Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

When Cheng Lydia returns to the beach house, she finds it empty and surprisingly devoid of Lim Toby.

She rushed into the kitchen in a rush, where her aunt was making lunch.

“Where is the young master?” Cheng Lydia asked after her aunt, grabbing her in a rush.

Auntie twisted her head and said with red eyes, “Just now the young master suddenly vomited blood, and Xiao Huang has taken him to the hospital.”

Cheng Lydia’s heart clenched and she snapped in exasperation, “Then why are you still here? Why didn’t you call me?”

“It was the young master who told me not to call you, the young master told me to stay home and make lunch for you.” Auntie said with an innocent look on her face.

Cheng Lydia closed her eyes and turned to walk quickly towards the door.

As she rushed in the direction of the People’s Hospital, she called Xiao Huang, who answered through after a few rings. They almost trembled in their voices as they asked, “How is the young master?”

“It’s being resuscitated. Ms Cheng do you want to come over? I’ll pick you up.”

“No, I’ll take a cab there myself.” Cheng Lydia said and was about to drop the call.

Xiao Huang was busy saying, “Ms Cheng, the young master is now in Yarn Hospital.”

“How did it get transferred to Yarn?”

“The young master himself asked for it.”

“Okay, I’ll be right there.” Cheng Lydia put the phone down and picked up the pace to the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, Lim Toby had already been resuscitated and transferred to the intensive care unit. She leaned over the glass window of the ICU, looked at Lim Toby’s pale, paper-thin face, and choked up as she asked, “Why did he suddenly vomit blood? What did the doctor say?”

“The doctor said his condition is not promising.” Xiao Huang spoke hesitantly, “The doctor also told us to prepare ourselves mentally.”

“Don’t-!” Cheng Lydia covered her ears, she didn’t want to hear that, she wasn’t going to hear that.

After a few moments outside the ward, a doctor came out from inside the ward and Cheng Lydia rushed up and asked, “Dr. Liu, how is he? Is he okay?”

Dr. Liu looked at her anxious face and sighed helplessly, “Doctor Cheng, the patient has woken up, go in and see him.”

“Good.” Cheng Lydia quickly put on her protective suit and walked in.

Lim Toby was indeed awake, just so weak that he was struggling to even speak.

He looked at her with a light smile and with difficulty lifted his palm to take her small hand and asked, “Have you eaten?”

Cheng Lydia flung herself on top of him and whimpered apologetically, “Toby, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I’ll never leave you halfway again, never again …”

“Don’t cry …” Lim Toby’s palm changed to stroke her hair and smiled, “I’m still fine, aren’t I.”

He’s okay? No, he’s not fine at all. Dr. Liu, who knew her so well, couldn’t bear to tell her the truth, so how could he still be well?

“Lim Toby, you don’t want anything to happen …” She whimpered.

She couldn’t help but plead with him, knowing that it wouldn’t help at all, and that there was no way to keep Lim Toby alive.

“I promise.” Lim Toby forced a smile.

When he learned of this disease three years ago, he had kept it from her and created a series of misunderstandings to drive her away because he was afraid of seeing her sad like this. Little did he know that he would end up making her sad and making her cry.

Lim Toby soon fell asleep again, and Cheng Lydia sat up from his body, glanced at the life-giving apparatus next to him, held his hand and choked out, “Lim Toby, remember to wake up.”

She carefully placed his palm under the covers and walked out of the ICU.

At the other end of the corridor, Mrs. Lim and Lim Edith hurried this way, Mrs. Lim taking Cheng Lydia’s hand and asking anxiously, “How is Lim Toby?”

“Asleep.” Cheng Lydia dripped tears, “I’m sorry I didn’t take care of him.”

“I don’t blame you.” Mrs. Lim patted her hand, “It’s Lim Toby’s own life.”

“How’s my brother doing, anyway?” Lim Edith asked after him.

Cheng Lydia bit her lip and hesitated for a long moment before saying, “The doctor told us to prepare ourselves mentally.”

“How did it go so fast, Lim Toby …” Mrs. Lim slumped against the glass window of the ICU and cried out in pain.

“Mom …” Lim Edith walked up and hugged and cried with Mrs. Lim.

Cheng Lydia took a step back and slowly fell back into her chair.

After a dozen hours of intensive care treatment, Lim Toby did not get better again.

Cheng Lydia slept alone in her beach house for the night, eating the breakfast her aunt had so lovingly prepared, and though every bite was so hard to swallow, every bite was so tasteless, she struggled to eat.

Aunty smiled aside and encouraged, “Ms Cheng is right like that, no matter what, the meal must be eaten, otherwise the child should suffer after you.”

Child, Cheng Lydia said heartily, running her hand up to the small of her back.

This baby came at a bad time, having to stay with her through one of the saddest times of her life at such a young age.

The phone sitting on her desk rang, and she scanned the number on the screen; it was Lim Edith calling. She held her hand out, but hesitated to answer it.

She was afraid that Lim Edith would tell her on the other end of the phone that Lim Toby was gone, forever.

But running away isn’t the answer, is it?

She almost shuddered as she picked up the phone, and Lim Edith’s emotional voice came over the line, “Sister Lydia you need to get over here, my brother is dying …”

Cheng Lydia’s phone fell to the floor and she quickly got up from her desk chair and headed for the door.

