My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 566 Observation

Meanwhile, Erbao was still in a coma. Ning Ran was sitting right next to her and couldn’t help but sob when she

looked at her daughter’s tiny little face.

“Darling, you must wake up, okay? Otherwise, I would’ve nothing to live for anymore. This is all my fault. I wasn’t

there to take care of you. I should be the one getting punished. Erbao, wake up, okay? If not, I wouldn’t want to live

anymore…” The more Ning Ran spoke, the more heartbroken she became.

She blamed herself for the incident. When Erbao was having a taste of the cream, she was in the shower. By the

time she was done, it was already too late.

Ning Ran didn’t throw the cake out because the maid told her it was from Nan Xing. Nevertheless, she still didn’t

allow Erbao to take a bite of it.

She had been extra vigilant when they were with the production team. However, she didn’t expect something like

that could happen at home.

The nurse present recognized Ning Ran when she saw her. She then approached her and comforted, “Ms. Ding,

everything’s going to be okay. The doctor has already said your daughter will wake up.”

“She’s still so young, and that was such a lethal poison. Will she suffer from the after-effects?”

The nurse had no idea what to say because she wouldn’t know either. Instead, she could only say words of comfort.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Ding. Everything’s going to be fine.”

Right then, Nan Chen entered the room. He held Ning Ran’s hand and urged, “Don’t worry. Erbao will be fine.”

“This is all my fault.”

“No. You’re not at fault. I’d let my guard down. No one expected someone to send a poisonous cake home. If

anything, this is my fault. It has nothing to do with you. I promise you I’ll find out who did this and make sure

something like this will never happen again,” Nan Chen said.

“That was such a lethal dose of poison. Will Erbao’s brain get damaged?” Ning Ran asked.

“No. My daughter is so smart. She won’t get brain damage. Even if there’s an after-effect, I’ll look all over the world

for a good doctor to heal her.”

“Who’s so ruthless? Who would harm my child? Did Qiao Zhan manage to find any leads?”

“Not yet.”

Nan Chen decided to not let her know about Nan Xing’s involvement in the matter. Qiao Zhan was the one who

found out the card used to purchase the cake was his brother’s.

He wasn’t covering up for Nan Xing, but it was just that he knew his brother wasn’t the culprit. Not only does he

have no reason to harm Erbao, but he’s not a person who would do such a heartless thing. After all, he could’ve just

asked someone to do it for him. Why would he buy the cake himself and leave evidence behind? Someone must be

trying to frame Nan Xing. Although he likes to have fun in life, he’s not a power maniac, nor is he arrogant. Hence,

he shouldn’t have many enemies around him. Who is the person framing him, then? Whoever it was, the motive for

such an atrocious act was obvious, and that was to make the Nan family fight among themselves.

If Erbao were to die there and then, it’d still be a deadly blow for the Nan family regardless if Nan Xing had

orchestrated it.

It’d be impossible for people in grief to remain rational, so the probability of Nan Chen hating Nan Xing would

increase.

Even if there was no hatred between them, Nan Chen would still be wary of Nan Xing.

When wariness arose, so would suspicions and skepticism. Once the brothers were on guard against each other,

the trust they had in each other would vanish. They’d hold grudges against each other.

By then, the Nan family would descend into chaos.

That was the exact reason Nan Chen had to keep calm amid the dire situation. He had to make sure the word

wouldn’t get out.

“We must find the evil culprit. How could someone lay their hands on such a little child? Earlier today, the

production team had also received a cake, but I didn’t allow Erbao to eat it,” Ning Ran uttered.

“What? Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“I didn’t think it’d be important to bring it up. Someone sent a cake to us. When I told Erbao not to eat it, she was

quite cooperative, and she didn’t eat any of it. Tang Jing ate some, though. Nothing has happened to her. If the cake

the production team received was tainted, then how is Tang Jing still okay? If the cake she ate was fine, why was the

one we received at home spiked?” Ning Ran gazed at Nan Chen.

“I’ll get Qiao Zhan to question Tang Jing. However, wouldn’t she know what had happened to Erbao if we approach

her? At this moment, I don’t want anyone to know about this yet. I want to get to the bottom of it before disclosing

it to the public.”

“Tang Jing should be in the clear. Since there’s no bad blood between her and me, why would she do such a thing?

If she were to poison someone, she’d need a motive, right? I can’t think of a reason for her to do something like

this.”

“Bad blood isn’t necessarily the only motivator. At times, people would often do it for their own interests. I’ll get

Qiao Zhan to stalk Tang Jing and find out if she’s involved in this. If she is, we’ll look for her again. If she isn’t, then

it’s fine.”

“Mommy…”

Right then, Ning Ran heard a weak voice calling out.

“Darling, you’re awake!” She was elated.

“Daddy…” Erbao uttered.

“Darling, are you feeling okay?” Ning Ran asked worriedly.

“I’m fine. I’m just tired. Mommy, what happened to me?”

“You’re okay now. You’ll be fine.” Ning Ran started crying again.

“Where am I?” Erbao asked.

“We’re at a hospital. You needed treatment because you fell sick. However, it’s all over now. Everything’s fine.”

“How about Dabao? Where is he?”

“He’s staying at Commoner Residence. I’ll bring him here to visit you tomorrow, okay?” Ning Ran said gently.

“Okay, Mommy. I’m so tired. I’ll continue sleeping.” Erbao shut her eyes again.

Ning Ran felt like crying again because she was afraid that once Erbao fell asleep, she wouldn’t wake up again.

Nan Chen gently touched her hand, signaling her to not worry.

Indeed, Erbao was still incredibly weak at that point, and she needed to rest.

That night, Ning Ran couldn’t sleep at all.

The next day, the doctor transferred Erbao to a general ward after telling Ning Ran that her daughter was out of

the woods.

Since Erbao was present, she refrained from asking the doctor questions.

Instead, she and Nan Chen went to the doctor’s office after settling the girl down.

Even though the department head was the one treating their daughter, the hospital’s director was there as well.

“Mr. Chen, please have a seat. Don’t worry, your daughter is going to be fine. In fact, her life isn’t at stake

anymore. She just needs to recover from it,” the department head said.

“Will she suffer from any after-effects?” Nan Chen asked right away.

“It’s too soon to tell. The poison your daughter ingested is rare. Although her organs suffered damages, it didn’t

seem too serious. However, the damages caused might only show up later. Hence, we’d need to keep her under

observation. Judging by her condition now, it doesn’t seem like she’d be suffering from any after-effects.

Nevertheless, we can’t completely rule out any possibility of that happening.” The department head was extremely

cautious with his choice of words. That was the exact reason Nan Chen and Ning Ran were getting even more

worried.

“So she’d still need to be under observation?”

“Yes. We’ll observe her today. If nothing comes up, we can discharge her.”

“I don’t want this to be known by the public. Please make sure everyone in the hospital is informed of it,” Nan Chen

uttered coldly.

“Of course. We’ll keep it under wraps. Rest assured, words won’t get out,” the department head and the director

quickly stressed.
