Chapter 96
The old woman instructed, “Go back to your room and wait for the doctor to come, don’t catch the germ.”
“I’ll also talk to Grandma again about Cheng Lydia.” Shen Ron said unfazed.
“Talk about what? What else is there to talk about? Such a wrong-minded woman!”
“So what’s Grandma going to do? Really kick her out of The Shen Family?”
“It’s a must.”
“And then what?”
“…” said the old woman, dumbfounded once more.
And then what? She hadn’t really thought about it!
“Grandma think about that before you decide, after all, there isn’t a second person in the world who looks like June.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
He had always believed that all his good feelings for Cheng Lydia were based on her resemblance to Yang June, and if Cheng Lydia were to be thrown out and another woman found in her place, he thought he would never have a good feeling for her.
These days, he and Cheng Lydia had rubbed off on each other better and better, and if he had to keep a woman around in this life, then he would rather keep her.
“I thought she was quite a character and caring before, but I didn’t expect … that.” The old lady smiled coldly, “It seems that you still have to find the kind of woman who is tame and well-behaved.”
“That’s what Grandma’s going to do?”
“That’s right.” The old woman said with a determined face, then asked rhetorically, “Aren’t you at all angry at being cheated by a woman like that?”
“Of course I’m angry.”
“Then there’s nothing more to say.” The old woman stood up from the couch, her gaze moving to his wrist once more, “Remember to take care of the wound while I go to my room to take my breath away.”
For three days in a row since Shen Ron walked out of the hospital room, Cheng Lydia hadn’t seen any member of The Shen Family except for the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion once.
When Chung Grace ignores her and the old lady and Shen Ron stop talking to her because of the misunderstanding, even to the point of kicking her mother out of Yarn, Cheng Lydia suddenly feels a sense of disillusionment.
But when the housekeeper told her that the old lady would not kick her mother out of Yarn until a month later, she suddenly saw some hope again, a month after she was almost well enough to take care of her mother, even though she could not afford the high hospital bills.
It’s okay to be unattended, she can take care of herself, she can always get over it.
When it was time for lunch, Cheng Lydia dialed the takeaway number on her mobile phone and ordered herself a lunch.
When lunch was delivered, she gobbled it up, leaving no grains left. She was going to spend the month trying to store up energy and get herself back to normal as soon as possible, only then would she be able to take care of her mother who was about to be kicked out of Yarn.
Today’s meal was a bit salty and she was thirsty, as she reached for the hot water bottle on the table, but she couldn’t reach it any way due to the distance being a bit far and her inability to move her body too much due to the injury on her leg.
It was hard to reach, and the water bottle fell over with a crash, pouring boiling hot water out and scattering it all over the floor.
A nurse came at the sound of the voice and scolded while saying impatiently, “Why are you so careless? You have to pay for breaking a hot water bottle! Where is your family? Why hasn’t your family come over yet?”
Cheng Lydia looked down and apologized, “I’m sorry my family wasn’t available to come over.”
In the beginning, because this hospital was close to Shen Mansion, the ambulance was sent from here, and because of the emergency situation Shen Ron sent her here.
“What kind of family members are you that are unavailable all day long, and so impersonal?” The nurse lady chanted as she cleaned up the hot water and glass shards on the floor.
Cheng Lydia was annoyed by the chanting and looked at her and said, “Young lady, you just graduated, right? If you are so impatient right after graduation, how can you continue your career? As a health care worker, shouldn’t you help a patient in trouble? If you don’t help, that’s all, and you have such a bad attitude.”
“I have a bad attitude?” The young nurse retorted defiantly, “You’ve been in the hospital for three days, you can’t even see a family member, you even have to call the nurse to go to the toilet, we nurses are very busy, how can we have so much American time to wait on you? If it was you as a health care worker who encountered a patient like this, would you have a good temper?”
“I do!” Cheng Lydia said, “Not only will I take good care of her, I will face her with my best smile.”
After years of working in the hospital, what kind of patients had she not encountered? Those who could not afford to be hospitalized, those who were not accompanied by their families, every time she met such patients, she would definitely take extra care of her. Whenever she encountered such patients, she was sure to take extra care of her, because at that time, she would think of her mother who had been expelled from the hospital twice without money for medical treatment.
Such a patient is already pathetic, shouldn’t we as health care workers be a little nicer to her out of pity?
“Say who won’t? You have to do it to get it, Che …” The nurse lady grunted coldly and went out with the garbage shovel, not forgetting to throw a sentence to Cheng Lydia before leaving, “Hurry up and call the family, I don’t have that much patience to serve you.”
What an attitude!
Cheng Lydia thought indignantly that if she were in charge of the place, she would have fired every single one of these uncaring employees.
Cheng Lydia was depressed when the water didn’t work and she got a scolding.
She lifted the quilt and looked at her calves, which were wrapped in fixed splints, wondering when she would be able to move freely, or else she didn’t have to move freely, it would be better to have a life to take care of herself.
