58 -58: Prepare to Remain a Widow for the Rest of Your Life
“Come with me, and you’re not allowed to tell anyone about this, do you hear me?” he said, gripping her hand fiercely.
Lin Xinlan nodded, knowing that this was something she couldn’t talk about.
Once out, not only would Rong Shaoze not forgive her, but his grandparents and parents wouldn’t either.
The two of them arrived at a private hospital where a man named Tao Hua, who wore glasses, had a gentle demeanor, and was the owner of the hospital, received them.
In the luxurious reception room on the top floor, Rong Shaoze’s face was somber as he roughly explained the situation.
Tao Hua listened quietly the entire time, his expression not changing much.
After listening, he said with a slight smile, “Generally, if you wore a ‘condom’, the chances of infection are not high.
However, to be on the safe side, it’s best to observe for some time before concluding.
During this period, you’ll have to stay in my hospital, as you’re a high-risk patient and need to be quarantined.”
“How long will it take to get the results?” he asked indifferently.
Rong Shaoze’s expression grew even darker; he hated staying in hospitals, to say nothing of having to stay for so long.
“That won’t work, I’m not staying here.
To spend more than a month in a hospital, you might as well kill me!
Check me quickly, I need to go back,” he said without any room for negotiation, his tone arrogant and capricious.
Lin Xinlan wanted to persuade him, but held back her words at the last moment.
After all, Rong Shaoze was someone whose word was law.
Any attempt at reasoned persuasion would be futile.
Tao Hua was aware of this as well and did not insist on Rong Shaoze staying for observation.
After arranging the examination, he instructed him to pay close attention to his health and to come for a check-up immediately if he felt unwell.
Rong Shaoze pressed his lips together, not saying a word and not even nodding; it was unclear whether he took Tao Hua’s words to heart.
Lin Xinlan, conversely, was listening attentively.
Seeing her responsiveness, Tao Hua directly entrusted her with his instructions.
“You’re his wife, take good care of him during this time.
Be mindful of his diet and everything else, and remember, don’t let him touch you, okay?
What if he really is infected and accidentally transmits it to you?” Tao Hua deliberately said this in front of Rong Shaoze.
Rong Shaoze snorted coldly, his face very unpleasant.
Lin Xinlan nodded; she had no intention of letting Rong Shaoze touch her again.
On the way back, Rong Shaoze was silent the whole time, his mood even somewhat depressed, and Lin Xinlan remained quiet too; if he didn’t speak, she certainly wasn’t going to foolishly upset him.
The car stopped in front of the villa.
Rong Shaoze didn’t get out immediately but gripped the steering wheel and asked her, his voice low, “What if I really am infected?”
Lin Xinlan was momentarily stunned, hearing a note of helplessness in Rong Shaoze’s tone.
In her eyes, Rong Shaoze was an invincible figure, and now he too must feel that there are some things beyond his control.
She opened the car door and replied indifferently, “If you’re infected, it’s your own fault!
Who told you to not control yourself?
You’ve hurt too many girls; this is retribution!”
Who did you say has hurt too many girls?
They slept with me voluntarily.
I paid money, and they sold their bodies to me; it’s a fair trade!
And if I do get infected, you better prepare to be a widow for the rest of your life!”
Lin Xinlan stood outside, slamming the car door shut with a smirk and a glance at him.
“Isn’t that what you said?
Once Du Ruoxin wakes up, we’ll get a divorce.
So whether I’ll be a widow for the rest of my life is yet to be decided,” she said.
“You…” Rong Shaoze hurried out of the car, not angry but laughed instead.
