Madam Lu was somewhat unhurried: “What’s the matter? You’re all flustered. Calm down and speak.”

But the servant didn’t dare to dawdle and quickly said, “The Old Madam had instructed before that if Young Master or Miss Qiao arrived, we must wake her up no matter what time it is. But we’ve been calling her for a while and she hasn’t responded. When we touched her chest, we found that her heartbeat was sometimes there and sometimes not, and her body was icy cold!”

Could it be that the old woman is dying?

Frowning, Madam Lu went outside just in time to see Lu Mingzhen in his bathrobe dashing out of the bathroom and into the Old Madam’s room.

She pursed her lips, trying to portray a worried look, and hurried up the stairs.

But as soon as she reached the first floor, she saw Lu Lingche carrying the Old Madam down from the third floor, with Lu Mingzhen following them with a solemn look on his face.

The father and son paid no attention to her and quickly went downstairs, carrying the Old Madam into the car before driving off at a high speed.

The feigned anxiety on Madam Lu’s face froze.

No one cared about her at all!

She gritted her teeth and stamped her foot. This damn old woman got sick at such a crucial time. This was delaying her plan for Lu Lingche to cure her!

In the car.

Lu Mingzhen couldn’t help but grip the Old Madam’s hand: “Lingche, the symptoms are the same as last time. I’m afraid it’s another cardiac arrest caused by palpitations.”

Lu Lingche’s hand was still over the Old Madam’s heart: “No good, the heartbeat is getting slower and slower. Yuanshan, drive faster!”

The assistant, his nerves stretched taut, immediately sped up. The speedometer was showing nearly 200 km/h, and he even ran red lights— nothing was more important than saving a life.

Luckily, there was hardly any traffic at night, which allowed him to drive so fast.

And luckily, they were close to Lan’s Hospital, and they got there in just five minutes. Even an ambulance would not have been this quick.

The emergency crew was already waiting outside. The moment they saw them arrive, they rushed up with equipment, administering oxygen while hurrying to the emergency room.

Once the emergency room door closed, Lu Mingzhen felt no relief at all. His voice was nearly gone from the short drive and his face was pale.

Lan’s Hospital was a top-tier private hospital with many renowned doctors, but Lu Mingzhen knew they wouldn’t be able to cure the Old Madam. After all, she had been treated here numerous times before without much improvement, and the doctors couldn’t even diagnose what ailed her.

The one who truly cured her was Qiao Yin’s grandmother.

“Lingche, contact Qiao Yin. Have her bring her grandmother here. Hurry!”

Lu Lingche was much calmer: “Her grandmother lives in a small town in the distant suburbs. It would take at least four hours for her to go and come back. That’s too slow!”

“So what do we do?”

“Send Grandma over there directly by helicopter.”

“Alright, you go make arrangements first, just in case. Perhaps the doctors here can save her.”

Lu Lingche didn’t have much hope for that, but he turned around to arrange for the helicopter, asking the pilot to come to the hospital.

Then he contacted Qiao Yin.

Hearing that the Old Madam had an accident, Qiao Yin immediately became anxious. Temporarily putting aside all her negative feelings towards Lu Lingche, she followed his instructions, called her grandmother to prepare, and took a cab to Lan’s Hospital.

By the time she arrived, the Old Madam was still receiving emergency treatment.

Lu Mingzhen, now changed into fresh clothes, glanced at her when she arrived. He nodded at her, his demeanor much more polite than before.

Qiao Yin understood that he was being polite for her grandmother’s sake.

She didn’t care how Lu Mingzhen felt about her; she was simply very worried about the Old Madam’s health.

She looked at Lu Lingche and asked softly, “Wasn’t everything fine before? Just a few days ago, Grandma went to visit me at Yan Xi Company, and she was still in good health. How did this happen so suddenly?”

Lu Lingche remained silent for a while before saying, “Probably because I upset her, causing her old illness to recur.”

On hearing this, even Lu Mingzhen couldn’t help looking at him: “So you do know what you did!”

Listening to him taking the blame, Qiao Yin didn’t feel any better.

She was responsible too.

For her sake, Grandma had fought with Madam Lu and moved back to the Lu Family house. She must have been holding in a lot of anger these past few days.

Being older, getting angry could easily lead to illness.

A moment later, the door of the emergency room opened and the primary doctor came out.

Lu Mingzhen stepped forward: “Director Hu, how is she?”

“Her heartbeat has stabilized for now, but it may be a case of a temporary revival. Given the Old Madam’s age, she can hold on at most for a day. You should…. prepare for the worst!”
