414: It's A Small World

It's A Small World

Chu Wuyou was slightly startled to see Ye Lanchen moving away to answer the call.1

She vaguely heard him calling the person on the other end of the phone his eldest sister.

In fact, she also saw the caller ID that flashed on his phone earlier. It was from Zhuo Annan.

This name was not unfamiliar to her. Back when she was suffering from a hemorrhage during the birth delivery, Elder Sister Hongling called this woman to the rescue.

She would have died years ago if not for this doctor.

Why would Zhuo Annan call Ye Lanchen? Was this the same person that she knew?

Not to forget that he called her eldest sister.

She was suddenly reminded that Second Young Master Zhuo was also a doctor. He was probably Zhuo Annan's younger brother if she remembered correctly. The Zhuos came from a family of doctors.

It was probably the same person they were talking about then.

The brows on her forehead twitched into a slight frown. The man was speaking into the phone with his back against her. She rose to her feet and headed for the bathroom.

Chu Wuyou did not want to eavesdrop on his conversation thus she entered the bathroom and closed the door behind her. She overheard him speaking just seconds before she did that.

Ye Lanchen said that he would send someone's details over, most probably to Zhuo Annan.

Whose details was he talking about?

However, she did not think too much into it. Elder Sister Hongling found the doctor back then thus she was not too familiar with the latter. They only had several brief exchanges, mainly concerning her medical condition.

Despite that, she was aware that this woman was an extraordinary doctor. Perhaps he was trying to get her assistance to check up on someone and thus she required the patient's details.

She shut the bathroom door before turning on the faucet and began washing up.

He heaved a sigh of relief upon knowing she had left for the bathroom but still spoke in a low voice nonetheless. "Eldest Sister, you do think her condition is treatable, right?"

He had never been this anxious about anything else in his life. He would not have said anything like this normally or even wasted his breath on posing another question.

"I really hope so since she's your wife. Don't worry, I'll try my best." The woman took this matter seriously because she knew the man truly cared about his wife. Besides, the situation with the Ye family was rather complicated. Elder Ye would never agree to the relationship upon learning about the young man's wife infertility.

Zhuo Annan was familiar with how domineering and unreasonable Elder Ye was. Back then, if Ye Lanchen had not sought for her help to bring Aunt Meng away secretly, perhaps both the mother and the child's life would be in peril. 

Aunt Meng was not to be blamed at all for the things that happened back then. The Ye family should be held responsible but Elder Ye shifted all the blame onto Aunt Meng. Eventually, the old man even chased her out of the house and she was prohibited from seeing her son ever again. 

Zhuo Annan remembered that incident had happened in the cold winter. Ye Lanchen stood in the snow the entire night stubbornly without shedding one tear.

He was only nine years old when that happened. He was so tiny and frail.

Now that he finally found someone he really liked, she did not wish for anything to come between their marriage.

"Send me her details first and we'll talk again after I get a better picture of the situation." Her voice was laced with a hint of sadness as she was reminded of the horrible things that happened in the past.

She wished this young man all the happiness in the world. She wanted to help him and she was determined about this.
