Ye Yingsu finished speaking and began to tidy up the medical kit.

Lan Liehuo had no choice but to answer the phone. The call was from his mother. He could ignore anyone’s call, except his mother’s.

"Hello? Mom, is there something you need?"

"..."

Lan Liehuo went into the bedroom and closed the door. Ye Yingsu closed the medical kit, glanced at the bedroom door, stood up, and put the kit back in place.

"Liehuo, what’s going on? The engagement date is almost here, why haven’t you come back yet? How long are you planning to delay your matters?"

"Soon, soon. Don’t worry, Mom, I will definitely rush back before the engagement." Lan Liehuo responded perfunctorily.

"No matter how urgent things are over there, you must come back as soon as possible!"

"Absolutely, I will."

Lan’s mother finally hung up the call. Lan Liehuo set his phone aside, looked at his arm, and gently blew on it, feeling that the injury was worth it this time.

He finally felt this woman’s tenderness again.

...

Beiming Han initially intended to leave after sending Gu Qingxin downstairs, but he couldn’t bear to. So greedily, he escorted her upstairs. Initially, he planned to stop at her apartment, yet greedily, he gave her a bath and dried her hair.

Only after placing her on the bed did he reluctantly kiss her forehead.

"Go on, I know you’ve been busy these days. Once the old man is cremated, I will go to pay my respects."

Gu Qingxin was actually quite sad, because she knew the old man was her maternal grandfather.

However, her current situation was awkward, without a rightful status, making it impossible for her to fulfill her duties toward him.

"I’ll send someone to pick you up." Beiming Han kissed her lips again, this time not allowing himself to hesitate. He got up and quickly walked out of the bedroom.

Gu Qingxin sat up, wanting to call him once more, but in the end, she forced the words back down.

Beiming Han didn’t dare to look back. He feared that one more glance at her, and he truly wouldn’t want to leave.

After leaving, he stood at the entrance for a long time before turning to leave.

...

Inside the hospital.

Huangfu Ye had been standing by the critical care unit. He applied to Bai Jingqing to go inside but was refused, as Bai Jingqing said to wait until An Xiaonuan was out of danger.

If any negligence resulted in her infection at this time, who would he cry to?

Bai Jingqing instructed the doctors to take good care of An Xiaonuan, then headed to the office to get Beiming Han’s medical report.

The report was ready yesterday, but he had been too busy to look at it until now.

After arriving at the office, Bai Jingqing took a sip of water and then pulled out the medical report.

Everything was fine in the initial test results, but when he saw the stomach examination results of Beiming Han, his hand shook violently, and he felt a strong sense of suffocation.

He suddenly sat down on a chair, his fingers trembling, causing the white paper to rustle.

This...

This is...

No! Impossible! It absolutely can’t be!

Bai Jingqing couldn’t believe it. He quickly picked up the phone to the examination department. When someone answered, he asked, "The test report I asked you for, did you make a mistake?"

"Director, you personally instructed us. How could we make a mistake? I tested it myself. There’s no mistake."

"This is... a tumor?" As a professional doctor, even Bai Jingqing wasn’t sure. He thought it must be an error, but his throat felt as if it were being tightly strangled, causing his larynx to creak.
