"Lu Hang's wife is here. He came for a check-up, and his wife came along too," A Zhang answered instinctively.

"Didn't they say Lu Hang's condition had no chance of recovery? Why did they suddenly decide to get him checked again?" Zhu Yu, who had been about to leave, turned back upon hearing A Zhang's words and asked.

A Zhang didn’t think much of it and replied directly, "It must be because his family couldn’t accept it and wanted to try one more time!"

Upon hearing this, a calculating gleam flashed in Zhu Yu’s eyes. He lowered his voice and said, "Even after all this, they still refuse to give up? If the results are the same, wouldn’t that just hurt Lu Hang even more? What man could face that kind of verdict? It’s already a miracle he’s held on this long."

"Exactly, we were all worried sick. But—" A Zhang’s tone shifted as he said with a knowing smile, "But now there's no need to worry. No matter the outcome, A Hang will make it through."

Zhu Yu was surprised. "Why?"

"Because A Hang got married! His wife is amazing. I always feel like she’s not your average woman—more like someone trained in some powerful family..." A Zhang, recalling Lin Nannan’s extraordinary abilities, couldn’t help but speculate. Little did he know that his words would raise eyebrows among those with ulterior motives.

Zhu Yu’s expression shifted slightly, but he put on a calm front. "Lu Hang is in such a state—how could he still get married? Isn’t that just being a burden on someone?"

"Not at all! She treats A Hang really well. You haven’t met her yet—once you do, you’ll be impressed," A Zhang said knowingly.

He thought that someone who carried Lu Hang as if he were a child was truly rare, so admiration was only natural. But he didn’t realize that his words had sowed doubts in Zhu Yu’s mind.

...

After the examination, Lu Hang was taken to a hospital room. The doctors were speaking with his family outside, while Lin Nannan stayed by his side.

"The results will be the same," he told Lin Nannan.

Lin Nannan gave a small nod without surprise, then began thinking about how she could obtain the full medical report.

If only she had more Healing Solution left—she could have given all of it to Lu Hang. Not only would it heal his injuries, but it would also make him stronger than before...

But then she'd be in trouble herself.

Not only would it be impossible to explain, but the origins of the solution would also seem suspicious...

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Nannan reined in her urge and decided to take things step by step...

If Lu Hang knew what she was thinking, he would surely tell her: Your "step-by-step" approach is still full of flaws—it’s just that someone is silently covering for you behind the scenes.

Outside the ward, the doctors praised Lu Hang’s family. During the examination, they had noticed that Lu Hang had been meticulously cared for—he had none of the typical wounds or sores that paralyzed patients usually developed. If not for the fact that Lu Hang truly couldn’t stand, they would have thought they had misdiagnosed him.

Zhang Xiaofeng and the others knew that the credit belonged to Lin Nannan. Without her, Lu Hang wouldn’t have been cared for so meticulously.

"Doctor, is there really no hope at all?" Zhang Xiaofeng asked, unwilling to accept the truth.

The doctor sighed. "You already know the outcome. Neither traditional Chinese medicine nor Western medicine can restore his condition."

Even though the family had braced themselves for this, the hopelessness of the answer still left them devastated.

"You’ve been taking excellent care of him so far—just keep it up. I’ll prescribe some medication to slow down muscle deterioration..." Zhang Xiaofeng had stopped listening. She was guided to a chair by Lu Ming, while Lu Fang continued speaking with the doctor...

Compared to the tense atmosphere outside, the mood inside the ward was noticeably calmer.