Arriving at the hospital, she couldn’t wait for the single-floor elevator and entered the double-decker, as it were, getting off on the next floor to Lim Toby’s.

When she stepped out of the elevator, she saw the old lady pacing up and down the elevator entrance with an anxious look on her face, while Zhang Jane dialed the phone in a rush.

“Lydia, you’re finally here, why hasn’t your phone been working.” The old lady rushed up and took her hand in hers, tears streaming down her face.

“Grandma, I’m sorry, I’m in a hurry.” Cheng Lydia tried anxiously to break her grip.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“What is it? What’s as important as seeing Ron one last time?” The old woman cried out in pain.

Cheng Lydia froze, what did she say? Ron …

“Ms Cheng, the youngest is dying and is being resuscitated, the youngest was calling out your name before he went into the emergency room, you …”

Ron, Shen Ron …

Please forgive me for not being able to be there for you!

“I’m sorry, Grandma, I’m sorry …” Cheng Lydia shook her head, tears streaming down her face, “I’m going up there, I’m going to Lim Toby’s side …”

“Lydia, Ron needs you, please don’t go …” The old woman pleaded as she took her hand in a death grip.

“Shen Ron and I broke off a long time ago, no more, Grandma you don’t ask me, don’t make me …!” Cheng Lydia gritted her teeth and ruthlessly, as soon as she broke the old woman’s hand from her own, she turned around and rushed inside the fire escape.

Behind her, the old woman’s cries grew more and more piteous.

Cheng Lydia covered her ears and quickened her pace up the stairs.

“Sister Lydia, you’re finally here.” Lim Edith greeted her with tears, “Brother said he didn’t want to see you.”

“Why?” Cheng Lydia said tearfully.

“He said you’re pregnant and it’s not good for you. But I can see that he really wants to see you, and if he misses this, he’ll never see you again.”

Cheng Lydia patted her on the arm and walked quickly towards the ward.

Mrs. Lim was keeping watch over Lim Toby, holding his hand and talking to him, while Lim Toby was just lying motionless in his hospital bed, his eyes slightly dozed.

“Lim Toby …” Cheng Lydia rushed up, took his other palm, looked at him and called out, “Lim Toby, open your eyes and see, it’s Lydia.”

Mrs. Lim got up from her chair and stepped back to the side.

At the sound of Cheng Lydia’s voice, Lim Toby’s eyelids twitched as he looked at her and asked weakly, “What brings you here?”

“Of course I came to see you.” Cheng Lydia smiled through her tears and took two cufflinks from inside her pocket and placed them in his palm, “Toby, look what I brought you.”

Lim Toby was already too weak to raise his hand, so Cheng Lydia helped him lift his hand and showed him the cufflinks in his hand, “These are your favorite cufflinks, remember? That time at the dinner party you accidentally hooked the buttons onto my gown because you saved me, I’ve kept the buttons all this time.”

“Really?”

“Of course they’re real, look.” She moved the cufflinks towards him, “It’s the same pair as before right?”

Lim Toby cupped the two cufflinks in his hand and smiled faintly, “Remember to put them on for me when you … get there.”

Cheng Lydia covered her mouth and nodded through her tears, “Good.”

“Lydia … don’t cry.” Lim Toby gently took her hand, “You know … I hate to see you sad.”

“Okay, I’m not going to cry.” Cheng Lydia rubbed the tears away from her face and smiled.

Lim Toby smiled with satisfaction, “Remember … to … smile like this every day from now on.”

“Okay, I promise you everything.”

“Lydia, I love you. …”

“I love you, too.” Cheng Lydia held her mouth tightly shut to keep him from hearing her sobs.

Lim Toby’s eyelids had dozed back shut, and he couldn’t see her tears.

“Toby, remember to wake up.” She admonished him as she did every time.

However, Lim Toby didn’t reopen his eyes and smile at her like he did every time, telling her not to worry.

“Toby … Lim Toby …” She called, shaking his arm, while he ignored her, lying motionless in his hospital bed.

“Lim Toby-!” Mrs. Lim lunged up, crying and shaking Lim Toby’s body.

Lim Edith rushed up and threw her arms around Mrs. Lim whimpering, “Mom, don’t do this, brother is gone.”

“No! Lim Toby you don’t leave mommy … Lim Toby …”

Cheng Lydia tearfully rang the bell, and the doctor walked in and officially declared Lim Toby dead after going over his checklist.

Another doctor walked in with a folder and rushed the group, “Hello family members of Mr. Lin, it was simply Mr. Lin’s last wish before he died that he wanted to donate his heart to Shen Ron, a patient in the cardiac surgery department, and this is the arrogant officer donation agreement he signed before he died. If you family members agree to donate, please sign the consent form, if not, the hospital will not force it.”

“No … we can’t hurt his body like that, we can’t be so cruel …” Mrs. Lim shook her head in refusal.

Cheng Lydia didn’t expect Lim Toby to make this decision and she was momentarily stunned.

The doctor said, “But Mr. Lin has repeatedly instructed us to donate the heart to Shen Ron, and since Shen Ron is currently in emergency care, time is very short, so please think about it, Madam.”

Shen Ron is the owner of Yarn Hospital, and naturally Dr. Liu hopes to convince Mrs. Lim.
