The CEO’s Pet Cat

It didn’t take long to see an anxious-looking Nangong asked running in hurriedly, his voice agitated, “Hasn’t she arrived yet?”

“Didn’t arrive.” Seeing Nangong ask to come in alone, what little hope Asher had left vanished in a flash, and slammed his fist down on his chair in anxiety.

Li Na, however, took a few steps to Nangong asked, asking without good grace, “Mr. Nangong, I think you should know best where Miss Leng is now, right? Now that everything is ready and she’s cool with the appointment, what exactly does that mean, do you still need grandpa to invite her personally?”

“Miss Lai, what do you mean by that? You mean that condensation she deliberately hid and deliberately delayed the surgery for Grandpa Jun?” Nangong asked, forcing herself to look straight at the aggressive Ri Na, “Then I ask Miss Ri, what is in it for her to do so?”

“She …” Dina stammered for an answer and said in a playful manner, “Who knows what the hell she’s up to, she’s no good anyway… …”

“Enough, if you dare to say one more word, believe it or not, I will throw you out!” With a low growl, Asher looked at Lina with eyes full of disgust and impatience, and forced to suppress his anger again as he asked Nangong, “Don’t rush first, tell us what exactly is the arrangement for today?”

Not ignoring the anger in Asher’s eyes, Leena snapped her mouth shut and sat down on the couch with a huff, but didn’t dare say another word.

Nangong asked, quickly organizing her thoughts, and said quickly, “Knowing that she was going to have surgery today, she had arranged last night for me to go shopping first and then meet up at the villa. She left the house at eight o’clock, and she called me back at about eight thirty to set off to do the shopping.”

“And then what? Did she call you again? Did she tell you about her trip?” Nangong asked after but a slight pause, and Asher couldn’t wait to interject.

Seeing Asher’s undisguised anxiety, Nangong asked with a twinkle in his eyes, still continuing, “And then, there was your call to me, and I rushed over here almost without a moment’s pause!”

His implication was that during that time, Mia never contacted him again!

“What the hell is going on here? And where has she been for the last few hours in between?” Asher was full of anxiety, completely devoid of his usual bemusement and coolness.

Neither of them noticed a glint of sinister and resignation crossed the bottom of Riina’s eyes when she saw Asher’s anxious look, but it was fleeting.

Seeing that Asher didn’t know what was going on either, Nangong asked, jerking towards the door, “No, I can’t stay here, I have to go find her immediately, or else I’m afraid she’ll be in danger.”

“Hold on, I’ll go with you.” Asher caught up with Namgung and asked, pulling out his phone and giving a hasty command, ordering all his men to search for Mia.

Watching the backs of the two men leaving in a hurry, Riina stood up and bit her lips so tightly that she almost bit them to bleed. A pair of long, slender hands were clenched tightly together.

“Nana, where’s Asher? How come it’s gone in a flash?” Somehow, Jun Haotian had already stood behind her, his face full of confusion.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Snapping her hands free and twisting her face around Riina already had a decent smile on her face, “Uncle, Asher and the others seem to be out looking for Dr. Leng? You don’t have to worry, they’ll probably be back soon!”

“This Dr. Leng, coming to operate with the old man and actually … doing it himself,” Jun Haotian shook his head and said with a sigh, “Well, let’s wait until they come back, now I have to go and appease the old man. By the way, Xiao Na, don’t say anything when you go in front of the old man, save him from getting angry again.”

Lina stopped in front of Jun Haotian and advised in an understanding soft voice, “Uncle, you’ve been watching grandpa for so long, it must be hard, why don’t I go watch for you for a while?”

“This …” Looking at Lina who was full of smiles, Jun Haotian was a little hesitant.

“Uncle, are you still not at ease?” Seeing Jun Haotian hesitate a little, Lina said with a pleading face, “Uncle, you also know that Asher has never liked me very much, if I can do something to make him happy, he might be nicer to me. Besides, I really want to take care of grandpa, so just give me this chance!”

After a few moments of silence, Jun Haotian finally nodded and agreed to Lina’s request.

Seeing Jun Haotian agree, a hint of difference crossed the bottom of Lina’s eyes, then she came to Grandpa Jun’s room and quickly changed into a smiling face and said, “Grandpa, you wait a little longer, Miss Leng is not coming over yet!”

“What? I thought we were supposed to operate at eleven thirty, why isn’t he coming over yet?” Grandpa Jun froze, and his face had taken on a different look. He already didn’t have a good feeling towards Mia, and now when he saw that she didn’t even keep her word about doing the surgery, the disgust in his heart was even greater.

Riina hesitated and stammered, “Grandpa, just don’t ask, Asher will take care of everything …”

“Na, what’s going on, are you actually hiding it from Grandpa?” Riina’s stammering look made Grandpa Jun even more suspicious.

