Chapter 95
How can it be, Shen Ron should be the one who wants her to conceive soon, and when she does, he will be relieved.
If it’s not Shen Ron, then it has to be … Ho Gina?
She had spent the previous day at Shen Mansion, Ho Gina had all the chances to set her up, and she was reminded of the last time she saw Ho Gina at Taian Residence. It seemed no coincidence that her target was indeed her.
“You’ve been taking birth control pills, huh?” The older woman, who had gone through a flurry of mental ups and downs, suddenly asked.
Cheng Lydia couldn’t help but shiver when she came in contact with her calm, cold gaze.
She had always known the old lady’s temperament; when she didn’t provoke her, she was so nice that it was touching, and in case she accidentally provoked her, she was bound to end up miserable.
“Why are you still lying to me about always trying?” The old woman smiled slightly and turned to Shen Ron, “What about you? Was this your idea?”
Shen Ron withdrew his gaze from Cheng Lydia’s face and lowered his eyes, “I didn’t know about this until today either.”
“Oh, that’s what Lydia meant.” The older woman turned her gaze back to Cheng Lydia’s face with the look of someone who had just seen through her today.
“It’s not.” Cheng Lydia got anxious and shook her head, “I never took the drug, it was Ho Gina, she must have secretly made me take it.”
“Ho Gina again?”
“Yes.”
“Did you forget? You and Ron have been out there alone for a long time.”
“…” Cheng Lydia was dumbfounded.
She turned her eyes to Shen Ron, who knew better than anyone how desperate she was for a child, didn’t she? However, Shen Ron just looked at her coldly, without the slightest intention to help.
Does he think he’s been cheating and acting too?
At this moment, Cheng Lydia felt a heart sad to the extreme, if even Shen Ron did not believe her words, the old lady would be even more unlikely to believe.
It was her own fault for being so stupid, her recent physiological period was so chaotic that she didn’t even notice any possible abnormality in her body since she didn’t even notice it. She only thought that it was caused by the recent stress and bad mood.
The old woman took a long breath, trying desperately to control her impending outburst, and looked at her askance, “Cheng Lydia, give me a reason why you’re doing this.”
Cheng Lydia was silent, for there was no way to explain.
The old lady then said, “To delay your time at The Shen Family? To delay your private one-year term to two years? Three years? Or longer?”
“But Cheng Lydia I tell you!” The old woman leapt up from her chair, her body swayed unsteadily, and her chest was rising and falling rapidly …
Shen Ron and Zhang Jane were busy stepping up to help her. Shen Ron was worried about the old lady’s health and gave Cheng Lydia a look and said, “Grandma, just leave this to me.”
The old woman, however, didn’t bother with him and stared coldly at Cheng Lydia in the hospital bed, “I could have you thrown out of Yarn with your mother tomorrow!”
“Don’t …” Cheng Lydia became even more anxious, trying desperately to roll out of her hospital bed, the pain in her leg prevented her from doing so, and she blinked back tears as she pleaded, “Grandma … please don’t kick my mom out, I really didn’t take the medication, please believe me… …”
My mother has been doing pre-op for the past two months and is almost well enough to have surgery next month, so it would be a shame and a pity if she was given up now.
“Don’t? Why didn’t you think about not wanting it when you cheated me over and over again that I would try? You dared to challenge my patience, you should have thought of the consequences.”
The disappointment on the old lady’s lips deepened once: “It’s a waste of time for me to treat you so well and love you so much, but you are repaying me like this, it’s really disappointing to me!”
The old woman took Zhang Jane’s hand and took a deep breath, “Let’s go!”
Zhang Jane swept Cheng Lydia with a sympathetic look and helped the old woman towards the door of the ward.
“Don’t go … please don’t go …” Cheng Lydia watched as the old woman’s figure disappeared through the doorway of the ward, tears streaming down her face.
She desperately wanted to chase her out, but lying in the hospital bed she could not move …
If she loses her mother’s chance to have surgery because of this, and her chance to continue living, she will live and die.
Shen Ron looked at Cheng Lydia, who was clutching the bedding with both hands and staring at the door of the hospital room, bawling with sympathy in her heart, that was more than indifference.
He stepped up to her heels and gazed at her condescendingly, “It’s like Grandma said, you should have thought of this consequence long ago.”
Cheng Lydia looked up and cried out in pain as she grabbed him by the palm of her hand, “Ron don’t you believe me too? How can you not believe me too?”
“How do you expect me to believe you?”
“Will you help me? Help me persuade Grandma not to kick my mom out, please.” She blinked back the tears in her eyes whimpering, “My mom will be ready for surgery soon, I’ve waited five years for this opportunity, I can’t lose it!”
