The morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the bedroom.

Lin Fei dressed up, washed up, and then, as if he remembered something, opened the wardrobe and found the travel bag he brought from Kunlun Mountain.

From the travel bag, he took out a stack of marriage documents, found Chen Wuyue's marriage document, and put it into his pocket.

Lin Fei decided that after school today, he would go to the Chen family to return the marriage document.

A few minutes later, Lin Fei finished his breakfast, sat in the Mercedes driven by Leng Ying, and headed to Capital City University.

Lin Fei returned to Class 2 of the medical department, only to find that Deng Ziyu was not in class today.

Looking at the time, the class was about to start.

He couldn't help but think: Deng Ziyu rarely skips class, could something have happened to her today?

Thinking about this, Lin Fei walked out of the classroom and took out his phone to call Deng Ziyu.

After a few rings, Deng Ziyu answered the call, and Deng Ziyu's voice came through: "Hello, Li Fei, what's up?"

Lin Fei heard that Deng Ziyu's voice seemed a bit choked, so he asked, "Deng Ziyu, are you crying?"

"I'm not. Just tell me why you're calling." Deng Ziyu immediately denied it over the phone.

Lin Fei said, "I noticed you didn't come to school, so I called to check on you."

"I'm not going to school today. My grandfather is seriously ill, and I have to take care of him." Deng Ziyu's voice over the phone was filled with sadness.

Lin Fei couldn't help but ask with concern, "Deng Ziyu, is your grandfather very ill?"

"Yes, he has vomited blood several times since last night. The doctor said he might not last for three days." On the phone, Deng Ziyu finally couldn't hold back and started to cry softly.

"Deng Ziyu, tell me your home address. I'll come over now to see your grandfather. Maybe I can treat his condition," Lin Fei said over the phone to Deng Ziyu.

"Lin Fei, thank you for your offer, but my grandfather's situation is beyond what us medical students can heal." Deng Ziyu clearly didn't believe Lin Fei could cure her grandfather's severe illness.

Lin Fei knew that even if he claimed he could cure her grandfather, Deng Ziyu was unlikely to believe him.

So, Lin Fei said to Deng Ziyu, "Well, Ziyu, even if I can't cure your grandfather's illness, can I still come to see you out of concern?"

On the other end of the phone, on a balcony at the Deng family's villa, although Deng Ziyu's eyes were red and tearful, she was suddenly moved by Lin Fei's words.

A blush appeared on her beautiful face, and her heart started racing inexplicably.

Yesterday she had been troubled by rumors about Lin Fei and Su Xiaoyue being together.

But she didn't expect that only a day later, Lin Fei was so concerned about her, which made her indescribably happy.

She nodded and said into the phone, "Okay, I'll give you the address now..."

After hanging up, Deng Ziyu felt indescribably happy.

But thinking about her grandfather's severe condition, she furrowed her brows and looked worried.

Just then, someone knocked on her door: "Miss, Madam said that Young Master Chen is here to see you downstairs."

"I know, I'll be right there." Deng Ziyu replied to the servant outside the door.

Deng Ziyu walked out of the bedroom and headed to the living room.

Sitting on the living room sofa was a well-dressed, elegant-looking woman, who was Deng Ziyu's mother.

Sitting on the sofa was also a handsome young man, Chen Lin.

Both Madam Deng and Chen Lin had worried expressions on their faces.

"Auntie, my parents heard that Grandpa Deng was ambushed and seriously injured by Marquis Wuying and the experts he hired while seeking a cure for Grandpa Chen. They sent me to check on Grandpa Deng." Chen Lin said heavily to Madam Deng.

"How is Grandpa Deng's condition now?"

Madam Deng sighed and said, "Not good. This time, the patriarchs of our Deng, Chen, and Liu families all got into trouble. Someone deliberately framed our three families; otherwise, nothing would have happened to us."

Chen Lin nodded: "It's all the work of the Wu family. Of course, the Duan, Liang, and Ding families are definitely involved too. Our Chen, Deng, and Liu families will certainly not be defeated by them."

