Chapter 308 Too Selfish
After receiving Xu Nuo's call, Lu Chen hurriedly drove to the military hospital.
When he rushed to the emergency room and saw Xu Nuo, his eyes fixed - Xu Nuo's knees and arms were covered with large abrasions, and although they had been applied with medicine, they still looked shocking.
"What's going on?" He walked forward quickly, with a rare urgency in his voice.
Xu Nuo saw panic in his eyes for the first time, and she hurriedly said, "I'm fine. I called you here because something happened to Lin Ya."
Lu Chen frowned and asked, "Why are you so seriously injured when nothing happened? What happened?"
"Don't worry, just listen to me." Xu Nuo explained, "I was pushed down on the road. I heard that it was Lin Ya who pushed me and saved my life. If she hadn't pushed me, I would have been the one hit by the van."
"Van? Where did the van come from?" Lu Chen asked.
"I didn't see it clearly." Xu Nuo said, "There were a lot of cars and people at that intersection. So... after Lin Ya was hit by the car, I was only concerned about her condition and didn't notice the perpetrator."
When the ambulance arrived, there was only a van left at the scene, and the driver had disappeared without a trace.
Lu Chen patted her shoulder gently: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "You take a rest first, I'll make a phone call and be back soon."
After a while, Lu Chen came back with a bag of steaming buns and handed it to Xu Nuo: "Here, eat it while it's hot. I have contacted the Public Security Bureau, they are investigating and will notify us immediately if they have any news."
Xu Nuo took the bun and took a bite. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Should we notify Aunt Qin?"
She knew that Qin Huayun and Lin Ya had a good relationship. If something happened to Lin Ya, she didn't know whether she needed to be notified.
Lu Chen's eyes darkened, and he was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "No need. If you need care, we will come."
Xu Nuo nodded in understanding: "Okay, let's take care of Lin Ya together."
As the two were talking, they heard hurried footsteps in the corridor. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qin Huayun and Ling Sheng rushing over in a hurry.
Ling Sheng walked forward quickly and noticed Xu Nuo's injury at a glance. He asked anxiously, "Why is he injured like this? What happened?"
Xu Nuo quickly explained: "I'm fine, it's just superficial injuries. But Lin Ya...was hit by a car while trying to save me, and she has internal bleeding and is being treated."
As soon as Qin Huayun came in, she acted as if she didn't see Lu Chen and Xu Nuo. She rushed to the door of the operating room and paced back and forth anxiously.
Hearing this, he suddenly blurted out: "It's all because of you! Lin Ya is like this, she is already pitiful enough!"
Lu Chen's face darkened instantly. He could no longer bear it and asked in a higher voice, "Who is your daughter-in-law? How did Xu Nuo let you down? Why did you treat her like this?"
Qin Huayun was shocked by this sudden questioning. After a moment's pause, she replied, "Lin Ya is so pitiful. Have you ever cared about her? She has no relatives. We are the only ones left..."
"What about Xu Nuo?" Lu Chen asked coldly, "Have you ever known her family? Have you ever cared about her? You haven't! You are too selfish. You only see the people you want to see, and you only care about the people you want to care about! Have you seen the wounds on Xu Nuo's body? You and I don't regard you as a mother, so do you regard Xu Nuo and me as your son and daughter-in-law?"
Xu Nuo rarely saw Lu Chen so emotional. She gently held Lu Chen's hand and said softly, "It's okay. We have mom who cares about us. She even called yesterday and said she made your favorite chili sauce and sent it to us. She asked us to check it out."
Lu Chen's expression eased a little, and the corners of his lips slightly raised: "Okay, Mom loves beef jerky the most, we will buy more and send it back later."
"Okay." Xu Nuo agreed with a smile.
Qin Huayun stood aside, staring at the scene in a daze, feeling very uncomfortable.
Xu Nuo glanced at her and asked softly, "Does this feel good? You only experienced it once today, but Lu Chen has been experiencing it all the time. This is what you brought to him! It's you!"
Qin Huayun's emotions were somewhat out of control. She covered her chest and began breathing heavily.
"Mom." Ling Sheng hurriedly supported her, "Are you okay? Calm down, calm down..."
Lu Chen looked at her coldly: "You don't have to act in front of us."
"Lu Chen, she's not acting." Ling Sheng hurriedly reminded him, "She's had heart surgery, you know that."
"If that's the case, then she should know better what emotions she should and shouldn't have!" Lu Chen said sternly, "Does it mean that just because I'm her son, I have to let her hurt me wantonly?"
"Lu Chen is right." Xu Nuo held Lu Chen's hand tightly and stood firmly with him, "Since you don't love him, please don't hurt him again and again."
Xu Nuo's words hurt Qin Huayun. She burst into a scream and pointed at Xu Nuo's nose and cursed: "I told you it's all because of you! It's all you! You're the one who instigated it!"
Xu Nuo: “…”
In all my life, this is the first time I have seen a mother like Qin Huayun.
"Stop making noise!" At this time, the door of the operating room opened and a nurse came out from inside. "This is a hospital, please keep quiet! We are rescuing the patient!"
"Mom." Ling Sheng gently hugged her shoulders, "Don't get too excited, and don't affect the doctor's operation."
Qin Huayun covered her mouth and cried sadly in Ling Sheng's arms.
Ling Sheng sighed deeply and whispered to Lu Chen, "Please bear with her. After my father left, her mood was often unstable."
"Instability is not an excuse or reason for her to take out her anger on Xu Nuo." Lu Chen said coldly.
Ling Sheng: “…”
He really had a headache.
In his previous life, he must have owed this mother and son, so in this life he deserved to be involved in this matter.
Qin Huayun was forced to shut her mouth by her own son. She didn't know that Lu Chen's mouth was so powerful.
The corridor finally became quiet. No one spoke anymore and they just counted numbers to pass the time.
Finally, the door of the operating room was opened and Lin Ya was pushed out.
The doctor said: "The operation was successful!"
The heart that had been hanging in the air finally settled back into his stomach. Xu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lu Chen, "She can't be left alone tonight. I'll stay and take care of her."
"You go back to sleep, I'll stay." Lu Chen made the promise out of concern and refused to do so no matter what.
"It's inconvenient for you, a man, to stay here. I'd better stay here." Xu Nuo insisted.
Lu Chen thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.
But, his wife was still injured, how could he keep her?
"Let's stay together." Lu Chen said, "I'll find someone to arrange a single dormitory for her, so that it will be convenient for us to take care of her."