With a helpless, sultry sigh, she pulled the covers back over her lap and looked up when she was affected by the person who had suddenly appeared in front of her. She was stunned, looking at the tall man in front of her, dressed in an expensive suit, and for a moment she thought it was Shen Ron who had appeared. Because Shen Ron also liked to wear expensive Italian brands and also liked to wear dark … colors.
She moved her eyes upwards slyly, sweeping her gaze over his hand holding the glass of water, his chest, his neck, and finally settling on his handsome face.
The eyes sank slightly, disappointment hard to hide.
She asked, expressionlessly, “How is it you?”
“What? You think it’s Shen Ron?” asked Gu William, eyeing her.
“No.” Cheng Lydia gave a perfunctory shake of her head.
“Have a glass of water first.” Gu William placed the glass on the bedside table, leaned over, slipped an arm behind her neck, and carefully helped her from the hospital bed to lean against the pillows.
He moved so quickly and carefully that Cheng Lydia didn’t have a chance to refuse if she wanted to.
He held her with one hand and took the glass of water with the other, bringing it right to her lips.
Cheng Lydia took a sip, the temperature was moderate, not too cold or too hot. She uncomfortably scratched the messy hair on her head and stole a glance at him, mentally wondering when the hell he had come and for how long?
She glanced at the glass of water in his hand again, and he would pour her water … it seemed that he had just seen the scene of her quarrel with the nurse lady.
So wretched this scene was bumped into by him, Cheng Lydia only felt blushing.
She took the glass of water, finished it in one gulp and handed it back to him, saying, “That … thank you, Ron’s busy these days, he’ll be over later.”
“Still either?” Gu William asked, staring at her.
As for her big talk about Shen Ron coming over later, he wouldn’t even believe a word of it.
He also thought Shen Ron would be at her bedside if he hadn’t met him last night at a bar picking up a beautiful woman.
When he bumped into Shen Ron at the nightclub last night, Shen Ron was already drunk, and since he took it upon himself to come up and pick a fight when he saw him that he didn’t want Cheng Lydia and was giving her up to him.
As it was, he came to the hospital today, as it were, just in time to see the scene where she broke the hot water bottle.
Cheng Lydia shook her head, “No, you hurry up and go in, I don’t want Ron to see the two of us together.”
“I’m leaving.” Gu William set the cup down and flattened her on the hospital bed again.
The dignity she was trying to maintain, he couldn’t bear to hurt.
He turned to leave, but Cheng Lydia suddenly rushed to his back and asked, “Is Chung Grace okay?”
Gu William turns back around and looks at her in a mess, she’s in trouble herself and she actually has the heart to care if Chung Grace is okay?
He nodded, “It’s fine, I’ve been shooting in France these days, I don’t expect to be back for a month or two.”
“Oh.”
“She knows you were in a car accident but she thought Shen Ron could take care of you so she never checked in on you, do you need me to tell her to come over and see you?”
How could the man who the day before was chartering the entire penthouse of the Tiandu to watch a meteor shower for her, turn sex in the middle of the night? It’s something no one expected, and neither did he or Chung Grace.
He knows that Chung Grace doesn’t really hate Cheng Lydia, and that if Chung Grace were to find out how miserable Cheng Lydia is now, she would leave everything behind and go back home to be by her side.
Cheng Lydia, however, shook her head in a panic: “No, I just want to know how she’s doing, so don’t disturb her filming.”
“You’re really looking out for her.”
“I was the one who did it wrong in the first place.”
“When you say that, you’re clearly accusing me of being an accomplice.”
“Isn’t it?”
“Okay, okay.” He laughed, “For the sake of her being so badly hurt, I won’t argue with you.”
“As unwelcome as I am, thank you for coming to see me.” Cheng Lydia looked away and stopped looking at him.
Gu William looked at her back which was slightly turned inward, sighed slightly and said softly, “Call me if you need anything, consider it a volunteer favor from a friend.”
He really wanted to stay by her side and take care of her if possible.
“Thanks, but no more.” Cheng Lydia said without hesitation.
As much as she needs help, Gu William is the one person who should never be bothered.
Even if she’s fallen out with Shen Ron now, she shouldn’t have gotten too close to him shouldn’t she? Even if it’s for Chung Grace, she shouldn’t accept his kind offer!
“In that case, take care of yourself.” Gu William smiled helplessly and turned to walk out of her hospital room.
As he passed by the nurse’s desk, Gu William’s footsteps stopped and he turned his head to look at the young nurse who had just finished arguing with Cheng Lydia and was now giving him a flamboyant look.
He pulled up the corners of his lips and smiled gracefully at the little nurse, who was then instantly blown away.
“I’m a family member in bed 36, can I help you?”
“Ah. …”
Gu William took two steps in front of her and closed in on her, “Ah what? Please help me pick two better mannered and hardworking caregivers for her, I’ll send someone over later to pay and do the paperwork.”
With that said, Gu William pulled away from her heels.
