Chapter 139
Hand in hand, Cheng Lydia had just entered the school when she saw a young man with a round head and a round face sizing her up. She leaned uncomfortably towards Shen Ron and looked down to avoid the other man’s gaze.
She didn’t know the man, but the other man seemed to know her, and she didn’t know whether she should face him as Cheng Lydia or as Yang June, so she just pretended not to know him.
The young man had gotten closer and stormed out in surprise, “Hey, aren’t you the famous little pepper in our class? What’s the name again …?”
Cheng Lydia panicked and gave him a small smile, “My name is Yang June.”
“Yang June? Is that right …?” The young man scratched his round head, for a moment he could not remember what her name was, but soon he did not dwell on what Cheng Lydia’s name really was, but smiled and said, “I am Liu Xiaofat ah, we have done a lot of fights back then, you do not recognize me now? Oh, no wonder, if it wasn’t for this brother beside you, I wouldn’t have recognized you either, the little girl has changed quite a lot, I don’t recognize her at all!”
“Yeah, everyone’s changed a lot.” Cheng Lydia smiled dryly and asked politely, “Haven’t seen you in so long, where have you been hanging out lately?”
“Me? I’m taking over my dad’s company, of course.”
“Oh, it’s quite all right.”
“By the way, I’m in a bit of a hurry, so leave me a number and I’ll buy you dinner some time.”
“Good … ah.” Cheng Lydia took out her phone and was about to dial Fatty Liu’s number when she was stopped back by Shen Ron.
“No need to leave a phone number, she’s my wife now.” Shen Ron announced with a calm look on his face.
Fatty Liu took a look at Shen Ron, the experience of being subdued by Shen Ron within one move was still in his mind back then, and he certainly did not dare to provoke him. However, what he found new was that Cheng Lydia had actually gotten married, and was still married to this brother.
Cheng Lydia was a little embarrassed and a little uncomfortable.
Liu Xiaofang was also a bit resentful and left after waving at Cheng Lydia.
Once Liu Xiaofang left, Shen Ron took the initiative to explain, “He was in the same class as June, and he often bullied June because of his family’s money, and the two of them had quite a few fights.”
“The family is rich?”
“Not bad, the family owns a garment factory.”
Cheng Lydia’s mind had been clear, it seemed she hadn’t been bullied much as a child because of her family.
Shen Ron took Cheng Lydia for a wander around inside the campus and spent a few moments at the courts before walking out together.
As the car started again, Shen Ron asked Cheng Lydia sideways, “What do you want to eat later?”
It was already dark, and the time for dinner had long since arrived.
“Whatever.” Cheng Lydia said indifferently.
After grabbing a quick bite to eat outside, the two headed back to Shen Mansion, where the old lady saw the two returning together, Cheng Lydia with flowers in her arms, and asked with delight, “Those are beautiful flowers, did Ron give them to you?”
Cheng Lydia glanced at Shen Ron and nodded, sort of a gift from him.
“That’s right, a young couple should love each other and have a good time.” Mrs. Shen asked with concern, “By the way, have you eaten? I’ll ask the kitchen to make something to eat?”
“No, we’ve already eaten.” Cheng Lydia said.
“Oh, that’s fine, then hurry up and go to your room and rest.”
“We’re going up, then.” Shen Ron took Cheng Lydia by the shoulders and headed for the second floor.
Cheng Lydia inserted the bunch of roses into a vase, watered it, and placed it in the center of the bedroom.
With the accent of the roses, the bedroom looks a little more vibrant and soothing than before.
Accompanied by the scent of roses, Cheng Lydia drifted off to sleep after a tiring day, and after an unknown amount of time, she felt something moving on her body and couldn’t shake it off.
She opened her eyelids in a ghostly manner, and when she came into contact with Shen Ron’s lust-tinged eyes, her sleep instantly cleared half of her mind and she opened her mouth to call out, “Ron …”
He let out a soft ‘mmm’, his large warm palms roaming over her body, eventually moving to her eyes and saying in a dumb voice, “Close them.”
Cheng Lydia closed her eyes good-naturedly, she was too embarrassed to have to face him at a time like this.
The next moment, his kisses fell like rain on her skin …
Cheng Lydia changed the fresh roses in Yang June’s ward as usual, rubbed her body and talked with her.
There was a knock at the door of the ward and Cheng Lydia thought it was the nursing lady, so she did not turn around but kept her head down and continued to cut Yang June’s fingernails.
It was only after the startling realization that the door to the ward was clearly open, but there was no movement, that he turned his head.
