100 Days of Rebirth: The Loyal Dog of the Cold and Aloof Actress

"Xiao Wan, there's something I want to tell you..."

Before Meng Tingwan could reply, the call was suddenly disconnected. She found it strange, and when she called back, no one answered.

So, Meng Tingwan dialed the phone number at the Meng family's old residence. After three rings, a girl answered the phone.

"I'm Meng Tingwan, is Aunt Guo here?"

The maid immediately said in a tearful voice, "Miss, Aunt Guo fell down the stairs and is bleeding a lot."

"What did you say?!" Meng Tingwan jumped up from the sofa. "Get him to the hospital right away!"

"The driver has already delivered it."

Meng Tingwan hung up the phone, grabbed the clothes beside her, and rushed out the door.

Why would Guo's mother fall down the stairs out of nowhere?

When Cen Yi drove her out, they ran into Nancy.

Seeing that she was also about to go out, Meng Tingwan asked Cen Yi to stop the car. "Xixi."

When Nancy saw her, her eyes widened. "Sister Tingwan, what a coincidence!"

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the hospital."

Upon hearing the words "go to the hospital," Meng Tingwan asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

Nancy smiled and said, "I'm fine. I just burned my arm while doing an experiment a few days ago and went to get it dressed."

Meng Tingwan then noticed that she was supporting her left arm with one hand.

"When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?" she said as she got out of the car.

"It's nothing serious, I can handle it myself."

When Meng Tingwan saw that she was also going to the hospital, she said, "I'm going to the hospital too. We're going the same way, so get in the car."

Nancy thought something had happened to her and was very worried. "Sister Tingwan, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Meng Tingwan opened the back door and pushed her inside, saying, "It's not me, it's my family."

Nancy understood, and the two sat down together in the back.

When they arrived at the hospital, Meng Tingwan was planning to go with Nancy to change her dressing first, but she heard Nancy say, "Sister Tingwan, you should go see Aunt Guo. I'll come find you after I change your dressing."

Meng Tingwan was still worried, "Let Cen Yi go with you."

Nancy couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to take Cen Yi with her.

In the emergency room, only the driver who brought Guo's mother to the hospital and a maid were standing outside in the corridor.

Upon seeing Meng Tingwan, the two immediately approached her, saying, "Young Miss."

"How is Aunt Guo?" she asked anxiously. "Why would she suddenly fall down?"

The driver was unaware and could only remain silent.

Seeing Meng Tingwan's questioning expression, the maid next to her replied, "Today, as usual, Aunt Guo went to the study to deliver soup to the master. She must have missed a step on the stairs when she came back."

Did you miss a step on the stairs?

Could it be because he called himself?

Meng Tingwan thought to herself, but Guo Ma often does these things, how could she have missed a step on the stairs just by making a phone call?

She also called to say she had something to tell me.

He fell down the stairs before he could finish speaking. What a coincidence!

Is anyone coming over today?

Maid: "Mr. Huo has gone."

"Huo Lin'an?"

"Correct."

Meng Tingwan asked thoughtfully, "Does he go there often?"

The maid nodded and answered without hesitation, "Yes, the master often invites him to our house for dinner; he's a regular."

As soon as he finished speaking, the emergency room door opened, and the doctor came out first, followed by two nurses pushing a bed on which lay Guo's mother.

Meng Tingwan didn't have time to think about anything else and quickly asked about the situation.

"The patient is not in immediate danger, but given his age, falling from such a high staircase is no small matter, especially with the head injury, numerous abrasions, and minor fractures. So we need to observe him overnight to see how he is doing."

"So, she won't wake up anytime soon?"

Upon hearing this, the doctor's expression turned serious. "Judging from the current situation, that is indeed the case, so you need to be mentally prepared."

"Okay, I understand, thank you, doctor." Meng Tingwan's heart clenched.

In the entire Meng family, only Guo Ma was truly kind to her.

She was always there for me and my sister when we were little.

Moreover, Guo's mother has worked hard for the Meng family for most of her life, without getting married or having children.

I had planned to arrange her future life before the end of this year, but I never expected this to happen.

The more Meng Tingwan thought about it, the more she felt that this incident could not possibly have been caused by Guo Ma accidentally tripping on the stairs. There must be another reason, which might be related to the matter that Guo Ma was about to tell her.

But what could possibly have caused someone to harbor malicious intentions?

“Aman, you all go back. I’ll stay here and watch over Aunt Guo tonight.”

Seeing this, the maid immediately said, "Miss, this won't do. I'll stay here and let you know if anything happens."

"No need, you should go back. Aunt Guo has been so good to me, it's only right that I take care of her. Besides, I'll hire a caregiver, her condition isn't stable right now."

Seeing Meng Tingwan say this, Aman had no choice but to nod, "Alright, I'll be going now."

"Ah."

After the two left, Nancy returned just as she finished changing her dressing.

Meng Tingwan looked at the clothes draped over her body and helped her adjust them. "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"It's nothing serious. The doctor said I'll just need to come back for two more dressing changes, and then it'll be fine." Nancy was optimistic and didn't think anything of it.

"That's good. Next time you come to change your dressing, just let me know and I'll come with you."

Ever since the incident in the business world, Meng Tingwan has been filled with lingering fear, afraid that those people will come again.

Nancy knew that Meng Tingwan was worried about her, and she felt very happy and warm inside, with a different feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

“Sister Tingwan, I used to only know that my brother was the best brother in the world, but now I think that Sister Tingwan is also the best sister in the world.”

The little girl's soft, melodious Wu dialect gradually dispelled Meng Tingwan's irritability throughout the night. "She has such a sweet tongue."

Nancy smiled sweetly, looked at the person on the hospital bed, and asked, "Sister Tingwan, is this the Aunt Guo you mentioned?"

"Yes, the doctor said she suffered a head injury, has many abrasions and minor bone fractures, and her condition is still not optimistic." Meng Tingwan sat down by the bed and looked at Guo Ma, who had always been kind and gentle to her, now lying here. She felt very sad.

Nancy walked over to her and looked over as well.

Why does this face seem so familiar to her?

Nancy frowned, as if something was slowly piecing together in her mind.

Just as she was feeling lost, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside, and the three of them looked over at the same time and saw Meng Yunting and Lu Ke standing there.

Nancy felt a sudden, inexplicable panic the moment she saw the two of them.

Even the hand holding Meng Tingwan's arm was trembling.

It felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar.

Meng Tingwan noticed her unusual behavior and quickly asked, "Xixi, what's wrong?"

Nancy didn't know what was wrong with her; she just instinctively hid behind Meng Tingwan, muttering, "I...I'm scared."
