Chapter 387 Please agree to let us get married

The call was from Zhou Ruilian.

When the two arrived at the hospital, Lin Zhou had already been transferred to a special intensive care unit.

He looked very calm. All the instruments and tubes that were originally inserted into his body were removed, leaving only the ventilator and ECG monitor.

Zhou Ruilian was having a heated argument with Lin Zhenhua. They were standing face to face in the ward, accusing each other across Lin Zhou's bed, without any concern about disturbing Lin Zhou.

"Listen to what you're saying. Is this human language? Huh? What do you mean by I've done something extreme?"

"Did Liang Qiuye ever consider the falling stock price when he watched his daughter hit someone with her car? Did he know that Xiao Zhou was lying here half-dead? Is this matter going to be let go just because he's paralyzed?"

"I don't!"

Zhou Ruilian pointed at Lin Zhenhua and shouted loudly.

She looked fragile, but in fact she was clear-headed and her words were well-reasoned and logical. She didn't let her emotions get in the way, yet she made Lin Zhenhua feel so guilty that he couldn't say a word in reply.

"Xiao Zhou is in this state now. If you can manage him, do so. If you can't, get out of here. But if you dare to use his life to maintain those shitty prices, I will fight you to the death."

She was shaking with anger, but her mind remained clear: "Lin Zhenhua, listen to me, Lin Zhou is not your only son, Lin Zhenhua. You may not love him. But he is my life, and I will never allow you to use my son's life to protect your family. If you dare, we will see what happens."

Lin Zhenhua was speechless and didn't say a word for a long time.

But when he saw Tian Xin appear at the door of the ward, he immediately seemed to have found an outlet to vent his anger. He pointed at her and cursed: "How dare you come here? Get out."

Tian Xin had just arrived and hadn't realized what was going on between the two of them. He yelled and frightened her so much that she shuddered and subconsciously took a step back.

Zhang Shuai blocked her from behind: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Go ahead and do whatever you want. Don't be afraid of anything."

She nodded and entered the ward.

Zhou Ruilian stopped arguing, walked over and pulled the quilt for Lin Zhou, which was not messy at all. She looked at him and cried to Tian Xin, "Girl, please go away. My son doesn't need you anymore."

"No, Auntie. No..."

She shook her head quickly, as if to reject what she had just said, but also as if to express her determination to Zhou Ruilian.

She took a step forward, tightly grasped Zhou Ruilian's cold hand, looked into her eyes, and solemnly called out, "Mom—"

mom?

Everyone present, except Lin Zhou who was lying on the hospital bed, was stunned.

Zhou Ruilian was the first to be attacked: "Girl, you...what did you call me?"

Without waiting for Tian Xin to answer, Lin Zhenhua suddenly stepped forward, pushed her away, pointed at her and cursed: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Get out of here. We don't need you here..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Ruilian came over and interrupted him with a slap: "Shut up, what does this have to do with you? Get out of here."

Then, she opened her eyes wide in surprise, grabbed Tian Xin's hand, and asked again, "Girl, what did you call me just now?"

"Auntie, if you agree, I..."

"Tian Xin——"

Zhang Shuai interrupted Tian Xin again, walked over and pulled her away: "Don't joke around at a time like this. How can you call me mom so casually? You're still an unmarried girl, don't..."

"I've made up my mind, brother."

Tian Xin once again took Zhou Ruilian's hand, her eyes serious, and said solemnly: "Please agree to let me marry Lin Zhou..."

This time she finally finished her words, but this sentence was like a tear gas bomb, making Zhou Ruilian burst into tears in an instant.

She held Tian Xin's hand tightly, looked back at Lin Zhou, who was lying calmly on the hospital bed, and said in a trembling voice, "Lin Zhou, did you hear that? Tian Xin, she is willing to marry you. You didn't choose the wrong person, and you didn't save the wrong person. She...she is willing. Did you hear that? If you hear that, then get up...get up and agree to her!"

"But he never woke up again."

Lin Zhenhua's words completely shattered her fantasy.

This was also the doctor's diagnosis for Lin Zhouxia.

During that phone call, Zhou Ruilian told her this: Lin Zhou may never wake up again due to severe head injury.

Lin Zhenhua's words came true.

He glared at Tian Xin with disdain and sneered, "Before, he proposed to you and you refused. Now he's a cripple and may never wake up again. What's your intention in marrying a cripple like him?"

It was normal for him to be suspicious. Anyone would think so, and Tian Xin had expected this.

She wiped her tears, turned around, bent down, reached out and touched Lin Zhou's cold face, and said softly: "My intention is to become his wife and take care of him legitimately."

"I knew our Xiao Zhou was right."

Zhou Ruilian burst into tears again, holding Tian Xin's hand and saying to her, "I agree, I agree that you two get married."

Lin Zhenhua was annoyed again.

"I don't agree." He roared, and once again pulled Tian Xin up and pushed her out, pointing at her and shouting at Zhou Ruilian: "Wake up, your son is useless, he only has one breath left.

