzing sound, as if resonating with some mysterious power.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from the needle and flowed along the meridians throughout the body.
Gu Youran immediately activated her ability of clairvoyance, and the scene before her shocked her.
Under the nourishment of the golden light, the necrotic liver tissues began to gradually regain their color and regain vitality.
This is clearly a magical power that can reverse terminal illness!
She didn't dare to be careless and concentrated on controlling the silver needle.
As time passed, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
As a doctor, she is well aware of the fragility of the liver, which can cause severe bleeding if not handled with care.
The golden light continued to wash over the cancerous tissue, forcing the originally spreading cancer cells back little by little, and the necrotic blood vessels were reopened.
However, at this moment, the old patriarch suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood and his body began to twitch violently!
She immediately changed her technique, and the nine golden lights quickly gathered together to firmly protect her heart meridian.
She gritted her teeth, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Gu Youran looked at the golden light dancing on the silver needle with a frown.
Although the power of the silver needles was repairing the damaged liver, the erosion of late-stage liver cancer was too deep and the cancer cells were still fighting stubbornly.
"It seems that this is the only method..." She bit her fingertip and dripped a drop of bright red blood onto the Nine Star Ring.
"Buzz—"
The Nine Star Ring suddenly vibrated violently.
The nine originally scattered golden lights gathered together in an instant, fused into a golden beam of light, and rushed straight into the main body of the old home!
