Chapter 148
It was getting quiet outside, so I guess the guests were pretty much gone.
The wedding was cancelled, really giving the guests a big surprise, but no one knew why.
The dressing room door opened again and the old woman walked in.
Cheng Lydia tried to get up, but felt her legs were too weak to make any effort.
In a flash, she had been sitting on the floor for over two hours, from the time the guests filled the room to the time they dispersed.
“The floor is cold, go sit on the couch.” The old woman leaned down and took Cheng Lydia up from under the windowsill and helped her to sit on the couch aside.
“Grandma …” Cheng Lydia called out with a light smile.
The old woman nodded at her and after sitting down on the couch opposite her, she sighed and said softly, “The last time we had a wedding banquet was on Ron’s 14th birthday, and it was also after a full house of guests, and we were forced to call it off like we did today. Last time it was because of that woman Liu Cora, this time it was Yang June …”
Another sultry sigh from the old lady, “I’m sorry for your loss, but don’t worry, you’re Ron’s legal wife now and pregnant, Grandma only recognizes you.”
“Grandma.” Cheng Lydia smiled lightly, “Will you leave this to me and Ron?”
“You and Ron?” the old woman scowled at her, suspicion evident on her face, “There’s only one outcome if you let Ron handle it, and you should have guessed as to what it would be.”
Yeah, that’s a result anyone could have guessed, and why wouldn’t Cheng Lydia have guessed it herself?
When Shen Ron arrived at the hospital, Yang June fell back asleep and stayed asleep until two hours later.
And for those two hours, Shen Ron was at her bedside every inch of the way.
When Yang June woke up again, her eyes fell on Shen Ron’s face and didn’t move away for a long time.
After not seeing her for more than four years, Shen Ron has matured and become more handsome than before. However, the doting and loving look in his eyes for her has not diminished at all. With just one glance, Yang June is moved to tears.
“June, you’re awake.” Shen Ron’s voice was soft, as if he was afraid to startle her.
“Ron …” Yang June called his name softly and smiled movingly, “It’s been a long time.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“And yet I get to see you all the time.” Shen Ron took her palm, “I didn’t believe it when they called to tell me that you had woken up, I didn’t think it was true.”
“Even if it’s true, you can’t just leave the bride and run here.” Yang June backhandedly grabbed Shen Ron’s big hand and said in a serious tone, “Go back now, don’t make all the guests wait.”
Shen Ron’s face changed and he scanned down at the white tuxedo he was wearing, he should have changed his outfit and come back.
“June …” Shen Ron opened his mouth and spat out three words with difficulty, “Sorry …”
Yang June shook her head and laughed softly, “No need to tell me you’re sorry, just go back.”
“Don’t say it.” Shen Ron placed his index finger on her lips and smiled gently, “You’re so hard to wake up, let me stay here with you longer.”
The party is probably broken up by this last point, so going back won’t help.
“But …”
“No buts, there’s so much more I want to say to you.” Shen Ron interrupted her with a smile.
Once Yang June heard that he had something to say, she didn’t rush him and looked at him and asked, “What do you want to tell me?”
Shen Ron thought about it and shook his head in disbelief, “There are so many, I don’t know which one to say.”
“Why don’t you tell me about you and her.” Yang June said.
“Her? You mean Lydia?” said Shen Ron, surprised, not expecting her to want to hear about Lydia.
Yang June nodded, “Well, I want to hear it.”
Shen Ron pondered for a moment before saying, “She’s someone who looks seven or eight times like you, and has a personality much like yours, and would have been with her in the first place because of you.”
“Do you love her?”
“I love her.” Shen Ron tenderly brushed his palm over their faces with a serious look on his face, “But I love you more.”
Yang June laughed.
“It’s just that …” Shen Ron hesitated for a moment before saying, “She’s pregnant and has become my wife in name only.”
Yang June was still smiling, only with tears sliding down the corners of her eyes.
Cheng Lydia folded the wedding dress she had picked out with Shen Ron and put it in her closet, washed the makeup off her face and the hairspray out of her hair, and then settled down on the couch alone to watch a movie.
