Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

“Thanks.” Cheng Lydia looked up at him and said, “See? It was worth everything I gave, and I have no more resentment in my heart, no more …”

Neither Old Lady Shen nor Shen Ron … resented her at this point.

“I finally saw a real smile on your face, too.” He said.

Cheng Lydia gave a happy angled head, “I’ll be smiling like that a lot from now on.”

“Really?”

“Sure.”

“That would be wonderful.” Gu William brushed his fingertips against the dark circles under her eyes, “Did you hear what the doctor said? Go back and get some rest, come back here when your aunt is a little more stable, and face her in your best light.”

Cheng Lydia nodded, “I’ll be right back.”

Go back and get a good night’s sleep and get yourself cleaned up and refreshed.

She said to Gu William, “Thank you for staying with me so long, you go back to your rest too.”

“You’ve been thanked many times.” Gu William smiled, “Come on, I’ll walk you back.”

Shen Ron was the first to receive a call from the attending doctor telling him about Cheng Lena’s surgery. But he still asked, as the unknowing when he saw Cheng Lydia, “How was the surgery?”

From a distance, he could see Cheng Lydia with a smile on her brow, unable to hide her excitement.

Cheng Lydia stood at a distance of two meters from him and replied, “The doctor said the operation was a success.”

“Congratulations, then.”

“Thanks.” Cheng Lydia shot him a look, “You’re going out?”

“Well, Ho Gina had a car accident and I need to take care of it myself.” He said, the man already walking out of the house.

In person? Cheng Lydia was slightly surprised, it seemed that The Shen Family was indeed very attached to Ho Gina, even the eldest young master had stepped in.

The Norse house was empty and much quieter than before Amy told Cheng Lydia that the old lady was resting in the house, Mrs. Shen went out to deal with the aftermath of Ho Gina, and Zhang Jane was admitted … to the hospital in a coma due to excessive grief.

Cheng Lydia doesn’t feel anything but some sympathy for Ho Gina’s death. After all, Ho Gina had set her up twice and almost cost her her life.

After washing her face and changing her clothes, she went to bed.

It was a good night’s sleep, and it was 10:00 p. m. when I woke up.

She called the hospital and received a reply that her mother was still under observation in the intensive care unit and was not accepting family visits at the moment.

She sent another text message to Chung Grace, telling her that her mother’s surgery had been a success, and then cleaned herself up a little, intending to go downstairs and find something to eat.

As she walked to the entrance of the spiral staircase, she heard Shen Ron’s voice from downstairs: “The driver of the big truck was found, and it was overloading that caused the brakes to fail; the driver’s family has an old man and a young woman, and they are so poor that they can’t even get 10, 000 yuan, so the claim is basically hopeless.”

The old woman sighed, “What’s the point of claiming more when people are dead?”

The old lady continued, “Before she died, Gina was still complaining that I didn’t look at her properly and didn’t marry her to you.

“I will.” Shen Ron promised.

Cheng Lydia walked down and asked politely, “Grandma, what’s keeping you up so late?”

The two men in the living room turned their faces at the same time, and when they saw her, the old woman asked with a smile, “I heard your mother’s surgery was a success?”

“Yes, and thanks to Grandma for giving my mother the opportunity to have this surgery.” Cheng Lydia turned to Shen Ron and asked out of courtesy, “How is the aftermath of Ho Gina being handled?”

“It’s basically taken care of.” Shen Ron replied.

“Gina is dead, so it’s kind of like the gods are giving you a pass.” The old lady smiled bitterly, “Don’t report that God is unfair in the future, it seems that God is still fair today.”

Cheng Lydia looked at the old woman’s reluctant look and smiled lightly.

Yes, today it seems that the gods have been kind to her, taking away Ho Gina, who tried to kill her in every way possible, while sending her mother, her only family.

She knew that the old woman didn’t miss Ho Gina, and she knew that she had a grudge against her, believing that she had indirectly forced Ho Gina to die, but none of that mattered, and she didn’t care.

During the week, Cheng Lydia spent most of her time with her mother, rarely coming back to Shen Mansion for overnight stays, and there was essentially no communication between her and Shen Ron.

It was a rare occasion that we stayed together again tonight, and still went about our business and slept in separate rooms.

The next morning, it was still Shen Ron who took Cheng Lydia to the hospital. When the car pulled up in front of the hospital, Cheng Lydia hesitantly turned her head to look at Shen Ron as she pushed open the car door.

She wanted to ask Shen Ron to go with her to see her mother, to do her filial duty as a daughter, but he was just looking down at the CDs in the cabinet and had no intention of going up with her.

Cheng Lydia eventually gave up on this idea of her own and got out of the car abruptly and left.

After the seat beside him was vacant, Shen Ron stopped picking out the CD and raised his eyes to watch her departing back until the slim back disappeared completely inside the hospital gate before starting the car and leaving.

Cheng Lydia enters the ICU in a protective suit and sits down at her mother’s bedside.

She could not stay long and every minute seemed extra precious as she took Cheng Lena’s hand and called out softly, “Mom …”

Cheng Lena in the hospital bed did not respond and Cheng Lydia was not worried because the doctor said it was normal.

She called out again, full of longing, “Mom, when you wake up, I’ll never be that silly girl who doesn’t even know who she is anymore, and you’ll tell me about the past won’t you?”