At this time, what does this woman want to marry him for? To keep him from moving, to take care of his shit and urine and act as a nanny? Are you crazy? Huh? Who are we? What qualifications does she have to marry into our family?

"What do you mean? She's after your family's money?" Zhang Shuai suddenly laughed out loud.

Then he pulled Tian Xin over and wanted to take her away: "Did you see that? Your sincerity was trampled underfoot just like that. Let's go, I won't get married. There are many men in the world. It doesn't have to be him, Lin Zhou."

But Tian Xin was determined. Even though Lin Zhenhua humiliated her like this, she still did not change her mind: "I know what you mean."

She released Zhang Shuai's arm, walked up to Lin Zhenhua, looked him straight in the eye, and said solemnly, "You can do the notarization of the pre-marital property. I don't want any of the house, car, stocks, or deposits. I only want him—I only want Lin Zhou."

She pointed at Lin Zhou and looked up at Lin Zhenhua. This time, there was no fear or concession in her eyes.

"But," she changed the subject and made another request: "Once we get married, we will be one. Please don't interfere with what I do next. If anyone wants to take advantage of him, I will never agree."

"Humph, you talk better than you sing." Lin Zhenhua didn't believe her and continued to sarcastically say, "You're saying this now simply because Xiao Zhou saved your life. To avoid gossip, of course you have to be a good person, right?

But taking care of a living dead person is not a matter of one or two days. When the storm has passed, no one will care about it anymore. Can you still treat him wholeheartedly?"

"Besides."

He walked around behind Tian Xin, looked her up and down, and said, "You are young and beautiful, and there are many men chasing you. Now you can enjoy your love and drink water to your heart's content. But Xiao Zhou is a useless man, and you can't do anything with him. As time goes by, you will inevitably feel lonely in the long nights. What will happen when that happens? Have you thought about it?"

He asked both Tian Xin and Zhou Ruilian, "Have you ever thought about this for your son?"

"Getting married? Humph, that's a joke."

The ward fell into dead silence.

Tian Xin didn't expect Lin Zhenhua to think of her like this, and she didn't expect that their union would be so difficult.

If Lin Zhou were awake, he would definitely not put himself in such a difficult position.

She couldn't help but burst into tears.

No, even so, she must seek justice for Lin Zhou: Liang Xiao must be sentenced severely, and she must not be given the slightest chance of being released on bail, absolutely not.

And... the last words Lin Zhou said before closing his eyes -

"The third wish...marry...marry me!" Her heart broke into pieces when she thought of this.

She walked up to Zhou Ruilian, took her hand and tried to ask for help: "Auntie, I just want the person who hurt Lin Zhou to be brought to justice and fulfill his wish. This is what I promised him, and I can't break my promise."

Zhou Ruilian hesitated at this moment and couldn't help turning her head away: "Child, he has a point. I can't ruin your life for my son. It's not fair."

"But didn't you say that before? Didn't you say that you agreed to our being together? I would go in his place..."

"It's different now."

Zhou Ruilian said in a trembling voice, "I still had a glimmer of hope before. If he could wake up, I would definitely fulfill your wish and let you stay together forever."

"But now... he will never wake up again. If you stay here, you will be a widow forever, child."

"I do, Auntie. I do..." Tian Xin cried and begged her: "He asked me to agree to that wish that day..."

"That wish..."

"That wish..."

She cried so hard that she couldn't speak, thinking of how Lin Zhou had humbly pulled her to ask for that unfulfilled wish. But she rejected him with a resolute look.

Finally, before closing his eyes, he once again used all his strength to say the words -

This is his only wish.

Doesn’t it mean that he saved her life, so it’s not worth it for her to fulfill his wish?

No, it's not.

Even if he didn't save her, she would still be willing.

It was only at this time that Tian Xin truly realized that the person who really couldn't live without the other person was herself.

She suddenly understood why she forgave Lin Zhou the moment Liang Xiao pointed out the misunderstanding, even though she was hurt so deeply at that time.

But in her heart - she loved him so much.

It turned out that she had already lost control of her own heart.

"I have to fulfill his wish..." she finally said.

Zhang Shuai looked at Tian Xin's stubborn eyes, who was in a dilemma but still persisting, and couldn't help but sigh.

He wished he could take her away from here immediately and never come back.

But Tian Xin cleared her throat in the long silence and pleaded with Lin Zhou's parents again: "Half a year, okay? I don't want anything. Please let me take care of him for the next six months. When this is over, if you still don't agree, I will divorce him."

"Tian Xin——"

Zhang Shuai looked at her with a trembling chin and a resentful expression: "Does it have to be like this?"

She didn't answer.

Lin Zhenhua and Zhou Ruilian also did not speak for a long time.

She suddenly sighed and hesitated for a second.

Then he questioned Lin Zhenhua:

"Uncle has been disagreeing because he's worried that my efforts to seek justice for Lin Zhou might lead to a falling out with the Liang family, and affect the company's stock price?"
