Ling Mofeng did not follow them. Although he really wanted to stay by Lan Yanxi"s side, it was related to the matters of the Lan Family and the family, so even though he and Lan Yanxi were engaged, they had not officially married. If he followed now, it would inevitably cause discontent with the Lan Family, so he waited in the resting room for news.
Upon entering the doctor"s office, Lan Yanxi asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is my grandfather?"
"The patient has a very serious heart problem, and his cirrhosis is very severe. Do you know about it?" the doctor asked, looking over their faces.
"I know, how is my father now? Do you want to be hospitalized? " Lan Chen immediately asked.
Lan Yanxi stood dumbly as if she had been whipped by a whip. Hearing the doctor"s words, she immediately felt the world spi
ing around her. How could her grandfather be so sick?
They only said that her grandfather had some minor ailments and that as long as she took the medicine on time, she would be able to recover. Lan Yanxi had believed it at that time and thought that the doctor"s words were definitely true. She wouldn"t joke about her grandfather"s illness.
Now it seemed that the doctors had lied to her, and her grandfather had kept it a secret.
"We can"t operate right now. The old man"s condition can"t take the risk of surgery. He can be hospitalized, but we might not be able to treat him further." The doctor pushed his gla.s.ses and spoke with a troubled expression. Saving someone was their duty, but not all illnesses could be cured. Sometimes, they were also very weak and moved.
Lan Yanxi felt her legs go weak and she almost lost her footing. She could only lean against the wall behind her.
Lan Bai asked, "Then how much time is left for my dad?"
"Half a year at most, or at least a month." The doctor spoke sadly.
When Lan Yanxi heard up to here, she had already covered her face and started crying bitterly.
Lan Chen turned around and looked at her. He tried to persuade her: "Yanxi, don"t cry anymore. Since Grandpa"s condition has reached this stage, we are also very sad. Think about it a little more."
Lan Yanxi could not believe it. She did not even dare to think about it as she turned around and ran out.
Lan Chen looked at Lan Bai: "Look at what you"ve done, dad is going to die from your anger."
"Stop pus.h.i.+ng the blame onto me. Don"t you have enough to anger him with?" Lan Bai retorted again.
After Lan Yanxi ran out, she saw Ling Mofeng waiting for her at the entrance of the lounge. She actually wanted to find a place to cry. Lan Yanxi"s tears were streaming down her face when she saw him, but she couldn"t move her legs.
When Ling Mofeng saw her teary appearance, his heart trembled. He had already guessed the result.
Old Master Lan was a strong person throughout his life. In the end, even his own illness was hidden from the people around him.
"Are you okay?" Ling Mofeng"s tall body slowly walked in front of her and gently asked her. Lan Yanxi bit her lower lip and shook her head vigorously.
"Come in and sit with me." Ling Mofeng felt his heart ache when he saw her trying so hard to resist. He gently grabbed her wrist and led her into the resting room.
"What did the doctor say?" the man asked gently.
"He said ?? He said that my grandfather can"t be cured, and that the remaining days are numbered? " Lan Yanxi choked with sobs, but she couldn"t say anything. She could only shed tears silently, causing Ling Mofeng to feel pain in his heart.
Ling Mofeng carried her in his arms and caressed her back lightly with his hands. His long hair comforted her sorrowful mood silently but firmly.
Leaning into his embrace, Lan Yanxi finally cried out loud. Like a helpless child, she started to cry without caring about her image at all.
Ling Mofeng cried for a while until there was a knock on the door. Then, he used a tissue to wipe away the tears on her face: "Maybe your grandpa woke up and wants to see you."
When Lan Yanxi heard this, she hastily stopped her grief and opened the door.
Chu Lie stood outside the door and said, "Miss Lan, your grandfather has been transferred to the ward, please come over."
Lan Yanxi nodded. "Thank you. I"ll be going now."
"Sir, the old man invites you along as well." Chu Lie said in a low voice when he saw Ling Mofeng standing at the back.
Ling Mofeng walked out and headed towards the ward with Lan Yanxi. Along the way, there were quite a few patients and medical staff who were very surprised to see Ling Mofeng here so late at night. However, even though Ling Mo Feng appeared to be very wealthy, he still had his personal matters to attend to. Other than peeking at him a few more times, no one dared to disturb him even if they found an opportunity to greet him.