She knew that the mood of a pregnant woman had a great impact on the development of the fetus, and she was afraid that her sadness would be brought to the baby in her womb, as she was looking for a burlesque disc to be watching.
The movie’s protagonists were brilliant and original in their hilarious ways, but she couldn’t stop laughing.
When she managed to fall asleep on the couch, it was eleven o’clock at night.
The door to the bedroom opened and Shen Ron walked in, unnoticed by Cheng Lydia on the couch.
The bedroom was a little dim with only a small bedside lamp on, but he still caught a glimpse of Cheng Lydia sitting asleep on the couch.
He walked over and crouched down in front of her to survey her by the faintest glimmer of light; she was sleeping soundly, but there was still a faint sadness that could not be hidden between her brows.
She must have had her heart broken today, right? He thought.
He took a light, apologetic breath and carefully picked her up, intending to carry her to bed.
Cheng Lydia, however, woke up at that moment, and when she saw that it was Shen Ron, she instinctively jumped and sat up straight from the couch to look at him with a disbelieving look on her face.
He’s back? Shouldn’t he be by Yang June’s side at this hour, when she’s barely awake?
Shen Ron surveyed the surprised look on her face and lifted his hand to touch the top of her hair apologetically, “I’m sorry, I must have let you down today, right? I know nothing I can say now can make up for my sudden departure, I’m really sorry.”
Cheng Lydia smiled bitterly and stared at him, “I heard June woke up.”
“Well, it’s a surprise to be awake all of a sudden.”
“Is she okay?” She asked.
“Good, in good spirits, doesn’t look like he just woke up at all.” Shen Ron replied with difficulty. He actually wished more than anything that Cheng Lydia could scold him severely and resent him, after all, he had made such an unforgivable mistake. The more forgiving she was, the harder it would be for him.
“That’s good.” Cheng Lydia nodded.
Shen Ron wrapped his arms around her and gently swept her into his arms, caressing her shoulder, “It’s my fault for leaving you alone at the wedding today. As soon as I heard that June had woken up, I was so happy that I lost my composure and rushed to the hospital. But Lydia, don’t worry, I won’t leave you and the baby, I’ll keep my promise to forget June and protect you and the baby for the rest of my life.”
Cheng Lydia froze …
What’s he talking about? That they forget June and stay with her?
She backed away from his arms in surprise, sizing him up.
He didn’t look like he was joking, not at all.
But he loves June so much, and now that June has woken up so easily, he actually decides to forget about her? Is it because of the baby in her belly?
“June is going to be so sad. …” She murmured softly.
Shen Ron laughed bitterly, “If I got with her, you and the baby would be sad too wouldn’t you?”
Looking at the pain on him, Cheng Lydia’s heart ached, she knew how hard and painful this choice was for him. Both sides were too much for him to give up, and it hurt to give up either side.
She suddenly felt that the baby had come at a rather bad time.
Maybe it wouldn’t be so hard for him if he didn’t have this kid.
The next day, Shen Ron still went to see Yang June and stayed with her for almost an hour before he went to the office to attend to his business.
Yang June woke up, and Cheng Lydia fell afraid to go back into her ward.
It was obvious that she was on the same floor, but she didn’t go up to see her.
When she returned from lunch with her colleagues in the cafeteria, Cheng Lydia unexpectedly spotted Wang Boyce.
She froze and stepped up, sizing him up and asking, “Were you looking for me?”
“June told me she hadn’t received the roses you gave her for two days and felt empty inside.” Wang Boyce said this to her before changing his tone and saying, “Thank you for your help, and thank you for June, by the way.”
“What did you mean by that just now, June, and how did she know I sent him Rosebud? Did you tell her that?” Cheng Lydia asked in surprise.
Wang Boyce shook his head and stared at her, “Actually June woke up ten days ago, she’s been waiting for you and Shen Ron’s wedding, she wanted to wait until after your wedding to ‘wake up’.”
“What do you mean?” Cheng Lydia was surprised.
“Surprised?” Wang Boyce gave a cool smile, “She didn’t want me to reveal the secret to anyone, especially you and Shen Ron.”
“Why?”
