Chapter 137
In the morning, Shen Ron walked Cheng Lydia to the entrance of Yahn Hospital.
He unbuckled both of them and leaned over to pick up her jaw with his long fingers, giving her a sloppy kiss, “I’ll pick you up this afternoon, but it might be ten minutes later than you.”
“It’s okay.” Cheng Lydia watched him, hesitating for a couple of seconds before saying carefully, “Ron, go up and see June, you haven’t been to see her in ages.”
Hearing this from Cheng Lydia, Shen Ron froze, and he even wondered if he had heard it wrong.
The greatest and most forgiving woman would not be able to ask her husband to visit another woman on her own initiative like she did, wouldn’t she? Even if she doesn’t love him and doesn’t care about him, she’s not obligated to ask him to visit another woman.
Seeing his astonishment, Cheng Lydia added, “I just think June is so pathetic, you should go see her, don’t worry, I won’t fight with a patient.”
Shen Ron held her fingertips up to brush over her pink lips and said helplessly, “You’re really weird enough to keep me in the dark.”
“Are you going to see her?” Cheng Lydia asked afterwards.
“Talk about it.” Shen Ron released her and slammed the door, “Get out of the car, you’re going to be late.”
“Okay, take care on the road.” Cheng Lydia didn’t understand exactly what was going through his mind, and certainly couldn’t continue to advise him, pushing open the car door and getting out.
Despite taking some verbal abuse from her colleagues, working here is quite fulfilling and Cheng Lydia doesn’t care. Besides, she didn’t come back to make herself happy at work, but to make it easier to take care of Yang June.
In the less than two years that followed Yang June, she wanted to do her duty as a sister and be with her in her final days.
In the afternoon after work, Cheng Lydia changed out of her work clothes and went to Yang June’s hospital room to help her wipe herself, tidy up her room, and order a pot of moonflowers in full bloom from a nearby florist to place on the windowsill.
The whole ward is enlivened with the accent of moonflowers.
When serving Yang June, Cheng Lydia felt as if she was back to the days when she was taking care of her mother, and she was also silently accompanying her, even if she didn’t get any response from her mother, she was extremely happy in her heart.
Cheng Lydia helped Yang June pull the covers back on when she heard the door open from behind her.
They thought it was Mrs. Yang coming over, but when they turned around they saw Shen Ron standing in the doorway. A flash of surprise crossed his face and he said, “You’re here.”
Today he said ‘let’s talk about it’ and she thought that meant he wasn’t coming, but she didn’t expect him to come over this afternoon. It seemed that his feelings for Yang June were always there, and Cheng Lydia, who had discovered this layer of truth, was happy in her heart.
He pronounces Yang June, which means his feelings for her haven’t changed!
Even though she couldn’t tell him the truth now, couldn’t be the person he was in his heart, though she was happy enough to feel his affection.
Shen Ron surveyed the basin and towel at her side, and with a surprised look on his face, asked suspiciously, “You’re rubbing June down?”
“Yeah, well, I was bored waiting for you to come over anyway, so I came up to help her out.”
“Isn’t there an escort?”
“I’ve been taking care of my mom for five years and I’m a doctor, so no caregiver is more skilled than me.”
No amount of good explanation could make Shen Ron understand Cheng Lydia’s actions.
He swept around the ward, tidier than when he’d arrived earlier, then dropped his gaze to the bouquet of moonflowers on the windowsill.
Bright bathing moonflower that looks like it was just plugged in.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Cheng Lydia noticed that he was staring at the moonflower, as it were, and added, “I thought it would make her feel better to put in some of her favorite flowers, and freshen the air.”
“That’s enough!” Shen Ron asked as he grabbed her arm and sized her up, “Lydia, what the hell are you trying to do? This is not in your character.”
Cheng Lydia took a light breath and stared at him for a long moment before saying, “Just think of me as wanting to take good care of her because I feel upset about stealing her happiness, I really mean no harm.”
“Is that all?” He asked, a reason that was somewhat justified.
“Yes.”
Shen Ron’s face eased and his tone followed suit, “You don’t have to feel uneasy, June she is very kind and will not blame you.”
June is kind, in his heart, is June really kind? Kind enough to not care about people stealing men from her? Cheng Lydia mentally laughed bitterly.
Exiting Yang June’s hospital room and getting into the car, Cheng Lydia looked sideways at Shen Ron and hesitantly said, “Can you take me on the same walk you and June took together?”
She wanted to know about that past so badly, so badly that she and Shen Ron wanted to know a little bit about what she and Shen Ron had done back then. So much so that Shen Ron was already showing a face full of surprise, and she added without giving up, “I want to go through it with you, too.”
Shen Ron shook his head, “It’s been too long and a lot of things have changed.”
“A little bit would be nice.” She craved it a few times.
“Okay.” He finally nodded, starting the car and heading for the suburban side.
As the car passed the west side of the city, Cheng Lydia noticed that the casino on the west side of the city was already under construction, Shen Ron slowed the car down and said to her softly in a sideways voice, “It’s not safe here under construction, let’s come back when it’s built, okay?”
Cheng Lydia nodded, sizing him up and asking, “Is it true that you decided to make this a casino because of June?”
“Well, just to fulfill her dream while she’s alive.”
Was it her dream to make this a casino back then? Why didn’t she remember anything about it herself? Even this place felt foreign.
Shen Ron is really a very good man, affectionate and willing to fight to the end against the old lady for the one he loves.
“Look, I told you we shouldn’t have come.” Shen Ron said painfully as he raised his hand to gently uncover a tear that had accidentally slipped from the corner of her eye.
Cheng Lydia was busy raising her hand to wipe her face, and felt the wetness on her face before she was surprised to realize that she was actually moved to tears.
“I’m sorry for accidentally being touched by your love.” She smiled apologetically.
“From what I remember, you weren’t that emotional, what changed you.” He asked.
Cheng Lydia thought about it, “Maybe it’s because so much has happened lately that it’s become emotional.”
“So are we going to keep going?”
“Where to?” Cheng Lydia was a little confused.
“To the place where June and I spent time together.”
“To.” Cheng Lydia said, almost without thinking.
The car restarted and continued on to the western suburbs as Cheng Lydia looked in the rearview mirror at the fading construction site. She really wanted to tell Shen Ron that the June in the first place was probably just a casual remark that didn’t need to be taken too seriously.
Fifteen minutes later, the car pulled up in front of a small compound that appeared to be deserted.
The window slowly fell, a fresh scent of roses came through the window, and Cheng Lydia was instantly stunned by the roses that covered the wall.