After looking around for a while, Li Na finally said aggressively, “Grandpa, it’s not like you don’t know that that Miss Leng looks eight or nine points similar to Miss Luo, and Asher has been protecting her. I saw that she hadn’t come over yet, so I casually said a few words, and Asher got anxious with me. If he knew that I told you about this, he would have blamed me again!”

“Kona, you don’t have to say anything, Grandpa knows.” Grandpa Jun’s chest rose and fell violently, “This Asher, cough cough …”

Before Grandpa Jun could finish his words, he coughed violently, and a face turned red from the violent coughing.

Seeing that Grandpa Jun’s coughing didn’t seem to stop and was getting worse, Riina panicked, “Grandpa, Grandpa, what’s wrong with you? What’s wrong with you?”

Grandpa Jun, however, couldn’t be bothered to answer, just coughing lifelessly, his face growing harder and harder, and one hand kept slapping his chest.

“Somebody, somebody …” Grandpa Jun’s appalling appearance made Lena unable to hold back her screams any longer.

After she screamed for a while, Jun Haotian and his wife quickly ran in, asking with an open face, “What’s going on? How did the old man get like this?”

“I, I also, I don’t know …,” Riina was so scared that her little face turned white, one hand kept trembling slightly, and she couldn’t even speak well. She knew that if something happened to Grandpa Jun, it would definitely have nothing to do with her.

“Haotian, it’s better to rush to the hospital, I don’t think the old man’s condition is good now!” After a moment of contemplation, Lily suggested with a worried face.

Jun Haotian didn’t have time to think and immediately agreed with Lily, quickly finding someone to carry Grandpa Jun into the car and speeding away in the direction of the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital and seeing Grandpa Jun’s condition, the director arranged to go into the emergency room without saying a word, leaving Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian and Lina standing outside the emergency room door, waiting anxiously.

“Uncle, auntie, it’s all my fault, I was going to watch grandpa for a while for uncle, but … oooh …” Riina’s little face turned white, her heart hanging in mid-air.

Grandpa Jun was in the hospital because he listened to her, and if the Jun Haotian couple and Asher found out about this, they would definitely not let her off easily. Thinking about this, Riina was shivering all over.

“Well, Xiao Na, you didn’t mean to do it, grandpa’s health was already bad recently, so don’t take it to heart.” Seeing Li Na’s small pale face, Lily couldn’t bear it and softly persuaded.

Jun Haotian was silent for a while before finally pulling out his phone and dialing Asher’s number with a gloomy face, “Asher, where are you, hurry back to me!”

Lily’s eyes widened in surprise as her husband, who was always more gentle, actually spoke to her son in that tone.

Without waiting for Asher to answer, Jun Haotian hung up the phone with a gloomy face, but his face still didn’t ease up.

“Haotian, what is going on, I see you …” After a long pensive moment, Lily finally managed to ask.

“Let’s talk about it when Asher comes back!” Without waiting for Lily to finish, Jun Haotian interrupted him without a good word, seemingly in a very bad mood.

Lily looked aside at Lena, wanting to say something, but finally not speaking again.

After about half an hour or so, Asher hurried into the hospital and looked at the still lit emergency room and his face changed slightly, “Dad, Mom, what’s going on? How did Grandpa …”

“Then let me ask you, where have you been?” Without waiting for Asher to finish, Jun Haotian coldly interrupted him, “Are you looking for that Miss Leng right now?”

“Dad, she hasn’t shown up for so long, don’t you think something unexpected has happened?” Asher’s face remained unchanged, “If it’s because she disappeared because of an operation for grandpa, we must have a responsibility too!”

Jun Haotian’s voice snapped up, “So you don’t care if your grandfather lives or dies?”

“Hao Tian, keep your voice down.” Lily persuaded in a low voice, “What are you talking about, Asher went to such great lengths for the old man, he didn’t expect this to happen, how can you say that about your son!”

Jun Haotian grunted coldly and didn’t speak again.

Riina’s eyes rolled and she also said softly, “Asher, even if Miss Leng missed her appointment, that’s still her problem, how can you leave grandpa all over the world to look for her? If anything happens to grandpa, don’t you feel guilty?”

“That’s enough, you shut up!” Riina’s words made Asher’s face look even harder and coldly chided, “If you don’t speak, no one will take you for a mute!”

Asher’s words were followed by the door to the emergency room opening and Dean coming out of it exhausted.

Jun Haotian took the lead and walked up, Lily and Asher looked at each other and followed suit. Only Lina, with a pale face, wanted to take a step, but finally did not follow, and just stood in place apprehensively.
