75: Chapter 75 Almost Forgotten About Her
75 -75 Almost Forgotten About Her
Lin Xinlan gazed out of the window, her eyes distant.
Rong Shaoze’s whispers to Du Ruoxin reached her ears but merely entered one and exited through the other.
Seeing how much Rong Shaoze cared for Du Ruoxin made Mr.
Du very happy, and they even looked upon Lin Xinlan with a bit more favor.
“How has her condition been recently?
What did the doctor say?” Rong Shaoze asked Mrs.
Du smiled and said, “The doctor mentioned that Ruoxin’s recovery is going very well.
If someone often says things that can influence her by her bedside, there’s a chance she might wake up soon.”
Clearly, the only person who could say things that would have an impact on Du Ruoxin was probably Rong Shaoze.
Du was indirectly asking Rong Shaoze to visit Du Ruoxin often.
Lin Xinlan looked at Rong Shaoze and said with a smile, “Rong Shaoze, haven’t you been quite free lately?
Usually, you are too busy to visit Miss Du, but now that you have some time, you could visit her more.
Maybe it would greatly help her recovery.”
Du were somewhat surprised; they hadn’t expected Lin Xinlan to urge Rong Shaoze to visit Du Ruoxin often.
“Yes, Shaoze, if you have the time, please do visit Ruoxin often.
She loves you so much; what you say will surely have a great impact on her,” Mr.
Du chimed in appropriately.
Rong Shaoze glanced at Lin Xinlan, his eyes seemingly carrying a profound meaning, but it quickly disappeared.
“Uncle Du is right; I should visit her more often.
I don’t have much going on recently, and if I’m free, I will come every day.”
If you talk to Ruoxin every day, she will definitely wake up!” Mrs.
Du was overjoyed, so excited she didn’t know what else to say.
She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said with relief.
“Shaoze, I always knew you loved Ruoxin too.”
Lin Xinlan lowered her eyes, thinking Mrs.
Du might be in for disappointment.
She could see that Rong Shaoze didn’t love Du Ruoxin; he just liked her a bit more, treating her a little more specially.
She still remembered what he once said, that no one deserved to hear him say “love”.
He held himself so high above others, all women were unworthy in his eyes, and he would never fall in love with any of them.
Besides, if he truly loved Du Ruoxin, he wouldn’t need to be told to visit her every day and talk to her at her bedside.
He didn’t, and he had nearly forgotten about her…
Could nobody see that this man’s heart was cold and unfeeling?
He could be affectionate, yet he was uniquely incapable of devotion…
However, the fact that Du Ruoxin received his special treatment must have already made her the only one.
After leaving the hospital, Lin Xinlan said indifferently, “I want to go to the supermarket to buy some things; you go back first.
I’ll return on my own later.”
It had been a long time since she had called Xiaocong; she missed the sound of his voice and wanted to give him a call.
“Hmm,” Rong Shaoze merely nodded his head, then left.
Lin Xinlan watched him walk away, then aimlessly wandered around the hospital plaza.
She sat by the fountain, took out her cell phone from her pocket, and dialed the familiar home number.
Just as always, the call was answered immediately as soon as she dialed.
“Mommy!” Xiaocong exclaimed joyfully, “It’s been such a long time since you called; Xiaocong really misses you.”
Lin Xinlan displayed a happy smile and said softly, “Baby, Mommy misses you too.
What are you doing right now?”
“I’m learning to recite a poem!
Grandma taught me one yesterday, and I’m listening to the recorder, trying hard to memorize it.”
