Mommy, the wealthy daddy has come to propose again.

"Ningning, is it really you? You're finally back!"

Shen Ruxue stood up excitedly, walked to Bai Ning, and stroked her cold and beautiful face with her delicate hands over and over again.

"Silly child, you can tell me what's bothering you. There's no need to hold it in alone. Do you know how worried everyone was about your safety during the time you were away?"

Everyone in the Gong family knew why Bai Ning left without saying goodbye.

In fact, she loved Lan Qichen deeply in her heart, but because of family feud, she was forced to separate from him.

If you put yourself in her shoes, you know, she must be very sad deep down in her heart, right?

Besides, Bai Ning was an independent person and didn't want to bother others, so he chose to hide and endure all the consequences alone.

Shen Ruxue looked at her daughter's thin face, her eyes and eyebrows showing heartache: "Silly child, look at how thin you are. How can a mother not feel distressed?"

As an actress, Bai Ning has always been highly self-disciplined in terms of her figure. She was already thin enough, but she suffered a lot during her time in the fishing village and lost another 7 or 8 kilograms. Her face, which was originally full of collagen, now looks a little sunken and a bit tired.

"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."

Bai Ning pulled the corners of his lips, forced out a pale and weak smile, and told his mother not to worry.

"How is Grandpa's health?"

She looked at Gong Qilin lying on the hospital bed. The old man's face was as pale as paper, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were closed as if he had fallen asleep.

"Dad had a sudden heart attack and fainted in the attic. We were all in the living room at the time and no one noticed. The maid went up to the attic to clean in the evening and saw him and called an ambulance."

The Gong family attic stores a large number of rare antiques, all of which were collected by the old man at major auctions. Each piece is worth a lot of money and is treated like a treasure.

This time, Gong Qilin accidentally fainted in the attic. The situation was sudden, and the best rescue time was delayed by two hours, resulting in brain deprivation of oxygen, so he has not yet woken up.

Bai Ning moved to the bedside with heavy steps and knelt down with a plop.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry I'm late."

She took Gong Qilin's hand, which felt very cold, with veins bulging on the back of his hand and obvious blood vessels.

"Grandpa, I'm here to say sorry to you. It's my fault for being so willful and reckless. I left home without saying goodbye. I only cared about relaxing myself but ignored the feelings of my family."

After several months of settling down, Bai Ning's state of mind has become calm and he can handle things rationally. He is no longer as emotional and reckless as before.

Gong Ming washed a plate of fruit and brought it to the table. He greeted her in a gentle voice, "Sister Ning, you have come all the way here and you must not have had time to eat yet, right? Eat some fruit first. I'll go downstairs to buy dinner for you and Second Aunt."

After Gong Qilin's condition eased, Gong Yu and several other elders went to the company to handle affairs.

Now is the time when the old quarter turns to the new quarter. The company has many new products waiting to be launched on the market. Everyone is very busy, so the tasks are allocated reasonably, and the task of taking care of the old man falls into the hands of some idle people.

"Ah."

Bai Ning responded indifferently, but she had no appetite to eat at the moment. She concentrated all her energy on Gong Qilin, hoping that he would wake up soon.

Shen Ruxue peeled an apple for her and said softly, "Ningning, it's not a good idea for you to continue like this. Your health is also very important. You have to eat something. Look how thin you are. It hurts me to see you."

After not seeing her for just a few months, the mother's heart felt like it was bleeding as she saw her daughter become so thin that she looked like a ghost.

Bai Ning didn't want Shen Ruxue to worry too much about him, so he took the apple and started eating it in small bites.

She sat in front of the bed, waiting for Gong Qilin to wake up, and never left.

After a while, Gong Ming returned to the ward with two bags and spread the packed steaming meals on the table.

"Aunt, Sister Ning, let's eat first. I'll go get the nurse to come and take care of Grandpa."
