Chapter 1634: Don't say a single word!
Soon, eight female experts set off from the Ye family's private hospital and headed to the Buckingham Hotel in Yanjing.
Tang Sihai and Ye Zhangmin also hurriedly rushed over from the Ye family.
At this moment, Helena was leaning against the soft headboard, her face full of weakness.
She hesitated for a long time while holding her phone before sending a video call request to her mother far away in Northern Europe.
There was a six-hour time difference between the Nordic country and Yanjing; 1:00 PM Yanjing time was exactly 7:00 AM Nordic time.
Based on Helena's understanding of her mother, she must have already woken up.
Soon, the video connected, and on the other end, Helena's mother was sitting alone at the dining table eating breakfast.
She looked at Helena and couldn't help but smile: "How does it feel in China? Is there anything you're not used to?"
Helena wanted to say that she wasn't used to anything in China, but she was afraid her mother would worry and feel heartache, so she could only force a smile and say: "There's nothing I'm not used to; everything here is very good."
After speaking, she saw in the video that her mother's breakfast was just a glass of milk, a few slices of bread, and a small piece of butter, and she couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache as she said: "Mom, why are you hiding in your room eating bread? Why don't you go to the restaurant to eat?"
The direct royal family of the Nordic country all lived inside the palace, where most people didn't cook; the royal family had its own restaurant specifically serving royal members.
Helena's mother gave a bitter smile and said: "A widow who has lost her husband has to endure cold looks everywhere here. I would rather stay in my room and try not to deal with them."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but ask: "Helena, how is your body feeling?"
Helena hesitated slightly, smiled faintly, and said: "I'm doing quite well, you don't need to worry about me."
After saying this, Helena struggled for a moment, but still couldn't help but say: "By the way Mom, today I met Ye Feng's cousin, and he seemed to see at a glance that my body was not well."
"Really?" Helena's mother became nervous all of a sudden and blurted out: "If the Ye family knows you are suffering from a serious illness, they will definitely call off the marriage, right?"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red, tears couldn't stop flowing, and she choked up: "Helena, Mom really doesn't want you to return to this place. If you come back here, they will only try every possible way to squeeze out your value and your life..."
Helena hurriedly comforted her: "Mom, don't worry too much. Ye Feng's cousin doesn't get along with Ye Feng or even the entire Ye family, so I guess he shouldn't tell anyone else."
Helena's mother breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "That's good... Mom hopes you can live a good life in China. Thousands of kilometers away from the royal family, you can also escape their control and live more freely."
Helena couldn't help but choke up as well, nodding repeatedly: "Mom, you must take care of your own health, don't worry about me."
"Alright..." Helena's mother nodded, remembered something, and added: "By the way, your grandmother's health hasn't been too good lately, so your uncle said that he and your sister have to take care of her around the clock and won't be able to go to China to attend your and Ye Feng's engagement ceremony. They will send your grandmother's butler, Wilkins, to attend on behalf of the royal family."
Helena gave a bitter smile and said: "I agreed to the marriage alliance with the Ye family, and they are too lazy to even attend the engagement banquet. This is too snobbish..."
Helena's mother shook her head and said: "It's not their problem; it's that your grandmother's condition is really not good. She is now bedridden, and the medical team has transformed her room into an intensive care unit, with several doctors and nurses guarding her every day."
Helena hurriedly asked: "Is it that serious? What exactly is going on?"
"It's very serious," Helena's mother said: "The specific situation is very complicated, mainly because she is old and many of her organs are on the verge of failure. I heard that she has at most two or three months left. In the past few days, your uncle has already started secretly preparing for your sister's coronation ceremony."
Helena nodded gently and said seriously: "If Olivia ascends the throne, it's a good thing for us. At least she will remember the sisterly bond between us for so many years and treat you a little better, Mom."
"I hope so." Helena's mother gave a bitter smile and said: "Ever since your father passed away, the royal family hasn't treated me as a royal member. If Olivia inherits the throne, it might not change anything."
Helena hurriedly said: "When Olivia ascends the throne, I will find an opportunity to talk to her. At the very least, I will restore the living standard the royal family gave you when Father was alive. If that doesn't work, I will bring you to China."
"Forget it." Helena's mother said with great heartache: "You haven't married into the Ye family yet, and everything is still an unknown. I won't add to your troubles."
Helena sighed and was about to speak when the doorbell suddenly rang.
She said to her mother: "Mom, someone is ringing the doorbell, I'll go take a look."
"Go ahead." Helena's mother urged: "You don't need to worry about me, just make sure to take care of your own health."
"I know, Mom."
After hanging up the video, Helena went to the door and observed through the peephole, discovering that standing outside the door were actually Ye Feng's aunt, Ye Zhangmin, and the Ye family butler, Tang Sihai.
She hurriedly opened the door and said politely: "Ms. Ye, Butler Tang, why have you come?"
Ye Zhangmin looked at Helena, stepped forward, grabbed Helena's hand directly, and said with a smile: "Oh Helena, Xiao Feng's grandfather heard that you weren't feeling well, so he ordered me to come over and check on you immediately."
As she spoke, Ye Zhangmin asked with a face full of concern: "Helena, how are you doing now? Do you want to go to the hospital? If you need to, just tell me, and I will arrange it."
Helena hurriedly shook her head and said: "Thank you for Old Master Ye's good intentions, but there is nothing seriously wrong with my body. It's just that I haven't adjusted to the jet lag these past few days, and I went to the airport again today, so I feel a bit tired. I should be fine after some rest."
Ye Zhangmin nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes, jet lag is truly the most painful thing. We were also worried that if your body doesn't get enough rest for a long time, you definitely won't be able to handle it. And you also know that we are holding the Ancestor Worship Ceremony the day after tomorrow. The Ye family's Ancestor Worship Ceremony is always very cumbersome; it's no exaggeration to say that it takes a whole day, and you will definitely be even more tired then."
Speaking of this, Ye Zhangmin said with great concern: "So Xiao Feng's grandfather asked me to bring several medical experts from our own hospital to help you do a systematic, comprehensive check-up first, so as to avoid any sudden symptoms due to fatigue on the day of the Ancestor Worship Ceremony."
Upon hearing this, Helena's heart suddenly became nervous.
She knew her condition very well; it couldn't be hidden in front of professional doctors. The doctors only needed to give her an electrocardiogram to see the huge hidden problems in her body through the abnormalities on the ECG.
The Ye family suddenly wanted to send someone to give her a physical examination; Helena naturally didn't dare to agree.
Thus, she blurted out almost without thinking: "Ms. Ye, thank you and Old Master Ye for your good intentions, but there is really nothing seriously wrong with my body, so please don't trouble yourselves!"
