When the butler made a call to Qin Mufeng, he was at the bar. Lu Jingli had pulled him into a conversation to gossip.
Once they heard that Ning Xi had suddenly fainted, the pair rushed over to the hospital.
At the First People’s Republic Hospital in the capital, in the VIP ward on the top floor.
Once Qin Mufeng and Lu Jingli arrived, they saw a sickly pale Ning Xi lying on the hospital bed, her arm hooked up to an IV. Sitting in a chair beside her was Lu Tingxiao, his face heavy with worry and his expression overcast.
Lu Jingli and Qin Mufeng gazed at each other, and realized they were both frightened by Lu Tingxiao’s expression.
At this moment, a nurse carrying medication came over, and Lu Jingli hurriedly pulled her aside to ask, "How’s the condition of the patient? What’s wrong with her? Is it serious?"
"The patient has a fever of 39.6ºC," the nurse replied.
