As she spoke, Li Ruo suddenly remembered something, her expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly asked, "By the way, what about Lyon? How is he?"
"Lyon?"
Upon hearing this, Sally was puzzled, wondering who she was talking about.
Li Ruo realized what was happening and explained, "It's about the boy I was with. Where is he now?"
Seeing that she was a little agitated, Wen Huaiyan quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't worry, the boy is fine, he just suffered a minor injury and is recuperating in the next room."
"Is he injured?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo immediately felt worried: "I'll go check on him!"
As she spoke, she instinctively struggled to get up.
Seeing this, Wen Huaiyan quickly stopped her: "Your body hasn't recovered yet, you can't move around."
Sally chimed in, "Yes, that boy lives next door. Sister Li, you should wait until you've recovered before going to see him."
No matter what the two said, Li Ruo was still worried about Lyon.
She shook her head vigorously, her face resolute: "No, I need to know his condition now!"
After all, if it weren't for Leon, she would have been gone long ago.
Moreover, during those days in the slums, it was this little guy who risked his life to take care of her every day.
She already owed him too much; she absolutely couldn't let him get into trouble because of her.
Seeing her stubborn expression, a hint of helplessness flashed in Wen Huaiyan's stern eyes: "Alright, I'll take you!"
As he spoke, he reached out and helped Li Ruo up, leading her to the next room.
In the ward, Lyon appeared to be resting with his eyes closed.
However, she seemed to be in good condition. Apart from being a little pale and having some gauze on her face and body, her condition was not as serious as Li Ruo had imagined.
Li Ruo breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he was alright.
She sighed and slowly walked into the ward: "Leon, how are you feeling now?"
Upon hearing her voice, the boy trembled, abruptly opened his eyes, first looked her up and down, then smiled and said, "Great, you're finally awake. It seems your body is alright."
Unexpectedly, Lyon was still concerned about her at this time. Li Ruo pursed her lips, feeling even more guilty.
"I'm sorry, Leon. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be hurt."
However, Lyon shook his head nonchalantly: "It's alright, this little injury is nothing to me, you don't need to worry about it."
You have to understand, slums are inherently unsafe, and he has been beaten countless times in his daily life in order to survive.
This kind of injury is nothing new to him.
It's already a blessing that he can be kept alive at all.
He didn't care, but Li Ruo just couldn't get over this hurdle.
After all, only she herself knew how serious the situation was at the time.
It was truly remarkable that Lyon, a complete stranger to her, would help her so much.
This kindness must be repaid!
Thinking of this, she said in a low voice, "How about this, I'll give you some money to support your schooling, so you won't have to live a life of hardship anymore. If you encounter any difficulties or problems later, you can come to me immediately."
As she spoke, she was about to give her phone number to the boy.
But just as she was about to look for paper, Leon refused, saying, "I don't want money."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo was slightly taken aback.
After all, she had seen firsthand Lyon's living conditions during that time.
The little guy grew up in the slums at a young age and is heavily in debt.
But now he doesn't want money?
Although she had doubts, Li Ruo fully respected Lyon's wishes and asked, "What do you want? Just tell me, and I will do my best to help you."
Lyon gently shook his head: "I didn't decide to save you for money or fame."
Knowing that he had misunderstood her meaning, Li Ruo quickly explained, "I know, but we're friends now, aren't we? Friends should help each other. Besides, you've saved me so many times. If I don't do something for you, I'll feel guilty."
Looking at her sincere expression, Leon carefully rolled his eyes and thought for a while before finally speaking thoughtfully, "If you really want to repay me, please grant me one request, okay?"
Li Ruo nodded without hesitation: "What are your requirements?"
Lyon blinked gently and said softly, "I hope you can take me back to your country."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo's eyes widened suddenly.
She wasn't trying to refuse, but rather she didn't understand why Lyon wouldn't accept her money and the opportunity to change his fate, instead choosing to go to a foreign country.
"Why?"
Seemingly afraid that she would misunderstand him, Leon hurriedly explained, "Actually, my father is Chinese. Due to some special reasons, he had to separate from my mother and return to China. Now that I have this opportunity, I want to go and find him."
