Chapter 717: Truth

After sending Su Tong away, Ning Zhe asked Ning Chun, “What’s going on?”

Ning Chun lowered his gaze and quickly replied, “The doctor said you fell ill from over-exhaustion.”

Ning Zhe’s expression turned frosty as he said, “Ning Chun, when you were ten years old, I picked you up and raised you like my son. I trust you far more than I trust Ning Dong and Ning Xia. You should know that.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Chun fell to his knees immediately.

Ning Zhe knew things were not that simple. He struggled to sit up.

Upon seeing this, Ning Chun quickly adjusted the bed and placed a pillow behind Ning Zhe.

Ning Zhe asked calmly, “Tell me. What happened?”

Ning Chun said in a small voice, “It’s true that Madam found you lying on the floor unconscious. She did not call the doctor immediately and asked someone to carry you to the room instead. When I returned, the family doctor was there. After speaking to the doctor, I called the ambulance immediately. Madam said she called the ambulance as well, but it never came. Instead, the family doctor arrived first.”

“The family doctor said that your condition isn’t very good so he asked me to send you to the hospital immediately. In the end, I didn’t wait for the ambulance and drove you here. Madam and the doctor came with me as well,” Ning Chun explained calmly as he lowered his gaze. He tried his best not to mix his personal feelings with his explanation. He would be as objective as possible and let Ning Zhe decide on his own.

Ning Zhe scoffed coldly. “Go and check the phone records at home for me. I want to see if she really did call the ambulance. Investigate her relationship with the doctor as well. If there’s a problem, don’t say anything. Look for any mistakes on his part, and let him rot in prison.”

“Understood,” Ning Chun replied.

“What did the doctor here say?” Ning Zhe asked. What he cared about most was his health now. Apart from his body, what else did he have?

Ning Chun said, “I’ve already arranged for a full examination…”

Ning Chun trailed off.

Upon seeing the hesitant expression on Ning Chun’s face, Ning Zhe knew Ning Chun must have some opinion so he said, “Speak.”

Ning Chun had always been very measured, and he never did anything that crossed the line. He hesitated for a moment before he said, “Should I ask for Eldest Young Miss to have a look at you?”

“Why?” Ning Zhe was briefly stunned by the suggestion.

“Traditional Chinese medicine has its benefits just like Western medicine. If you’ve overworked yourself, perhaps, we can nourish your body with traditional Chinese medicine. What do you think?”

Ning Zhe thought about it for a moment before he nodded. “You have a point.”

Inwardly, Ning Zhe thought that he could not let go of any opportunity to interact with his daughter.

After a moment, Ning Zhe said, “However, Ning Xia might not be willing to see me.”

“Master, I’ll go and plead with Young Miss. Doctors are kind. She won’t refuse me,” Ning Chun said, sighing in relief inwardly. As long as Ning Zhe did not object to this, everything would be fine.

Ning Zhe nodded slightly. “If she refuses…”

Ning Chun did not wait for Ning Zhe to finish speaking before he said, “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure she understands that I took the initiative to approach her, and it has nothing to do with you. I’ll emphasize that you actually didn’t want to trouble her.”

Ning Zhe was extremely satisfied upon hearing this. He said, “Ning Chun, the best thing I’ve done in my life is to bring you home. You’re the only person I can trust now. Don’t worry. I won’t mistreat you.”

Ning Chun quickly said, “Master, don’t say that. My life is yours. I don’t think I’d be able to repay your favor to me even in the next life.”

Ning Zhe nodded. Only those who knew gratitude were worthy of his trust.
