At Chen Long Sect
"How's his condition?"
Without wasting any time on delays, Rui had brought Chen Zoe back to the Chen Long Sect for treatment. Seeing his son's state, Chen Zeng anxiously questioned the senior physician, Rui's father, after he took a detailed checkup. The sight of Zoe's suffering shook the cold, stoic demeanor of the sect leader, revealing the father beneath.
"Sect Leader, I… I don't know how to answer that," the physician hesitated. "No medicine is working. It's as if his body is rejecting everything. If this continues, there's nothing more we can do. At most… three more days."
Heartbroken, Chen Zeng stepped into the room and sat beside Zoe. His hands trembled slightly as he gently held his son's hand.
"I shouldn't have let you go… Are you planning to leave your father's side too?"
"Nothing will happen…" came Rui's voice from behind. "I won't let anything happen to him. So please… don't give up on him."
