My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots - Chapter 1893

However, the happiness did not last long before tragedy struck. Old Master Wu seemed to have aged ten years in one night.

“Ever since that girl, Pingting, saw you at the auction, she’s seen you as her idol. Knowing that you were going to apply to the Military Medical Hospital, she also applied, hoping to join the same university as you. When she got her results that day, she couldn’t have been happier. Who could have guessed this would happen? Even though I wasn’t in Emperor District when this happened, I rushed back to Pingting and learned about the entire incident. Miss Nangong, I’ve met countless people in my life, but the moment I first saw you, I knew you weren’t an ordinary person. I know it’s a lot to ask for, but I hope you can help me and Pingting. She’s still so young. She should have a good life. She shouldn’t have to live in a world of fear at such a young age.”

Seeing Elder Wu so sad and so desperate, already in tears as he explained to her what happened to Wu Pingting, Nangong Nuannuan comforted him. “Elder Wu, don’t be sad. Since you’ve come looking for me, I’ll do my best.”

“Thank you, Miss Nangong!”

Elder Wu was a highly respected man, but right now, he was crying like a child.

If Wu Pingting continued to remain in this state of shock, with her life ripped away from her, she might as well be dead.

“Elder Wu, we know each other now. You may call me Nuannuan.”

“Thank you so much! Thank you!”

An hour later, the car finally arrived at the Wu family’s residence.

The Wu family was the most wealthy family in Sea District. In this district where every inch of land was precious, the Wu family owned a manor-like mansion.

The car drove straight through the mansion entrance, entered the courtyard, and stopped at the door.

When the bodyguards saw the convoy returning, they immediately went forward to open the front door.

Led by Elder Wu, Nuannuan followed a group of people into the house.

“What—”

Suddenly, an ear-piercing scream came from inside the house. Nuannuan knew it was Wu Pingting the moment she heard it.

She recalled the time she and Big Brother Chi Yang went to the Jiang District auction. Zhong Qianqian and Huang Yuhan, the two idiots, had mocked her in front of the guests, and Wu Pingting had stepped forward to defend her. Later, during the explosion, Wu Pingting had abided by Elder Wu’s instructions and followed her closely.

It had only been half a year since then. She did not expect to meet Pingting again like this.

It really proved that the world was unpredictable.

When Elder Wu heard Wu Pingting’s scream, he quickened his steps. However, due to his old age, he was unsteady. If not for the help of his bodyguards, he surely would have fallen.

When she entered the hall, Nuannuan saw Wu Pingting shivering in the living room, her hair messy. Her once bright eyes seemed to be masked by fog. Her pupils were large and dark, without any luster. She seemed to be seeing something terrifying and screaming at it.

In front of her, a man holding a Barbie doll was trying to approach her. He looked like he was trying to help her regain her senses. However, Wu Pingting only responded to him with shrill screams.

“Zongxu, what are you doing?” Elder Wu half-shouted.

The man who was holding the Barbie doll turned around.

His eyes were red. He looked at Elder Wu and called out, “Grandpa.”

“I told you that your sister shouldn’t be approached or provoked. Why did you bring her out?” Elder Wu asked, his heart aching.

“I just figured that I knew Pingting best. This was her favorite Barbie doll that I gave her when she was young. I thought she would calm down when she saw me.”
