Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

Cheng Lena took her small hand back and opened her mouth, but couldn’t spit out a word.

There were so many things she wanted to say, and her lips twitched longingly.

Cheng Lydia touched her dry, thin face and shook her head, “Mom, I know you must have a lot to say to me, but the doctor said it will take at least three months for your speech to return to full normal, so just take your time in the meantime and just listen to me, okay?”

Cheng Lena nodded softly, her eyes never leaving her daughter’s face as if she could never get enough of it.

Cheng Lydia smiled as she wiped the tears from each other’s faces with a tissue, “Mommy must be wondering how long she’s been asleep, right? Mommy has been sleeping for five years. Mommy must be wondering how Lydia is doing too right? Lydia has had a great time over the years and is now working at Yarn Hospital in the doctor job Lydia loves oh.”

Seeing her mother spread a smile, she added, “So don’t worry mommy, everything will be fine, and when she’s fully recovered, we’ll go home and spend every day together, okay?”

“Good …” Cheng Lena spat out a word with difficulty.

Cheng Lydia said nothing about her misfortunes and two failed marriages so as not to worry her mother.

Cheng Lena’s eyes finally looked behind her through Cheng Lydia, but there was no one else in the ward but Cheng Lydia. The smile on her face faded and worry struck Cheng Lena’s face again.

Cheng Lydia understood what she was worried about and was busy saying, “Does mom still want to know if your daughter is married? Or has she got a boyfriend yet?”

Cheng Lena was busy nodding, Cheng Lydia as casually lied: “Your Lydia is not married yet, but already has a boyfriend, next time I’ll bring him over to see you, okay?”

Cheng Lena nodded, finally smiling again.

After Cheng Lydia had told her mother everything she thought she was more anxious to know, she worried about her mother’s exertions and, as it were, urged her to get an early night’s rest.

Cheng Lena was indeed tired, and even though she was reluctant, she could not resist the weakness of her body and fell asleep once again.

Cheng Lydia did not go back to stay at Shen Mansion, but spent the night in the hospital.

When she returned to Cheng Lena’s hospital room the next day, Cheng Lena was already awake and she greeted her mother with a smile to say good morning. Cheng Lena, however, only looked behind her.

Cheng Lydia understood what she was looking for and smiled as she did, “Mom, your son-in-law-to-be isn’t available today, so I’ll bring him tomorrow, okay?”

Cheng Lena nodded and withdrew her gaze.

There was a knock at the door and Cheng Lydia turned to answer it and was surprised to find Aunt Helen standing at the door of the ward.

“Godmother, you’re here?” Cheng Lydia called out politely.

Aunt Helen glanced into the ward and handed the thermos to Cheng Lydia, “I don’t suppose your mother wants to see anyone yet? I won’t go in, say hello to your mother for me.”

Cheng Lydia took the thermos and pulled her in with another free hand, “No, Godmother, you go in and meet Mom.”

Aunt Helen thought for a moment and nodded, “That’s fine.” She gestured with her jaw at the thermos in Cheng Lydia’s hand, “Here’s a nutritious meal for you, just eat her while it’s hot, look how thin you’ve lost from all your exertions these days.”

“Thanks Godmother,” Cheng Lydia said as she placed the thermos on the chair by the door and got a protective suit for Aunt Helen.

Cheng Lena was already sleepy and resting with her eyes closed when Aunt Helen walked into the hospital room.

Her footsteps were light, but Cheng Lena still sensed someone approaching, and her eyes ghosted open, staring at her momentarily in awe when she saw the familiar, noble face before her.

Aunt Helen gave her a small smile and asked softly, “Are you feeling better, sister?”

Cheng Lena grew agitated, her lips twitching, “You … you …”

Half the time, she could only spit out that one word.

“I’m Chen Frost, don’t you remember me, sister?” Aunt Helen held her dry, thin palm, “You can’t talk now, can you, so don’t say anything until you can talk, it’s okay.”

Cheng Lena backhanded her and squeezed her hand in a death grip.

“Is this too much excitement from not seeing me for too long, sister?” Aunt Helen smiled again, turned her head slightly sideways, swept a glance at Cheng Lydia in the doorway, and deliberately lifted Cheng Lena’s hand that was clutching her own.

Cheng Lydia, who had not been comfortable letting Aunt Helen go in alone, after all, Aunt Helen was a non-existent figure in her memory, finally settled down a little when she heard what Aunt Helen said to her mother and saw her clutching Aunt Helen’s hand tightly.

It seems that the mother knew Aunt Helen and remembered her.

Cheng Lena opened her mouth with difficulty to speak.

Aunt Helen leaned over and put her ear right up to her mouth, and only two words could be faintly heard, “Little … painting …”

Aunt Helen smiled and patted her hand, “Are you worried about Lydia, sis? Don’t worry, I’m Lydia’s Godmother, I’ll take good care of her for you.”

