There was no need for Su Chen to say anything.
The increase of favourability from 88 to 94 already explained the turbulent emotions Lu Lann's heart just faced and the decision she firmly made.
"Yes!"
"You can count on . I will definitely try my best."
"Don't bla if I made a loss, hehe! Since you yourself know that I am underqualified, but still offered such a high job.
Lu Lann showed her tongue and chuckled lightly.
"Good. My maids Ashlynn and Catlynn will help you to get used to your new job along with i Qing."
"There should be no problem starting work from tomorrow, right?"
Su Chen spoke calmly.
"Yes, it is good. The earlier I start, the better I can adjust my ntality for my new workplace."
Lu Lann replied, the smile on her face growing even more comprehensive.
Su Chen knew the first part of his objective was already complete. Now was the ti to hit the second objective.
"How's your mother now?'
Understanding he was going to hit a soft spot, Su Chen's voice beca softer this ti.
As expected, the previously confident and determined face of Lu Lann started showing signs of wavering.
Her mother has been her biggest regret.
Lu Lann's mind drifted back to the ti when she was small. At that ti, her mother used to look after her and did dirty chores like cleaning streets, cleaning parks etc, to earn agre wages so as to keep her daughter well-fed. But then her mother beca sick, her father started quarrelling with her mother and soon got into a significant gambling debt. This was followed by dostic violence before he eventually ran away, ultimately abandoning his family altogether.
For such a father who made her mother so sick that she is now bedridden, so full of emotional as well as physical debts, Lu Lann only had utter disgust and hate.
She regretted that she couldn't find a good doctor when her mother was still better. If that ti she had so money, maybe with prior treatnt, her mother would still be healthy, or if she had been bold and stood up when her father used to beat down her mother, maybe her mother's condition wouldn't have deteriorated to such an extent.
There are just way too many What-ifs…
But when she t Su Chen, when he carried her mother in a proper ambulance and let her see appropriate doctors, a glimr of hope ignited too brightly in her life.
She felt that perhaps now her mother could open her eyes and talk to her like she used to do when she was small, but reality is different from fantasy after all.
Even the most qualified doctors that saw her mother raised their arms, saying her nervous system was affected and she could only be on a life-support system for the next three years. After those three years, even the life support systems may not be able to sustain her.
This, yet again, brutally extinguished the hope that was just about to ignite like a fla.
This was her most enormous heart knot.
Su Chen knew that before solving this issue of hers, Lu Lann could never fully return to her heart.
What he needs is full 100 favourability that is loyalty and love till death, not so half-brushed goodwill.
And this was what he was going to do.
Because he had the biggest cheat of the system.
His confidence ca from the fact that his character panel regarding abilities clearly showed- Mastery of all types of dical skills to the fullest. This was his reward from the lotteries done using villain points.
Looking at the woman's head that had drooped down because of the sudden sad atmosphere, Su Chen uttered slowly,
"Lu Lann, What if i tell you that there is still hope for your mother!"
"What if I tell you I can cure her and let her talk to you and your little sister once again?"
For a second there, Lu Lann's shoulders shuddered as her legs trembled at what she heard; she blinked twice….thrice…..to make sure she was not daydreaming.
But then she shook her head helplessly.
"Young Master, if you want to tell a lie to uplift my mood, you don't have to do so!"
"The doctors you arranged to look after my mother have already told about the reality."
"Because giving false hope sotis can be very cruel."
Her voice beca much sober as if she would cry any mont.
But how can a strong woman like her cry so quickly? Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten the role of side heroine so easily.
"Look up and see in my eyes!"
"Do you think I am joking?"
Su Chen spoke a bit loudly.
Carrying with the montum, he tightly held her shoulders and forced her to lift her head.
When the self-esteem of the female in front of you is low, then it is the perfect ti for the male to make her feel secure, make her more cherished, and calm.
Being forced to lift her head, her slightly wet eyes t his intense gaze.
She wanted to pull away, but Su Chen held her so tightly.
This was not sothing a gentleman would do.
The rough handling of her, instead of arousing disgust, made her heart beat inexplicably louder.
Feeling the warmth conveyed to her shoulders from his broad palms, her body beca warm.
This was the first ti soone from the opposite gender had held or touched her other than her father.
Amidst the surging feelings, she heard him boldly declare,
"Do you not trust ?"
Hearing his declaration, her confidence seed to have returned.
She rembered all the details and changes he had brought to her and her little sister's life the past few days.
Taking a considerable pause, her lips finally parted…
"If it was soone else, I might have slapped him for telling such an open lie, but you are different."
