She smiled.

Her Yuan smiled.

The smile was bright and captivating, yet...

There were no dimples by the corners of those beautiful lips...

Dimples.

How could she forget, Yuan had dimples when she smiled.

Even as a child, those dimples were deep, sometimes even a slight smile while speaking would reveal them clearly.

But now, the smile before her was lovely, yet lacked the dimples she longed to see.

Ning Zitong seemed to deflate instantly, leaning back onto the bed.

Yan Xinxin, is it really Yan Xinxin?

"Mom, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Ning Zitong suddenly look bleak, her complexion so poor, she approached with concern to inquire.

Ning Zitong shook her head, her eyes devoid of energy as she stared at the face so close.

Soon, her eyes became moist.

"Mom..."

"Mom, the doctors are here."

Mu Shaoqian pushed the door open, followed by two family doctors specializing in cardiology.

The doctor took out a stethoscope to examine Ning Zitong, and as he checked her, his brows furrowed.

"Doctor, is there something wrong with my mom?"

The girl asked anxiously.

The doctor was slightly taken aback and looked up at the girl.

He had seen news that the Mu family had a daughter named Mu Qianyuan, said to have disappeared due to an accident. Could it be that she’s been found, and it’s this girl in front of him?

"Dean Liu, what’s my mom’s condition now? Can she be discharged?"

Mu Shaoqian stepped forward, anxiously asking.

Dean Liu put away the stethoscope, shook his head while frowning.

"Mrs. Mu’s heart rate is still very unstable, she needs to remain in the hospital for observation."

"Then what is causing her unstable heart rate? My mom has been hospitalized twice recently."

"I suspect Mrs. Mu has been stimulated by something, leading to this condition."

Dean Liu speculated, but his guess was reasonable.

"The usual triggers for heart disease patients are due to emotional excitement, whether in anger or happiness. Mrs. Mu must have experienced some emotional stimulation, which repeatedly caused her angina attacks. Fortunately, these incidents weren’t too severe."

"What? Isn’t this serious enough? What counts as severe then?"

Mu Shaoqian spoke with a hint of anger.

Dean Liu was slightly startled by his shout.

"Young Master Mu, calm down, I meant no harm."

"I don’t care! You must cure my mom! Or else..."

"Shaoqian."

Ning Zitong finally spoke.

"Don’t make things difficult for Dean Liu, I’m fine now."

She said, slowly sitting up, while the girl beside eagerly reached out to help her.

"This condition is congenital, I carried it from the womb, it’s incurable. I know for people with this illness, severe stimulation can have the worst outcome—sudden death. You don’t need to trouble Dean Liu."

"Thank you, Mrs. Mu, for your understanding."

Dean Liu wiped a sweat.

The Young Master of the Mu family truly has quite a temper.

While this young lady of the Mu family appears calm and sensible.

As he was speaking, Mu Jingheng entered from the doorway, holding a bouquet of flowers, and astonishingly, the flowers were...

"Shaoqian, take your sister home. Your father can stay with me."

Ning Zitong spoke.

"Mom, Yuan wants to stay with you."

"Your father’s here, that’s enough. You go home and rest, come back later, be good."

"Alright then, Yuan will listen to mom."

The girl said as she stood up, without looking at Mu Jingheng, she followed Mu Shaoqian out, along with the two specialist doctors.

Soon the room was left with just the couple.

Suddenly, Ning Zitong sat up, hurriedly got out of bed, and rushed towards the door.

"Ah Tong, what are you doing? Where are you going?"

"Ah Jing, don’t mind me! I need to see for myself, I need to see clearly!"
