"Nianyang, Tingyan, you asked me to stay, is there something you want to tell me?"
Once the Chu Family members left and the hospital room door closed, Chu Zhan asked with a serious face. He wasn’t foolish; he could clearly sense another meaning in Nianyang and Li Tingyan’s words.
Specifically distracting his parents couldn’t just be for him to help keep watch.
Chu Zhan’s intuition indeed rivaled Nianyang’s; the two truly were lost siblings separated for years!
Li Tingyan smirked, "I knew I couldn’t hide it from you."
Chu Zhan pressed his lips tightly, "What? Did my grandfather’s surgery fail? Are you worried my parents couldn’t handle the shock, so you purposely diverted them?"
Nianyang chuckled, "Brother Chu, do you think I would be so irresponsible? If I hadn’t treated the patient successfully, I wouldn’t have given the patient’s family false hope, as the result would only lead them to more despair."
Chu Zhan’s eyes lit up, "You mean my grandfather’s surgery was a success? Then why didn’t you say so right away!"
Li Tingyan looked at Chu Zhan, "Chu Zhan, don’t you think there’s something very peculiar about Grandpa Chu’s fall this time?"
Chu Zhan froze, then his nerves tightened, his gaze dark like ink poured out.
"What do you mean? Did you discover something? Is someone trying to harm my grandfather?"
Nianyang asked crisply, "Brother Chu, do you trust me?"
"Of course I trust you. If it weren’t for you, my grandfather would be long dead. I might not trust my parents, but I’ll definitely trust you!" Chu Zhan replied without a second thought.
That’s right, he felt confident in this. Chu Zhan hadn’t spent much time with Nianyang, yet he irrationally trusted her.
Nianyang felt comforted, "Since Brother Chu trusts me, I’ll speak frankly now. I’m certain that Grandpa Chu’s fall this time wasn’t accidental, but someone intentionally set him up!"
Chu Zhan pressed his lips, "How do you know?"
"Remember last time when I treated Grandpa Chu, he took the medicine I prescribed and almost had a relapse? You were on a mission and away, but you must have heard about it afterwards."
"That time, it was because Aunt Dong didn’t prepare the medicine as I instructed. She claimed she forgot. I didn’t think much of it then.
But this time, Grandpa Chu had another accident. Coincidentally, Aunt Dong also returned from the countryside, and she’s always present when something happens!
And yesterday you all were inexplicably not at home, everything lined up. Once can be considered an accident, but this many times is deliberate harm."
After hearing Nianyang’s analysis, Chu Zhan fell into thought, puzzled, "Nianyang, I trust your analysis, but I don’t understand. Aunt Dong has been our family’s old caretaker, taking care of my grandfather for many years. Why would she suddenly begin harming my grandfather now? What benefit would she gain from killing him?"
"This question can only be understood once the final answer is revealed. And what I want to say now is, I suspect Aunt Dong is harming Grandpa Chu, and Chu Huan is also involved in this!"
After speaking, Nianyang felt nervous, afraid that Chu Zhan wouldn’t believe her, considering that no matter how unruly Chu Huan was, she was still Grandpa Chu’s granddaughter. What granddaughter would harm her own grandfather!
If Chu Zhan didn’t believe her, her situation would be awkward, fearing he’d think she was sabotaging their family relations.
But Chu Zhan clenched his hand forcefully, "So there’s her involvement too. If that’s the case, I find it not so surprising."
