Chapter 9: Stockpiling (3)

Top Floor, VIP Ward, Hope Private Hospital.

Feng Ran glanced at Lin Weihao, who was gently stroking his little nephew's head as the child sat on his lap, happily nibbling on a pastry.

Having grown up together since infancy, Feng Ran was familiar with every nuance of Lin Weihao's personality.

This man rarely smiled.

He was a figure of reserved composure, his cold and distant aura likened to a calm lake frozen for millennia. Yet today, there was an unfamiliar warmth in his demeanor that made Feng Ran's skin crawl.

Not only was Lin Weihao smiling—genuinely smiling—but he had spoken more today than anyone would believe possible.

Feng Ran stole a glance at his friend's eyes, where a rare softness resided, adding a depth that made one hesitate to look away.

Lin Weihao's sharp, striking features were as impeccable as ever, despite the pallor from his injuries. Instead of diminishing his appearance, the contrast only lent him an unintentional allure, understated but compelling.

While others might be charmed by this transformation, Feng Ran felt the hair on his arms rise in alarm.

Even Lin Yicheng, the little Lin family prince, cast a doubtful gaze toward his uncle.

Did Uncle hit his head too hard?

If Feng Ran could read the boy's thoughts, he would have wholeheartedly agreed.

Leaning back against the headboard, Lin Weihao lazily twirled a strand of his nephew's hair between his fingers. His tone was casual, but a subtle edge hid beneath the surface.

"Little Cheng, tell me more about the sister who saved us. What did she look like?"

His voice was deep, calm, but a faint trace of curiosity hinted at something more, like ripples beneath still water.

The boy's eyes brightened as he eagerly described the "brave sister," recounting her actions with animated gestures.

Lin Weihao listened attentively, the gleam in his eyes growing sharper.

Finally, he asked, "Do you want to see her again?"

"Yes, Uncle! Can I?" Lin Yicheng nodded enthusiastically.

Feng Ran watched Lin Weihao's faint smile and shuddered.

Meanwhile, Lu Nanzhi inspected the medicinal herb seed kit she had purchased. It contained a wide assortment: ginger rhizomes, elderberry, licorice, peppermint, basil, thyme, garlic, and many more.

The sheer variety made it impossible to remember them all.
