Chapter 68 Father's Photo

When Li Yan came home from get off work, Li Nuo had already woken up. When he saw him come in, he raised his hand with difficulty and shouted in a hoarse voice.

He thought Li Yan was the only one there, but when he saw Secretary Yang following behind him, he was still a little surprised.

Secretary Yang put the bag in his hand on the table and immediately walked to the bed.

"Oh, what a suffering! I just recovered a little, but my face is thinner again. What's going on? Doesn't Secretary Li give you food?"

Secretary Yang kept on muttering and complaining very loudly.

Linuo listened to him chattering with a smile.

"I realized it the last time I went to a pub for dinner. People have to eat junk food sometimes, right? Fried chicken is delicious, right?"

"I know Li Yan won't buy it for you. When you get better, I'll buy it for you. There's also barbecue. You want to eat it, right?"

Secretary Yang kept talking in an endless stream of words to seduce Li Nuo.

Mo Chuan, who was sitting next to him, was annoyed and waved him away, "I just heard what you said. Get out of here. Don't get so close to me. The coldness in my body has drifted away. When I see your face, things will get worse."

"How could that be? Linuo should be happy to see me, right?"

Secretary Yang was not affected by Mo Chuan at all and smiled as he moved his face closer. Seeing his frivolous look, Li Nuo felt that his depression was reduced a lot.

"Long time no see."

A hoarse voice spoke words of welcome.

Secretary Yang was very worried. "Oh, stop talking. Come on, drink some water."

Li Yan, who was standing beside the bed, reached out and touched his brother's forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not hot anymore."

"Well, Brother He also said that everything is fine now. As long as we can get through tonight and the condition doesn't get worse, it will be fine."

Li Nuo slowly relayed He Yan's words.

Li Yan nodded. "I will be more careful at night. Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

"Wait, you don't have to say anything." Considering that his brother's throat was swollen, Li Yan reached out to stop him and looked at the person who had been sitting next to him. "Director Mo, you have been here for a day? You should know what Doctor He said."

Mo Chuan nodded, "Just let me stay here with you at night."

Li Yan's face darkened and he resisted the urge to punch him.

"The directors didn't attend the afternoon meeting either. Isn't it bad for them to be so idle?"

"Secretary Liu is not there, and Qin Xu didn't say anything, so just don't worry about it." Mo Chuan was not polite about the obstacles in his love life.

Just as the two were about to start arguing, Secretary Yang intervened and picked up the bag he had just put down.

"Hey, hey, hey, let's have dinner first, Director. I bought your portion as well."

Mo Chuan didn't care and waved his hand, "Go away, you're too noisy."

Secretary Yang muttered, "He has no conscience."

But he was also used to Mo Chuan's indifference, after all, he was with Qin Xu every day.

He just picked up one of the sandwiches and walked towards Linuo: "Let's have dinner. You don't have anything else to eat right now. Be patient for a few days and then eat something else when you're ready."

Linuo took the sandwich and nodded. He didn't have much appetite now, but he couldn't go hungry while his body was recovering.

He drank some water first, then chewed the sandwich slowly.

Secretary Yang's family was still waiting, so he stayed for a while and then waved goodbye.

Only Mo Chuan and Li Yan were left.

After Li Nuo finished eating, Mo Chuan still didn't leave, and Li Yan finally couldn't help it.

"Director, are you not going back yet?"

"Didn't I tell you that you need me to accompany you?"

"No need, please go back."

"I don't want it."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Li Nuo waved his hand to interrupt them.

"You two...go back."

Because he was looking at himself, Li Yan hadn't had a good rest since last night and had to work a whole day today.

Mo Chuan also stayed in the ward for nearly a day.

This is a cold, which is contagious, and it is not after surgery, so Li Nuo hopes that both of them can go back and have a good rest.

During the day, the nurses all wore masks, except Mo Chuan, who refused to wear one no matter how much Li Nuo persuaded him.

"What if I catch a cold?"

Linuo tried his best to express his concern, but the two of them didn't care.

Mo Chuan even said with a smile: "I heard that if you pass on your cold to others, you will get better faster. Isn't there a custom that lets passers-by step on the medicine residue to take away the disease?"

"…feudal superstition is not desirable."

Li Yan also looked unmoved, "Brother, Brother He said tonight is very important, how can I go back? I will watch it tonight."

Around eight or nine in the evening, after taking the medicine, Li Nuo began to feel sleepy.

Li Yan turned up the air conditioner temperature a little to prevent him from catching a cold at night.

Li Nuo, who was already half lying on the bed, looked at Mo Chuan and waved to him, "Go back."

Mo Chuan sighed. Even if he wanted to stay in the hospital, Li Yan would not allow him. The two started arguing, and Li Nuo was the one in trouble again.

Of course, if you succeed in marrying the beauty, you don’t have to worry about these things.

Mo Chuan looked at Li Nuo, whose eyelids were drooping due to fatigue, and reached out to touch his hair, which was a little sweaty due to the thick quilt and the temperature. "I'll be back soon, you go to sleep first, you will get better faster if you sleep."

Li Nuo felt his hand, which was slightly colder than his body temperature, and closed his eyes comfortably.

"Good night, I hope you have a good dream. Of course, it would be even better if you could dream of me."

Mo Chuan's playful words made Li Nuo's mouth curl up slightly, and he fell asleep quickly.

Seeing him fall asleep, Mo Chuan also stood up and glanced at Li Yan, "You should really get some rest. You have dark circles under your eyes. If your immunity is reduced, you may really catch a cold. Then, you won't be able to take care of Li Nuo."