She was sure her mother wouldn’t forget everything like she did, and the attending doctor said there would be basically no memory loss.

It wasn’t that she necessarily wanted to know her past, but it was better to have the chance to know than not to know.

Cheng Lena had been in a coma, and Cheng Lydia was afraid to speak much for fear of disturbing her rest, so she just kept sitting quietly at the bedside watching her.

At the door of the ward, Mrs. Yang pushed the sunglasses on her face and craned her head to Aimee, who looked aside and said, “It looks like the operation was a real success.”

“Yeah, Ms Cheng told me herself.” Aimee said.

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Young asked again, “Why isn’t Gu William here today?”

“How can Gu William be good enough to come every day if Ms Cheng doesn’t accept.”

“Really … can’t chase a girlfriend at all.” Mrs. Yang angrily rebuked in a good-natured manner.

In order to create opportunities for Gu William, she herself lied about not showing up at the hospital during the surgery by claiming to be out of the country, and also put pressure on Shen Ron not to come.

Because she understood that Cheng Lydia must have been most helpless and in need of companionship at that time, and Gu William’s appearance was undoubtedly a warm current implanted in her heart. As long as a normal woman is touched, she will be touched.

The door to the ward opened and Cheng Lydia stepped out.

Mrs. Yang adjusted the smile on her face and stepped up, taking Cheng Lydia’s hand as soon as she could, “I’ve inquired from the attending doctor, and the surgery was said to be a success.”

“Yes, the doctor said he should wake up the day after tomorrow.”

Mrs. Yang’s heart sank, but her face was a surprise: “Really? The doctor really told you that?”

“Hmm.”

“That’ll be great, you can finally talk and chat with mommy.”

“Not really.” Cheng Lydia grinned, “I was just telling my mom that when she wakes up, I’m going to make sure she gets a good story about my past.”

Aimee didn’t move to help Mrs. Yang’s arm, afraid that Mrs. Yang might fall down.

Mrs. Yang did almost go weak in the knees, but she didn’t really go soft, the smile on her face held up already showing reluctance as she said, “Yes, your mother knows more about your past than I do.”

“Godmother, do you want to go in and see her?” The excited Cheng Lydia did not feel the pounding of Mrs. Young’s heart.

“Good.” Mrs. Yang nodded and walked with her inside the ward.

On the third day after her surgery, Cheng Lena finally woke up.

Cheng Lydia was eating in the first floor cafeteria when she received the news, and she hurriedly put her dishes away and drew a piece of paper to wipe the corner of her mouth as she rushed upstairs, impatient to see her mother soon after she woke up.

In the five years she could remember, she had never seen her mother awake, and was naturally thrilled to suddenly receive the news that she had woken up.

Cheng Lydia stepped in just before the elevator closed, almost bumping into someone inside because she stepped too quickly. She was stunned for a moment and instinctively lowered her head to apologize, “I’m sorry.”

A faint, familiar male scent hit her nose and she lifted her head in surprise that the man standing in front of her was indeed Shen Ron.

Why did he come here? Is he going to see Yang June?

At that moment Shen Ron was also looking at her, a calm and bland expression on his face, before spitting out half a sentence, “What floor are you going to?”

Cheng Lydia then remembered that she hadn’t pressed the floor yet, and turned around to press the floor number. She noticed that the number of Yang June’s building was not lit up, so she looked back at him and asked, “Why didn’t you press it either.”

“I … haven’t had a chance to press it yet.” Shen Ron walked over and pressed the button for the floor Yang June was on.

The elevator went straight to the eighth floor, and Cheng Lydia wanted to tell him the good news that his mother had woken up, but then she thought that people might not even care, and dismissed the idea.

The elevator doors re-closed and went straight up to the top floor, where Shen Ron stood frozen for a moment before stepping out.

Cheng Lydia rushed to her mother’s bed as soon as she entered the hospital room, took her hand and called out joyfully, “Mom …”

Before she entered Cheng Lena’s eyes were closed, quiet and peaceful as usual, and her eyelashes fluttered slightly when she heard Cheng Lydia’s cry of ‘Mom’ come out.

This small improvement, however, delighted Cheng Lydia and was followed by a call, “Mom, can you hear me? It’s Lydia.”

Cheng Lena’s eyelashes fluttered more frequently, clearly struggling to open her eyes, the light in the room had been deliberately dimmed, but perhaps she had slept too long and still found it difficult to adjust to the light outside.

Cheng Lydia smiled and soothed, “Mom, you don’t have to rush, take your time, you can always see things.”

She knew her mother could hear her words because tears were sliding down the corners of her dry eyes, and at this time, she must be in tears with excitement as much as she was, she thought.

Cheng Lena was awake for a short time this time and fell back asleep in less than an hour.

It was nighttime again when Cheng Lydia was moisturizing her lips with a cotton swab when Cheng Lena opened her eyes sulkily to see her daughter whom she hadn’t seen in five years.

Tears instantly came to her eyes, she didn’t know how long she had slept for, but she could guess from Cheng Lydia’s already much more mature face that it must have been a long time.

She remembered the last time she’d seen Lydia as a young high school graduate, completely lacking the maturity and pallor on her face at this point. Without further words, she knew that she must have dragged her daughter down with this sleep.

“Mom, don’t do that, you’re making me want to cry along with you.” Cheng Lydia grabbed her hand, tears filling her eyes as well.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
