Lu Jiaxin had arranged with Nie Zhan to go horseback riding over the weekend, but on Friday she received a call saying Nie Manlin's situation had worsened. Old Master Nie called and asked Nie Zhan to go to Switzerland immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Nie Zhan leaned against the headboard for a long while before calling his secretary to book the earliest flight to Switzerland for the next day. He didn't want to go at all, but firstly, giving birth was very dangerous; secondly, since the call came from Old Master Nie, he couldn't expect a seventy-year-old man to make the trip.
Seeing his somber face, Lu Jiaxin consoled him, "You should still go and take a look. Once she safely delivers the child, you can come back."
