Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 590 - 589: The Real Cause of Illness III (Fourth Update)
"Let’s do an examination first." Doctor Dong was also very cautious; after all, this concerned the harmony of someone else’s family.
"Okay." Ji Rui responded, thought for a while, and then said to Doctor Dong, "Doctor Dong, I’ll have someone send the medicines and this unidentified substance we found earlier to the hospital. Can you arrange for the lab to work overtime?"
Doctor Dong immediately made a call to arrange it, while Xiao Li was responsible for delivering a small box of items to the hospital. Meanwhile, the rest of the team continued searching the mansion. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
A few people quickly got busy again. Ji Rui stood aside watching silently for a while, concerned about the baby’s situation, then picked up the phone, walked to the window, and dialed Le Tong’s number.
"Ji Rui? The baby is sleeping soundly and showing no signs of a fever." It was already past one in the morning, but Le Tong’s voice remained clear and bright. Obviously, she had not dared to close her eyes while watching over the baby.
"Alright, if you’re tired, take a nap. Let the specialist nurse help for a while. I may have to work until dawn on my side."
As expected, Ji Rui’s guess was right. They worked tirelessly all night, finally checking every nook and cranny of the mansion.
Among the police officers, one was the team leader.
"Mr. Ji, should we check the garden near the house?" The leader asked very responsibly.
Ji Rui saw everyone had been busy all night, and they were all exhausted, so he waved his hand and said, "No need for now. Let’s see if anything matches with what we have collected first. Thank you for your efforts tonight!"
Ji Rui called in Housekeeper Li and instructed him to keep a close eye on the house’s movements. If there was any suspicious situation, he needed to report it immediately.
After giving instructions, Ji Rui personally escorted several police officers to the parking lot, during which there was another round of polite exchanges. Ji Rui also promised the team leader that he would donate a large sum of money for police station facilities and talent training.
The team leader happily boarded the car with his subordinates, while Ji Rui, along with Doctor Dong, returned to the hospital.
The entire night, Ji Rui made over a dozen calls to Le Tong, roughly every half hour. Each time, Le Tong reassured him that the baby was doing well and there was no need to worry.
At first, Ji Rui suspected that Le Tong might be deceiving him. But upon returning to the ward and seeing his little son sleeping like a piglet, his anxious heart finally eased.
"How’s everything?"
Fearing to disturb the baby, Le Tong pulled Ji Rui out onto the terrace.
Noticing Le Tong only wearing a sweater, Ji Rui took off his coat and draped it over her.
"All the suspicious items have been brought back, and Doctor Dong has arranged for the lab to work overtime. We might get the results as soon as tonight."
As Ji Rui spoke, his gaze never left Le Tong’s face.
Seeing the obvious dark circles under her eyes made him feel heartbroken. Gently, he used his slightly rough fingertips to brush under her eyes, "Why not go home and sleep for a while?"
Le Tong shook her head vigorously without even thinking, "No, I’ll stay here with the baby."
Ji Rui had expected this answer when he suggested it, and sighed helplessly, giving her waist a gentle squeeze, "Sigh, it was hard to gain a bit of weight. Now, I’m afraid you’ll lose it again."
Le Tong snuggled into his arms, "Don’t worry, as Doctor Dong said, if everything is fine in the afternoon, we can be discharged, and I can get a good night’s sleep tonight."
Ji Rui lowered his head to kiss her hair, saying with great guilt, "Today is Christmas Eve, and nothing is set up at home yet..."
Originally, he wanted to spend a lively Christmas with her and the two children, but now it seemed this beautiful idea was about to be dashed.
Le Tong appeared unconcerned, "It’s okay, after the baby takes a nap, I’ll sneak out to buy Christmas presents, and tonight we’ll put the gifts in the stockings. Isn’t tomorrow’s theme park having a big celebration? We’ll take the baby and Nuonuo to have fun, okay?"
Ji Rui thought about it, and this seemed to be the best plan.
However, because the baby had always been with the old man, he never celebrated Christmas. This year, with Le Tong and Nuonuo accompanying him, it was already the biggest surprise and the best gift for him.
"Alright, it’s up to you. I have to go soon. The designer has to leave the country for a competition tomorrow morning and won’t return for a week. I need to go with him to inspect those two plots of land."
"Okay, I’ll have Brother Li buy breakfast. You can leave after breakfast. I’ll sort out everything on my end quickly too. I need to go out at noon, so have Brother Li pick me up."
Having arranged their schedules, they had breakfast. The baby hadn’t woken up yet, so Ji Rui kissed the little guy’s cheek and hurriedly left.
After the baby woke up, he was in good spirits but very sensible, causing no fuss even though he felt comfortable, obediently staying in the hospital. Knowing how busy Le Tong was recently, as soon as he finished breakfast, he took out his computer to play games beside Le Tong, who naturally took out her own laptop to handle her work.
During this time, she held a small meeting with two department heads from the advertising department. After finishing the meeting and closing the video, the little guy, who had been quietly playing games by her side, stared at her as if he didn’t recognize her.
At this moment, Le Tong was in a sensitive state, as if everything was a threat. Seeing the little guy’s unusual behavior, her face changed, and she lifted her hand to touch his forehead. The cool temperature allowed her to breathe a slight sigh of relief.
"Baby, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
The baby continued to stare at her, shook his head, "I’m not unwell, I’m fine!"
Le Tong wanted to ask more, but the little guy said again, "Mommy, you’re amazing."
Le Tong didn’t immediately understand what he meant, "Huh?!"
"Aren’t you Daddy’s secretary? You know so much!"
Le Tong then realized that this little guy might have overheard her meeting with the two department heads and was eager to praise her.
"Mommy is not just your Daddy’s secretary; she’s also his wife! So, I can’t let your Daddy work alone, right?"
The baby looked at her, seemingly understanding but still puzzled, and after a while, he nodded.
"Mommy, I want to call home to find Nuonuo."
Le Tong originally intended to refuse since little Nuonuo, being only over two months old, mostly giggled happily and wouldn’t be able to communicate well with the baby. However, seeing the baby’s strong desire written all over his face and eyes, Le Tong couldn’t refuse.
"Okay, go and use the landline to call."
The baby happily bounced over to the phone and quickly dialed a set of numbers.
Le Tong watched his excited demeanor, feeling the melancholy cloud lifted a little.
She heard the baby calling out "Grandpa" into the phone, and after that, as if the other person was asking about the baby’s condition, the baby kept saying good things, comforting the elderly.
