“I’ll see Miss Wen off…” Zhuge Jingming, now fully recovered and overjoyed, hadn’t expected Wen Xin to visit. He thought he would need a few more days to recover from the pain.

Wen Xin didn’t refuse or exchange pleasantries; she simply walked out of the treatment room with the two boxes of medicine.

Just as Wen Xin reached the door of the treatment room, she unexpectedly encountered someone she knew. She saw Ling Yichen assisting an elderly person into the room.

“Miss Wen…”

“Mr. Ling…” Wen Xin turned her head slightly to glance at the elderly person beside Yichen, her voice faintly inquiring, “Feeling unwell?”

Both of them were somewhat surprised to encounter each other here. Ling Yichen wasn’t aware that Zhuge Jingming knew Wen Xin, thinking that she had come for medical treatment.

“Do you know each other?” The elderly man standing beside him spoke with some excitement before Ling Yichen could say anything. This young girl was the one he had been looking for, and he hadn’t expected to encounter her here. “We do? She’s Mu Chengxi’s girlfriend…” Ling Yichen looked at his grandfather with some surprise. He didn’t know why his grandfather was so happy to see Wen Xin. Did they know each other?

“Oh, you’re the girlfriend of that rascal from the Mu family? No wonder the people I sent out to look for you were all stopped by that rascal. I was wondering when that rascal became so troublesome. So, it turns out that he was protecting his girlfriend. I understand!”

“Miss, my grandfather isn’t feeling well. Could you take his pulse?” Ling Yichen’s grandfather felt that his breathing hadn’t been smooth lately and suspected something was wrong with his health, so he often came to Zhuge Jingming’s clinic.

Zhuge Jingming had examined him and advised him to get X-rays at the hospital, but the old man was stubborn and refused to go, and the Ling family

couldn’t force him.

Originally, Zhuge Jingming didn’t want Wen Xin to get involved in this mess. He had already informed the Ling family about Old Mister Ling’s condition, and the Ling family unanimously agreed to respect the old man’s decision.

“Alright.”

Wen Xin glanced at Ling Yichen and didn’t refuse the old man. She handed the medicine boxes to Zhuge Jingming, and supported Ling Yichen’s grandfather into the treatment room together.

When Wen Xin took Old Master Ling’s, her expression was calm. It seemed that she had already guessed the old man’s condition upon seeing him, so she didn’t react much.

“Old Master Ling, do you want to live or maintain the current situation?”

As soon as Wen Xin spoke, everyone around was shocked. They hadn’t expected Wen Xin to be so straightforward.

“Wen…” Ling Yichen naturally knew Old Master Ling’s health condition, but they were all trying to hide it to minimize the old man’s pain.

“Ling Shao, when I treat patients, I want them to continue living. If you’re referring to maintaining the current situation, I can say that Elder Zhuge’s treatment has already done his best, and I can’t add anything more.”

“But if Old Master Ling wants to live on, I suggest he undergo surgery. You can have Nan Xu be the main surgeon.”

Wen Xin looked at Old Master Ling with clear and firm eyes, offering him two risky options.

If he maintained the current situation, he probably wouldn’t last another three months, succumbing to respiratory failure. If he opted for surgery, given his age, the risk was not insignificant.

Watching Wen Xin’s bright eyes, Old Master Ling admired her courage. He stroked his beard, laughing heartily.

He knew his health condition, but no one dared to tell him the truth, not even Zhuge Jingming.

Everyone kept it from him, thinking he didn’t know, but only this little girl dared to speak the truth.

“Miss, which option do you think I should choose?” Old Master Ling looked at Wen Xin with shrewd eyes, wanting to see how brave she really was, if she could speak without reservation.

“How to choose is your decision. You’re already experiencing episodes of respiratory arrest, sometimes lasting two or three minutes, sometimes even longer. It’s already very dangerous. If it happens late at night, you might not even have the chance to find medication.

After Wen Xin finished speaking, Ling Yichen looked at her in shock. He didn’t even know about this.

“Grandpa, let’s go for the surgery. The doctor Miss Wen just mentioned, I happen to know her. I can ask her to come and perform the surgery for you.”

“Miss, what’s the success rate of the surgery?” Old Master Ling was also

surprised by Wen Xin’s accurate assessment of his condition. Suddenly, he

wanted to continue living. Encountering such an interesting girl, he had to

protect her a little, right?

“I haven’t seen your scans, so I can’t be certain, but I can confirm that your cancer hasn’t spread. You just need to remove the tumor, so there’s no need to worry about metastasis. The sooner the surgery, the better.”

“Alright, Ling Yichen, arrange for the hospital. I want to live a few more years, to see this little girl get married to that little rascal.”

Old Master Ling stroked his beard, his face filled with satisfaction.

Ling Yichen looked at the loving gaze Old Master Ling directed at Wen Xin, somewhat puzzled. He was his grandson, so why did Old Master Ling want to see Wen Xin marry Mu Chengxi?

After seeing off Ling Yichen and Old Master Ling, Zhuge Jingming wiped the sweat off his forehead andsighed softly, ” Youngest Uncle, you’re a true hero.

You dare to say such things. If the old man can’t accept it, you might offend the Ling family.”

“He’s one of the founders of the Four Great Families. If he were that fragile, how could the Ling family be where it is today? His condition is really not good. Only surgery can solve it. Otherwise, it could tarnish the reputation of your clinic. I’ll leave now; I have other matters to attend to!”

After saying this, Wen Xin quickly left Zhuge Jingming’s clinic. Sitting in the taxi, she glanced at the time and felt that it was getting late.

When Wen Xin returned to Zhi Lan, she saw the woman who had deliberately caused trouble yesterday packing up her belongings. She glanced at her lightly and prepared to go upstairs.

“Hey, you’re quite resourceful. I just spoke to you yesterday, and I got kicked out by the landlord. You’re really something! ”

Listening to the woman’s words, Wen Xin stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and looked at her coldly, “That’s why I say, if you don’t have the strength, be low-key and don’t get yourself into trouble!”

With that, Wen Xin turned and went upstairs without looking back, leaving the angry woman stomping her feet where she stood.

Back at home, Wen Xin packed the pills into a box, packaged the Autumn Pear Paste made by Auntie Fu, and arranged for a courier to pick them up to send to Yang Jingyan at the sanatorium.

After everything was packed and the courier sent out, Mu Chengxi’s call came in, asking when she would arrive.

Feeling a bit apologetic, Wen Xin explained the situation, but Mu Chengxi didn’t get angry. Instead, he reassured Wen Xin not to worry and to take care of herself..
