At this moment, Zhou Chao was sitting on the hospital bed enjoying royal treatment. Jiang Li held a bowl of porridge, feeding him spoonful by spoonful, while Ling Chen and Lin Wu stood by the bed, watching with ssuspicion.

Seeing Zhou Chao’s rosy complexion, Ling Chen couldn’t help but ask, puzzled, “Boss, are you really okay? You were unconscious for three or four hours this afternoon.”

“Doi look like someone with a problem? Besides, all the necessary tests were done after I woke up earlier. Did anything show up in the tests?” Zhou Chao shrugged helplessly. He hadn’t expected all this knowledge to flood his mind at once. Explaining it was beyond him, so he chose to selectively forget.

Ling Chen pondered for a moment. Indeed, Zhou Chao had undergone thorough examinations, and his health seemed robust. It was baffling why he had fainted. Even when he woke up earlier, everyone was astonished, including the hospital directors.

“Alright then, Boss. I’ll head back now. I cin a hurry, and there are still many things to handle,” Ling Chen said, preparing to leave.

“Go hand rest early. We’ll deal with everything tomorrow. You’ve worried enough today,”

Ling Chen nodded and left the room without saying much. Meanwhile, Lin Wu remained standing in place until he caught Zhou Chao’s eye signal, prompting him to swiftly exit the room.

Seeing Jiang Li’s swollen eyes, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache as he gently touched her, saying, “Sorry for making you worry.”

Giving him a reproachful look, Jiang Li said, “Don’t scarelike that next time. I thought… I thought I was going to lose you.” Her eyes welled up with tears again as she spoke.

“Don’t worry. It won’t happen again. Now go tidy up. You’ve turned into a little kitten!” Zhou Chao teased, ruffling her hair affectionately.

“Pfft, you’re the kitten,” Jiang Li retorted, shoving the bowl of porridge into Zhou Chao’s hands before heading to the bathroom. After all, girls always cared about their appearance.

Watching her walk away, Zhou Chao’s face lit up with a contented smile. Even the porridge in his hands tasted delicious.

Once Jiang Li finished tidying up and Zhou Chao had polished off the porridge, he declared, “Wifey, have Lin Wu handle the discharge procedures. We’re going home!”

“Home? Shouldn’t you spend the night at the hospital and go back tomorrow?”

“I’m fine. Trust me, I wouldn’t joke about my health,” Zhou Chao reassured her, patting his chest a few times. Startled, Jiang Li quickly grabbed his hand.

After sconsideration, Jiang Li nodded in agreement. “Alright.”

Lin Wu acted swiftly, completing the discharge procedures in less than ten minutes. Although the hospital leaders cto bid farewell to Zhou Chao, he declined their offer. Letting them send him off would only attract unnecessary attention.

Soon, Zhou Chao and his entourage of bodyguards left the hospital in their cars. Watching the departing vehicles, the hospital director couldn’t help but sigh, “Ah, if only they had stayed a few more days. Who knows, we might have developed a closer relationship. What a pity, what a pity!”

Upon returning home, they found the three housekeepers sitting on the sofa in a daze, with two bodyguards standing nearby.

“Boss, you’re okay!” Zhou Chao and Liu Zhi exclaimed joyfully as they entered the room.

“I’m fine. You’ve all worked hard. You can go now and take a couple of days off to rest,” Zhou Chao said, gesturing for the two standing bodyguards to leave. “Thank you, Boss!” the three of them said quickly.

Today’s scare was no joke. They were afraid that if something happened to the boss, they wouldn’t fare well either.

After the three housekeepers left and Zhou Chao gave Lin Wu sinstructions, Lin Wu also left with the bodyguards.

“Are you hungry? I’ll make something for you to eat.”

As soon as he mentioned it, Jiang Li’s stomach growled audibly, and her face flushed red. “I’ll take a bath first and eat later.”

Watching her shy figure, Zhou Chao smiled and headed to the kitchen.

Although today’s incident hadn’t becpublic knowledge, it served as a wake-up call for Zhou Chao. He realized he needed to be more careful in the future. With this in mind, he found himself recalling a lot of knowledge about nuclear fusion.

“It seems like I’ll have to accompany Jiang Li back to Jingdu tomorrow,” Zhou Chao murmured as he glanced at the documents lying in the warehouse, already envisioning their purpose.

The emergence of military-grade nuclear fusion meant that energy would no longer be scarce, and technology would advance rapidly into new territories. Who wouldn’t want to see their homeland soar to new heights?

Zhou Chao multitasked, pondering the related knowledge of controlled nuclear fusion in his mind while busily frying the steak. Every now and then, he muttered sinexplicable words under his breath. Luckily, there was no one else around; otherwise, they might have thought his mind was still affected by today’s fainting spell.

As he gazed at the information in his mind, Zhou Chao beccompletely absorbed. Unconsciously, his movements slowed down.

“Brother Chao, what are you thinking? The steak in the pan is about to burn!” Jiang Li, who had already finished her bath, suddenly appeared in the kitchen.

Jiang Li’s voice snapped Zhou Chao out of his trance. He immediately looked down and saw that the steak in the frying pan was already overcooked and was on the verge of burning.

Zhou Chao quickly turned off the heat. “Sorry, I got a bit lost in thought just now. I’ll make another batch.”

“It’s okay, let’s just eat it as it is. It doesn’t look burnt to me,” Jiang Li said, taking a glance at the steak in the pan. The aroma wafted through the air, and she casually grabbed a plate and served herself a piece.
