Lu Lingche previously couldn’t be bothered to take issue, and he was aware of Lan Yuyi’s scheming, which is why he had been keeping his bodyguards at a distance.
He didn’t take such trivial matters to heart, and he certainly hadn’t demanded reports from his bodyguards about Lan Yuyi’s whereabouts. He didn’t care where Lan Yuyi went or what she did.
He was only concerned about fulfilling his eldest brother’s last words to protect Lan Yuyi’s safety.
But now, since Lan Yuyi had gone to Qiao Yin’s ward to cause trouble and ended up in danger herself, he had to pay attention.
Otherwise, if she really died, he wouldn’t be able to face his deceased elder brother.
Just as they were talking, the door of the emergency room opened.
The doctor came out.
Madam Lu couldn’t keep scolding her son any longer, and she hurried forward: “Doctor Zhou, is the baby safe?”
“Don’t worry, Madam Lu, the baby is safe.”
Madam Lu heaved a great sigh of relief, expressing her immense gratitude: “Thank you, Doctor Zhou! This is great news!”
After saying that, she took a thick red envelope from her bag and forcefully handed it to Doctor Zhou.
Doctor Zhou didn’t refuse. She was Lan Yuyi’s attending doctor, aware of the actual time Lan Yuyi was pregnant, and even the one who secretly altered her medical records.
So she accepted the red envelope without guilt, and then instructed the nurse to escort Lan Yuyi back to her ward.
Lan Yuyi woke up as soon as she returned to her ward.
Madam Lu held her hand tightly and asked many concerned questions.
Wen Bilan constantly wiped her tears by the side, as though she was scared out of her senses.
Only Lu Lingche, standing three meters away from her, watched her coldly, devoid of all emotions.
For the first time, Lan Yuyi disliked the luxurious size of the Lan’s Hospital room, because it put Lu Lingche too far from her.
“Lingche…”
She softly and weakly called him: “Why are you standing so far away? Come here. I’m fine now, our baby is safe.”
Lu Lingche didn’t move, only giving a nonchalant nod of acknowledgement: “Hmm.”
Tears started to stream down Lan Yuyi’s face: “Are you angry?”
“No.”
“You are, you’re angry at me. Otherwise, why would you refuse to come closer to me?”
Lu Lingche found her accusation bewildering: “I never wanted to get close to you in the first place.”
Lan Yuyi sobbed even more: “You are indeed mad at me. You’re even speaking words of anger. I know my mistake. Please don’t be angry. I won’t run around anymore, I really won’t…”
Seeing her crying, Madam Lu looked at Lu Lingche angrily: “What are you standing so far away for? Hurry over! She is crying so hard, won’t you comfort her? If she starts feeling distressed again, both her and the baby’s lives will be in danger!”
The final sentence struck a chord with Lu Lingche.
He finally stepped forward, moving to the edge of the bed.
Looking at Lan Yuyi’s pale face, he finally refrained from making harsh comments: “Rest well. I’m needed at the Corporation, so I’ll take my leave now.”
Lan Yuyi quickly sat up and grabbed his arm: “Can’t you stay with me a little longer? I feel so awful.”
Lu Lingche pulled his arm from her grasp: “Both my mother and yours are here with you, isn’t that enough?”
“It’s not the same!”
“Indeed, it’s not. They care for you much more deeply than I do.”
Having said that, Lu Lingche turned around and walked out.
Lan Yuyi’s expression became gloomy. She looked at Madam Lu with tear-streaked face: “Aunt Yao, is Lingche really angry? Does he blame me for not taking care of myself and would rather go to the Corporation than stay with me?”
“No, no, you’re overthinking things, hasn’t Lingche always liked you?”
“He doesn’t care for me like he used to. In the past, he would fret for a long time ever if I grazed my hand…”
Madam Lu was puzzled, was Lu Lingche so considerate to her in the past?
How did she not notice her second son was so tender?