Appearing in front of her was a strange man with a long, lifted body and handsome face.
The man was probably in his early thirties, his expression flat, his deep gaze falling on the face of Yang June in the hospital bed.
“You …” She stood up abruptly from her chair, sized up the man, and asked, “Who are you?”
The man finally moved his gaze from Yang June to Cheng Lydia’s face and smiled blandly at her, “I heard you had memory loss, so it’s true.”
“Who the hell are you?”
“My name is Wang Boyce.”
Wang Boyce? Cheng Lydia recalled in her mind that the man in front of her was indeed unfamiliar in her only five years of memory, but the name Wang Boyce …
“I’m June’s half-brother, and I covered for you guys a lot of the time when you and June were sneaking out.” Wang Boyce tugged his lips into a slight smile.
However, even with a smile, Cheng Lydia still felt the coldness permeating his face.
She suddenly remembered that she had met the name within Yang June’s journal.
But she remembers that Yang June didn’t like this brother of hers, and the words reveal her dislike for him.
“Hello.” Cheng Lydia returned his polite smile with a quizzical tone, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you visit June before.”
Wang Boyce nodded, “I left the country the second month June was married and have not returned during that time until today.”
“Oh …” Cheng Lydia always felt that there was a story in it when she heard him say that, but because of the rustiness between her and Wang Boyce, she didn’t continue to ask, but said to him, “Then you stay here with June, I’ll go back first.”
Cheng Lydia gave him a small nod and took a step towards the door of the ward.
As she passed Wang Boyce’s side, her wrist suddenly tightened and she was stunned for a moment, looking down at Wang Boyce’s large palm gripping her wrist and then looking up at him in surprise.
What’s he doing here?
Wang Boyce turned his face sideways and stared at her, “I’m here to see you.”
“Looking for me?” Cheng Lydia froze again.
“Looking for a favor.”
Cheng Lydia grew more and more puzzled and said, “What kind of favor?”
Wang Boyce took her palm and in his other hand, as if by magic, he added a sealed glass vial and placed it in her palm saying in one word, “Help me inject this into her veins in one month.”
Cheng Lydia suddenly retracted her palm, but Wang Boyce clutched it tightly, and if it wasn’t for Wang Boyce, the bottle would probably have fallen to the ground. And Wang Boyce also expected her to react in this way, so he reacted faster than her.
Cheng Lydia blushed slightly and stared at him, “What the hell do you want?”
“In a month June will either be dead or awake, but either outcome will be a relief for her.”
“Die …?” Cheng Lydia shook her head, “No, I can’t let her die.”
With that, she glared at him indignantly and questioned, “Why on earth did you do that? Even if June hates you, you can’t do this to her!”
Nasty … Wang Boyce heart tightened, indifferent gaze swept to the bed Yang June, gritted his teeth and sneered, “What else can I do? I want her to die, I want to hog the Yang family’s property, and when she dies, the Yang family is mine.”
“You …” Cheng Lydia’s heart instantly chilled.
Wang Boyce then spoke, “It took me over four whole years for this bottle of medicine, and what I gave she will never see because in her mind, I am such an all-around evil person.”
Cheng Lydia’s brain was muddled by his words, what the hell was he talking about!
Wang Boyce turned to her abruptly, “When June dies, you and Shen Ron will no longer be in the way.”
“I’m not afraid to get in the way, I just want her to be okay.” Cheng Lydia shook her head, she had never wanted to get Yang June killed, not before, and even less now.
“Want her to be well? All the more reason to get the drugs in her then.” Wang Boyce sneered, “If you’re really that great, then do as I say and maybe she’ll wake up in a month.”
“Do you want June alive or dead?”
“Live.”
“Can I trust you?”
“You don’t believe me, June will live less than two more years at best, and will still die as usual.”
“I need to know the ingredients and nature of this medicine.” Cheng Lydia sized him up for a long moment before speaking hesitantly.
She didn’t entirely believe Wang Boyce’s words; after all, she didn’t know him or know him well.
“There’s no need, and with Yahn’s water commentary it may not be researched.” Wang Boyce swept Yang June away once more and turned towards the door of the ward.
Cheng Lydia raised her voice at his back and asked, “If you really care about June, why don’t you stay here with her a little longer?”
Wang Boyce’s steps stopped slightly as Cheng Lydia continued, “After four years of not seeing her, don’t you miss her at all?”
Responding to her were the fading footsteps of Wang Boyce.
Cheng Lydia took a light breath and lifted the vial of medicine in her hand a hair’s breadth higher, peering at it intently.
