“Yep! Probably.” Zhou Chao handed the phone to Jiang Li.

Seeing the words “Oncology Department” on the message, Jiang Li’s heart skipped a beat. She knew that in this department, there were only two possibilities: walking out or being carried out.

“Ah Li, I’ll go to the hospital and see what’s going on.”

Jiang Li stood up from the sofa. “I’ll go with you.”

Seeing Jiang Li’s earnest expression, Zhou Chao smiled and ruffled her hair. “Stay at home and wait for me. The hospital is crowded.”

“Okay, call me if you need anything!”

Zhou Chao nodded and left with his phone.

Down in the garage, Xiao Yang was leisurely sitting in the driver’s seat, smoking and scrolling through a social media app, while the sexy lady was dancing the “Ace of Spades”!

With a bang, Xiao Yang trembled all over, dropping his phone to the ground.

urning around, he found Zhou Chao sitting in the back and hastily threw away his cigarette, nervously calling out, “Boss.”

“Where are the others?”

“Boss, I’ve arranged for them to go back to the hotel.” Xiao Yang said nervously.

“Okay, to the First Hospital of Fuzhou.” Zhou Chao said, closing his eyes to rest. “Yes, Boss!”

Xiao Yang quickly turned the car around and drove to the hospital as instructed.

Zhou Chao’s residence was not far from the hospital. It took about ten minutes to get there, and after about ten minutes of waiting, they finally entered the hospital’s outdoor parking lot.

After parking the car, Zhou Chao bought some fruit baskets and followed the signs to the hospital.

After a few twists and turns, they finally arrived at the Oncology Department after getting lost twice.

With a faint smile on his face, Zhou Chao walked up to the nurse’s station and asked, “Hello, nurse, can you tell me which ward Li Xuemci is in?”

“Li Xuemei? She’s in room 808. Follow me, I’ll show you the way.” The nurse’s eyes squinted slightly as she glanced at Zhou Chao, perhaps due to his striking appearance.

“Thank you!”

The young nurse walked over to Zhou Chao and asked him some questions while they walked, but Zhou Chao easily brushed them off.

“Nurse, I want to know what’s wrong with Li Xuemei.”

“Huh? Don’t you know? She has early-stage breast cancer. If it can be treated in time, there is still hope for a cure, but unfortunately…” The nurse shook her head helplessly.

“What’s unfortunate? What happened?”

Looking around, the nurse whispered, “I’ll tell you, but you can’t tell anyone else.”

“Don’t worry, I promise.”

“Li Xuemei’s family is not wealthy. Her child just entered college this year and relies entirely on her husband’s income. I heard that she also privately sponsored many children from remote areas to go to school. She has been in the hospital for a month now. Originally, they wanted to go to Huaxi Hospital in Rongcheng, but… poverty is sometimes also a disease!”

Hearing this, Zhou Chao furrowed his brows and asked softly, “Didn’t the leaders from the school come to visit?”

“They did come, and quite a few of them. The school also donated a lot of money, but it’s just a drop in the bucket. If it’s not resolved quickly, it might progress to the middle stage.”

The two of them arrived at room 808 while they were talking.

“Handsome, please don’t tell anyone else, or I’ll be in big trouble!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t. Thank you for your help. You can go back to your work now.” Zhou Chao said with a faint smile.

The nurse glanced at Zhou Chao a few more times before reluctantly walking back to the nurse’s station.

Zhou Chao looked through the small window on the door and saw inside the room. It was a small independent ward, about ten square meters in size, with a bed, a table, three stools, and several medical devices.

He could vaguely see someone lying on the bed.

Taking a deep breath to calm his frustration, Zhou Chao pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered, a weary voice came from behind, “Hello, who are you?”

Zhou Chao quickly turned around and saw a stout man standing at the door, barely reaching 1.75 meters tall, holding a teapot in his hand. He wore black-framed glasses, his eyes bloodshot, and his slightly long hair looked oily, indicating he hadn’t washed it for days.

“Hello, I’m a former student of Li Xuemei, here to visit her in the hospital.”

The stout man rubbed his eyes and forced a smile. “Thank you for your concern. I’m Li Xuemei’s husband, Du Qiang!”

Before he could finish speaking, Li Xuemei’s voice came from the bed, “Lao Du, who are you talking to?”

“Xuemei, your students arc here to see you.” Du Qiang rubbed his face, put on a smile, and quickly walked to the bedside.

“My students? Who?” Li Xuemei struggled to sit up from the bed.

Seeing this, Du Qiang quickly put down the teapot and took two pillows to support Li Xuemei’s back.

A faint smile appeared on Zhou Chao’s face as he walked over quickly. “Teacher, long time no see!”

Xiao Yang, the bodyguard behind him, quickly placed the two fruit baskets he was holding on the bedside table and then voluntarily left the ward.

Li Xuemei looked at Zhou Chao with some confusion. After carefully examining him for a few moments, she still couldn’t recognize him and couldn’t help but ask, “Who are you?”

Zhou Chao also realized that he had changed a lot, plus it had been many years since they last met, so it was normal for her not to recognize him..