When Ling Mofeng and Lan Yanxi walked to the door of the ward, Lan Chen and Wu Tie were standing outside and couldn"t enter.
Seeing Lan Yanxi and Ling Mofeng come over together, both of their expressions were a little stiff.
It had to be said that the two Lan Family brothers were very afraid of Ling Mofeng. Lan Yanxi was well-liked by the old man, and Ling Mofeng was his beloved grandson-in-law. If the old man gave all his wealth to Lan Yanxi, wouldn"t Lan Yanxi become the biggest shareholder in the company? Both of them would have to step down and work for her.
Ling Mofeng coldly swept his gaze over the two Lan Family brothers. When the two of them received Ling Mofeng"s cold gaze, they trembled and felt a fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Lan Yanxi pushed open the door to the ward and saw the old man lying on the bed. There were a few instruments beside him. He also had an oxygen tube in his nose and a bottle of liquid in his hand, but he was still conscious.
"Yanxi, Mo Feng, come here." The old tutor didn"t seem to be sad at all about his illness. He immediately waved his hand when he saw them.
"Grandfather, are you better?" Lan Yanxi couldn"t control her tears anymore. She walked quickly to the front of his bed and squatted down to ask in a low voice.
"Yanxi, don"t cry anymore. Life and death are a common occurrence. There"s no need to look at it that hard." Old Master Lan immediately smiled and comforted her.
"No, I don"t want it. I want Grandfather to always be by my side." Lan Yanxi shook her head like a willful child, tears streaming down her face.
Old Master Lan sighed: "Why would I not want to pay? But there are a lot of things that will depend on fate, no matter how close our relations.h.i.+p is, there will be a day where we will part. I am very consoled that before I leave, Grandfather will be able to find a man I can rely on for you."
Ling Mofeng stood at the side and took a step forward to comfort the old man, "Grandfather, please be at ease. I will take good care of Yanxi and thank you for your help. You must rest in peace. Yanxi and I are still waiting for you to recover and leave the hospital."
Old Master Lan was really satisfied with Ling Mofeng. He felt that he had a sense of propriety, order, and status, and treated his granddaughter well, able to point out the way forward for his foolish granddaughter. He didn"t want her to feel lost and helpless.
Mo Feng, can I trouble you to investigate Yanxi"s misunderstanding? Originally, I wanted to investigate it myself, but now that I"m like this, I"m afraid I"m powerless. The lordmaster still felt quite pained. It was the most sorrowful thing in the world for family members to fight each other.
"I will. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. I won"t let anyone misunderstand Yanxi. Please rest a.s.sured, Grandpa." Even without the old man"s help, Ling Mofeng would definitely investigate it thoroughly.
"Alright, then I"m relieved. Yanxi, grandpa wrote a will. In my lawyer"s hands, you have to prevent your two uncles from interfering. The one that belongs to you is a gift from grandpa, so you have to take it." Old Master Lan looked at Lan Yanxi warmly as a smile appeared in his murky eyes.
Lan Yanxi couldn"t laugh no matter what. She was so sad that she couldn"t even speak.
"Mo Feng, keep an eye on this for me. Don"t get into trouble." The old man knew that Lan Yanxi didn"t care about the Lan Family"s money, but what should belong to her, still belonged to her.
"Alright, Grandpa, don"t worry." Ling Mofeng answered with all his heart.
"Yanxi, you go back first. I"ll get someone to call Uncle Yu over, I still need to talk to your two uncles." The old man immediately said softly.
"Grandfather, let me take care of you. I don"t want to go back." Lan Yanxi couldn"t bear to leave at this moment, she felt that she had to stay here every second.
"Foolish child, of course grandfather knows what you are thinking, but you are not a child now, you can be considered as someone with a family now, so you should accompany Mo Feng back. Grandpa had the Uncle Yu come over, he can take care of me more easily, if there"s anything, I will call you." The old man understood what she meant, but he still decided to let her go. He didn"t want her to continue crying.
Even though Lan Yanxi didn"t want to, her grandfather"s words made sense. She was clumsy and couldn"t help, so she said, "I"ll come and see you tomorrow. Have a good rest."
When Lan Yanxi and Ling Mofeng left, the two brothers" expressions became nervous again.
