Noticing Mrs. Li’s change in attitude, Li Huan also felt relieved.
After the meal, Lin Zhiyi had some work to attend to at her studio, so she planned to leave first.
Li Huan and Ren Xiya accompanied her to the door.
Before getting in the car, Lin Zhiyi suddenly thought of something and stopped.
"Li Huan, do you know about the old man’s illness?"
Li Huan and Ren Xiya exchanged a glance, unsure why Lin Zhiyi suddenly asked this.
But they still truthfully explained the situation.
"The previous tests showed brain degeneration due to Albert’s medication. The doctors suggested a conservative treatment because the old man is quite advanced in age, and his heart issues cannot be ignored. Forcing a surgical treatment might overburden his heart and be more dangerous."
In other words, the doctors suggested that the old man should just enjoy his twilight years.
It’s easy for the Gong Family to find people to take good care of an elderly person.
Lin Zhiyi asked, "And now?"
"After he was transferred to the nursing home, his medical records went with him. They conduct regular check-ups based on the situation there, but I’m not too sure about the specifics. No news should be good news." Li Huan replied.
Lin Zhiyi: "Is it possible for him to have hallucinations?"
Regarding the old man’s words at Gong Mansion, the more she thought about it afterwards, the more something seemed off.
Unless the old man had also been reborn, otherwise, what he said to Xingxing made no sense.
If there was no rebirth, what could it be?
Lin Zhiyi tried recalling her past life’s events throughout the night.
Yet with the changes in this life, her memories of the previous life became increasingly vague.
Some she couldn’t even determine if they were dreams of hers or if they had actually happened.
Li Huan pondered for a moment before offering some of his thoughts.
"The old man’s condition, to put it kindly, is just becoming senile. His words might be random thoughts or just fleeting images in his mind."
"Can’t take them seriously?"
"As long as we understand it in our hearts." Li Huan didn’t explicitly confirm.
Lin Zhiyi nodded. It seemed she was overthinking.
Ren Xiya smirked mockingly, "The old man was shrewd all his life, who would have thought he’d become so muddled now. Someone who always spoke cautiously, suddenly talking nonsense, it’s hard to believe."
Li Huan said, "Considering his age, and that medication was never even on the market, we aren’t sure about its effects or side effects."
"Stop thinking about him, anyway, the Gong Family hasn’t mistreated him. They’ve chosen the best nursing home and medical team in Jing City." Ren Xiya said.
Lin Zhiyi nodded, got in the car, and left.
The car’s silhouette disappeared.
Li Huan grinned at Ren Xiya.
"So we..."
"You should have a good talk with your mom, I’ll be off for now. Let’s have a meal together another day." Ren Xiya said.
"Just like that? Aren’t you going to say something to me?"
Li Huan felt a bit let down.
Ren Xiya tiptoed to kiss him, "I’m off."
Li Huan touched his face, smiling so broadly his eyes almost vanished.
...
At the studio.
Lin Zhiyi received a message from Gong Chen as soon as she got out of the car.
He asked her out for dinner that night, saying he would pick up Xingxing early.
Lin Zhiyi replied with an ’okay’ and looked up to see her assistant already standing in front of her.
"Boss, the appointment guests are already waiting. This afternoon, Mrs. Yang and some others have scheduled afternoon tea, and as per your arrangement, the series of jewelry is ready."
"Mrs. Yang is an old client. The people she brings along are always affluent or distinguished, but make sure the jewelry is subtle yet elegant." Lin Zhiyi instructed.
"Got it."
"What’s the background of the appointment guest?" Lin Zhiyi checked her phone, feeling unfamiliar with the name.
The assistant opened her tablet, "Xia Wan, from the emerging Xia Group."
"Xia Group?"
Lin Zhiyi had no impression.
The assistant, excitedly said, "With everything happening in Jing City recently, the most impressive thing about Xia Group is how it has perfectly avoided all the pitfalls, seizing business opportunities amid the crisis. Many people call President Xia a genius."
"A strong woman?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