This was said sincerely. If Li Yan got sick, Li Nuo would probably be very worried, which would be even more detrimental to his recovery.

After he left, Li Yan sat on the sofa and sighed. He was indeed a little tired.

It should be said that I can no longer sleep only three or four hours a day like I used to and still have plenty of energy to work.

Now, I can only hold on by relying on the will in my heart.

He rubbed his temples, glanced at his brother, set an alarm, and prepared to take a nap and get up to watch it at night.

Li Nuo's hospital stay was longer than expected. Perhaps because his body had not recovered from the cold and fever, his recovery was slower than expected.

Although we actively cooperate with the treatment, it still takes time.

Things at the company were more complicated than expected. Qin Xu's power struggle forced Li Yan to work overtime. Although Mo Chuan came to see him every day, he only came after get off work. Qin Xu was even busier and only sent messages occasionally.

Zhang Wanhui, who hadn't seen him for several days, couldn't help but send a message saying that he would come to visit the patient.

Linuo agreed.

Zhang Wanhui looked around the ward and cast his eyes on the fruits and snacks that filled the entire cabinet.

Noticing his gaze, Li Nuo said, "Eat it if you want to. It will go bad if you leave it there. I can't finish it at all."

Those were all brought by Mo Chuan every time he came to see him. Even if he was told that they were not needed, he would only say pitifully that this was the only thing he could do.

Li Nuo couldn't persuade him and could only let him do what he wanted.

Now, every time Li Nuo sees that pile of snacks and fruits, Mo Chuan’s face naturally appears in his mind.

He suspected that the other party did it on purpose.

Zhang Wanhui ate some snacks casually, looked around the ward, and finally walked to the window to look at the scenery outside.

"This ward is nice, but the fee should be very high."

Li Nuo didn't answer, but just looked at him.

"Who paid for you? The guy in the coffee shop last time?"

Li Nuo shook his head. Qin Xu had always paid for his medical expenses. This seemed to be one of the conditions for Li Yan to join the company as a secretary: to pay for Li Nuo's medical expenses.

That happened a year ago, but Zhang Wanhui didn't know. Didn't the original owner tell him? Then he wouldn't tell anyone. He still couldn't completely trust this person because he felt that he was hiding something from him.

Zhang Wanhui didn't dwell on the problem. He came back from the window and sat on the sofa.

“This is quite delicious.”

"Brother Mo brought it back from abroad. He said it's a famous specialty snack."

"...Mo...is that the guy I met twice in the coffee shop?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Zhang Wanhui lost his appetite instantly, remembering the man's contempt and bad words in the alley last time. He pushed the snacks away and stopped eating.

He originally wanted to tell Li Nuo about that man's cold words, but considering that Li Nuo seemed to be closer to Mo Chuan than himself after losing his memory, he gave up the idea.

When he contacted Li Nuo later, he also asked what kind of person Mo Chuan was and how they knew each other, but Li Nuo was very cautious and only talked about some irrelevant things.

Even if you don't say it, you can tell from the clothes.

The clothes were well-tailored and made of expensive fabrics, and the leather shoes were dust-free. Although he couldn't name them, he could still recognize the limited edition watch on Mo Chuan's left wrist when he raised his hand.

'He is definitely a wealthy man.'

In the past, Li Nuo had come into contact with many wealthy people, and many of them were interested in his face. Even though he knew that the person approached him for money, it didn't matter. It was better this way, just for fun.

However, due to health reasons, Li Nuo himself was also hesitant. He wanted the money, but his small body couldn't bear it.

In the end, no action was taken.

But Zhang Wanhui is really disappointed.

But it doesn’t matter. Now Li Nuo has a new goal and has succeeded. All he has to do is wait for his share of the money.

He still treats the present Li Nuo as he did before.

After all, he believed that human nature would not change easily.

"Did he really pay for the medical expenses?"

"Is this important? You asked me twice."

Li Nuo was very wary of his probing questions and refused to answer. Zhang Wanhui then observed his expression and changed the subject.

"It's a cold, it looks like I'm almost recovered, when can I be discharged from the hospital?"

"The doctor said it's not enough."

He Yan said that he would need to stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation and would not be discharged so soon. Li Nuo still listened to him in this regard.

"What brought you to the hospital today? Didn't you say you found something?"

Zhang Wanhui sent a message saying that he had discovered something, so Li Nuo asked him to visit the patient.

"Oh, yes, wait a minute."

He took out a photo from his jacket pocket and handed it to Li Nuo. Li Nuo took a look and saw that it was a photo of a middle-aged man.

Seeing his bewildered face, Zhang Wanhui took a photo and asked, "Can't you tell?"

Li Nuo thought hard about the middle-aged man who had a relationship with her...

"..... Could it be that he is my father?"

"Did you see that?"

"Is it really my father?"

Li Nuo didn't see the slightest sense of familiarity in the middle-aged man's appearance. He looked nothing like himself or Li Yan. Oh, no, that's not right, I got it the wrong way around.

Regardless, there is no trace of genetic inheritance.

"Not really? I don't think they are similar at all."

Li Nuo couldn't help but take a closer look. His facial features and face shape didn't resemble his family at all.

"You said before that you look a lot like your mother and are a great beauty."

"ah......"

Li Nuo had complicated feelings towards the mother who abandoned her family. Perhaps it was because of her beauty that she was unwilling to fall into the bottomless pit of medical expenses.

"Mom.....are there any more photos?"

"No, in fact, you also gave me this photo and asked me to help you find him." Zhang Wanhui pointed at the photo.

"I said that?"

Li Nuo was confused. Why did the original owner do such a thing?

Looking for that gambling addict biological father?

Are you serious?