Cheng Lena closed her mouth in frustration, tears rolling down her face.

After giving Cheng Lena a few words of advice, Aunt Helen excused herself and walked out of the ward, smiling at Cheng Lydia who was guarding the outside of the ward, “Your mother probably hasn’t seen me for too long and is a bit agitated, I think I’d better come back another day to save irritating her.”

“Okay, Godmother,” Cheng Lydia nodded, watching her leave.

Cheng Lydia returned to the ward and saw her mother staring dead in the direction of the doorway, stroking her face and smiling, “Godmother has gone, she said she would see you next time.”

Cheng Lena looked at her with tears in her eyes and waved again in the direction of the door.

Cheng Lydia didn’t understand what she meant and had to rely on guesses, “Mom couldn’t let Godmother go?”

Cheng Lena shook her head and quickly nodded again.

“Mum has more to say to Godmother doesn’t she?” She asked again.

Cheng Lena nodded busily.

Cheng Lydia was a little embarrassed, “But the doctor said you shouldn’t overwork yourself, and Godmother’s gone, so maybe next time, okay?”

Cheng Lena shook her head, emotionally.

“Mom, you have to listen.” Cheng Lydia feigned displeasure, and Cheng Lena was finally quiet.

Seeing her mother looking so pitiful, Cheng Lydia suddenly felt intolerant, as she smiled again: “Mom, don’t be in a hurry, when you are better, you can see whoever you want to see, you can say whatever you want, there is no hurry in this moment, right?”

In the evening, Cheng Lydia went back to Shen Mansion.

After looking around the living room and bedroom and seeing no sign of Shen Ron, as it were, he headed for the study.

When she entered, Shen Ron was behind his desk working on a new contract, and when he saw her, a slight look of surprise appeared on his face, then he set the contract down to the side and looked at her, “Something wrong?”

Cheng Lydia wouldn’t seek him out if he was okay, that much he knew.

Cheng Lydia asked, “Are you free after work tomorrow?”

“No time.” Shen Ron rose from his chair, picked up the cup of tea on the corner of the table and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to her.

That was a pretty crisp rejection, Cheng Lydia breathed lightly.

Instead of exiting his study, she took two steps forward and gazed at his cold back, “My mother’s surgery was successful, but she’s not quite able to talk yet, and she wants to see you, is that okay?”

Shen Ron turned and looked at her askance, “Do you think that’s necessary?”

“She wants to know if I’m doing well, if I have someone with me, and I can’t let her worry.” Cheng Lydia said.

Shen Ron sneered, “Gu William would have been a better choice to meet her than me, wouldn’t he?”

“Can you stop mentioning him all the time?” Cheng Lydia eyed him with displeasure.

“But have you ever thought about how you’re going to explain when your mother gets better and it turns out that it’s him who’s with you and not me?”

For that matter Cheng Lydia never thought about it, because even if she divorced Shen Ron by then, she would not be with Gu William.

Gu William was not fit to be in the presence of her mother, something Gu William herself knew, so Gu William never visited the hospital again after the operation.

“Don’t worry about that, I’ll take care of it myself.” Cheng Lydia asked, “You answer me first, yes or no.”

“I need to think about it.” Shen Ron replied.

Consider, that means no?

Cheng Lydia nodded and turned to leave his study.

Shen Ron had never been one for trouble, much less a kind person who would sacrifice his time for someone who didn’t matter, so Cheng Lydia didn’t expect him to come to the hospital.

But to her surprise, Shen Ron actually showed up at the hospital on time after work the next day.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Faced with Cheng Lydia’s surprise, Shen Ron gave her a simple explanation, “I had to sacrifice myself so that your mother could get better faster.”

“Thanks.” Cheng Lydia said gratefully.

“Can we go in now? I’m in a hurry.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s go.” Shen Ron put his arm on her shoulder and swept it slightly up into his arms.

Cheng Lydia nods, smiles, and tries to look as happy as she can.

Stepping into Cheng Lena’s hospital room, Cheng Lydia found Cheng Lena dozing with her eyes in a small pen. After twisting her head to look at Shen Ron, she leaned down and called out in Cheng Lena’s ear, “Mom, didn’t you say you wanted to see your future son-in-law? He’s already here.”

Cheng Lena’s eyebrows twitched and her eyes ghostly opened, her gaze moving from Cheng Lydia’s body to Shen Ron’s and finally resting on Shen Ron’s face.

At first glance, she felt that this man looked somewhat familiar, as she blinked her eyes for a moment in an effort to see more clearly, and as her vision came clearer and clearer, the expression on her face became more and more suspicious.

Shen Ron took Cheng Lydia’s shoulder and called out politely, “Hello, Auntie, my name is Shen Ron.”

Shen Ron… simple three words, but Cheng Lena’s dry face was instantly paved with astonishment.

“Isn’t that handsome?” Cheng Lydia said with a big smile when she saw her mother looking at Shen Ron with her eyes straight.
