Song Zhi’s foul mood lifted slightly when he saw the text message.
Zhu saw Song Zhi checking the phone, so he asked the latter while putting away his ID. “Did Miss Ning finally contact you?”
Song Zhi turned off the screen. “Uh huh. Let’s go to the airport.”
“Is she coming with us?” Even though Zhu had an inkling of what the answer was, he could not resist asking.
Song Zhi pursed his lips and scoffed. “Ning is different. If we keep forcing her, it will just work against us.” Nothing had changed about her during all these years.

This was the reason he had insisted upon not calling her and simply passed his name card to Huo Yanxi.
Zhu touched his nose and did not continue probing.
As long as Song Ning was willing to visit Old Master Song, they would have a greater chance of convincing Miss Huo to treat him.

The two of them boarded the flight for the capital. Old Master Song’s condition was rather stable. Since there were no complications, Song Zhi felt relieved.

Huo Yao received a text message from Chen Ming the next day about her parents coming to the capital.
When Huo Yao learned about her parents’ trip to the capital, she was completely unsurprised.
From the moment she refused to take any calls from the Song family, she already knew this would happen.
Huo Yao pondered briefly before calling Chen Ming and telling him a few things.
Song Ning and Huo Jinyan arrived in the afternoon and went straight to the hospital without contacting anyone from the Song family ahead of time.

Chen Ming did as Miss Huo ordered. After giving Song Ning and Huo Jinyan Old Master Song’s room number, he waited downstairs.
No one from the Song family was at the hospital at the time.
Even if any of them were around, they had to be sent away.

The visit went smoothly. After Song Ning put on the sterile hospital gown, she entered the hospital ward. When she saw her father lying on the sickbed with a respirator, she looked upset.
Song Zhi was spot on. Blood was blood. No matter what happened between them in the past, they would always be family.
Song Ning finally left the hospital ward after standing there for over ten minutes.

Huo Jinyan was waiting outside when she came out. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Song Ning shook her head.
She looked far from fine. From the moment she caught wind of her father’s condition, she had remained sleepless.
1
Song Ning was not exactly sad. Her father had heartlessly driven her out of the family, so she had been angry with him all these years. Now that he was suddenly terminally ill, she did not know how to feel about him.
1
“I asked the doctor. He confirms that your father’s condition is critical.” Huo Jinyan updated his wife about what he learned from the doctor.
Song Ning raised her head and looked through the glass window. After some time, she veered her eyes and looked down. “Well, everyone has to die one day.”

Huo Jinyan embraced her by the shoulder and pulled her into his arms. “Don’t worry.”
“I will try.” Song Ning nodded. “Let’s go.”
Before long, the two of them went downstairs.
When Chen Ming saw they were done visiting Old Master Song, he told his subordinates to leave and drove them back to the villa.

By the time Song Qi and Song Zhi learned of Song Ning’s visit to the hospital, it was already afternoon.
“Didn’t you plant men at the hospital? Why didn’t anyone notify us?” Song Qi stood outside the hospital ward looking at Song Zhi frustratedly.
If she did not go to the hospital to check on her father, she would never have known about Song Ning’s visit.

“Someone knocked out my men and dumped them at the emergency exit.” Song Zhi looked furious.

The moment Song Qi heard this, she recalled the men who came for Song Ning all those years ago.
Every single one of them looked like they were thugs.
