Chapter 535: 535: Xinglan Courts Favor, Worthless Mom Acts Recklessly (Second Update)
“What’s wrong?” the head nurse, who was married, asked, “Aren’t you pregnant?”
Lin Dongshan couldn’t help but laugh, simply shaking her head without explaining.
The more the head nurse observed, the more she felt sothing was off, scrutinizing Lin Dongshan’s face for the slightest change in expression, “You’re acting a bit strange today.”
“What’s strange about ?”
“You have the look of spring about you.”
Lin Dongshan was prone to laughter, but she had never laughed like this before. Even the head nurse, completely oblivious to the situation, could see the satisfaction and joy in her eyes.
“Head nurse, don’t try to set up with dates anymore.”
As expected.
“You’ve t soone?”
Lin Dongshan didn’t deny it.
The head nurse instantly understood, only wondering what sort of person it was that could captivate Lin Dongshan. She then casually ntioned, “Doctor Xia didn’t co to work today. I heard he was in a minor car accident yesterday and broke his leg.”
Lin Dongshan didn’t respond.
The head nurse didn’t push further, “I’m off to do rounds. Please organize the patient information for room 403.”
“Okay.”
Lin Dongshan turned on her computer and casually threw the unopened ergency contraception pill, which had been hidden under so papers, into the trash.
Changkang Hospital.
Chen Xiangtai stepped aside to take a call, “Mr. Lu Xinglan.”
Mr. Lu Xinglan asked, “Where are you?”
“In the ergency room.”
A patient was waiting for her to inject them.
She couldn’t delay for long, “Is there sothing wrong?”
Lu Xinglan coughed twice and said, “I’ve caught a cold,” with a slight hint of trying to grab her attention.
Of course, Chen Xiangtai didn’t understand these convoluted hints, “Then you should drink more hot water.”
“…”
They had just kissed the day before.
Had it only been one night, and she was already acting like this?
Lu Xinglan couldn’t hide his disappointnt, “It’s serious. Hot water won’t help.”
“Where are you now? You should have Mr. Tan bring you to the hospital right away.”
She knows how to worry, at least.
“I’ve already been admitted,” Lu Xinglan effortlessly added, not overstating it, not in the least, “and I’m in the sa room as before.”
Chen Xiangtai was t with an impatient glare from the patient waiting for their injection. She offered an apologetic smile before continuing the conversation, “Oh, then you get well soon.”
Lu Xinglan: “…”
Did he call to hear just that?
Lu Xinglan: “Because of you, I spent two hours in the cold wind yesterday.”
The fairy who ca to steal treasures had started to bewitch the little fairy under the Star Lord’s protection, saying, “My dear immortal, I’ve traveled countless miles just to see you.”
The immortal, unacquainted with the Lower Realm·Dog Trap, was moved and handed over all the treasures hidden by the Star Lord.
The fairy secured the treasures and said, “Then I shall co to see you again.”
The little fairy eagerly agreed, ntioning there were still more treasures in the furnace.
The fairy took the treasures from the furnace as well.
Such is the deceit in romantic affairs.
Chen Xiangtai suddenly felt very guilty, “It’s all my fault.”
Lu Xinglan offered her a path to redemption without changing his expression, “You have to take care of .”
Chen Xiangtai readily agreed, “I’ll co find you after I finish with the injections.”
That’s more like it.
Lu Xinglan was just about to respond with an “Okay,” when she hung up the phone.
Lu Xinglan: “…”
Old Tan returned from outside, “Mr. Lu, I’ve brought the water. Ti to take your dicine.”
Lu Xinglan lay back down, “No.”
Old Tan couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
anwhile, Chen Xiangtai, after finishing with her patient, was about to go look for Mr. Lu Xinglan when she received a call from Ms. Tan.
Ms. Tan was crying as soon as she began speaking, “Xiangtai, your brother got into an accident.”
Chen Xiangtai furrowed her dainty brows, “Wasn’t his driver’s license revoked?”
Sobbing, Ms. Tan tried to excuse Chen Debao, “He didn’t go far; he just went out for a drive.”
Mr. Zhao had lent him a new car, and he took it out for a joyride.
Chen Xiangtai, at a loss for words, and feeling like she had already dealt with enough, believed that soone like Chen Debao deserved jail ti.
“The person he hit isn’t badly injured, but upon finding out your brother’s license was suspended, they deliberately recorded a video threatening to call the police unless compensated.”
“Let them call the police,” she was tempted to do it herself.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Tan angrily berated her, “If they call the police, your brother will go to jail, he’s your brother, can you even say such things?”
Chen Xiangtai fell silent; she didn’t want to get involved, nor could she.
“The other party wants a million; I don’t have that kind of money,” Ms. Tan revealed the purpose of her call, “Xiangtai, help your brother, please.”
Ms. Tan would only call her when money was needed.
Gradually, Chen Xiangtai stopped expecting anything; she had beco numb, “I don’t have money.”
Ms. Tan could afford furs and “Hers” bags, and had two unoccupied resettlent houses. There was no way she couldn’t afford to pay.
“Your boyfriend has money,” Ms. Tan stated as if it were evident, “Ask him for help. His family is rich; a million is just pocket change to those wealthy folks.”
“Mom.”
Chen Xiangtai rarely called Ms. Tan that, and hardly ever argued with her like this, “When I lived at ho, I had to eat leftovers. If we’re talking about food costs, I’ve paid enough already.”
With that, she hung up.
Before, she never felt hurt, because this was how it had always been for her, but now things were different.
She looked up at the door of Lu Xinglan’s ward.
Different indeed; she had soone who cared for her now.
