Chapter 288 How is my brother?
Three days later in the morning, Lin Yan walked out of the hospital gate carrying her medical record bag, her fingertips stroking the thin pregnancy test form in the bag.
She lowered her head and touched her still flat belly, unable to believe that a little life was growing there.
Thinking about the doctor just telling her that she was six weeks pregnant, an indescribable joy surged from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
My thoughts turned, and I suddenly remembered the thrilling moment on Lantaili Island that night, and I was filled with fear.
That place is so scary. It is surrounded by the high seas, there are no laws, no constraints, and bloodshed is the norm.
She walked to the parking lot and called Xing Yu.
"Ayan?" Xing Yu's voice came through the receiver, and there seemed to be some noise on the other end of the line.
"Xing Yu, it's been three days. Why are you still staying in Lantai and not coming back? Did something happen?"
"I have something to take care of." Xing Yu paused and said, "Ayan, I'll be back tomorrow."
"Where's my brother?" Lin Yan asked, her heart still hanging in the air. "Is he coming back with me?"
"Yes." After a moment, Xing Yu's voice lowered, and he hesitated to speak: "Ayan, Lin Zhi... is injured."
Lin Yan's heart tightened: "Where is the injury? Is it serious?"
"Don't worry, we'll be back home tomorrow."
Xing Yu didn't tell her clearly and hung up the phone vaguely.
Lin Yan sat in the car for a long time, feeling uneasy.
I don't know how I started the car or how I drove home. I was so absent-minded the whole way that I didn't even notice that I ran a red light.
It wasn't until she got home, stepped out of the elevator, and saw the simple figure standing at the door that she came to her senses.
"Mo Xue?"
Mo Xue was walking towards her, wearing a loose brown cotton coat and carrying a dark canvas bag.
"Lin Yan..." There was a heavy sense of guilt on her face, and she avoided looking at her.
Although Mo Xue was forced to do those things by Song Yanzheng.
She could understand it to some extent intellectually, but emotionally, there was always a barrier between them.
She said calmly, "What's the matter?"
Mo Xue was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly bowed to her: "Lin Yan, I came here specially to apologize to you today. I'm sorry..."
"What happened before...I'm sorry for you."
Lin Yan looked at her lowered back, feeling nothing in her heart.
She sighed and said in a faint voice: "There's no need to say sorry, I hate these three words."
Mo Xue's body stiffened for a moment, and she slowly raised her head.
"I know... Today, besides apologizing, I'm here to pay you back."
Mo Xue took out the banknotes wrapped in a plastic bag from her bag and handed them to her: "This is the money you lent me for plastic surgery before, a total of 50,000 yuan, you count it."
Lin Yan took it and glanced at it: "Where did you get the money?"
Mo Xue paused for a moment, with some disbelief in her eyes, but told her the truth.
"Song Yanzheng transferred 100,000 yuan to me, saying it was compensation for exploiting me during this period. Not only did he transfer the money to me, he actually released my grandmother..."
Lin Yan remained calm.
I couldn't help but wonder, has Song Yanzheng really changed his ways, or does he know that he won't live long and is trying to gain a little mercy by doing good deeds?
It doesn’t seem important anymore.
No matter what, the bad things he did cannot be erased.
Lin Yan had no sympathy for him, at most she sighed for the passing of a life.
She also didn't expect that one day, the man she had loved for ten years would die on an isolated island abroad, and there would no longer be a ripple in her heart.
Recovering her thoughts, Lin Yan looked at Mo Xue and said, "We are no longer friends, so don't come to see me. Some things are done and done. The knot is already there. I can't forget it, and I can't pretend that nothing happened."
Mo Xue moved her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end it just turned into an almost inaudible silence.
"You go."
Lin Yan didn't look at her again. She took out the key and opened the door. The moment she turned around, Mo Xue's low voice came again.
"Lin Yan, I won't bother you anymore. I plan to take my grandma to live in another city and never return to Beijing."
"I'm really happy to meet you... You're my only friend in Jingbei, and it's my fault for not cherishing you."
"We've experienced similar pain, but you're stronger than me and live more openly than me. Lin Yan, you're a very strong person. From now on, you must be safe and happy."
Lin Yan didn't turn around and replied with five words: "You too, be well."
"Lin Yan!" Mo Xue stepped forward and reminded her, "There's someone... you need to pay attention to. I'm not entirely sure... but I have a feeling there's something fishy..."
"who?"
Mo Xue lowered her voice and told her a name.
…
Lin Yan suffered from severe morning sickness and extreme sleepiness.
The next morning, my stomach churned. I covered my mouth and rushed to the bathroom. I lay over the toilet and vomited until I felt weak all over.
For the sake of her baby, she reluctantly ate something at noon, which made her stomach feel a little better.
Then I curled up on the sofa, covered myself with a thin blanket, and soon fell asleep again.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I felt a warm touch on my palm, as if someone was gently holding it.
A familiar smell lingered at the tip of my nose.
Lin Yan woke up quickly and when she opened her eyes she met a pair of deep eyes.
Xing Yu sat on the carpet beside the sofa, his upper body leaning forward, his palm wrapped around her hand.
He seemed to have just taken a shower, with a faint smell of shower gel on his body, and he had changed into a dark gray sweater.
"woke up?"
Lin Yan was still a little confused. Looking at his face so close to her, she sat up from the sofa and said, "Xing Yu, you're back? When did you arrive?"
"Just arrived not long ago."
"Where's my brother?" Lin Yan's eyes turned anxiously on his face, and her hands tightened unconsciously: "How is my brother?"
Xing Yu was silent for a moment, then stood up, picked up the coat beside him and put it on her shoulders: "Eat first, and we'll talk while we eat."
As he spoke, without waiting for Lin Yan's reaction, he bent down and picked her up sideways.
"Xing Yu, put me down." Lin Yan hugged his neck and asked, "Tell me quickly! How is my brother?"
He looked down at her and ignored her subsequent question: "You are carrying a baby, don't let go."
"I'm carrying a baby, not a bomb. What's wrong with taking a few steps?"
Xing Yu's eyes were filled with unwavering doting: "From now on, you are my ancestor. I must take extra care of you, understand?"
He placed her on a chair at the dining table and turned to open the incubator next to it.
Inside are the meals for pregnant women that he had specially customized for him.
Lin Yan was in no mood to eat: "If you don't tell me, I'll go find my brother myself."
Xing Yu poured her some porridge, looked up at her, and coaxed her, "Eat first, I'll talk to you after you finish."
She knew that the more Xing Yu acted like this, the more it showed that things might be worse than she imagined.
He was afraid that now that she knew, she wouldn't even be able to drink the porridge.
Lin Yan wolfed down the porridge as if she had completed a task. She had no intention of tasting it and returned to the main topic: "Tell me when you're done."
Xing Yu looked at her tense face, which darkened a little. He reached out and took out a tissue to wipe the porridge stains from the corner of her mouth.
"Ayan." His voice lowered. "Lin Zhi's eyes are injured. He might... go blind."
Lin Yan's head buzzed, followed by a few seconds of silence, and then countless noisy sounds exploded in her ears again.
"blindness?"
"Yes. He's been treated in various major hospitals in Lantai over the past three days, and the doctors are at a loss as to what to do. So I'm bringing him back to China to have a closer look at him with domestic experts."
