Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Intern Doctor?

Just as Nan Zhuoyuan was about to step off the elevator, he heard this and snapped back to reality, looking towards Nan Zhou.

"What did you say?"

Nan Zhou met his cold, glasses-covered gaze and repeated, "Big brother, last night Ren Xingzhou set a big fire, burning down half the mountain. All three lions died, and one escaped."

"Ren Xingzhou got a taste of his own medicine and perished in the sea of flames."

Nan Zhuoyuan understood every word, yet when put together, they made no sense to him anymore.

"Ren Xingzhou has been loyally serving by mother’s side for over twenty years, raising lions in the deep mountains. That place was his home, how could he possibly set fire to the mountain?"

"Azhou, have someone investigate this matter in secret. I want to know the reason."

After saying this, Nan Zhuoyuan adjusted his glasses with his finger and stepped into the hospital room.

Nan Zhou took silent note and followed him in.

Upon entering, they were met with the icy voice of Nan Bofu resonating from the sickroom.

"If Nan Yu hadn’t died, I really would’ve wanted to tear her to pieces myself!"

Nan Qingqing suddenly knelt on the ground, her voice breaking with sobs, "Dad, I’m sorry. On behalf of my foster parents and sister, I apologize to you."

"It’s also my fault for failing to protect against Nan Yu’s attack; otherwise, I could have been the one lying here, suffering in place of mom."

When Nan Bofu heard Nan Qingqing’s words, he looked over at her with red eyes, gripping Duan Zhu’s hands tightly.

He gazed at her, seeing the resemblance to Duan Zhu in her brows and eyes, and a surge of tenderness and emotion welled up inside him.

Immediately, Nan Bofu stretched out his hand and pulled her up.

"Qingqing, this isn’t your fault; it’s all Nan Yu’s doing. You don’t have to apologize for that dead person!"

"Although I’m seeing you for the first time today, Azhu had called me before, always saying that you’re a very good child, much like her in her youth."

"The moment I saw you upon landing, I recognized you as my daughter. You really do look like your mother did when she was young."

He paused, then patted her shoulder, "Seeing you like this now, it’s just as she said, you do resemble her."

Nan Qingqing stood up from the ground, seeing nothing but recognition for her in his eyes, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

She quickly said, "Dad, now that Nan Yu is dead and has also been punished by the heavens, buried in an Evil Tomb, I hope you can forgive my foster parents and not make things difficult for them. If there’s any retribution to be faced, I am willing to bear it for them."

Gazing at such a good daughter, Nan Bofu consoled her, "The wrongdoer was Nan Yu; the family shouldn’t suffer for it. Besides, I’ve also heard that Nan Yu paralyzed your foster mother, nearly costing her life."

Nan Qingqing nodded, her eyes reddening further, "My foster mother is also a person of hardship."

Nan Bofu patted her on the back, "Now that Nan Yu is dead, let’s put this matter to rest for now. The most important thing is for Azhu to wake up."

With that, he turned his gaze back to Duan Zhu lying on the hospital bed.

Nan Bofu sat down again, taking Duan Zhu’s hands into his once more, watching over her with a pained heart.

Nan Zhuoyuan stood at a distance, observing Nan Qingqing sweet-talking Nan Bofu, who had been completely deceived by her lies. His eyes darkened profoundly, and his hands clenched into fists.

He strode behind Nan Bofu, "Dad, you don’t have to worry too much about mom’s health. I’ve found a very skilled doctor. In less than a month, mom will wake up."

Nan Zhou chimed in as well, "Right, dad, that Doctor Li is truly talented. Although she’s an intern, her medical skills are exceptional, and mom’s condition has improved a lot in the past few days."

Nan Bofu’s ears perked up at the most critical keywords.

"Intern?"
