Chapter 503: Chapter 510: Guessing Who it Is
Even if it might make Han Yu more worried and pained, they must tell him; after all, Han Yu is Su Wenyue’s husband and has the right to know everything about her. Moreover, Feng Jianling feared that Han Yu might delay the search due to misjudging the situation, a circumstance they could not allow to happen.
Even if Han Yu felt profound disappointment, he still managed to remain composed. He couldn’t afford to lose his cool; his wife was counting on him. Besides, the concern and anxiety in Feng Jianling’s words were evident, and Han Yu could tell that something bad had happened, something to do with his wife.
“Big Brother Feng, please speak.”
“Here’s what happened: while my men were out looking for Miss Yue, they came across another piece of news. Miss Yue has been somewhat frail, and yesterday, she developed a high fever. That mysterious man in black called for a doctor to treat Miss Yue. However, her illness was rather severe, and the old doctor’s medical skills were limited, so at that time, it was suggested that the man in black should find a better doctor in the city. So, I guess the man in black might have left to take Miss Yue to see a doctor,” Feng Jianling briefed Han Yu on the situation, and he had also brought the old doctor who had treated Su Wenyue.
“My wife is sick, and seriously so?” The first thing Han Yu picked up on was not Su Wenyue’s whereabouts, but the extent of her illness. A deep furrow formed between his brows, and worry was evident on his face. After such a difficult time, besides his wife’s safety, his greatest fear was that her frail body couldn’t withstand such ordeal—and now, his fears had materialized.
“I’m not exactly sure about the details. You should hear what the old doctor has to say.” Feng Jianling said as he led the old doctor in.
The old doctor had just treated a patient last night, stayed up all night, and finally caught some sleep; he had just woken up when he was sought out by another group. However, since Feng Family Manor had a good reputation in the area, the old doctor wasn’t too worried. He had a clear conscience and never did anything dishonorable, so he wasn’t afraid of being approached. He hadn’t expected to be searched out because of that girl from yesterday.
“Doctor Hu, can you tell us about last night’s situation? What happened to my daughter-in-law? Did she catch a chill, or was it a fright that caused her fever?” Han Yu hurriedly inquired, urgency and concern obvious in his tone. Even though he hadn’t found Su Wenyue, his pursuit had given him a general understanding of his wife’s condition, leading him to speculate, which was more or less accurate.
“So, that girl is your wife, huh? I knew something was off,” the old doctor had felt that the man in black wasn’t a good person, acting brashly and showing no respect for elders. But thankfully, he wasn’t entirely rotten. It turned out he was far from a good person, having abducted another man’s wife—that could not be the deed of a good person. This young man was quite pitiable, with his wife taken away.
Thinking this way, the old doctor’s gaze towards Han Yu was filled with sympathy and pity.
But Han Yu couldn’t care less about these things; he wasn’t in the mood to analyze why the old doctor had said what he did. He was only worried about his wife’s health: “Doctor Hu, please, tell us quickly, how is my wife? Is her illness severe?”
Seeing Han Yu like this, the old doctor didn’t delay any further and stroked his beard: “Indeed, it’s quite serious. She had a high fever. By the time I got there, she had already been unconscious for a day, delirious with fever. She hadn’t seen a doctor in time, and if things had gone poorly, even if her life was saved, she might have ended up with brain damage from the fever. That’s why I thought that brute was so careless, waiting until the patient was in such a state before getting anxious. It’s not surprising now, since she isn’t his wife.”
