Ning Shan turned pale with fright. She wanted to call for help, but when she saw that his legs were curled up, she was afraid that the unconscious man would not be able to disguise the disability of his legs, so she first turned him over and lay him down flat, she untied his tie and the first two buttons of his shirt, then poured a cup of warm water and slowly fed him that.
Gu Minghuai slowly opened his eyes. He was stunned for a while before he regained consciousness. He forced himself to sit up and leaned against the headboard of the bed. He asked, "Why are you here?"
Ning Shan did not answer his question. Instead, she asked, "When did you eat your last meal?"
Her expression was really serious. Gu Minghuai thought for a while and answered obediently, "Yesterday afternoon."
Under such circumstances, this person still refused to go downstairs for dinner!
Ning Shan was both angry yet amused. She placed the cup in his hand and instructed him to finish the water. Then, she returned to her room. She took out two milk candies from her bag and handed them over. "Fill your stomach first. I'll find something for you in the kitchen."
Gu Minghuai's lips were pale. He took the candies, put them in his mouth, and watched Ning Shan leave.
Ning Shan poked her head in again. "You don't have any dietary restrictions, do you?"
Gu Minghuai slowly shook his head.
Not long after, Ning Shan brought in a bowl of steaming noodles. There was not much of it, and it looked clear and watery. There were two small veggies and an egg in it. When she saw that Gu Minghuai hadn't touched it yet, she said, "Come on, eat something." She placed the bowl on the coffee table in front of the sofa and said, "Come quickly, it'll be fine after you eat something."
Gu Minghuai went over obediently, picked up his chopsticks, and ate very seriously.
Ning Shan looked at him for a long time and could not help but say, "No matter how busy you are at work, you must eat on time."
After finishing the bowl of hot soup, Gu Minghuai regained his energy. He glanced at her and did not answer.
Ning Shan saw that he did not seem to mind and said anxiously, "It's true. The body is very fragile. You have to take good care of it. When you get sick, it's too late to regret it. My father..." He had stomach cancer.
Gu Minghuai didn't want to listen to her nagging. He interrupted her and asked, "What are you doing in my room?"
Ning Shan was a little embarrassed. She took a deep breath and said, "You mentioned my father's medical fees before..."
Gu Minghuai understood. "Got it. I'll inform my assistant to transfer the money to your card tomorrow morning."
Ning Shan's face was full of gratitude. "Thank you so much. I'm loaning this money from you. I'll return it to you when I earn some money in the future."
"No need," Gu Minghuai refused. He thought for a moment and added, "If you want to go out, just tell the butler directly. He'll arrange a driver for you. It's very difficult to hail a taxi here."
"Okay," Ning Shan nodded and left with the bowl.
Obviously, Gu Minghuai was a man of his word. At eight in the morning, Ning Shan received a message on time. Her bank card had received five million in cash. She clicked her tongue, a bowl of noodles was worth five million. It could be considered the most expensive noodles in history, right?
After going downstairs, Ning Shan found out that Gu Minghuai had gone to his company long ago. As she couldn't thank her benefactor immediately, she had to go to the hospital first.
When she reached the ward, she could hear her father, Ning Zhiyuan, laughing from afar. Ning Shan walked in and asked casually, "What are you so happy about?"
When Ning Zhiyuan saw his daughter, his brows relaxed and he answered gently, "Miss Gao said that you are coming today, so I'm naturally in a good mood."
"There's even better news," Ning Shan said with a smile. "I've collected all the surgery fees. The doctor just told me that you'll be able to operate tomorrow, dad."
Ning Zhiyuan's expression was solemn. He looked at the people on the beds beside him and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He asked softly, "Where did you get the money?"
"My college classmate lent it to me," Ning Shan replied as she tucked Ning Zhiyuan into the corner of the blanket, "Don't worry. Money is just a worldly possession. I'll be able to repay it if I work hard in the future. You must undergo your treatment and return me a healthy dad."
"Okay." Ning Zhiyuan held his daughter's hand tightly with tears in his eyes.
