Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1680: Chapter 1680: Preparing for Final Arrangements in Advance?

But her tightly clenched hands betrayed her unease.

Jian Yufei sat down beside her and reached out to hold her hand, “Mom, don’t worry, Grandpa will be fine.”

Nangong Ruyue slightly nodded, but her face remained expressionless.

Over the past twenty-plus years, although she never forgave her father, if he truly died, she would still feel very upset.

Qi Ruisen stood to the side, asking the doctor, “How is his condition?”

“The BOSS’s illness came on suddenly and fiercely, we will do our best to save him. Currently, there’s a sixty to seventy percent chance of success.”

The doctors in the castle are among the top in the world.

They say there’s a sixty to seventy percent chance, so it should be fine.

Qi Ruisen came over to Jian Yufei and the others, “Don’t worry, the old man should be okay.”

“How did he suddenly become critically ill without warning?” Jian Yufei asked puzzled.

Butler Hardy, standing to the side, said gravely, “It was phlegm blocking his throat, almost suffocating him.”

Qi Ruisen said coldly, “Wasn’t there someone taking care of him 24 hours a day?”

Butler Hardy replied guiltily, “Yes. Today, the BOSS wanted to be alone and drove the people out. When we went in, he was already unconscious.”

Jian Yufei’s face grew heavy.

She always felt something was off about Grandpa’s illness.

Last time he suddenly had a stroke, making it hard for him to speak and move, practically incapacitating him. This time, he drove people out, and then coincidentally almost died.

Is all this really coincidence? Or is it some conspiracy?

Jian Yufei could think this, naturally others would as well.

But they had no evidence to prove this was murder, so with their suspicions, they could only investigate privately, not openly suspect others.

Soon, Nangong Xu hurried back.

He sternly asked the caretakers a few questions, then comforted Nangong Ruyue and the others, and then waited with them.

Then, more people came, mostly older men who looked very dignified, though some young men were there as well, clearly not ordinary figures.

Qi Ruisen quietly explained to Jian Yufei, “They are all from the Nangong Family, some are Nangong Xu’s confidants. If it weren’t for a major issue, they wouldn’t come here.”

Jian Yufei understood, she wasn’t particularly interested in them, but they all politely came over to greet her and her mother.

Jian Yufei politely nodded in response to them all.

Nangong Ruyue showed no reaction directly, and everyone knew her silent nature and didn’t mind.

A crowd waited outside, putting likely pressure on the doctors inside, which made the surgery very efficient.

Two hours later, the surgery ended, and Nangong Wenxiang was out of life-threatening condition, but remained unconscious. Even if he awoke, the paralysis may worsen.

“The old man’s condition is not optimistic, Axu, do you think it’s time to…” an elderly man asked Nangong Xu meaningfully.

Nangong Ruyue heard the words, and she suddenly gripped Jian Yufei’s hand tightly.

Jian Yufei’s eyes flickered slightly, what were they planning?

Could it be they were preparing for the aftermath in advance?

Nangong Xu glanced in their direction and said casually to the old man, “The old man just got through the danger period, it’s not suitable to discuss these now. You should all go back, I’ll inform you if there’s anything.”

The old man persisted, “Axu, we can’t delay this any longer. Where is Ansel, I heard he’s gone missing?”
