Chapter 20: 020 Zhenzhen Protects Her Cubs

After gaining her son’s consent, Yan Yueqing suddenly felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from her chest.

Her breathing became easier as she said excitedly, "Baby, you rest for a bit; Mom will go ask the doctor if we can arrange your discharge."

Yan Wang closed his eyes without responding.

His trembling eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings.

[System Prompt:

Yan Wang Favorability +5.

Current Favorability: -45.]

This little tsundere...

With a smile, Yan Yueqing tiptoed out of the ward and hurried to the nurse’s desk, "Hello, I’m Yan Wang’s family from the VIP ward. I’d like to check on my son’s hospitalization details."

Sister Li had gone to get the files, leaving Zhenzhen alone there. Seeing Yan Yueqing approach, she no longer showed her earlier excitement, her tone indifferent: "Just wait, let me check."

She opened the system and scrolled through the computer screen, her actions unusually slow.

Yan Yueqing could clearly feel that the nurse was stalling, but what could she do! The original host hadn’t been to the hospital for over a year, and the nurse’s behavior could be seen as a way to vent on behalf of the little guy, right?

After all, Yan Wang was everyone’s darling who brought joy wherever he went!

Only the original host had issues, neglecting her own son and making their relationship so tense!

Zhenzhen alternated between looking at the computer and flipping through files, appearing somewhat busy. It took a full ten minutes before she finally spoke: "Yan Wang’s monthly hospital fees are paid by the Yan Family, always on time, without any delays."

She deliberately stressed the word "on time" heavily.

Yan Yueqing, who could clearly hear the subtext, asked in a good-natured manner, "What about the medications my son is using? Could I take a look at the list?"

"The medications vary each time, according to the doctor’s orders of the day," Zhenzhen said with a drooping face. "As a family member, you can go back and review the medical records yourself."

She had thought well of Yan Yueqing before, but what about now? Pretending to study the medical records under surveillance for ages—didn’t she see the prescription list?

Definitely acting!

Putting on a show for the public!

Yan Yueqing held up her phone, pointing to the picture she had just taken: "I’ve looked up all these medications, but what is this special-effect N-1 substance? Could you explain it to me, please?"

Zhenzhen, slightly impatient and about to decline, stopped as her eyes landed on the photographed image. Frowning, she asked, "What are you writing on the medical records?"

"Sorry, I don’t quite understand some of the jargon, so I made notes each time I checked something," Yan Yueqing explained amicably. "Don’t worry; I used image editing to mark them, I didn’t write on the original medical records themselves."

Zhenzhen gave her a complex look.

What does she mean by that?

Yan Yueqing’s attitude left Zhenzhen slightly baffled.

She claimed not to care for her own son, even saying such things, and now she’s pretending to be what?

Yet the markings on the photo clearly showed she had studied it thoroughly.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhenzhen decided to give the woman before her a chance and patiently began, "That’s a new special-effect medicine from NATE Corporation. N-1 signifies the first phase. Young Yan Wang experiences very clear episodes of palpitations with each change of season, which can lead to a sudden heart cessation if slightly severe. NATE’s first-phase special-effect medicine can effectively moderate his heart rate.

Besides... Mrs. Yan, considering Yan Wang’s health, he could have been discharged six months ago! Apart from regular check-ups and injection of the special-effect medicine, he would recover faster with the company of family than alone in the hospital!"

The last sentence was laced with a full measure of resentment.

Half a year ago, the principal doctor had already discussed with the Yan Family’s patriarch whether to allow Yan Wang to recuperate at home.

But the old man merely waved his hand, saying all decisions would wait for his mother’s approval.

Sister Li had heard it herself and only just managed to bear telling me.

So...

Yan Wang couldn’t be discharged from the hospital, and it was entirely Yan Yueqing’s doing!

The more Zhenzhen thought about it, the angrier she became. "If you truly cared about your son, you should have taken time off work to show him the world! Instead of being affectionate with other children on your show while your own son waits, alone in the hospital, for his mother to come!"

Her words struck hard!

Yan Yueqing fell somewhat silent.

The nurse was right!

The original owner had been too cruel!

The scapegoat pursed her lips, "Thank you, I’ve come this time to arrange my son’s discharge."

Zhenzhen’s passionate indignation suddenly got stuck in her throat, "Ah?"

Yan Yueqing replied politely, "You’re right. Because of my work, I’ve neglected my son for a long time, so now I want to take the time to properly accompany him and compensate for the loneliness he’s suffered over the years! I’m also very grateful for the care you have provided for my son, thank you for your efforts."

Such a good attitude?

Zhenzhen opened her mouth, initially wanting to stand up for Yan Wang, but when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back down, "No need to thank us, this is what we medical personnel should do."

Yan Yueqing: "I would also like to ask, how often does Wangwang need to come for regular check-ups? And among these medicines, which can be taken home and which require treatment at the hospital?"

At this point, Zhenzhen was no longer sleepy. She proactively created a medical checklist and began writing and drawing on it with a pen: "Little friend Yan Wang needs to come back for monthly check-ups. These drugs need to be taken once a day. The red-capped ones are for emergencies—if Yan Wang experiences palpitations or difficulty breathing, these can be used to alleviate the symptoms.

The tricky one is the N-1 special-effect medicine, which has some numbing effects and cannot be used outside of the hospital. It requires a doctor’s prescription. Moreover, because of its high price, our hospital is currently the only one in City C that has introduced this kind of special-effect medicine."

What that implied was that they could only come to the hospital!

Yan Yueqing suddenly understood!

She finally realized why Qin Youran had invested in NATE Pharmaceuticals.

Yan Wang needed this medicine!

Given the limited circulation of N-1 special-effect medicine on the market, and considering its high production costs, it was estimated that NATE Pharmaceuticals would have difficulty sustaining it.

After communicating with the nurse for a long time, Yan Yueqing carefully collected the materials and slowly walked toward the ward.

Along the way, she pondered over the special-effect medicine.

Taking her son away wasn’t difficult, but breaking away from the Yan Family would require ensuring Yan Wang’s health condition and freedom of medication.

All other medications were negotiable; the special-effect medicine, however, was abruptly irreplaceable.

If the Yan Family used NATE’s new drug to control Yan Wang, she really wouldn’t be able to handle it!

How could she ensure a continuous supply of the special-effect medicine?

After pondering for a moment, Yan Yueqing felt the best course of action was to buy into the company!

With the system and the nurturing funds, investing in NATE Pharmaceuticals in Yan Wang’s name was not an issue.

The only fear was the Yan Family interfering...

Upon careful consideration, investing in Yan Wang’s name might bring about even more troublesome matters afterwards, and wasn’t the best option.

So...

To whom should she spend this money to ensure a steady supply of medicine?

The phone rang.

Yan Yueqing retrieved her phone and looked at the unfamiliar number, frowning slightly, "Hello?"

"This is Director Tang."

Yan Yueqing’s eyes lit up!
