Chapter 40: Inquiring

Faced with Rong Xia’s warning, Song Yunshu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

She never believed that Chen Shaocong would have any ulterior motives toward her. At most, it was just the friendship they had when they were students.

She didn’t think too much about it.

The two of them did not continue to talk about this matter, as if Chen Shaocong’s appearance just now was just a small episode for them.

No one took it to heart.

The surgery was scheduled for around 2:30 in the afternoon.

Song Yunshu went to see her attending physician after she was done with the admission procedures.

However, who would have thought that the attending physician would suddenly say that something urgent came up in the afternoon and unilaterally canceled her surgery.

There wasn’t even a notification.

Song Yunshu and Rong Xia waited until the time was almost up, but they were informed that the surgery could not be carried out at the last minute. Rong Xia was so angry that she cursed on the spot.

The surgery was not like anything else. It was really a very low-class practice to stand her up at the last minute.

They had all specially taken leave today, but in the end, they could not do what they had agreed on. Anyone would be unhappy about this.

And when she came out of the hospital, she coincidentally bumped into a young couple who had also come to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.

The husband of that pregnant woman was very polite and apologized repeatedly.

Song Yunshu and Rong Xia were not the kind of people who would hold grudges. After saying that it was alright, they left the hospital.

However, the pregnant woman stared at the back of Song Yunshu and Rong Xia as they left. Then, she looked at the department in front of her and frowned.

“Honey, give me your phone. I suddenly remembered that I need to make a call.”

“Alright.”

…

On the way back, Rong Xia was still complaining about the unreliable doctors in that hospital.

She said that she wanted to bring Song Yunshu to a better private hospital for surgery.

Anyway, this kind of abortion surgery could be done anywhere as long as it was in a regular hospital. It was not restricted to just one place.

Song Yunshu was more open-minded about it and didn’t take it to heart as much.

It wouldn’t be a big deal to postpone it for a day or two, she thought.

Not far behind them, Huo Cen’s car was following them at a moderate distance.

It was not until the car in front of him drove into his neighborhood that the black Maybach turned around and drove in the direction of the Huo Group.

Lin Shu had been running around with the boss for the whole day. Now that he could finally go back, he was so happy that he almost lit a firework right then and there.

It really wasn’t easy.

“Young Master, Madam’s car has already entered the residential area. Do we still have to follow her?”

Lin Shu turned around and asked symbolically.

Huo Cen’s heavy gaze landed outside the car window, staring in the direction that the car had disappeared. His thin lips pursed slightly.

His handsome face was filled with seriousness that could be seen by the naked eye.

Although Lin Shu had been by his side for many years, he still could not easily figure out his thoughts.

Now that Huo Cen did not respond, Lin Shu could only continue to wait silently at the side, hoping for a result.

“Go back to the company.”

After a long while, the man finally uttered two words calmly.

Lin Shu thanked the heavens.

Without a word, he immediately started the car and drove to the company.

On the other side.

Song Yunshu’s attending physician, Dr. Hu, hurriedly rejected Song Yunshu’s surgery after receiving a call from her superiors. She lied that he had something to do and had to go home.

Now that she was sitting in her office, she had just heaved a sigh of relief when there was a knock on the door.

Dr. Hu said without looking up, “Please come in.”

The person outside pushed the door open and entered.

The other party, dressed in a small dress and wearing sunglasses, confidently walked into the office.

She carried a small bag beside her and went straight to the desk. She placed her bag on the table casually.

She didn’t look like she was here to see a doctor, but rather a model who had just come out of a fashion show.

“Hello, may I know if there was a patient named Song Yunshu who came to register with you this morning? I want to know what’s wrong with her.”

“This…” Dr. Hu sized her up and said seriously and fairly, “I’m sorry, it’s our duty as doctors not to casually disclose patients’ private information.”

“You don’t have to be nervous. I’m Song Yunshu’s cousin, and I’m part of her family. She hasn’t been doing well recently, and my family is worried about her. My friend happened to see her at the gynecology department today, and I got the news, so I came to find you to learn about her situation.”

An Jiaqing took off her sunglasses, revealing her delicate face with exquisite makeup.

Then, she reached into her bag and rummaged through her small bag. She pushed an envelope toward Dr. Hu.

“Don’t worry, it’s just that her family wants to know about her condition. It won’t pose any threat to your career. You can relax.”
