"Hello."
A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone. Chen Jin paused and took the phone away from his ear, looking at the number in confusion.
This number definitely belongs to Qin Shao.
But why does it sound like a woman's voice?
Before he could respond, the voice on the other end spoke again, "Hi?"
Chen Jin clearly heard this time; it was indeed a woman's voice.
Why is a woman answering Qin Shao's phone?
Who is this woman?
It's late at night...
Could it be...
Filled with questions, he politely asked, "Hello, is Qin Shao there? Please have him take the call; I have an urgent matter that needs his attention."
Shu Ran was panting as she ran through the parking lot, explaining to the person on the phone, "I'm sorry, but it's like this: Qin Xian has a high fever and has fainted. He is currently receiving IV treatment at the hospital."
"What!" Chen Jin stood up abruptly, his expression serious as he anxiously asked, "Qin Shao has fainted?"
"Which hospital? Okay. I'll head over right away."
At eleven o'clock at night, the hospital building was so quiet that one could hear a person's breathing. Shu Ran walked lightly down the empty corridor.
The nurse had just adjusted the drip rate and looked up to see her entering through the door. She softly reminded, "His fever has gone down. But pneumonia patients are prone to recurrent fevers, so you need to keep a close eye on his temperature. Call me if anything happens."
Shu Ran nodded, "Okay, thank you."
The nurse lightly nodded her head and slowly pushed the sterile cart out.
That night.
The white curtains, blankets, and walls filled the room with a cold color scheme that made one feel desolate.
The other patients in the ward had already rested, and only one or two family members were dozing off beside the beds.
Shu Ran gently sat down on the chair next to the bed and took a deep breath.
Since evening, her heart had been hanging in mid-air, unable to settle down, fearing that he might have any mishap.
This fever came on suddenly without any warning, and even he could not withstand it.
The doctor said it was an illness triggered by excessive fatigue and exposure to cold.
Shu Ran felt guilty; she should have sensed something was wrong when he fell asleep as soon as he got into the car. Instead of being cautious, she rolled down the window and drove from the airport to the east of the city, letting him be exposed to the cold wind all the way.
She secretly blamed her carelessness for causing him unnecessary suffering.
Feeling downcast, she raised her eyes to gaze at Qin Xian, who lay quietly on the bed.
He was truly handsome.
Long eyelashes lightly covered his closed eyes, his nose was slender with a delicate, upturned tip, and his thin lips were gently pressed together, creating a strikingly beautiful appearance.
If only his pale complexion could be hidden.
...
The night was thick and dark.
Several black SUVs sped down the road at an astonishing pace.
In less than a moment, a screeching sound of brakes echoed in front of East City Hospital.
People inside the hospital turned to look, seeing a large group of men in black suits getting out of the cars, striding hurriedly into the hospital.
The man at the forefront was in his early twenties, his expression serious, exuding an air of stern indifference.
Everyone in the hospital stared at them in shock, no one daring to speak.
Even the security guards were intimidated by their presence and did not approach to stop them.
A group of people hurriedly took the elevator straight to the fourth floor.
As they exited the elevator, the sound of their heavy footsteps echoed through the empty corridor.
The drowsy nurse heard the noise and quickly opened her eyes to check the situation. Just as she was about to speak up to stop the commotion, she saw a large crowd of people approaching her, which startled her into silence.
However, the group passed by her and headed straight for Room 221.
Shu Ran leaned forward slightly, reaching out to touch Qin Xian's forehead to check his temperature.
Suddenly, the door to the ward was flung open from the outside, causing a stir.
She turned her head lightly and saw a large group of people in black standing at the entrance, their intense gazes fixed on her.
She froze for a few seconds, confused, but her hand resting on Qin Xian's forehead unconsciously began to withdraw.
At the forefront was Chen Jin, whose gaze slowly fell on Qin Xian lying in the bed. For a moment, he stood there in shock.
He hurriedly stepped forward, and Shu Ran quickly got up to give way.
Perhaps his anxious expression was too evident; Shu Ran couldn't help but reassure him, "His fever has subsided; he's just asleep. You don't need to worry too much."
Only then did he manage to calm himself down. He raised his head and looked around the environment; it turned out to be a six-person ward.
Their young master was actually squeezed into such a small room with five other people.
Chen Jin furrowed his brows tightly, feeling as if something was tugging at his heart, filled with immense pain. He turned toward the entrance and issued orders:
"Tell the director of this hospital to arrange a private room immediately and summon the best specialists to treat Qin Shao's illness. If anything happens to Qin Shao, they can expect to pay with their lives."
"Yes!"
"Have you notified Young Master Cao?"
"I have notified him. Young Master Cao is on his way."
He nodded slightly.
After handling these matters, he turned his head to glance at Shu Ran. A beautiful face that seemed familiar yet he couldn't recall, he asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"I am..." Shu Ran bit her lip, pondering for a moment before finally saying a few words, "I am a friend of Qin Xian."
Chen Jin looked skeptical.
From what he understood, Qin Shao had not shown interest in women since coming of age, let alone having any female friends around him.
Who exactly was this suddenly appearing friend of Qin Xian?
He harbored doubts in his heart but did not pursue the matter further; it was Qin Shao's private affair, and he could not interfere.
Shu Ran let out a sigh of relief.
"Jin Ge, Young Master Cao has arrived."
As soon as the words fell, Cao Yun hurriedly walked in, his expression unusually serious. "Where is Xian?"
Upon entering, he saw Qin Xian lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, asleep. His brow furrowed, and his tone turned cold. "What is going on here?"
The subordinates of the Qin Family exchanged glances, not understanding the situation.
Cao Yun glanced over, looking at Chen Jin with a commanding presence. Chen Jin stood respectfully to the side, silent and unaware of the situation.
At that moment, Shu Ran suddenly stepped forward and said softly, "I know."
Cao Yun turned to look, finally noticing a small figure standing nearby, and exclaimed in surprise, "Shu Ran? What are you doing here?"
Shu Ran lowered her head, her eyes flickering.
After a moment, she sighed and honestly admitted, "It's my fault."
Cao Yun looked at her with a somewhat confused and complex expression.
She kept her head down, her delicate face filled with disappointment, her hands twisting nervously in front of her.
As if she had made a decision, she endured her pale complexion and quietly recounted the events leading up to this moment.
"It’s my fault; I shouldn’t have brought him so far to eat."
"I let him endure the cold wind all the way here, which caused him to catch pneumonia. I’m very sorry. I apologize."
Her voice trembled slightly. A girl who was not good with words was cautiously admitting her mistake in front of such an imposing scene and their simmering anger.
