After hearing this, Mother Xu nodded immediately. The Third Young Master was indeed worthy of Old Lady Luo's appreciation. How many people could remain calm in the face of danger?
At this time, the doctor from Old Lady Luo's room came out. Mother Xu went to greet him. The doctor sighed and said, "The old lady had a sudden stroke. She can't even move her body and has difficulty speaking. The symptoms came on suddenly, so I can only prescribe some recuperative medicine. But the old lady is old, and this time her old illness has relapsed... Even if the medicine is injected, I'm afraid it's unlikely that she will be saved."
Every time Yi Ning heard another word, she felt more uncomfortable. She tightly grasped Luo Shenyuan's clothes and could hardly speak.
Mother Xu knew that the old lady's health had long been broken. Mother Zheng had said that two more years of life would be good. Her eyes were red, but she said nothing.
Luo Shenyuan said, "Then please write the prescription immediately, sir." Then he asked the steward behind him to take the doctor away.
After seeing the doctor leave, he lowered his head and said to Yining, "Meimei, do you want to come with me to see grandma?"
Yi Ning nodded to him. Luo Shenyuan slowly touched her head and said, "I'm glad you're not afraid."
Only then did Yi Ning notice that her third brother had called her by her nickname. It was the same thing as with Old Lady Luo. When they were being affectionate and doting on her, or when she was sick, they would coax her into calling her "Meimei." It seemed as if a child's nickname could comfort her.
She hugged her third brother's neck, feeling a sense of indescribable discomfort. The third brother probably wanted to comfort her.
Luo Shenyuan carried her into the inner room.
Lin Hairu and Chen sat beside Old Lady Luo's bed. They had obviously listened to the doctor's words, and several older maids were wiping their tears.
Yining immediately got down from Luo Shenyuan's arms and ran to Old Lady Luo's bedside.
Mrs. Luo's face had never looked so old, as if she had aged in the moment she hadn't seen him. Her eyes were still open, and when she saw Yining coming, they seemed to flicker. She murmured, "Meimei, Meimei..."
Yi Ning held Grandma Luo's hand. Seeing that the normally healthy Grandma Luo had suddenly become like this, she couldn't help crying. Tears streamed down her face as she choked out, "I'm here, Grandma, I'm here."
Mrs. Luo glanced around at the people sitting around her. Lin Hairu was also feeling very uncomfortable, her hands turning white from pulling at the clothes of the maid next to her. Chen's eyes were red as she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, remaining silent.
Yining, who was half-kneeling in front of her, was crying so pitifully. She was so young and sobbing that she couldn't breathe.
Luo Shenyuan looked at her from a distance, separated by a few people. His gaze was too deep, as if he had everything and yet nothing.
Mrs. Luo let go of Yining's hand and pulled her own hand out. She said with difficulty, "I... am talking to Shenyuan. You, you guys go out..."
Yining looked at her blankly, as if he wanted to hold her hand.
But Mrs. Luo closed her eyes, unable to bear to look at her anymore.
She has to get used to it from now on. She might not have her grandmother's love in the future, and she can't rely on her so much anymore.
The maid next to her said, "The old lady wants to talk to the third young master. Everyone, please go out first."
Yining didn't know what her grandmother was going to say to her third brother, but she didn't want to leave her. She was afraid that if she left, her grandmother would be gone. Lin Hairu half-lifted her up and led her out the door.
Luo Shenyuan walked up and stood in front of her bed. Everyone in the room had left and the lattice door was closed with a creaky sound.
He looked at Mrs. Luo quietly. The once-powerful Mrs. Luo was really not doing well. Mrs. Luo reached out and grabbed his hand. She looked at him and said slowly, "I only have one thing to ask of you. You... must do it!"
Luo Shenyuan listened silently.
"Meimei...you must protect her from now on!" Mrs. Luo was terrified at the thought of the secret of Yi Ning's identity. She was afraid that others would find out and hurt Yi Ning. So she grabbed Luo Shenyuan's hand and said word by word, "You must protect her...you can't let anyone else know."
Luo Shenyuan frowned slightly. What did Mrs. Luo mean by this? She couldn't let others know?
What is the secret that cannot be known?
"Will you...promise me?" Old Mrs. Luo's eyes flickered. Luo Shenyuan had never seen such a pleading look on her face. "I don't...I don't have many days left to live. Will you...will you promise me?"
In the past, Luo Shenyuan had always seen indifference on Old Lady Luo's face. But now, she was begging her, pleading with him to express his feelings. She had no other choice but to plead with this cold-hearted yet ruthless Third Sun, hoping that he would, for the sake of her impending death, not reject her.
Luo Shenyuan also half-knelt down. He finally sighed slowly and said, "Don't you know the answer? Then why bother asking again? Yi Ning is my sister, I will naturally protect her."
Mrs. Luo smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No..."
Luo Shenyuan raised his head and frowned slightly when he heard this.
"No, so don't... let others know..." Mrs. Luo took a breath, as if she was having trouble breathing. She knew Luo Shenyuan. He treated Yi Ning well, not just because she was his sister. That was why she could speak with confidence. With Luo Shenyuan's ability, he would keep this secret well. She squeezed his hand tightly, staring at him intently, and asked again in a hurried tone, "Do you promise?"
There was no movement in the room for a long time.
Luo Chengzhang also rushed back. When he learned that his mother had suddenly fallen ill, his face turned pale and he immediately rushed into the room.
The girls quickly stopped him.
Luo Chengzhang didn't go in until Luo Shenyuan came out of the room, followed by Luo Huaiyuan and Luo Shanyuan.
