Chapter 854: Chapter 852: I Can Do It Alone (2)

Zhang Te placed the fresh flowers aside and took an exquisite crystal vase to the restroom.

He turned on the faucet, creating the illusion of washing the vase, then quickly pulled out his phone and began typing messages.

Three minutes later, Zhang Te came out of the restroom carrying the vase filled two-thirds with water. He was about to unwrap the flower package and place the flowers in the vase when his phone suddenly rang from his pocket.

After replying to Lin Chen’s message, Xia Wan’an, witnessing the scene, thought to help since she was idle anyway, "Zhang Te, you go ahead and take the call, I can handle this."

"Thank you, Miss Xia Wanwan," Zhang Te said as he wiped the water drops from his hands with a tissue, took out his phone, and answered, "What’s wrong? Secretary Sun?"

"What? The Shanghai Branch has run into a sudden issue? Is it serious? Okay, I got it..."

A moment later, Zhang Te ended the call with Secretary Sun and hurried over to the bedside, speaking to Han Jingnian with a sense of urgency and anxiety similar to facing a great enemy, "President Han, Secretary Sun called to say there’s a severe problem at the Shanghai Branch that urgently requires your presence, but given your current condition, you certainly can’t go. What should we do?"

Zhang Te and Han Jingnian continued to discuss work-related matters briefly before Han Jingnian finally said, "You go."

"Me go? What about you? You are in such a condition, and you can’t be left alone. Dr. Xie has been booked solid with surgeries recently and can’t always be here to look after you. Even if we find a caretaker, it won’t be reassuring..."

Han Jingnian, seeming to find Zhang Te’s exaggeration somewhat displeasing, slightly furrowed his brow and interrupted, "If I tell you to go, just go. I can manage by myself."

"You managing by yourself? You can’t even get out of bed or drink water on your own..." Zhang Te muttered under his breath, then suddenly seemed to think of a better idea, his eyes lighting up, "How about this? President Han, I’ll call the old mansion and ask Mrs. Zhang to come look after you for a few days..."

"I’ve told you, there’s no need to disturb Grandmother over nothing." Han Jingnian’s tone suddenly turned sharp as if a line had been crossed, "Zhang Cheng, have you forgotten? Grandmother has been on medication this whole month."

Zhang Te: "I..."

Han Jingnian, evidently not wanting to entangle further with Zhang Te, decisively and indisputably made his decision, "Alright, just do as I said. You can go now."

Zhang Te uneasy, "Han..."

He had only spoken one word when Han Jingnian’s brow furrowed deeply.

Terrified, Zhang Te immediately stopped talking, struggled for a while, and finally compromised, saying, "President Han, I understand. I’ll leave right now."

Xia Wan’an, who had been arranging the flowers, hadn’t paid much attention to the work discussion between Zhang Te and Han Jingnian, but she overheard their following conversation.

Zhang Te had urgent business requiring him to travel suddenly, and the people at the Han family’s old mansion were unaware of Han Jingnian’s current condition... So, with Zhang Te leaving, would there be no one left at the hospital to look after Han Jingnian?

Xia Wan’an looked at the weary and pale Han Jingnian on the hospital bed, then at the worried Zhang Te, hesitating for a short while. Ultimately, she couldn’t help but speak up, "Zhang Te, do you have to go on a business trip right now?"