Shen Ron looked at her, but eventually just pulled his palm back from her palm with an expressionless face and said, “If you were truly thinking of your mother, how could you have done such a thing?”
Cheng Lydia’s palm emptied, and with it, along with it, the hollowness of her heart.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
How is she not truly for her mother? How is it not?
She sold her marriage, lowered her dignity, and became a stand-in, a procreative tool, so that her mother could get better.
“It seems you really refuse to believe me.” Cheng Lydia steadied herself and used her back to wipe away the tears spilling from her eyes.
“How about I give you time to think of a reason that will convince me?” He laughed, looking askance at her for a moment, and turned to sail away.
The ward was instantly quiet, so quiet that only Cheng Lydia’s sobbing was left.
A scene that had just been warm and welcoming had instantly become so cold.
She closed her eyes and let the tears slide out of them.
She really doesn’t understand what she did wrong, why does life always have to give her so many trials and tribulations, just because the man next to her is Shen Ron, the man who is so high and handsome and good?
Is it true that just by being Shen Ron’s woman, your destiny is rewritten and becomes bumpy?
She did, and so did Yang June!
Yang June! When she thought of this name, Cheng Lydia’s heart fluttered. Was it artificial that Yang June had become what she was today?
It was the first time the thought had occurred to her, and she was frightened by her own suspicions.
Shen Ron walked out of the hospital room, walking resolutely.
He got into the car and took a light breath, hands on the steering wheel, his gaze falling on the delicately wrapped wrist. The bow on it was so sticking, so piercing, as if it was a constant reminder that just twenty minutes ago he and Cheng Lydia had been sweet and sweet and you and me.
It’s really … thick with deception and falsehoods everywhere inside!
He tugged the gauze off his wrist in annoyance, letting the wound be torn and dripping blood, not feeling the slightest pain like.
The steering wheel was stained with blood and shocking to the eye.
He started up the Kaiju and drove out of the hospital, not knowing where to go at this late hour.
The original plan was to stay at the hospital with Cheng Lydia because he knew that Cheng Lydia was afraid of being hospitalized and he was afraid that she would have nightmares again.
I didn’t think he’d be outside the hospital in a flash.
Shen Ron eventually pulls up to the Shen Mansion, and he steps into the lobby just in time to see the old lady fuming, accompanied by Zhang Jane with a frightened look on her side.
The old lady huffed and puffed and ordered her housekeeper to inform the hospital to cut off all treatment plans regarding Cheng Lena and kick her out of the hospital.
The butler didn’t know what was going on and nodded his head yes in one fluid motion.
“Go down.” The old lady let out a long breath of resentment and picked up her teacup to drink her tea.
“Yes.” After the butler nodded, he turned around and prepared to retreat when he saw Shen Ron and nodded, “The youngest master is back.”
“Wait a minute.” Shen Ron summoned the butler who intended to do as ordered, walked over to the old woman and said, “Grandma, don’t be impulsive just yet.”
“I’m not impulsive, I have to do this.” The old woman slammed her cup down on the table in indignation and said in annoyance, “What is she Cheng Lydia? How dare she play a calculating game right under my nose?”
“Be that as it may, we can’t just throw her mother out of the hospital now.”
“Why not?” The old woman scowled at Shen Ron, “You’re not really in love with her, are you? To actually speak up for her?”
In love with her? Shen Ron shook his head.
He won’t fall in love with any woman except Yang June.
Although he couldn’t figure out what the kind of heart he had for Cheng Lydia really counted, he was truly bewildered by Cheng Lydia’s tears, and was disturbed by her pleading to the point of weakness.
He chose to go back to Shen Mansion just to stop the old lady from actually throwing Cheng Lena out of the hospital on impulse.
“I mean not now.” He said, “Now that Cheng Lydia is still in a hospital bed and can’t move, where is Grandma going to throw her mother, the front door of the hospital? Let the crowd gather around to see how a hospital treats a vegetable?”
The old woman was dumbfounded.
That made sense, but again, she couldn’t really get out the grievance she had inside her without throwing Cheng Lena out.
She gritted her teeth and said to the housekeeper, “Go tell Cheng Lydia that I’ll give her a month to get her mother out of the hospital in a month.”
“Okay.” The butler looked at Shen Ron and walked out after seeing that Shen Ron didn’t say anything.
It was then that the old woman noticed the wound on Shen Ron’s wrist and her tone eased as she asked with concern, “What happened to your hand?”
Shen Ron tucked his injured hand behind his back, “Nothing, just an old injury.”
“It’s all bleeding.”
“I’m going to call the doctor over.” Zhang Jane immediately went to the phone and dialed the intercom.