The black bottle, with no word-for-word instructions, is impossible to see with the naked eye.
Cheng Lydia put down the pill bottle, stepped over to Yang June’s bed, leaned down to survey her and asked, “June, do you trust your Boyce brother?”
Yang June, of course, could not respond to her, nor could she give her an answer.
The door to the ward, however, was thrown open at that moment, and Cheng Lydia was startled and looked up at the door.
Lady Yang stepped in front of her and reached out to snatch the medicine bottle out of her hand.
“Mrs. Young, you … are.” Cheng Lydia froze, sizing her up in surprise.
When did she get here? Did she already know about Wang Boyce coming here?
Mrs. Yang squeezed the medicine bottle with an indifferent face and said, “Wang Boyce’s words can’t be trusted, don’t believe him.”
She really knew what Wang Boyce was up to with this.
Cheng Lydia was silent for a moment and said, “I want to know if the … relationship between Wang Boyce and June is as bad as June’s diary says it is or not.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Mrs. Yang also had some silence before she replied, “Wang Boyce likes June, but June likes Shen Ron, Wang Boyce has always been rather self-pitying because of his status, and I never intended to marry June to him, a man who became hateful out of love, do you think he will help June? ”
So that’s it!
No wonder she had just seen something different in Wang Boyce’s eyes, and tragically he was reluctant to give Yang June more than a passing glance.
“I feel that to hate out of love may not be true hate, and perhaps you could try to trust him.”
“It’s not gambling to lose money, it’s gambling to lose June’s life.” Mrs. Yang put the medicine bottle into her bag, “You don’t have to care about this, and don’t tell Shen Ron, my own daughter will decide for herself.”
After Mrs. Yang had said so, Cheng Lydia could not say anything else, and after nodding gently, she turned around and walked out of Yang June’s ward.
Shen Ron was already waiting downstairs when Cheng Lydia got down to the first floor, and she pulled open the passenger side seat door and got in, saying, “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“It’s okay, it’s early anyway.” Shen Ron started the car.
As the car pulled out of the hospital, Shen Ron asked her sideways, “Want to go home and eat or eat out?”
“Go home and eat, it’s cleaner at home.”
“Good.” Shen Ron drove the car in the direction of home.
Cheng Lydia looked sideways at Shen Ron, mentally thinking about Wang Boyce as she hesitated to tell him about today’s events.
“Why are you staring at me like that?” Shen Ron felt one her gaze and tugged his lips up in a smile.
“Wanted to ask you a question.”
“Ask away.”
Cheng Lydia hesitated for a moment before asking, “Do you know the man Wang Boyce?”
Surprised, Shen Ron looked at her and asked, “Why are you asking about him all of a sudden?”
“He went to see June in the hospital today, but there was some odd behavior, especially the way he treated June.”
Shen Ron nodded and smiled lightly, “He’s finally back home.”
After a pause, he added, “I’m not very familiar with him, I only met him once when I first went up to the Yang family to propose marriage, but I could see that his feelings for June were not like that of a brother, but rather like lovers. He left the country the second month after June and I got married, and didn’t come back until today.”
“So … what do you think he’s out of the country for?”
“Who knows?” Shen Ron shrugged, “After all, I don’t know him well enough to think about getting to know him.”
Cheng Lydia thought for a moment and added, “Do you think it’s credible to say that he went abroad to research a treatment drug for Yang June?”
Shen Ron was surprised again, he had never thought of the possibility, but he knew that Wang Boyce had been interested in medicine since he was a child, only to be forced into working for The Yang Family.
“There’s nothing untrustworthy about it, the magic of love.” Shen Ron asked her, “Did Wang Boyce tell you something?”
Cheng Lydia remembered Mrs. Yang’s instructions not to tell Shen Ron. as she did, she shook her head, “Not really, it was my own guess.”
Shen Ron smiled and didn’t say anything else.
When Shen Ron pulled up in front of a supermarket, Cheng Lydia scanned the window and was about to ask a question when Shen Ron smiled and said, “Suddenly I miss the days when I lived in Tai On Drama, when you cooked and I washed the dishes and there was no one else to disturb me.”
He meant … Cheng Lydia got it instantly.
Ruiz smiled back and said, “Then I’ll have to buy more bowls back, and ones that are resistant to breaking.”
“So distrustful of your husband.” Shen Ron rubbed his hand on the top of her head and fell pushing the door open first to get out of the car.
Cheng Lydia followed and got out of the car, taking his arm and heading inside the supermarket.
