Fang Yuan glanced at the assortment of desserts inside the bag, preparing to voice her thoughts, when Bo Yi pulled out a bottle of milk, inserted a straw, and brought it to her lips.

“I’m not hungry,” Fang Yuan started to say.

“Come on, just have a little,” Bo Yi insisted, extending the milk to her once again.

Reluctantly, Fang Yuan accepted it and took a few sips. The milk was pure and refreshing, with a subtle sweetness that caught her off guard.

….

At Renyi Hospital.

“Doctor Chen, why not?” Song Ling sought out Yang Chen, inquiring about the possibility of a transfer. Yang Chen’s expression darkened.

“Old Madame Fang is better off staying here,” Yang Chen replied with gravity.

“Isn’t there a better hospital available?” Fang Liguo couldn’t help but interject.

Chen Yang responded with displeasure, “Benevolence Hospital is the finest in Jing City.”

“Yes, we understand the hospital’s reputation for benevolence and righteousness, but…”

Before Fang Liguo could finish his sentence, Song Ling interrupted. “Doctor Chen, we have no other choice. If Old Madame Fang remains here, someone will continue to bother her, and it will hinder her recovery…”

Chen Yang shot her a cold glare. Was she referring to Fang Xiaoyuan? What an ungrateful family!

Fang Xiaoyuan had done so much for the Fang Family, yet what had they done for Old Madame Fang in return?

Chen Yang’s eyes turned icy. “If you genuinely cared about Old Madame Fang, the nurse would have contacted you at 9 a.m. Why are you only here now?”

“We’ve been busy…” Song Ling tried to explain, but the truth was, she had been taken away by some ladies for SAP, and Fang Liguo had been playing golf with several CEOs.

When they returned home that night, the housekeepers promptly served the dishes on the table, and they eagerly rushed over to eat.

“Don’t you even care about your elders?” Yang Chen questioned.

Fang Liguo and Song Ling felt deeply embarrassed by Chen Yang’s words.

“I can proceed with the transfer procedures, but let me be honest with you—the equipment and doctors at other hospitals are not as exceptional as those at Benevolence Hospital. Old Madame Fang has about a week left to live, so prepare yourselves,” Chen Yang revealed.

Fang Liguo’s expression changed upon hearing this. “Doctor Chen, do you have any alternative solution to ensure Old Madame Fang’s well-being?”

Chen Yang replied, “Yes.”

Fang Liguo’s eyes lit up. “Doctor Chen, I’m listening.”

“There is only one medication that can save Old Madame Fang’s life…”

“Can you tell me the name? I’ll jot it down,” Fang Liguo said, retrieving a notebook and preparing to write.

Chen Yang continued, “They can only be found on the black market, and each pill costs 10 million yuan. You’ll need to take two pills per month, and after three months of consistent use, you can proceed with the surgery.”

Fang Liguo and Song Ling were taken aback. How much? 10 million yuan for a single pill? That meant spending 60 million yuan over three months. What kind of medicine was it? How could it be so exorbitant?

Chen Yang explained, “It’s an exceedingly rare herbal remedy—extremely hard to come by.”

Fang Liguo closed the notebook and put away the pen. “In that case, we won’t transfer to another hospital, Doctor Chen…” They would keep Old Madame Fang alive because her 30% stake in the company was worth 300 million yuan. Spending 60 million yuan on pills wasn’t worth it. Furthermore, Old Madame Fang was overly biased. If she were to become senile and pass on the shares to Fang Yuan…

They needed to have Old Madame Fang draft a will before she passed away, leaving all the shares to Jiayi. Fang Yuan had previously helped the Fang Family overcome difficulties because Madame Fang held 30% of the shares in the business. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have cared about the Fang Family’s well-being. But the Fang Family remained oblivious to this fact. They believed their business acumen was the sole reason for their wealth, making them the richest family.

Fang Liguo retrieved the bank card he had wanted to give to Fang Yuan, but he discreetly slipped it into the medical record right in front of Chen Yang.

Observing his actions, Chen Yang expressed disdain. “Mr. Fang, do you want me to lose my job and end up in prison?” Accepting bribes as a medical professional was illegal, and depending on the amount, it could lead to imprisonment.

“Doctor Chen, you’ve misunderstood…” Fang Liguo wore a careful smile as he spoke. “I’m not asking you to compromise your professional ethics. It’s merely a small token of our gratitude. Thank you for your hard work. You can use this money to purchase some supplements…”

“Yes, Doctor Chen, please accept it!” Song Ling chimed in.

“Take it away!” Yang Chen didn’t even spare a glance at the bank card. He spoke coldly, “I would be deeply disappointed if you insisted. There’s no need for this. Just leave.”

“Doctor Chen…” Song Ling was about to say something, but Fang Liguo swiftly put away the bank card and smiled as if nothing had occurred. “Alright, alright, we’ll leave now. If you need anything else, just let me know…”

Chen Yang rolled his eyes. If it weren’t for Fang Xiaoyuan, he would have already kicked them out!
