"Just passing by," Ning Mochen said.
Chu Yuan would never believe him.
She bit her tongue hard, letting tears well up in her red-rimmed eyes, making her look broken and pitiful. "Mr. Ning, my grandmother...she..."
She gradually broke down in tears.
Ning Mochen felt that same agonizing pain return. He lowered his head and cupped Chu Yuan's face in his hands, his fingers unintentionally running through the strands of hair at her temple. "It's alright, Grandma will get better."
"Waaah..." Chu Yuan finally burst into tears, no longer holding back, and threw herself into Ning Mochen's arms.
The cool, wet tears and the burning breath fell onto the man's slightly exposed neck.
She was just inches away from the man's sensitive Adam's apple.
Ning Mochen's body stiffened slightly as a delicate fragrance wafted into his nostrils. The girl's fingertips, gripping his shirt, slowly permeated him.
It caused his thinking to become sluggish.
Just then, the door to the emergency room creaked open from the inside, and the attending physician, wearing a mask, walked out looking tired but relieved.
"Fortunately, the elderly person is out of danger."
"Thank you, doctor, thank you!" Chu Yuan immediately lifted her head from Ning Mochen's embrace and said sincerely.
Ning Mochen politely stepped back, feeling inexplicably lost without that delicate softness.
The doctor nodded, glanced at Ning Mochen, and stopped abruptly: "Mr. Ning! And this elderly gentleman is you?"
The latter coughed lightly, "Taking good care of every patient has always been the sole purpose of Ning's Hospital. Nothing else matters."
"Yes, yes, yes." The doctor nodded vigorously, but that's not what he really thought.
His gaze fell on Chu Yuan with a meaningful look.
The other staff members, recovering from their shock, couldn't help but turn their gaze to the hospital bed that was being slowly wheeled out.
Chu Yuan ran over in a few quick steps, grasped Grandma Li's hand, and choked out, "Grandma."
Unfortunately, Grandma Li was still unconscious and could not respond to Chu Yuan.
His aged eyes and brows were weakly closed, his lips were pale, and the instruments covering his body indicated the urgency of the situation.
Chu Yuan, along with the nurse, pushed Grandma Li back to her ward.
Ning Mochen followed behind.
Since he wouldn't leave, the doctor naturally didn't dare to leave either.
"Everyone, go back to what you're all busy with." When they arrived at the ward door, the attending physician had a feeling that the big boss wanted to talk to him, so he quickly waved for the others to leave.
Ning Mochen glanced into the ward and saw Chu Yuan using a cotton swab dipped in water to wipe around Grandma Li's lips.
His gaze held a tenderness and pity that he himself was unaware of.
But the attending physician saw it clearly and thought that he would have to pay more attention to the girl's grandmother in the future.
Sure enough, Ning Mochen's next question was, "How is it? Can the old man's illness be cured?"
"Sigh." The doctor sighed before speaking. "It's difficult. It's not just a heart problem. As people age, all organs age to varying degrees. Even if the heart problem can be cured, the problem of aging cannot be solved."
Are there any difficulties with the treatment now?
"Yes! The special medicine is effective, but the dosage is too small! For someone like Grandma Li, she needs to take at least one tablet a day to stabilize her condition as much as possible. But because the dosage is so small, we can only give her one tablet every other day. Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to be admitted to the emergency room today!"
Ning Mochen frowned, and after a long while, nodded and said, "I'll figure out a way to get the special medicine. You focus on your treatment and make sure that this kind of situation never happens again."
Upon hearing this, the attending physician couldn't help but widen his eyes.
That's a highly effective medicine, worth a fortune. It's already quite an achievement that Grandma Li can have one every other day.
Does President Ning intend to allocate more pills so that Grandma Li can have one a day?
What exactly is this old man's relationship with the Ning family?!
Or perhaps, is it... that President Ning and Grandma Li's granddaughter...?
Ning Mochen ignored his thoughts and took out his phone to call his special assistant, "No matter what method you use, get some more of the special heart medication from the research institute."
After giving his instructions, Ning Mochen walked into the ward.
Just then, Grandma Li woke up, and Chu Yuan finally smiled. "Grandma, Grandma, can you hear me?"
"Nan...Nannan?"
"It's me, Grandma! You were resuscitated again just now, it scared me to death!"
As Chu Yuan spoke, she glanced at Ning Mochen who had walked in, her eyes crinkling with a gentle, clear light.
Ning Mochen felt as if that gaze had suddenly entered his heart.
"You..." Grandma Li spoke with some difficulty.
Chu Yuan supported her shoulders and back, trying to help her up, but she wasn't strong enough.
At this moment, Ning Mochen stretched out his slender forearm, "Let me do it."
Chu Yuan obediently stepped aside.
Grandma Li was helped by Ning Mochen to sit on the hospital bed. When she opened her eyes fully, she realized that there was another person in the ward besides her granddaughter Chu Yuan.
He's still a man!
A handsome, tall, and distinguished man.
"Nannan... what's this?"
Chu Yuan slowly raised her head, a suspicious blush on her face. "Grandma, he... he is the head of this hospital, and also my... my fiancé."
Grandma Li had of course never met Ning Mochen.
This marriage was nothing more than a formality, merely a way to ensure her surrogacy was legal.
Hearing Chu Yuan's introduction, Ning Mochen felt inexplicably nervous. He placed his hands on the sides of his trouser seams and cautiously looked down at Grandma Li.
As a result, the latter suddenly became very angry and shouted, "Get out!"
"Grandma?" Chu Yuan was shocked and startled, her eyes fixed on the instruments on the table. "Grandma, please talk to me calmly. Don't get agitated. Your health is the most important thing."
