Song Qi was rushing to get to the hospital, so she simply waved her hand when she heard what the butler said. “Just leave it there. I have to get to the hospital now.”

The butler nodded and acknowledged her reverently.

After Song Qi was gone, the butler placed the packages into the cabinet and went back to his business.

Song Qi arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later.

Song Zhi had already received news from the hospital earlier. He had arrived around ten minutes ago, and was already inside the hospital ward.

The hospital president was standing beside the bed and speaking to him. “Old Master Song is out of critical condition. We will transfer him to a normal ward later.”

“Does this mean my father will recover well?” asked Song Zhi anxiously.

The hospital president nodded. He pointed at the statistics on the hospital equipment and said, “In theory, we expect him to recover. Once the report is out, I will let you know, Mr. Song.”

“Thank you so much,” said Song Zhi politely.

“You are welcome.” The hospital director smiled. “Old Master Song was really lucky to recover on his own. This is quite the miracle.”

Song Zhi looked at his father lying on the bed.

Song Zhi was prepared for the worst when Huo Yao refused to give his father treatment. He really did not expect his father to recover on his own.

Song Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. He walked the hospital president out of the room.

After he came back, he felt a lot better about the situation.

As long as his father was alive, there was a chance to get his father to alter the will.

Song Qi felt relieved when she heard about her father’s situation. She sighed in relief as well. “From the looks of it, our father is fine.” She paused thinking about the incident last night.

After a beat, she continued. “Since Dad will regain consciousness soon, don’t bother doing it.”

She was referring to the inheritance transfer. Chen Ming had told Song Zhi to sort out the estate and hand over Song Ning’s share.

Song Zhi was in a dilemma. He didn’t respond to her. He could not help thinking about how Mr. Zhou urged him to do it twice before he left.

Song Qi knew what Song Zhi was thinking. She said, “Mr. Zhou is just a coward. How could you take his words seriously?”

“It’s not that. I am just worried about the Min family.” Song Zhi looked at her solemnly. “We have to consider the Min family’s stand.”

“Stop thinking about it. Our father will regain consciousness soon. When he does, do you think he would want to split the family estate and share it with someone whom he has severed ties with for decades?” asked Song Qi insistently.

Song Zhi felt that Song Qi’s words made sense as well. Even though he was Old Master Song’s son and they were in a patriarchal society, Old Master Song refused to give him any real power. Song Ning was still a married daughter and an estranged one. He was sure that Old Master Song would never agree to it.

The doubts in Song Zhi’s mind promptly dissipated. He walked out of the hospital ward, called his lawyer, and told him to stop working on the asset transfer.

In the afternoon, Old Master Song’s medical report was out and everything was normal.

Moreover, Old Master Song had regained consciousness. Although he could only open his eyes and was unable to speak at all, everyone felt it was normal.

It took them a few days before they realized there was something wrong with Old Master Song.

Huo Yao did not tell Song Ning about going to the banquet. When she came home, she acted as though nothing had happened.

Since Old Master Song was doing well, Song Zhi did not bother harassing Song Ning to get Huo Yao to treat the old man. Song Ning was puzzled by Song Zhi’s reaction.
