Careless Kinship
Not long to live?
He Shaochen's expression loosened for a moment when he heard this.
Ling Yu immediately became anxious and explained on behalf of He Shaochen, "But He Shao's symptoms are frequent. If he doesn't take medicine, he won't be able to withstand it. What should we do?"
If he didn't take the medicine, he would die. If he took the medicine, he wouldn't live long either. What should he do?
The attending doctor was also in a dilemma. The two doses of medicine had greatly damaged He Shaochen's body. The cold illness was like a time bomb that could kill people at any time.
He anxiously rubbed his temples and sighed, "Our medical team is currently developing more effective drugs. However, these things can only treat the symptoms and not the root."
"Can't it be eradicated?" Ling Yu hurriedly asked. He lowered his head to look at He Shaochen and found that the other party was absent-minded, as if his mind was not on this matter.
Ling Yu suddenly thought of a saying, 'The eunuch is more worried than the emperor.'
It was simply in line with his current mental state.
The attending doctor shook his head and sighed, "With the current medical standards, it's not realistic to cure it. We can only use medicine to control it."
Originally, there had been a lot of progress. As long as she recuperated well, it was guaranteed that the frequency of the cold disease recurrence would be reduced. But who knew that because of the two prescriptions, everything was ruined.
Perhaps, this was the will of the heavens.
Just as Ling Yu and the attending doctor were getting anxious, He Shaochen spoke up. "Since it can't be eradicated, then speed up the research and development process. Don't worry about the funding."
His expression was calm, as if he wasn't the main character of the conversation. But the more he was like this, the more uncomfortable it made people feel. How strong must one's self-control be to be able to accept life and death?
The attending doctor nodded helplessly. This was the only way.
He looked at He Shaochen meaningfully and said seriously, "He Shao, these words shouldn't be said by me. However, this old man loves to nag. I hope you don't mind."
He Shaochen glanced at him and heard the doctor say, "You are the pillar of He Clan. If you fall, many people will be affected. So, please take care of your body. Even if it's not for those people, it should be for yourself."
"I have never meant to give up treatment." He Shaochen looked deeply at the doctor and the corner of his lips curled. He Shaochen said faintly, "Let's end this matter here. I have something to do, I'll leave first."
Ling Yu was stunned and quickly followed. When he reached the door, he bowed to the doctor and got ready to leave.
The attending doctor's voice was heard. "Secretary Ling, remember. You must keep a good eye on Young Master He, especially when his illness acts up. You must have someone by his side."
Ling Yu stopped in his tracks and glanced at the attending doctor with a puzzled expression.
He saw that the doctor's face had never been so serious before. "Every time the cold illness recurs, it's equivalent to breaking through the gates of hell. He can survive this time, but it's not certain if he can survive the next time."
Ling Yu's eyes suddenly widened. He looked at the doctor in shock, then turned his head to look at He Shaochen who was gradually walking away. A complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Finally, he bowed again to the doctor and said seriously, "Thank you for your reminder. I will pay attention."
After saying that, he chased after He Shaochen.
After they left, the doctor couldn't help but sigh. He looked at the report deeply again. Many of the indicators in it were beyond the normal value. If this continued, it would really be a big problem.
"How worrying." The doctor sighed, then walked to the bathroom. He sprinkled the report with alcohol and lit it.
After watching the report turn into ashes bit by bit, he washed it away with water and completely destroyed the data.
The person in charge of He Clan must be perfect. A disease like the cold illness must not be known to outsiders. If someone with ulterior motives found out, there would be big trouble.
— —
In the car, Ling Yu held the steering wheel and kept thinking about what the doctor had said just now. Every time the cold illness recurred, it was like breaking through the gates of hell?
He could survive this time, but he might not be able to survive the next time.
His gaze inadvertently drifted to He Shaochen's calm side profile and he fell into deep thought.
"If you have something to say, say it."
He Shaochen's voice suddenly sounded.
Ling Yu was stunned and looked at He Shaochen in shock.
He saw the other party turn his head and look at him indifferently, waiting for his answer. He Shaochen wasn't stupid. Someone had been staring at him with a very hot gaze. It was hard not to know.
Ling Yu was embarrassed for a moment. He laughed dryly and planned to perfunctorily, but under He Shaochen's cold gaze, he still gave in. He sighed and asked worriedly, "He Shaochen, are you really not going to tell Young Madam about this?"
If Young Madam was here, He Shaochen might not have to work so hard.
"Why tell her?" He Shaochen continued to look at the scenery outside the car. His tone was indifferent and a little careless.
Even if one more person knew about this, it wouldn't change anything. Besides, what Qiao Qiao needed the most now was to calm down and recuperate. Telling her would only disturb her peace.
