Chapter 80 The Second and Third Sisters Are Here
【】
After entering through the gate, the road is lined with fields of flowers, with dense white flowers standing proudly. Further ahead, you have to pass through a long bamboo forest. Sunlight filters through the bamboo leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The shadows flutter like dragonfly wings.
Looking around, the buildings you can see are either small wooden houses or courtyards, with artificial hills and flowing water, and birds singing and flowers blooming.
The car drove for a long time before stopping in front of an attic.
I reckon this attic belongs to the Lin family; it's probably some kind of villa.
Xu Zhiyu thought so, but she didn't know that from the moment the car drove through the gate, everything she saw in this area belonged to the Lin family, and this attic was just a part of it.
She had no time for sentimentality. After getting off the bus, she hurriedly followed behind Lin Shukai, her heart filled with nothing but worry.
As soon as she stepped into the attic, the uniformly dressed servants bowed in unison. They didn't speak, but simply bowed slightly with elegance. It was hard for Ayu not to take a look, and she found that these staff members were all quite good-looking. She never expected that the requirements for being a servant in a wealthy family were so high.
The interior is decorated in a classic and elegant style, with antiques and calligraphy and paintings everywhere you look. The items on display are mainly made of wood, and there is a faint sandalwood fragrance in the room.
The room was so clean that Xu Zhiyu stepped in without changing her shoes, and felt a deep sense of guilt.
She walked with restraint because the people inside were very quiet and made almost no noise.
Xingmian's room was on the second floor, but they didn't go upstairs. Instead, they went directly to the first room at the corner on the first floor.
The interior still features traditional Chinese decor, with deep red walls and various bamboo and wood furniture. The only difference is that the room is filled with many instruments that belong only to hospitals, as well as doctors in white coats and nurses who are busy at work.
She followed Lin Shukai into the room without any hindrance or obstruction.
This isn't the first time this has happened.
The last time Xingmian had gastritis was... and the last time she went to the hospital to see her dad was also...
At this moment, her legs felt heavy again, and each step forward required immense courage.
The boy in the hospital bed was pale and wearing an oxygen tank. His immobile appearance was exactly the same as when Ayu last visited the hospital and saw her father lying in bed.
The deep red house turned blackish-gray in an instant.
Her heart sank rapidly, and tears involuntarily welled up in her eyes.
Despite the weight, Xu Zhiyu's body seemed to be out of control at this moment. She took two or three steps to Lin Xingmian's bedside—scanning him from head to toe, her gaze lingering on his wrist wrapped in white bandages and the black hand rope beside his pillow.
Xu Zhiyu picked up the bracelet and looked at it. Looking at the boy, she said in a trembling voice, "Xingmian, your sister is here."
As this call was made, the boy's fingertips trembled slightly where no one was watching.
She sat down beside his bed, took the boy's cold hand, and said gently, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry again? You've made yourself like this... Aren't you afraid I'll be angry if I find out?"
She gently brushed the stray hairs from Xingmian's forehead.
"You liar. You always make up lies to deceive me. Now look what you've done! You keep saying you're doing great... Well, now your dad has brought me to Shanghai, just to keep you company. Aren't you happy now?"
The medical staff present looked puzzled, but Lin Shukai gave them a wink, and they all left.
When only Xu Zhiyu and Lin Xingmian remained in the room, her forced composure finally crumbled.
Xu Zhiyu clung to Xingmian's arm, leaned down, and pressed her cheek against the back of his hand, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Mianmian, please get up. I'm so tired lately. Can you get up and hug me? I'm so sad. My dad suddenly became like that. Why are you lying here motionless too? Mianmian, this place feels so unfamiliar. I don't know anyone here. I'm so scared... Waaah..."
