"Miss Cheng, it’s not very appropriate to investigate others’ privacy, you know?"
Cheng Ying gave her assistant a fierce glare, "If you don’t want to investigate, then get out of here! There are plenty of people who want to be my assistant!"
Startled by Cheng Ying’s outburst, the assistant hurriedly nodded frantically, "Alright, Miss Cheng, I’ll go investigate right away."
Cheng Ying withdrew her cold gaze and raised her chin, "That’s more like it. Remember, investigate thoroughly. I don’t like ambiguities."
Actually, Lin’s mother’s identity wasn’t hard to uncover. The assistant quickly found out from a nurse that the woman had just undergone a major kidney transplant surgery and would be discharged the day after tomorrow.
Cheng Ying sat on the hospital bed, quietly listening. No wonder she felt the woman looked familiar; she had seen her before, more than once.
"A kidney transplant surgery?" Cheng Ying asked.
"Yes, Miss Lin Yixun’s mother had end-stage renal disease and underwent a kidney transplant not long ago."
Cheng Ying’s eyes flickered as she muttered to herself, "So that’s it. So that’s it..."
She was puzzled. Given how Leng Yixiu had done things so ruthlessly back then, the likelihood of anyone returning to his side was incredibly slim, especially someone like Lin Yixun.
Cheng Ying knew a bit about her rival Lin Yixun. Born with a silver spoon, people like her shared a common trait—a stronger sense of self-esteem than ordinary people.
With her personality, no matter what, she wouldn’t willingly return to Leng Yixiu’s side, and certainly not in such a disgraceful manner.
But now, understanding Lin Yixun’s mother’s condition, Cheng Ying thought it through and quickly connected all the dots. The answer was glaringly obvious. The reason Lin Yixun could willingly stay by Leng Yixiu’s side couldn’t be other than for her mother.
A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Cheng Ying’s beautiful face. She thought she knew where to strike. She was very curious, if Lin Yixun’s mother knew that her daughter had gone back to their enemy, how would she react?
The assistant noticed Cheng Ying’s increasingly eerie gaze, feeling an involuntary chill in her heart. She timidly suggested, "Miss Cheng, it’s time for your medication."
Cheng Ying collected her thoughts and quickly returned to her usual elegance, smiling as she took the medication from her assistant’s hand, "Look at me, how could I forget such an important thing."
She tilted her head back, swallowing the medicine down her throat. Cheng Ying’s mood was exceptionally good. She needed to take good care of her health and rest well because a great drama was about to unfold. Follow current novᴇls on n0velfire.net
After her walk, Lin Yixun took her mother’s recent medical report to the doctor. After analyzing Lin’s mother’s current condition, the doctor said that with one more day of observation, she could be discharged smoothly.
Lin Yixun was overjoyed at this news.
Yesterday, she had found a two-bedroom apartment not far from her company. The apartment had all the necessary appliances and was in a well-maintained community, ideal for her mother to recuperate.
She planned to clean up the apartment in the afternoon and complete the discharge procedures the day after tomorrow to bring her mother to the apartment. Soon after, her father would also be released from prison. Then, their family could start fresh, simple and joyful.
However, sometimes, things in one’s imagination are always better than reality.
The next morning, after finishing her meal, Lin’s mother felt idle and decided to go downstairs for a walk along the lakeside path to help digestion. The caregiver aunt initially intended to accompany her but was refused.
