Leng Xuan, Li Mengjie, and Uncle Liu rushed to Ling Tian’s bedroom, only to find Ling Xuejiu in tears, sitting by the bed, clutching Grandpa Ling’s hand, sobbing and saying, "Grandpa, sob, sob, what’s happened to you... please wake up, Grandpa..."
Apart from Ling Xuejiu, there was a middle-aged woman in the room, who would comfort Ling Xuejiu from time to time. This middle-aged woman was He Mei, whom Uncle Liu had mentioned over the phone, Ling Xuejiu’s childhood nanny, who normally took care of the Old Master’s daily needs.
As soon as she entered the room, Li Mengjie politely called out to He Mei, "Auntie He," before asking with tearful eyes, "What exactly happened to Grandpa Ling?"
"Miss Xiao Jie is here, too!" The middle-aged woman’s eyes were also red as she replied, "I’m not sure what’s wrong with the Old Master either. It could be another heart attack, I guess. Sigh, he refuses to be taken to the hospital... How, how should we deal with this!"
Uncle Liu looked distressed as he said, "Miss, now that you’re here, and the Old Master is like this, I... I really can’t make up my mind. What do you think we should do..."
Ling Xuejiu wiped away her tears; though she knew there must be a reason why her grandpa refused hospital treatment, what other option was there besides the hospital at this moment?
Just as she was about to defy her grandpa’s instructions and suggest taking him to the hospital, she suddenly heard Leng Xuan say unexpectedly, "Let me have a look at the Old Master’s condition. Could everyone please step out for a moment?" As he spoke, he moved towards the bed, intending to help Ling Tian sit up...
"What are you doing?" Ling Xuejiu exploded in anger, pushing Leng Xuan away and yelling, "At a time like this, do you think you’re a doctor? Your presence annoys me; just get out..."
Leng Xuan was taken aback and unconsciously touched his nose, feeling quite frustrated. He was fairly certain that Old Master Ling’s condition wasn’t a heart attack. Since the old man didn’t want to go to the hospital, there must be a reason for it, and with his knowledge of the Cultivation Technique, he might use True Qi to internally examine the old man and perhaps even figure out the cause.
Now, however, Ling Xuejiu was acting like a firecracker, angrily telling him to get out. Despite his patience, Leng Xuan couldn’t help but feel somewhat angry. But he didn’t lose his temper since the Old Master’s illness was more pressing. He turned to Uncle Liu with a pleading look.
Uncle Liu was in turmoil; after all, the Old Master’s instructions about not going to the hospital were still fresh in his mind. Seeing Leng Xuan’s confidence, something inside him stirred. Maybe it was a kind of trust in Leng Xuan or perhaps Leng Xuan’s confidence that moved him. He finally said, "Ahem, Miss, in my opinion, why don’t we let Mr. Leng have a look at the Old Master? I don’t think Mr. Leng is the kind of man to be arrogant or conceited. Since he’s offered to help, perhaps he really does have some unique skills that we don’t know about."
"Yeah, Xue Jiu, let’s just let Leng Xuan have a look at Grandpa Ling!" Li Mengjie stuck out her tongue slightly as she also spoke up for Leng Xuan. Her heart felt uneasy seeing his dejected look. To her, Leng Xuan wasn’t one to meddle where he wasn’t needed. Now that it involved Grandpa Ling’s life, he certainly wouldn’t act rashly. Maybe Leng Xuan did have a solution; at least in her eyes, Leng Xuan wouldn’t harm Grandpa Ling, so what harm could looking at him do?
