Mo Boyuan got into the car with his wife and son.

Gu Ranzhi rolled his eyes but did not comment. At this time, the most important thing was making sure Ningning was alright. He had to get the child to the hospital as soon as possible!

As for arguing with his sworn enemy… that could wait. There was no need to rush into conflict when more important matters were at hand.

…

The car sped along the road. Fortunately, there were not many people and vehicles on the road at this time, so the journey to the hospital was relatively smooth.

Feeling Ningning shivering, Jiang Tingxu said, “Brother, turn up the temperature.”

“Okay. How’s Ningning?”

“He’s a little feverish but asleep.”

It was not uncommon for a child to catch a cold upon falling into a pond. Coupled with the child’s near-death experience, it was no wonder Ningning was running a fever.

Children are not the only ones vulnerable – even adults could succumb when placed under similar situations.

Through their channels, the Mo family received word of the accident. Mo Boyuan was on the phone speaking to his grandfather.

“Grandpa, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s not a big problem. Ningning was fished out as soon as he fell into the water.”

“What do you mean it’s not something I need to worry about?! No. This old man must see for himself how Little Ningning is doing. Tianhan, have your jet fly me over now.”

From the other end of the line, Mo Boyuan could hear his mother, Mrs Mo, barking out instructions to the family’s butler and housekeeper, “Hurry up! What are you waiting for?”

While things were being prepared, Mrs Mo entreated her father-in-law, “Dad, don’t be anxious. I’ll go with you.”

Old Master Mo’s breaths came in hurried gasps, growing louder as time passed. Worried about her father-in-law’s health, Mrs Mo urged, “Dad, look at me. Let’s take a few deep breaths. Everything’s going to be alright.”

Old Master Mo was getting on in years. If he allowed anxiety to get the better of him, there was a very real possibility that he would collapse. Try as she might, there was little Mrs Mo could do to assuage her father-in-law’s worry – Ningning was just too important to him!

When he heard Ningning had fallen into a pond, inimical dread overcame him. He was afraid something would happen to his beloved great-grandson, who had become a victim of a treacherous pool of water.

Although his grandson, Mo Boyuan, had said that Ningning was alright and only feverish, it did little to settle his gnawing terror, the terror of losing his only great-grandson.

How could he take his grandson’s words at face value if he could not ascertain the truth with his own eyes?

It took a great deal of effort on Mrs Mo’s part to calm Old Master Mo down. With the window of opportunity, Mrs Mo picked up the phone and asked, “Boyuan, are you on your way to the hospital now?”

“Yes, Mother.”

“Okay, okay. You guys go on ahead. Send us a when you arrive. Your Father, your Grandfather, and I are heading over right now. We’ll see you soon.”

“Okay.”

He ended the call. Naturally, the contents of the call pertained to his wife and son.

“Are both Father and Grandfather coming? What about Mother?” Jiang Tingxu asked.

“Yes, they have already arranged for a private jet. It should arrive soon.”

Hearing Mo Boyuan’s words, Jiang Tingxu frowned. “But, Grandpa is…”

Old Master Mo was not getting any younger. Travelling by plane would unnecessarily strain his body, weakened by age.

Although he remained silent, how could Mo Boyuan be unaware of his grandfather’s condition?

“Do you think anyone can stop Grandfather with his temperament?”

Old Master Mo might appear easygoing, turning a blind eye to most things. Still, where the matter involved his great-grandson, there was no stopping him once he had decided on a course of action. No one was more important than Little Ningning.

No force on earth could stop him!

Any attempt to dissuade him would be squashed with extreme prejudice. Only misfortune awaited those who stood in his way.

It was better to go with the flow than against it.

“Don’t worry too much; Father will caution the pilot.” There was no doubt in Mo Boyuan’s mind that his father would instruct the pilot to fly at half the usual speed.

Even though it was best to agree with Old Master Mo, contingencies were still necessary, and they had to be arranged with due care.

Jiang Tingxu heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at her son, who was sound asleep in her arms. Ningning’s face flushed from the fever he was running, and every now then, he would twitch.

Every time he twitched, Jiang Tingxu would gently caress her child.

“It’s okay. It’s okay. Mom is here. Everything’s going to be alright.”

As if feeling the warmth of his mother’s gentle words, Ningning relaxed, drifting into a deep sleep..
