Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Drugging

Fu Yihan’s brows furrowed even deeper as he raised his hand...

"Mom....."

The hand that was struggling froze. Fu Yihan turned his head to look at the person lying there.

Her expression was tormented, but the corners of her mouth held a faint smile.

"Mom... don’t go...."

She actually mistook him for a woman?

Fu Yihan sneered coldly, glancing at the hand gripping his, and made no further attempt to pull away.

After a long while, A Qi appeared at the doorway, bringing Lianyi along with him.

"What is going on here?" Lianyi walked over in surprise, her gaze settling on Su Qingnuan’s appearance. She looked at Fu Yihan with concern. "Eldest Young Master, did you abuse her or something?"

"..." Fu Yihan shot her a glare and said sternly, "You’re crossing the line."

Restraining her own expression, Lianyi took a handkerchief and asked softly, "Did you call the doctor? This situation doesn’t look simple! Why is she sweating so much?"

"I don’t know." Fu Yihan exerted a little force, attempting to free himself from Su Qingnuan’s hand.

However, even in her unconscious state, she somehow had enough strength to clutch his wrist tightly.

Noticing their interactions, Lianyi smiled meaningfully.

"You know, it’s said that unconscious people are at their most vulnerable. They’ll instinctively grab onto whatever they can like a lifeline. Eldest Young Master, maybe you shouldn’t pull your hand back for now."

Fu Yihan glanced at Su Qingnuan. Whenever he tried to move his hand, her expression grew more agonized.

After a moment of silence, Fu Yihan ultimately stopped struggling.

The doctor finally arrived, and Su Qingnuan was already completely debilitated.

"Doctor Li, please take a look. What exactly is going on here?" Lianyi pushed Doctor Li to the other side.

Doctor Li checked Su Qingnuan’s condition, his brows gradually furrowing.

"This doesn’t seem like normal physical pain."

Fu Yihan raised an eyebrow and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

"Her heartbeat is irregular, her breathing is rapid, and her chest hardly moves. Eldest Young Master, send her to the hospital immediately."

Doctor Li was the Fu family’s private physician. If it had been a simple ailment, it wouldn’t have been a problem for him to handle. For him to say something like this meant Su Qingnuan’s condition was quite serious.

Fu Yihan looked at A Qi and commanded sternly, "Go prepare the car."

"Yes."

Watching A Qi head out, Fu Yihan’s gaze fell on Doctor Li.

"Doctor Li, I’ll need you to come along."

"Rest assured, Eldest Young Master."

A Qi moved swiftly and soon returned to inform them that the car was ready.

Hoisting Su Qingnuan onto his back, they quickly made their way downstairs and rushed to the hospital without any delay.

After precise medical examinations, Doctor Li confirmed that Su Qingnuan had suffered a cardiac episode. The specific cause would require further investigation.

Fu Yihan’s wheelchair stopped outside the emergency room, silently watching the red-lit doors.

"Has she engaged in any vigorous activity today?"

"No." A Qi lowered his head solemnly. "Aside from attending class and having a meal with someone, she did nothing else today."

It was just like any other day, so why would she have an episode?

She had lived this way since childhood and surely knew how to avoid triggers.

If it wasn’t a self-induced condition, then there could only be one other possibility...

Fu Yihan withdrew his gaze, the dark depths of his eyes revealing a slowly emerging violent aura.

"A Qi, go investigate."

"Eldest Young Master, do you suspect...?"

"Everyone who interacted with her tonight, call them in. Get to the bottom of it."

"Yes!"

Watching A Qi leave, Lianyi cautiously approached Fu Yihan and whispered, "Eldest Young Master, wouldn’t it be a bit much to disturb the old master at this hour?"

Fu Yihan shot her a glance but said nothing.

Under that cold gaze, Lianyi admitted defeat.

"Cousin, I came here to help you out. Why do you always give me that icy look?"

Fu Yihan let out a derisive snort. "Did I ask you to help me?"

".....Alright then." Lianyi nodded helplessly. "I volunteered myself, but at the very least, I’m your cousin. Can’t you give me some face and stop glaring at me? You know your stare makes my skin crawl."

Withdrawing his gaze, Fu Yihan’s demeanor remained as cold as ever.

"I’ve always been like this."

Looking at her cousin’s rigid profile, Lianyi sighed softly. "What a waste of such a handsome face."

The two waited outside until the doors to the emergency room opened.

Doctor Li stepped out, letting out a small breath of relief.

"Eldest Young Master, the eldest young lady has now escaped life-threatening danger. Soon, they’ll transport her to a ward."

"Alright." Fu Yihan glanced indifferently at the now-closed emergency room door and asked, "Did you identify the cause?"

"Her cells suddenly became highly active, which stimulated her heart. I suspect she may have taken some medication earlier—perhaps something like diet pills?"

"Diet pills?" Lianyi said with amusement, "Looking at my sister-in-law, she hardly seems like the type who’d go on a diet!"

Fu Yihan’s cool gaze flickered toward her.

Lianyi quickly shut her mouth, standing quietly to the side.

"Got it. Thank you for your effort, Doctor Li."

"Eldest Young Master, it’s nothing. I’m on duty tonight, so if anything comes up, just come find me at the infirmary."

"Alright."

Once the nurses wheeled Su Qingnuan out, Fu Yihan and Lianyi followed her to the ward.

After the emergency room visit, Su Qingnuan’s complexion had turned even paler.

"Poor sister-in-law," Lianyi sighed. "Why does she end up in the hospital every other moment?"

Fu Yihan frowned and glanced at her. "Go handle the admission paperwork."

"Huh?" Lianyi complained helplessly. "Can’t we wait for A Qi to do that later?"

"No." You’re too noisy.

"...Fine then."

Once Lianyi left, the ward finally fell into silence.

Fu Yihan turned his head, looking at Su Qingnuan lying on the bed.

Her brows were no longer furrowed, but her face remained pallid, and her breaths were faint.

She seemed so fragile that it wouldn’t surprise him if she stopped breathing at any moment.

He leaned closer, staring at her porcelain-like face, so pale that even the fine hairs were distinctly visible.

"Tsk!" Fu Yihan couldn’t help but poke her pale cheek. Soft and warm to the touch.

The sensation reassured Fu Yihan—this person was still alive.

"Why are you so cursed with misfortune?"

The softly murmured query echoed in the room, yet elicited no response.

Fu Yihan retracted his hand and pulled the quilt up higher.

He lifted her exposed hand and tucked it beneath the quilt.

Despite how thin Su Qingnuan was, her hands still held a peculiar hint of plumpness, making them very pleasant to hold.

Fu Yihan stared at her hand for a moment longer before abruptly pulling it back out.

Her fingers were slightly curled, forming a loose fist.

Fu Yihan extended his index finger, placing it in her palm.

Suddenly, her fingers twitched slightly, delicately wrapping around his finger.

The soft, comforting touch made Fu Yihan’s lips curve upward faintly.

So, this person could be quite amusing after all...
