She had promised Shi Yuting that she would call him in advance, but she didn’t bring her phone with her.
“Okay.” Shen Lanzhi took out her phone and handed it to her. She had intended to call him herself, but after thinking about it, she decided that it was better for Weiyi to tell her son about such an important matter in person.
Zuo Weiyi immediately dialed his number.
The phone rang a few times, but no one picked up.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Lanzhi could not help but ask when she noticed that Zuo Weiyi hadn’t spoken into the phone at all by the time she put it back down.
“No one picked up. He’s probably in a meeting.”
At this moment, Shi Yuting was taking a shower in the bathroom. After changing into a set of clean clothes, he was ready to go to the party in the afternoon.
When he returned to the bed, he saw that his mother had called him, so he called back.
“It’s from Yuting.” Seeing the caller ID, Shen Lanzhi quickly handed her phone to Zuo Weiyi.
Zuo Weiyi took the phone and picked it up. “Hello?”
Hearing her voice, Shi Yuting was a little surprised. “Are you done with the examination?”
“Yes, I’ve been…hospitalized.”
Hearing this, Shi Yuting’s pupils constricted, and his expression changed. “What’s wrong?”
“Are you…very busy?”
Hearing her misgivings, Shi Yuting’s tone turned anxious. “Tell me, what’s wrong with you?”
“After the checkup today, the doctor said that I have pregnancy-induced hypertension and must be hospitalized.”
“Get the doctor here. I want to talk to him on the phone.”
Zuo Weiyi felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill. Wouldn’t it be sufficient to just listen to her? Why did he have to talk to the doctor on the phone?
“But, the doctor isn’t here.”
“I’ll call the doctor then!” Shen Lanzhi heard what her son had said on the phone and quickly stood up.
If her son, who was far away in C Country, could not talk to the doctor on the phone, he would not be able to feel at ease in his heart.
Seeing Shen Lanzhi leave the ward, Zuo Weiyi could not help but speak to Shi Yuting on the phone, “You don’t have to make such a fuss. The doctor said that as long as the operation is carried out tomorrow and the babies are taken out, it will be fine.”
“Tomorrow?”
“Yes, via a C-section.” After hesitating for a second, she still could not help but ask, “Are you going to be very busy?”
“I’m not busy! I’ll rush back this afternoon!”
Didn’t he just say this morning that he would be busy for the next week or so?
“You don’t have to be in such a hurry. It’ll be fine as long as you can rush back by tomorrow morning.” If he suddenly said that he was going to come back, wouldn’t he be leaving behind many open ends?
He also seemed to have a very important cocktail party this afternoon.
“Shenghao?” Shen Lanzhi had just brought the doctor to the door of the ward when she saw a figure standing at the door. Upon closer inspection, it was her son’s good friend, Zhong Shenghao.
Shen Lanzhi did not know about the incident last time, so she thought that Zhong Shenghao had received the news and came to visit Weiyi.
However, they had only been in the hospital for less than an hour, so how did he already know about it?
Zhong Shenghao turned around when he heard her. He felt a little uneasy the moment he saw Shen Lanzhi.
He wanted to sneak a look at Weiyi, and did not expect Ting’s mother to see him.
“Auntie.” He greeted her softly.
“You’re here to see Weiyi?” Shen Lanzhi thought about it. This hospital belonged to him, so it seemed normal for him to know about Weiyi’s hospitalization so quickly.
Hearing Shen Lanzhi’s words, Zhong Shenghao didn’t know what to say for a moment, so he nodded. “Yes.”
“Then let’s go in.” With that, she brought Zhong Shenghao into the ward.
