"What's happening with Doctor Chen?" Lin Guoli shouted. "Haitao hasn't taken over the Lin family yet, and the Old Madam can't possibly be in danger!"
"This..." Doctor Chen's face turned ashen. "I don't know why this is happening either!"
As soon as Doctor Chen finished speaking, the Old Madam spat out another mouthful of blood. Her pulse became even more chaotic, even losing its vital spark.
"No matter what, we must save the Old Madam!"
With a heavy expression, Lin Guoli said coldly, "If anything happens to the Old Madam, I doubt anyone can take responsibility!"
"Boss Lin, it's not that I don't want to treat her!" Doctor Chen said helplessly. "It's just that the Old Madam's condition has suddenly worsened, leaving me with no way to proceed!"
Lin Guoli's face was ashen, and he didn't know what to do. Even Doctor Chen's words were enough to illustrate the gravity of the situation.
"That young brother's prediction today has come true; he must have a way to cure the Old Madam!" Doctor Chen suddenly declared. "As long as we invite him here, we can surely save the Old Madam!"
"I'll go right now!" Lin Guoli said without a moment's hesitation.
The Old Madam's life and death concerned his descendants. Lin Guoli did not wish for the Old Madam to die tragically.
In the courtyard, Sect Leader Lin Aotian had finished his dinner. However, they were sitting in the courtyard, admiring the moon, appearing quite leisurely.
"Grandmother, we came out mainly to enjoy life. Why do you have to make yourself so tired?" Lin Ke said helplessly. "Besides, there are several nannies in this courtyard. If you really want something to eat, you can tell them."
"How can that be?" Granny Guihua shook her head. "My wife made osmanthus cakes for a lifetime, and her skills must be excellent. Although they are skillful, the osmanthus cakes they make are definitely not as good as mine!"
Lin Ke looked helpless, but he also knew that Granny Guihua couldn't sit still, so he didn't say much more.
In the backyard of the courtyard, Lin Aotian was enjoying the night, and at the same time, he looked at Lu Fan. "Do you need anything? I can fulfill any request you have."
"Do you still think you can control me?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "You are Lin Ke's father. I won't do anything to you. But if you want to get rid of me, it's probably impossible. I will always stay by Lin Ke's side!"
"You are sincere towards her, I can feel it," Lin Aotian said with a smile. "How about this? Come to work at my Lin Group, and I'll give you a manager position. How about a million a year?"
"You're really going all out to bring Lin Ke back to the Lin family, Boss Lin," Lu Fan smiled. "Unfortunately, I'm not interested."
Lin Aotian frowned slightly. He never expected Lu Fan to be like this, and he didn't hide his words at all.
However, just then, Lin Ke brought over a plate of osmanthus cakes. "This is a dessert personally made by Grandmother. We can't waste it!"
After speaking, Lin Ke served a few pieces and ate them herself, looking quite happy.
Seeing Lin Ke's happy smile, Lin Aotian was also a little pleased. After interacting for some time, he vaguely felt that Lin Ke was accepting him. It wouldn't be long before Lin Ke could return to his side, return to the entire Lin family.
A car sped back and stopped outside the courtyard. Lin Guoli rushed in, "Brother, Mom is dying!"
"What's going on!" Lin Aotian suddenly stood up, his expression changing slightly. "Mom was fine in the afternoon, wasn't she?"
"She was indeed fine in the afternoon!" Lin Guoli quickly said. "But I don't know why, Mom suddenly got worse!"
Lin Aotian was shocked and quickly walked outside, not daring to delay at all. If anything happened to the Old Madam, he, as her son, would not be able to escape responsibility.
Lin Guoli did not move. He grabbed Lin Aotian, "It's useless for you to go now. Even Doctor Chen couldn't do anything!"
"Do you want me to just sit and wait for death?" Lin Aotian said coldly. "That's our mother!"
"Doctor Chen said he can cure the Old Madam's illness!" Lin Guoli looked at Lu Fan. "As long as he makes a move, it will be foolproof. Otherwise, he wouldn't have predicted it so accurately!"
Lin Aotian was stunned at first, then looked at Lu Fan. "Little Brother Lu, do you really have a way to cure her?"
"If I'm not mistaken, when the Old Madam fainted, she vomited three times consecutively," Lu Fan said directly. "And her pulse is chaotic, showing signs of approaching death."
"Not a word is wrong!" Lin Guoli nodded. "Hurry up and come with me. If we're late, the Old Madam will lose her life!"
"When did I say I was going?" Lu Fan took a bite of the osmanthus cake. "No one believed me when I spoke out today. Now that this has happened, it seems to have nothing to do with me, right?"
"There is no one in this world that my Lin family cannot invite," Lin Guoli said coldly. "Are you going or not? If anything happens to the Old Madam, I will make you pay with your life!"
"This is simply a joke!" Lu Fan said coldly. "What does the Old Madam's life and death have to do with me? How dare you speak such nonsense!"
"My Lin family has always acted this way!" Lin Guoli's expression was indifferent, carrying a hint of threat.
"Today, I want to see what the Lin family can do to me while I sit here!" Lu Fan remained as still as a mountain.
Seeing this scene, Lin Guoli's face turned ashen. It was a critical moment, and every minute of delay would put the Old Madam in danger.
"No matter what, little brother is a guest of the Lin family," Lin Aotian said directly. "How can you be so rude!"
"I..." Lin Guoli felt a little wronged, but he couldn't say much more. If Lu Fan went, there might be a glimmer of hope. If he offended Lu Fan, it would be a big problem, especially at this time.
"Little brother, he just has this temper. Please don't take it to heart." Lin Aotian clasped his fists. "As the saying goes, look at the Buddha's face, not just the monk's. The Old Madam is not only the Old Madam of the Lin family but also Lin Ke's grandmother. You can't just watch her grandmother die, can you?"
"Forgive my bluntness, but the Lin family Old Madam doesn't particularly like Lin Ke," Lu Fan said with a smile. "Why should I help her?"
Lin Aotian's brows furrowed slightly. Lu Fan could even detect such a subtle point, which indeed indicated he was no ordinary person.
"As long as you can cure the Old Madam, I will give you a reward of one million!" Lin Guoli said repeatedly. "Hurry up and come with me to treat her."
"Is it just one million?" Lu Fan glanced dismissively. "Is the Lin family Old Madam only worth this much?"
Lin Guoli frowned. He quite disliked Lu Fan's attitude. If it weren't for his reliance on Lu Fan, he would never have shown him any pleasantries.
"Little brother, as long as you can cure the Old Madam, you can name your price," Lin Aotian clasped his fists. "The situation is critical now, please be magnanimous!"
