Chapter 981: Backing Down (6)

Han Zhifan seemed to be stuck in some kind of conflict where he didn’t know what to do. He tightly creased his brows and stood motionlessly on the spot for a long time. He didn’t move until the phone in his pocket rang and he slowly pulled it out. He glanced at the screen and unwittingly realized it was ten in the evening.
The housekeeper was calling. His phone rang a few more times in his palms before Han Zhifan snapped to reality and pressed the button to accept the call.
“Mr. Han, when are you coming over?”
Han Zhifan instinctively thought something urgent had happened to Cheng Han, so he spoke with a slightly anxious tone of voice. “What’s wrong? Did something happen to Hanhan?”
“No…” The housekeeper quickly explained. “…I noticed you left at noon and haven’t turned up at the hospital till now, so I thought I’d ask if you’ll be here later?”
“Ye…” instinctively cried Han Zhifan when he came to a sudden stop after just one word.
Even though the housekeeper spoke perfectly well without any detectable flaws, he guessed Cheng Weiwan probably asked the housekeeper to call and check up on him…
With an illness like this, Hanhan’s life could be threatened at any time. Dr. Luo hadn’t given them any hope that Hanhan could be cured. Cheng Weiwan must’ve really wanted to stay in the hospital to be with Hanhan.
If he was going to the hospital later, she would definitely follow him and make a deal with him like yesterday to come over the next day.
He wasn’t stupid. He could tell she wasn’t willing to do so.
“Mr. Han?” asked the housekeeper over the phone as she couldn’t help but speak up after only hearing Han Zhifan let out a single syllable.
After hearing the housekeeper’s voice, Han Zhifan gathered his drifting thoughts then let out an “Mhm.” Then he calmly replied, “I have some urgent business over here at the office, so I might not be able to make it. Please take care of Hanhan. If anything happens, call me anytime or find Dr. Luo…”
Han Zhifan hadn’t finished but he paused for a moment.
Just as he was trying to figure out how he was going to finish what he was going to say, the housekeeper on the phone spoke again. “Mr. Han, the young master is unwell and he’s unstable. After he woke up in the afternoon, he’s been crying and pulling a tantrum… All we could do was let Miss Cheng be with him. You can’t come to the hospital right now; the wet nurse and I can’t control him. How about we let Miss Cheng…”
Han Zhifan knew what the housekeeper was going to say next.
The housekeeper more or less said what he was thinking. He wanted to let Cheng Weiwan stay with her son in the hospital…
The housekeeper was probably afraid he would get angry, so she stuttered on the phone. She stopped mid-sentence for a moment then said, “…let Miss Cheng stay in the hospital for a little while longer?”
After Han Zhifan waited for the housekeeper to finish speaking, there were a few seconds of silence then he softly replied into the phone, “Do as you wish.”
The housekeeper probably held her breath while on the call, because after she heard him giving her permission, she let out a long sigh of relief. “Mr. Han, please get back to work first. If there’s nothing else, I won’t keep you any longer.”
Han Zhifan didn’t say anything. He lowered the phone from his ear and pressed the button to end the call.
–
Han Zhifan got a call from Dr. Luo three days later to go to the hospital.
During the past three days, Cheng Weiwan didn’t move an inch away from Cheng Han’s side.
