"Didn't they say it was fine as long as you got some rest?"
"That's what the old master intended. He didn't want you to know. If we weren't familiar, I wouldn't be able to tell you these things."
The doctor was also in a difficult position.
"..."
Jiang Ni pursed her lips, remaining silent for a long while.
"The old master instructed everyone not to mention his illness to you, and he didn't expect your return this time. By the time the butler received the news, the old master had already retired to rest. That's why he couldn't inform the old master of your arrival today."
"Otherwise, the old master might have insisted on getting up and wouldn't have let you notice."
"How long will you stay this time? If possible, please spend more time with the old master."
Jiang Ni picked up her coffee, savoring the bitterness that spread between her lips and teeth.
The doctor didn't stay with her for too long; he left after drinking half his coffee.
