Shi Nuan’s eyes fluttered slightly, unsure of why Yu Dou was calling at this ti.
anwhile, on Song Yansheng’s end, he had already picked up the phone, and his face darkened.
Apparently, what Song Qingyang said over the phone wasn’t good news.
Song Yansheng responded lightly, saying, "Okay, I understand..."
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
Shi Nuan didn’t expect Song Yansheng to finish so quickly, while her own phone was still ringing.
Seeing that it was about to hang up, Shi Nuan hurriedly pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
"Nuannuan, co to City First Hospital, your father has been hospitalized!"
"..."
...
On the way to the hospital, Shi Nuan was anxious.
Even though Shi Yuanbo had failed her mother and wasn’t much of a qualified father to her.
But he truly was one of the closest people to her in this world, and hearing he suddenly collapsed and was hospitalized, Shi Nuan couldn’t remain calm.
Yu Dou ntioned on the phone that Shi Yuanbo attended a luncheon, drank a few more glasses of wine, and went to the study to attend to business after returning ho.
As it was the weekend, Li Guirong and Shi Jiaojiao were not at ho, and the servant only ca in at intervals to serve tea.
About half an hour later, when the servant went to the study with tea, they found Shi Yuanbo collapsed unconscious next to the bookshelf.
Yu Dou said, "Your father’s health has been poor these past few years, otherwise he wouldn’t have entrusted the company to to manage. Although he is out of danger now, I think you should co to see him!"
When Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng arrived at the hospital, they found only Yu Dou with Shi Tianchao at the door of Shi Yuanbo’s hospital room.
Shi Nuan was montarily stunned and asked, "Where are they?"
By "they," she of course ant Li Guirong and Shi Jiaojiao.
Yu Dou glanced at Song Yansheng standing behind Shi Nuan and said, "For now... unable to contact them!"
Shi Nuan’s brows furrowed imdiately, and then she let out a cold laugh, stepping towards the door of the hospital room.
As she twisted the doorknob, a pain struck Shi Nuan’s heart.
When she was eleven, she heard about her mother’s car accident and visited her in the hospital; it was the sa scene.
The past felt like a sharp knife, etching clear marks on her heart; even after all these years, the blood was still so red, the pain still so palpable.
She took a deep breath, stepping in.
The hospital’s VIP ward was spacious and comfortable, yet it still pressed down with a sense of oppression.
Especially the distinctive sll of disinfectant perating through the air, making one feel suffocated and heavy.
Shi Yuanbo lay on the bed, as if asleep, looking so frail, so old.
This was the first ti Shi Nuan had ever seen the word "old" on her father.
Yet upon reflection, both she and Shi Jiaojiao had grown up, and even the once-crying Shi Tianchao was ten now; how could her father not be old?
But it also clearly told Shi Nuan one fact.
It had been ten years since her mother passed away.
When her mother was seriously injured in a car accident and hospitalized, Shi Nuan saw her then just like Shi Yuanbo now.
So quietly lying on the bed, as if asleep.
The doctor said her mother was out of danger and would slowly get better in the future.
Shi Nuan waited with hope for her mother to recover.
But what she ultimately waited for was the news of her mother’s passing.
For her, at only eleven years old, it was too cruel, truly too cruel.
She called for her mother over and over, but her mother never responded. Regarding their past, her mother chose eternal silence.
At this mont, looking at her father on the bed, Shi Nuan’s eyes suddenly felt a bit sore.
