65 A Chance Encounter
The results did not take long.
The doctor looked at Luo Hao and furrowed his brows, “He’s been experiencing arrhythmia and thrombosis for a long time. Why hasn’t he come for a check-up? ”
Luo Hao furrowed his brows. Although he was old, he had always been healthy. How could he have heart disease?
“Doctor, what should we do now?” Luo Ying asked.
“Fortunately, you came in time. If you had let it stew for a little longer, he would have been at an increased risk of sudden death. This was a silent killer.
Luo Ying gasped.
In the original book, Luo Hao had died of a heart attack. He had collapsed in an empty corridor and was only discovered a long time later.
“Let’s hurry. Dad, go through a few more examinations with them, then we’ll try to fix a surgery.”
“Doctor,” Hao Luo said, “my body has always…”
“Not another word, Mr. Luo. You’ll be hospitalized today.” The doctor completed the admission procedures very quickly.
When he saw Luo Ying’s determined expression, Luo Hao also nodded.
After all, if he didn’t go through this surgery, he would face the risk of sudden death, which was something he didn’t want to experience.
After settling her father down, Luo Ying was about to head off to buy some daily necessities for her father. She didn’t expect to meet an acquaintance in the supermarket near the hospital.
Lin Ping’s expression was dark. He was basically glaring at the shelves. When he saw Luo Ying, his glare became even colder.
“You’re here? Why don’t you go and see my brother?”
Luo Ying was confused by the question. “Who is your brother to me? Why should I go see your brother?”
“My brother was going to a meeting in another city today, but someone had to T-bone him along the way. He broke his leg. Aren’t you going to see him? ”
When she heard about Lin Su’s broken leg, Luo Ying’s expression remained as bored as ever. “What does it have to do with me? Just take good care of your brother.”
“Are you women all so fickle? Didn’t you love my brother very much before? Why did you have a change of heart so suddenly? Do you not even care if my brother is sick?”
Luo Ying found it extremely ridiculous. When she fancied Lin Su, everyone tried to shake her off as if she was annoying flea.
But now, she no longer pestered Lin Su. Were they trying to gaslight her into visiting him?
“Last I looked, your brother has a functioning brain and is a grown man. He’s not an orphan, so I don’t need to show him my love.” Luo Ying looked at Lin ping with a cold smile. ‘Besides, I don’t like Lin Su anymore. Is that not what you all hoped for? Don’t think of using me just because you need a free nurse. No way.”
After Luo Ying finished speaking, she left the supermarket.
Lin Ping was behind her, looking at her back in a daze.
He didn’t know why, but the moment he heard her say that she no longer liked Lin Su, he actually felt a little happy.
Luo Ying took her things back to the ward and helped Luo Hao settle down.
That night, the caretaker had not arrived yet, so she stayed with her father in the ward for the entire night.
The father and daughter talked about a lot of things. Gradually, Luo Ying got to know that the original Luo Ying never really understood her father.
She decided to treat her father well.
The next day, after the nurse came, Luo Ying went home to rest.
Just as she reached the door, she saw an anxious-looking Zhang.
“Zhang, what’s wrong?” Luo Ying asked.
“Sir has been drinking the entire night and didn’t allow us up the second floor. We don’t know what happened.”
“Drinking? Lu Zhao is back?” There were still two or three days before Lu Zhao’s business trip, so why did he suddenly come back last night?
I don’t know, either. I heard from Mr. Lu’s assistant that Mr. Lu seemed to have gone to the hospital to see a patient. He started drinking the moment he came back.
He saw a patient?
A strange guess appeared in Luo Ying’s mind.
Had Lu Zhao seen her in the hospital and mistakenly thought that she was there to see Lin Su?
“Which room does he usually stay in on the second floor?” Luo Ying asked.
Zhang had been a servant in the Lu family for several years, so she knew Lu Zhao well.
“There’s a recording studio on the second floor. He should be there.”
Luo Ying nodded and went up the stairs.
When she reached the door of the recording room, she smelled alcohol.
The door was unlocked, so she nudged it open with a light push.
There were no windows in the recording studio. The projector was playing old movies, and Lu Zhao sat in the middle of room, surrounded by wine bottles.
The mottled light and shadow hit his face.
His face looked haggard from a lack of sleep and his depression.
His usual sharp edge had been diluted, and there was a faint trace of sorrow in his eyes.
He looked like an abandoned puppy.
Luo Ying’s heart ached.
Was she that important to Lu Zhao?
