The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement - Chapter 242

242 Personally Investigating The Truth

“How could this be!” Butler Li glanced at Old Master Jing, who was not listening to the call, and ordered in a low voice, “Contact the nurses in the hospital and see if Miss He is still in the hospital or has left!”

As soon as he hung up, Old Master Jing glanced at him and said, “What’s the matter that made you so anxious?”

“Sir.” Butler Li swallowed his saliva. It was as if he had returned to the time when he was young and had been working hard with Master Jing. Back then, whenever he made a mistake and things got out of control, he would be so flustered.

“If you have something to say, then say it.” Old Master Jing put down his bowl and stared at him.

!!
Butler Li knew that he had to let Old Master Jing know about this. Otherwise, if something really happened to Miss He and he delayed, he would have to die to atone for his mistake.

Now that Jing Yan was in a coma and no one knew when he would wake up, the only person in the Jing family who could make decisions was the Old Master.

After a short hesitation, Butler Li chose to tell the truth, “Miss He is missing. The servant who was sent to deliver the food is contacting the hospital to find her.”

“Check the surveillance cameras! I want to know if Miaomiao left the hospital of her own accord or if someone took her away!” Old Master Jing could not help but worry.

He Miao had just been kidnapped. Although Jing Yan had already sent the criminal to the police station, there was no guarantee that there would be other crazy people out there who would try to harm her.

In a flash, countless bad thoughts flashed through Old Master Jing’s mind. The anxiety and worry made his heart throb in pain. He could not help but bend down and cover his chest, his face turning pale in an instant.

“Sir!” Butler Li was most afraid of such a situation. He hurriedly took out a pill and fed it to Old Master Jing. After that, he patted his back to help him catch his breath.

After taking the medicine, Old Master Jing finally woke up from the dizziness. He held Butler Li’s hand and said, “Don’t worry about me. Send more people to the hospital and find out where Miaomiao is as soon as possible!”

“Sir!” Without waiting for Butler Li to respond, the servant at the door suddenly barged in and said with a surprised look, “Miss, Miss He is back!”

Butler Li comforted Old Master Jing, who was about to stand up, and went out to greet her.

He Miao’s entire right hand was wrapped in bandages. In order not to be discovered by Old Master Jing, she had put on her coat, barely covering her arm. However, walking around like this would hurt her wound, but she could not care about that now.

She had a feeling that the doubts in her heart would be verified today.

Butler Li did not expect that she had gone missing from the hospital because she had returned to the Jing family house. After the shock, he felt a headache.

He Miao’s sudden return at this time must have been about Jing Yan. It seemed that nothing could be kept a secret today.

“Butler Li.” He Miao endured the excruciating pain and walked as fast as she could towards him. “I want to see Jing Yan immediately.”

Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, Butler Li quickly invited her into the house to prevent her from freezing. He smiled bitterly and tried to persuade her, “Young Master Jing only has a slight fever. Why did you come all the way here from the hospital? If his injuries worsen, he will not be able to rest in peace.”

He Miao stopped in his tracks and looked at Butler Li with an especially serious expression. “If I can’t see Jing Yan with my own eyes, I won’t be able to rest in the hospital.”

“Why do you do this?” Butler Li knew that whatever he said would be of no use now. He could only bring her to Old Master Jing so that he could be at ease.

The old man’s face was pale as she stood up with the help of the dining table. When he saw that He Miao had really arrived, his cloudy eyes finally brightened a little. When he saw the arm that she had deliberately covered, he smiled as if nothing had happened. “Miaomiao, you’re finally back. I thought Jing Yan made you angry and made you run back to your own home.”

He Miao shook her head and smiled. “Why would Jing Yan make me angry? I heard from Butler Li that he was sick, so I came to see him.”

Old Master Jing glanced at Butler Li, then smiled and took He Miao’s uninjured hand. “Jing Yan has just taken his medicine and is sleeping. Don’t make any noise when you go to see him. Let him sleep for a while, okay?”

“Alright,” she said. He Miao nodded in agreement and followed Old Master Jing upstairs. When she noticed the old man’s unusually stooped posture today, she snapped out of her strong desire for the truth and hurried to his side. She held his arm and asked with concern, “Grandpa, are you not feeling well today? Shall I send you back to your room to rest?”

Old Master Jing had always been upright despite his age. There must be something wrong with his body for him to bend over today.

Butler Li knew the truth, so he also advised from behind, “Yes, Old Master. You should go back to your room and have a good rest. I will accompany Miss He to visit Young Master Jing.”
