Xiao Ma grimaced in pain and replied immediately. However, he was grumbling to himself. What Rong’er? Everyone knew that Qin Xuejuan was Lu Jinrong’s nanny. Madam Lu didn’t have any breast milk, but thankfully Qin Xuejuan just had a son, too. Lu Jinrong managed to get milk because she had a lot of it.

It was only because of Qin Xuejuan that the scrawny baby turned into a strong man today. To Lu Jinrong, Qin Xuejuan was his second mother. He respected her a lot, which was why the elders of the Lu family were not at home that often.

They did not have to worry about home.

Or their son.

They would just publicly display their affection for one another in front of their son from time to time.

Xiao Ma fled from the room, afraid for his other ear.

…

Lu Jinrong looked up at the sky. It was raining again, but the car was not here yet. He was squeezed together with the other employees, but they were nice enough to shelter him with all their umbrellas.

It seemed like his employees were rather good. At least they knew how to shelter him with their umbrellas, unlike Chu Lui. He bet that if Chu Lui were in his place, his employees would not stand with him.

Shortly after, Xiao Ma arrived and hurriedly opened the door.

Lu Jinrong walked out, the umbrellas still sheltering him. He was still entirely dry. Xiao Ma, on the other hand, noticed that all the people holding up the umbrella were girls.

His Young Master Rong had a lot of affinity with women.

“Let’s go.” Lu Jinrong took a blanket and covered his legs. His legs were injured a few years ago so he paid more attention to them now.

“Okay, Young Master Rong.” Xiao Ma immediately turned the car.

“Oh, right, Young Master Rong, where would you like to go?”

“En, the hospital.” Lu Jinrong gently put his hand on his forehead. Since he had nothing to do, he might as well visit the little patient in the hospital.

“Did she say anything?” As expected, Lu Jinrong asked about it.

Thankfully, Xiao Ma was prepared and replied calmly. Young Master Rong was intelligent, and Xiao Ma could not be too far behind.

“Young Master Rong, she didn’t say much. However, she’s not doing very well. She’s throwing up everything that she’s eating.”

“En…” Lu Jinrong did not continue asking. Instead, he closed his eyes for a short break.

Xiao Ma was relieved. At the very least, Young Master Rong did not blame him.

The care arrived in the hospital’s underground parking lot. Thankfully, they were safe from the rain while walking from here, too.

When Lu Jinrong walked in, Xia Ruoxin was still sleeping.

“Why hasn’t she gained any weight?” He eyed the woman on the bed from top to toe. She was still skin and bones. It was uncomfortable to look at, a little like looking at a skeleton with skin.

“Rong’er, how many days has it only been?” Qin Xuejuan walked over and covered Xia Ruoxin with the blanket. “She’s had a hard life. Since she woke up, she hasn’t cried and has barely spoken. She’s so quiet my heart hurts for her. I don’t have a daughter, but if I did, my heart would break.”

When she spoke, she did not notice Xia Ruoxin’s hand underneath the blanket clenching up.

“Make her more things to eat. She has not eaten.” Lu Jinrong stood up and bent over. He tidied up the loose hairs at the front of Xia Ruoxin’s face. He knew that this woman had a pair of beautiful eyes. Since she was not awake, he could not see her eyes; and there was not much to look at.

“I understand,” Qin Xuejuan replied. Without Lu Jinrong, she still would have made more food. She was not afraid of the trouble, but that the girl would not be able to eat it.

Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes after Lu Jinrong left. Her eyes were blank, and there was a pain in her stomach. This was a pain she would remember for the rest of her life.

She was breaking out in a cold sweat from the pain, but there was nothing she could do but lie there. Her feet were secured by the plaster cast so she could not move at all.

She only exhaled slowly after the pain eased up a little, but she had already broken out in a sweat. She did not want to trouble others so she slept like that and waited, staring blankly at everything ahead of her.

“Whose patient is this?” A sudden voice tugged at her heart. She turned and tried her best to bury her face in her blanket.

The door opened, and a doctor walked in.

The familiar voice continued.

“What happened to them?” As they spoke, the owner of the voice approached the bed. It was Gao Yi.

He picked up the patient’s particulars dangling at the corner of the bed and looked through it.

Name, blank.

Condition: severe malnutrition, fractured scapula, and broken legs. Several injuries to the face.

“Was it an accident? It’s so serious.”

Gao Yi put the file down and eyed the pitiful person on the bed. It seemed like a woman, but he had not seen a woman this skinny. It was like she had not eaten for days.

“I’m not sure. The director operated on her,” the other doctor replied, “This was the patient that activated all the doctors the other time.

“Oh, that time.” Gao Yi remembered it instantly. He then lost his interest in this patient. Since she was under the director’s care, his presence did not make much of a difference.

“Let’s go.” He turned to leave, but for some reason, he looked back at the woman on the bed. She gave him a strange feeling, but he did not know what it was.

He rubbed his forehead.

He was probably just tired from all the surgeries he had been doing recently. That was it.

It had to be.

After getting so busy, he had to find time to get some proper sleep. Else, he would start hallucinating.

The door was shut gently. At this time, the room was silent; and there was only the smell of antiseptic.

It was a little familiar but a little strange.

Xia Ruoxin reached out her hand and then clenched it. There were still injuries on her hand, and it was caked in gauze.

It was better not to meet, really.

She put her hand on her face. If Gao Yi knew what she had become, he would be sad. Wei Lan and Gao Xin, too. It was better for them to believe that she was doing well… and for Xia Yixuan to think that she was already dead.
