"Auntie Zhou gave it to me?!"

Lin Zhixing was a little surprised.

The relationship between these two people is a little... too good.

Anyway, I received the cake and should go and say thank you.

Lin Zhixing walked out of the office and originally wanted to go to Zhou Qiaohua's ward to find He Yan, but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate.

I took out my phone and prepared to send a text message.

"Zhizhi."

Yin Ruyun walked over from the direction of the ward.

Yin Ruyun is in her early fifties. Her face is well maintained and there are almost no signs of aging.

Today she looked particularly tired, with some red bloodshot eyes, and she looked a few years older.

"Aunt Yin, what's wrong with you..." Lin Zhixing looked at the woman's face and asked with concern, "Didn't you get enough rest?"

"Ayu left the country on a flight last night." Yin Ruyun smiled bitterly. "I thought a lot last night. I feel like I've spoiled him too much over the years, which is why he's become like this today..."

"Aunt Yin, I also think that Master He has grown a lot during this period, which is a good thing. You can't support him forever. If he grows more, you will feel more at ease."

Lin Zhixing comforted Yin Ruyu very seriously.

The woman's mood was slightly relieved.

She turned her head and looked in the direction of Zhou Qiaohua's ward not far away. "Today is Dr. He's birthday. Mom asked me to order a three-layer cake from the most famous cake shop in North City, paying extra for it. I just distributed some to everyone. Did you receive it?"

"Got it. I was doing surgery this morning and saw it when I just returned to the office. I was just about to go over and thank Dr. He."

Lin Zhixing felt that even if the cake was given by Zhou Qiaohua.

She should also thank He Yan.

After all, he is the birthday boy.

"Ah... but speaking of it, Mom is really partial." Yin Ruyun couldn't help but sigh, "In all these years since she returned to China, I've never seen her think about celebrating Yan Chen's birthday. Why is she suddenly rushing to celebrate the birthday of the child she sponsored abroad?"

Lin Zhixing's expression was slightly calm.

"Didn't she... celebrate Yanchen's birthday?"

"Yes, I asked about this specifically." As a mother, Yin Ruyun's tone was inevitably a little dissatisfied. "She said that the most important things for boys are their studies and careers, and they shouldn't be obsessed with trivial things like birthdays."

Lin Zhixing couldn't help but frown.

She knew Zhou Qiaohua was harsh on He Yanchen, but she never expected him to go this far...

I didn't even celebrate his birthday.

Lin Zhixing has never celebrated his birthday since he was a child.

I know very well what children look forward to on their birthdays.

She has no parents, and no one celebrates her birthday for her to comfort her.

Can……

He Yanchen has parents and a mother.

Lin Zhixing forced a smile and said, "I'll celebrate his next birthday for him."

Lin Zhixing thought at this time.

The next birthday, the next birthday, and every birthday after that...

She would always be by his side to celebrate his birthday.

Yin Ruyun came out of Zhou Qiaohua's ward and prepared to go home to rest.

After exchanging greetings with Lin Zhixing, she took the elevator downstairs.

Lin Zhixing thought about it and decided to walk towards Zhou Qiaohua's ward.

She just stood at the door of the ward...

Zhou Qiaohua's voice came, "...I've been regretting not adopting you all these years. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had such a hard life."

Lin Zhixing was shocked!

The steps forward were immediately taken back.

The words spoken by the old man in a loving voice seemed to explode in Lin Zhixing's heart!

He Yan responded with a smile, "It's not hard. The money you gave me over the years really helped me a lot. Otherwise, even if I had completed my studies, I would still be worried about paying the tuition, and it would be impossible for me to return to China."

"Oh... by the way, where do you live now?"

"I live in the hospital dormitory."

"That's not a big deal. I'll buy you a house near the hospital. It'll be easier for you to find a wife in the future." Zhou Qiaohua immediately followed up the topic and asked, "By the way, do you have a girlfriend?"

"No, I don't even have any savings. Having a girlfriend would only delay others."

"What are you afraid of? If you have a girl you like, you can bring her to me. I will help you screen her and give you a betrothal gift."

Two people come and go...

Not mother and son, but better than mother and son.

Lin Zhixing just listened, but his heart was filled with pain.

She's not doing it for herself.

But I feel sorry for He Yanchen.

If he knew that a mother who was so strict with him could be so kind to another person, he would definitely be sad.

A mother who was reluctant to celebrate his birthday was willing to urgently order a three-layer red velvet cake and carefully prepare a birthday gift for another person even when she was in the hospital.

Lin Zhixing couldn't understand Zhou Qiaohua.

She even felt that she was a little ridiculous.

When Lin Zhixing was about to leave...

"Doctor Lin, Director Huo is looking for you. He's in bed number 7."

A nurse came running over and called out to her.

The door of the ward was ajar.

Lin Zhixing could hear the conversation between the two people in the ward, and the two naturally also heard the young nurse calling Lin Zhixing.

Lin Zhixing didn't have time to think too much. He just closed the door of the ward and went to the ward where bed number 7 was to find Huo Yikang.

Bed No. 7 is the new patient admitted today, and his condition is somewhat typical.

Huo Yikang asked Lin Zhixing to come over to study, and then went to the office to discuss the surgical plan.

It takes more than an hour to be busy.

When Lin Zhixing came out of Huo Yikang's office, he saw He Yan standing in the corridor.

"Happy birthday, and thanks for the birthday cake."

When Lin Zhixing saw him, he said what he should say.

Then he turned and walked towards his office.

She always thought He Yan was a good person.

but……

Since I learned about his relationship with Zhou Qiaohua, I have been looking back at some things.

Did he know He Yanchen's identity from the beginning?

Could it be that the things I mentioned unintentionally were specifically said to her?

Lin Zhixing's heart will always lean towards He Yanchen.

At this moment, she only felt sorry for He Yanchen.

I just think that what Zhou Qiaohua did was outrageous.

If her mother, when she had her own child, felt that she was not smart and wanted to adopt a smart child.

She will be sad.

If her mother doesn't celebrate her own birthday, but celebrates other people's birthdays with great fanfare.

She will suffer.

"Doctor Lin, I'm looking for you." He Yan caught up with her in a few steps. "You were at the door of the ward just now...did you hear anything?"

Lin Zhixing also intends to get to the bottom of this matter.

She turned to look at He Yan and asked directly, "You mentioned the aunt who wanted to adopt you. It was Aunt Zhou in bed number 11, right?"