Other than that, there was no point.
Ling Yu hesitated and said, "But He Shaochen, this matter can't be hidden from Young Madam forever, right? If she knows that your illness has become so serious … "
"If she knows about this, I think you can take the blame and resign." He Shaochen's cold voice echoed in the car. The originally stuffy air suddenly dropped a few degrees.
Ling Yu couldn't help but shiver. He lowered his head and said, "I understand."
Obviously, He Shaochen didn't want him to mention this matter. If he bumped into the muzzle of the gun again, who knew if he would really pack up and leave.
At the thought of this, Ling Yu felt a little sad. He turned his head and looked forward. He returned to his usual rigid and serious appearance and said, "He Shaochen, where are you going now?"
"Back to Family He."
"Hey, aren't you going to see Young Madam?" Ling Yu didn't understand. Qiao Qiao was still in the hospital. If he was going back to Family He's main residence, did that mean he wasn't going to pick her up?
He Shaochen propped his head up and looked out the window. He answered absentmindedly, "Yeah, I have something to do today. I'll go back first."
He was a little concerned about the fact that three powers were eyeing Qiao Qiao. He knew that one of them was Father He's people, but why did he send people to watch his daughter-in-law?
Moreover, Father He's attitude towards Qiao Qiao was very kind from the start. He didn't think that Father He was a kind father who would accept them so easily. There was definitely something strange going on.
Perhaps he knew about Qiao Qiao's background. After so long, it was time for him to confront his father.
"Oh right, bring Qiao Qiao's family over tomorrow," He Shaochen instructed.
He was very busy with work every day, so he didn't have much time to accompany Qiao Qiao. It would be better to have her family by her side.
Ling Yu paused and turned around to ask, "He Shao, is he going to pick up the Qiao family or the Xu family?"
Now, with Qiao Qiao's identity, should she be considered the daughter of the Qiao family or the Xu family? Or should he invite the parents of both sides?
He Shaochen lowered his head and thought for a moment. He then raised his head and asked, "Which family do you think is better?"
Why did he throw the question at him again?
Ling Yu was embarrassed, but he still weighed the pros and cons seriously.
Now, Mother He saw the Qiao family as a thorn in her side. She couldn't even bear to breathe the same air. If he brought the Qiao family over, they would definitely get into a fight. So, he passed.
As for the Xu family, they were indeed a good family. Whether it was their personality or the way they dealt with people, they were all first-class. Moreover, the other party's status was obvious. At least Mother He wouldn't provoke them recklessly. So, after weighing the pros and cons, Ling Yu said seriously, "I think we should go with the Xu family in B City. They are very nice people and should know how to take care of people."
Unexpectedly, He Shaochen narrowed his eyes after hearing this. After pondering for a while, he casually said, "Okay, I'll choose the Qiao family."
Ling Yu, "..."
He Shaochen didn't care about Ling Yu's twitching face. He leaned against the window and continued to daydream.
In fact, Ling Yu's analysis was very reasonable. However, he missed out on the most important factor, and that was Xu Anting.
Although He Shaochen said that he trusted Qiao Qiao, no one would be willing to put a man who 'had ulterior motives' by his wife's side.
If the Xu family came over, it would mean that Xu Anting, who was originally in A City, would have a reason to visit. Just thinking about the image of Qiao Qiao and Xu Anting together was enough to make Ling Yu feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, compared to this' half 'love rival, the more powerful Qiao family was more reassuring.
Ling Yu's mistake was that he couldn't see through He Shaochen's thoughts. It was said that a woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea. In fact, this sentence could be applied to men as well.
When they returned to the villa, He Shaochen went directly to Father He's study.
Of course, there was no one inside.
In fact, ever since the New Year, Father He rarely came home. It seemed that compared to here, the warmth and tenderness of the outside world seemed to make him feel more relaxed.
He sat in the chair that Father He usually sat in. His gaze subconsciously fell on a photo frame placed on the desk. There was a family photo inlaid in it. He, Linlang, Father He, and Mother He were all in it. The family was happy and harmonious.
It looked like a very happy family. Unfortunately, the photo frame was covered with a layer of dust. It was obvious that the other party hadn't used this house for a long time.
The family photo was still there, but it was a pity that the relationship between the people had undergone a drastic change.
This kind of careless familial love was really ironic.
He Shaochen sneered. Then, he was about to put the photo album back. However, before he could raise his hand, his expression changed. The strength in his hand loosened, and the photo frame fell to the ground with a 'pa' sound.
Without warning, his whole body was enveloped by a bone-piercing chill. The feeling that even his soul was about to be frozen was almost suffocating. The pain made He Shaochen's usually calm face contort.
The pain spread throughout his body.