"Mom, Chen Lin." Deng Ziyu came over and greeted her mother and Chen Lin.

They both nodded to Deng Ziyu.

Deng Ziyu asked Chen Lin, "Chen Lin, how is Grandpa Chen's condition now?"

Chen Lin frowned and said, "The doctor says, fortunately, my grandfather has strong Inner Power and is a soldier with extraordinary willpower. Even though he's in a coma from serious poisoning, he's stubbornly resisting and that's why he's still alive.

"But the doctor said that at most, he will last through tonight, otherwise his life would be in peril."

Saying this, Chen Lin's face showed a painful expression.

Deng Ziyu's eyes reddened, tears streamed down her face as she said, "The doctor told us too, my grandfather can last only up to three days. Without miraculous medicine, not even a deity could save him."

Chen Lin looked shocked: "Has Grandpa Deng also... been poisoned with the Heart-devouring Palm?"

"Yes, Ziyu's grandfather, like your grandfather, was struck by Liang Yunhu's Heart-devouring Palm," Madam Deng said, eyes filled with hatred.

"It's reported that there's a renowned doctor named Hu Qinghai in the Capital City, whose medical skills are unparalleled, capable of miracles. Your Uncle Chen and Deng Han have already gone to personally invite Doctor Hu, hoping he can treat Ziyu's grandfather's serious injury."

"Hu Qinghai is indeed the medical king of the Capital, but my grandfather had a grievance with him before. When my grandfather was seriously injured, my dad went to ask for his help, but he refused to treat my grandfather," Chen Lin said worriedly. "I don't know if Hu Qinghai will refuse to treat Grandpa Deng."

Madam Deng and Deng Ziyu also showed worried looks.

Just then, a car sounded from outside, and Madam Deng immediately looked towards the door and said, "Could it be Deng Yuan and Han'er are back?"

Deng Yuan was her husband and the only son of Master Deng.

Soon, footsteps were heard, and a bodyguard brought Lin Fei in. The bodyguard said to Deng Ziyu, "Miss, Young Master Li is here to see you."

Deng Ziyu's eyes lit up with joy when she saw Li Fei; she hadn't expected Lin Fei to really come to the Deng family to see her, which made her heart inexplicably sweet.

Madam Deng also curiously sized up Lin Fei. In her eyes, Lin Fei's appearance was only just above average and couldn't compare to the handsome Chen Lin.

But this Lin Fei, standing confidently in the living room, calm and composed, exuded a unique demeanor that naturally garnered good impressions.

You could say Madam Deng had a favorable impression of Lin Fei.

After dismissing the bodyguard, Deng Ziyu indicated her mother as she introduced Lin Fei: "Li Fei, this is my mom."

Li Fei nodded slightly to Madam Deng: "Hello, Auntie."

Madam Deng showed a slight smile: "Young Master Li, are you a classmate of Ziyu's?"

Lin Fei replied, "Yes, Auntie."

At this point, Chen Lin said to Madam Deng from the side, "Auntie, he's the one who saved Ziyu that night from Wu Yuqing."

Chen Lin had learned about this from Deng Ziyu the day before.

He noticed Deng Ziyu's feelings for Lin Fei, so he intended to create more opportunities for Lin Fei and Deng Ziyu in front of Madam Deng.

Madam Deng immediately looked at Lin Fei appreciatively and said, "So you're the one who saved Ziyu. Please, have a seat!"

Lin Fei was a bit taken aback; he hadn't expected Madam Deng to consider him a lifesaver so quickly.

Even though he saved Deng Ziyu from Wu Yuqing that night, he didn't intend to be showered with gratitude.

Fortunately, at this moment, there was another car sound outside, and an old servant came in, full of joy, saying to Madam Deng, "Madam, the master and the young master have brought Doctor Hu here. The master asked me to inform everyone to go outside to welcome Doctor Hu."

Madam Deng was overjoyed and said, "That's great! Let's all go out to give Doctor Hu a warm welcome, including the servants."
