“This might just be a good idea.”
We don’t have much of a choice in this. If Wen Qing were to team up with Chen Qing, they might even get Lin Xinyan involved in this despite her being pregnant. That’s just how ruthless they can be.
At that moment, the nurses brought Zhuang Zijin back into the ward and Shen Peichuan went over to help her out.
“How’s her condition?” Zong Jinghao asked the doctor.
“We’ve completed all the necessary checkups. Now, we need to wait for the results before we can come up with a treatment plan.” The doctor then seemed hesitant to continue in front of Zhuang Zijin and said. “Let’s talk outside.”
Zhuang Zijin kept quiet as she sat on the bed, well aware of her condition.
Zong Jinghao followed the doctor out of the ward. “Things aren’t looking well for her. There are some drugs that could help her live for a few more years if she has a strong will to survive. The treatment would take a long time, but it is the least damaging method available. However, if she… Well, she doesn’t seem very motivated, if you know what I mean.”
The doctor was more concerned about patients giving up on treatment than the illness itself.
“I understand. Thank you, doctor. I’ll leave her treatment to you.” Zong Jinghao said calmly. Zhuang Zijin has probably lost her will to live along with her grudge towards Lin Guoan after his death.
The doctor had been studying abroad for many years and majored in chronic diseases. He was incredibly capable despite his young age. “Just doing my job as a doctor. The Dea of the hospital has also requested that we do our best, so you may rest assured.” the doctor said while adjusting his glasses.
After a brief pause, he continued. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have other patients to attend to.”
Zong Jinghao nodded and stood in the corridor after the doctor had left. He felt uncomfortable with how Zhuang Zijin was taking it.
She had lost her son and gotten her revenge on Lin Guoan, but what about Lin Xinyan? As her daughter, Lin Xinyan had suffered a lot as well, but Zhuang Zijin only cares about herself! How could she be so selfish?
Zong Jinghao let out a deep sigh and headed back into the ward.
Zhuang Zijin’s eyes were sunken and had a dull look in them. Her skin was sallow and her body was skinny. She forced a smile when she saw Zong Jinghao come in. “Thank you, for not telling Yan about this.”
Zong Jinghao stared at her. “Do you even care about her?”
Zhuang Zijin paused for a moment as she didn’t expect him to say that. “Of course I do… She’s my daughter.”
Zong Jinghao was dissatisfied with her pessimistic attitude, but he didn’t want to disrespect her as she was still Lin Xinyan’s mother after all. “If you do, then cooperate with the doctor’s treatment so you can stay with her for a few more years.”
“She’s living just fine now…”
“She won’t be if her mother is dead.” Zong Jinghao interrupted her.
Zhuang Zijin was about to say something, but held her tongue in the end.
“For her sake, I hope that you’ll do your best to survive.” Zong Jinghao left the ward after saying that.
Shen Peichuan was able to guess what the doctor had told Zong Jinghao just by watching him leave. “He’s been really busy lately. Things are really hectic these days, so please don’t take what he said to heart. He is right about one thing though. You should give the treatment your full cooperation so you can spend a few more years with your daughter. I’m sure you feel the same way too, right?” He said in an attempt to comfort Zhuang Zijin.
Zhuang Zijin kept quiet.
I don’t really care if I live or die, as I’ve already avenged my son. Lin Xinyan may have suffered a lot, but she has Zong Jinghao to take good care of her now. I don’t have any more regrets in life…
“I’m tired now.”
Shen Peichuan knew that was her way of telling him to leave. Being an outsider, he wasn’t in a position to say much, so he quickly left the ward.
Besides, they had caretakers and nurses to look after Zhuang Zijin anyway.
Zong Jinghao headed over to the office after leaving the hospital. He got a call from Su Zhan after parking his car.
It was about the video of Lin Xinyan killing someone that went viral online. He told him that the situation was under control, and that the media that released the video have been called to account for it. As they had made accusations before the police confirmed anything, they would be sued for slander along with those who assaulted Lin Xinyan verbally in the comments.
“We’ll have the results by today.” Su Zhan said confidently.
“We must have them issue a public apology and statement.” Zong Jinghao said as he entered the lobby, feeling satisfied with the progress.
“Understood. The court session is about to begin, so I’ll hang up for now.” Su Zhan said.
Guan Jing came rushing over the moment Zong Jinghao hung up the phone.
“Wen Qing and Chen Qing are here.”
Zong Jinghao didn’t seem surprised in the slightest. Guan Jing followed him as he calmly made his way into the elevator. “They’re in the reception room. Would you like to meet them?”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Zong Jinghao said with a sinister grin on his face.
