Mo Nan's heart sank. He suddenly remembered that Professor Chen said President Ou only had five years to live. Now, counting on his fingers, five years had already passed. Mo Nan's eyes showed fear and panic. At this moment, he felt so sad that he wanted to cry. He didn't want the president to leave.
When Ou Zihan saw the bright red blood, he did not panic, because this was not the first time he had coughed up blood. At first, he coughed up blood once a week, but now it had become once every two days.
As he coughed up blood more and more frequently, he felt his body getting worse and weaker. Sometimes when he was working at night, he would fall asleep while sitting. He persevered, trying to fight the disease and spend more time with the people around him.
"President, your cough is so bad, let us take you to the hospital." The executives said all at once, already getting up to help him.
"It's nothing, just a cold. Let's call it a day and call it a day." Ou Zihan smiled, appearing nonchalant, but in reality, he was enduring the pain; his chest was throbbing as if it were about to explode.
He clutched the towel tightly in his hand and placed it under the table so that no one would see it. If the board of directors found out that he was seriously ill, it would inevitably cause chaos among the directors, leading to a power struggle within the company. The Ou Group would be plunged into a predicament, and the Ou stock market would plummet.
Then all his efforts over the years would be in vain. He had worked so hard to push the Ou Group to a higher level, and he didn't want to see his hard work go to waste.
"Yes, President." The directors nodded respectfully, and then left one after another.
Only Mo Nan and the president remained in the conference room.
Mo Nan quickly took out the pills from his pocket and handed the water and pills to the president. "President, please take your medicine quickly. I'll take you to the hospital." His throat tightened, and his voice became somewhat hoarse.
Looking at the president, who was once so strong and invincible, capable of taking down dozens of people with his bare hands, now pale, weak, and utterly vulnerable, he felt a tearing pain in his heart.
Ou Zihan smiled faintly, "Going to the hospital won't help, it'll just be a waste of time. I'd rather go home and spend more time with my wife and kids. Mo Nan, I'll have to rely on you to take care of things at the company from now on."
His magnetic voice was weak and feeble, and his forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat. He looked at Mo Nan as if he were entrusting something to her, his handsome eyes filled with earnest expectation.
“President…” Mo Nan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Ou Zihan clutched his chest with one hand and reached for the pills from Mo Nan's hand with the other. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his temple, and his vision blurred. Mo Nan's hand seemed to be waving in front of him, then suddenly multiplying into many hands.
Immediately afterwards, everything went black before his eyes, and he naturally failed to catch the pill, which fell to the ground.
"President, what's wrong?" Mo Nan grabbed his hand anxiously.
"Mo Nan, I think I can't see anymore." Ou Zihan's eyes were empty as he helplessly grabbed Mo Nan's arm. He looked around frantically, but all he could see was darkness.
"President, I'll take you to the hospital." Mo Nan was extremely flustered, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"No, I'm not going to the hospital. I want to go home. I want to find Xiaozhi. I want to find Lele." Ou Zihan's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs. Even if death was choking him, he would seize the last bit of time to return to his loved ones.
"Okay, President, I'll take you home right away." Mo Nan wiped away a tear from her face. At this moment, the president's wishes were the most important.
Mo Nan helped Ou Zihan walk outside, and at that moment, Ou Zihan's eyes suddenly lit up again.
“Mo Nan, look, even God is helping me. I can see it again. Let me go. I can walk by myself now,” Ou Zihan said.
"President, this..." President, this is a seriously ill patient. If he were in a hospital, he would definitely be in the intensive care unit, the kind of person who is lying down and unable to move, with tubes and oxygen connected to his body and being cared for. How could Mo Nan abandon him? This time, he could not obey orders.
However, Ou Zihan resolutely pushed Mo Nan's arm away. He endured the excruciating pain and slowly moved his feet. Although he was so weak that he was swaying, he insisted on walking by himself. He was a man of integrity, and he wanted to go back to see his beloved.
Mo Nan followed closely behind him, and seeing his strong appearance, tears blurred her vision.

How could someone as strong as the CEO have such a tragic fate? Mo Nan felt a pang of heartache.
Ou Zihan returned home and had just entered the living room.
Lele, like a little rabbit, quickly jumped into his warm embrace.
"Daddy, you're finally back! I missed you so much!" Lele's sweet, childlike voice rang out. His little face was fair and adorable, and he was very handsome, just like his father. He looked exactly like him, practically a miniature version of Ou Zihan.
He kissed his father's face vigorously with his little mouth, covering his father's face completely, leaving Ou Zihan's face covered in drool. Ou Zihan gritted his teeth in pain, but a warm, spring-like smile graced his handsome face.
Ou Zihan held his son's soft body in his arms, feeling his son's warm and smooth lips. He thought about how cute his son was and how reluctant he was to leave. His eyes inexplicably welled up with tears. Looking at the little face that looked exactly like his own, he felt incredibly heartbroken and emotional. He kissed the fair little face heavily.
"Lele, Daddy missed you too. Were you good today? Did you disobey Mommy?" Ou Zihan held Lele in his arms with one hand and gently stroked Lele's little nose with the other, his eyes full of affection.
