After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Doctors Can’t Save Me, Maybe You Can

Lu Sheng had just opened her eyes in the morning when she saw her phone vibrating beside the pillow—it was a call from Li Muchen.

"Baby, did you wake up?"

The man’s voice on the phone was deep and magnetic, only slightly weary probably due to taking an overnight flight and the time difference.

Lu Sheng checked the time and asked on the phone, "Did you just land?"

"I arrived in Suli a few hours ago, now at the hotel," Li Muchen said, "I just thought about your daily routine, figured you’d be waking up about now, so I called you."

After he finished speaking, both fell silent for a few seconds, then almost as if by agreement, they spoke simultaneously.

Lu Sheng straightforwardly said, "I miss you."

The man’s voice turned slightly hoarse and alluring: "...I miss you so much."

After speaking, it was as if both could sense each other’s emotions through the phone.

A sweetness surged in their hearts, but this intangible emptiness of hearing yet not being able to touch brought a sort of indescribable loss.

Perhaps this was the feeling of being in love.

For both Li Muchen and Lu Sheng, everything now was an indulging experience.

Thinking of the message Li Muchen sent before boarding the plane last night, Lu Sheng asked about the serious matter, "What exactly is going on with your grandmother?"

"I went straight to the nursing home as soon as I landed," Li Muchen said, "My grandmother disappeared while she was sleeping at night, and it was only discovered the next morning when the nurse did her rounds."

"I initially thought it could be that she wandered out of her room while not completely lucid, and the nurses didn’t notice. But, the surveillance in my grandmother’s room was tampered with last night."

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but pause her breath for a moment: "...You mean, your grandmother didn’t wander off by herself, but someone actually took her from the room last night?"

"...Yes," Li Muchen took a deep breath, his tone deep, "And if someone really took my grandmother intentionally, it’s definitely targeted at me."

Lu Sheng slightly frowned.

Indeed, no one would lay hands on an elderly woman suffering from Alzheimer’s in Island Country unless it was targeted at Li Muchen.

But with the sudden disappearance of Li Muchen’s grandmother, and no one coming forward, they currently had no idea who the opponent was and what their motives were.

"Could it be done by your uncle?"

Lu Sheng asked, then thought it over and felt it was unlikely, "But your uncle is your grandmother’s son, no matter how ruthless, he wouldn’t harm his own mother, right?"

Li Muchen paused then said, "My uncle is my grandfather’s illegitimate child; my grandmother is not his biological mother, his biological mother passed away a long time ago."

"If it was my uncle who took action, it’s not impossible; it’s just that I’ve deliberately kept my grandmother’s whereabouts a secret, and he didn’t know she was in the nursing home in Suli."

"But just because he didn’t know before, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t know now."

"Anyway, my grandmother should still be in Suli. I have already made arrangements with the local police here, and we will use the city’s police force to find her."

"Now the biggest problem is..."

"What is it?" Lu Sheng asked.

Li Muchen took a deep breath, "The biggest problem now is, my grandmother not only has Alzheimer’s disease. If it was only this disease, I’d have her stay domestically and take care of her myself."

"Besides Alzheimer’s, she has a rare disease called Primary Pulmonary Arterial Paralysis."

"There is currently no effective medicine for this disease in the world, and she must undergo targeted treatment at that nursing home every week to survive, otherwise she could die from cardiopulmonary failure and respiratory distress."
