When Xia Zhi mentioned her face, Xia Lin trembled. For some reason, her face started to hurt again.

Xia Zhi turned to look at Xia Long and asked him directly, “What are you trying to do by stopping me from taking Grandpa to the hospital?”

Xia Long subconsciously took two steps back when Xia Zhi’s cold gaze flew at him.

The next second, Xia Long came back to his senses. When he recalled his actions just now, his expression froze for two seconds. Xia Zhi was able to intimidate him?

However, now was not the time to dwell on this. He avoided Xia Zhi’s increasingly cold gaze and explained, “Of course I’m not stopping you. I just want to say that there’s a family doctor, right? He could just call Lin Wang to come over. There was no need to go to the hospital.”

Was Xia Long really that kind? Xia Zhi didn’t believe it.

Xia Lin still insisted on sending her grandfather to the hospital, but Xia Long refused to budge. Her face grew darker and darker. In the end, she raised her leg and kicked him to the ground.

“Daddy!” Xia Lin screamed, but she was afraid that Xia Zhi would kick her, so she didn’t dare to help Xia Long up.

Xia Zhi did not spare Xia Lin a second glance. She wheeled Wang Sheng out.

Just as Xia Zhi reached the entrance of the villa, she saw Chu Nan’s car pull up in front of her.

“Zhizhi, I’ll send you to the hospital.”

In the car, Xia Zhi looked at Wang Sheng, who was lying on the seat. She felt extremely regretful. She shouldn’t have agreed to see Xia Long and Xia Lin. That way, her grandfather wouldn’t have been driven up the wall.

Xia Zhi was still thinking about it when she suddenly felt a burst of warmth from Chu Nan’s hand. She lowered her head and looked at Chu Nan’s hand. He gently patted her hand and then comforted her, “Grandpa will be fine. I’ve already asked Chen Feng to call the top doctors in the country to the hospital. They’ll work on Grandpa.”

Xia Zhi felt a warm current flowing from her hand to her heart. She nodded and agreed, “Yes.”

When Xia Zhi checked her grandfather’s pulse, it was a little weak. However, he was otherwise in a relatively good shape, so with the doctor’s treatment, he would make a fast recovery.

Xia Zhi quickly calmed down. She then realized that she had overlooked something. She looked at Chu Nan in confusion and asked, “Didn’t you go to work? Why are you back?”

Chu Nan glanced at the trunk and replied, “There was a batch of antiques that had been left behind. I meant to send them to Grandpa.”

Xia Zhi nodded in understanding.

Xia Zhi slumped in her seat as she watched her grandfather being pushed into the operating room. Although she had been reassured after taking his pulse, she had a bad feeling, for some reason.

Chu Nan knew that Xia Zhi’s heart must be in turmoil, so he did not bother her. Instead, he stayed by her side and accompanied her in silence.

A few hours quickly passed.

When the red light in the operating room turned green, Xia Zhi stood up and quickly walked to the first doctor who showed up. “Is my grandfather alright?”

The doctor sighed and shook his head solemnly. “It’s not good news. I suggest that you gather the family and prepare yourselves.”

Xia Zhi was stunned. The results of the treatment were completely different from what she had diagnosed just now. She couldn’t believe it and said, “How is that possible?”

The doctor had expected her reaction. He explained, “The patient is old and has long-term heart disease, so it’s very likely that he won’t make it.”

Xia Zhi’s eyes were red as she stared blankly at the ceiling. If Chu Nan had not stabilized her, she would have fallen to the ground.

Chu Nan comforted her softly, “Zhizhi, you have to stay calm. Grandpa is still waiting for you. Moreover, things aren’t over yet.”

Chu Nan paused for a moment before continuing. “All the doctors said that my legs could not be saved, but you were the only one to make some progress. You will make something happen.”

After hearing Chu Nan’s words, Xia Zhi’s heart lit up with hope. She comforted herself softly, “That’s right, there must be a way, there must be a way!”

Chu Nan heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I’ll take care of Grandpa with you. You don’t have to be afraid.”

Xia Zhi raised her head and looked at Chu Nan in a daze. After a few seconds, her eyes flickered, and she looked away in a panic. She whispered, “Thank you, thank you.”

Chu Nan replied calmly, “It’s okay. We’re engaged now. It’s only natural that I do this.”
