She pressed her hand to her chest, whispering softly, "It hurts here, it’s very uncomfortable."
That was where her heart was.
Rong Shaoze’s eyes flashed slightly as he quickly said, "Let’s go to the hospital to get it checked out now."
He put his arm around her and started to walk outside.
Lin Xinlan shook her head, her gaze carrying a trace of sadness, still looking at him deeply.
Something inside the man’s heart feared, he always felt that she was not quite right.
Could it be that she had found out something?
"Rong Shaoze..." Lin Xinlan looked steadily at him, not missing any expression on his face.
"Tell me the truth, what exactly happened to Xiaocong? I don’t want you to placate me, or hide anything from me. I want to hear the truth."
"Why are you thinking nonsense again? Haven’t I told you..."
"I am his mother, I have the right to know his current condition. Stop hiding it from me, I don’t want to be kept in the dark, I don’t want to end up hating you."
The man’s gaze narrowed as Lin Xinlan continued, "If I don’t know anything and find out later, I will definitely hate you. Please, tell me, what happened to Xiaocong? A mother and son share a heart, and I’ve been worrying about him all along. I can feel it, something has happened to him."
"Still not willing to tell me? If you won’t say it, then I’ll talk to the Madam. She will definitely force it out of you."
Lin Xinlan, angry, was about to leave when Rong Shaoze grabbed her, pulling her tightly into his arms, his voice hoarse and deep, "Okay, I’ll tell you everything."
In Lin Xinlan’s mind, it felt as if something had suddenly exploded.
Did something really happen to Xiaocong?
Feeling her body stiffen, Rong Shaoze held her even tighter.
He hurried to say, "I can tell you, but you have to promise me that you’ll stay calm. Otherwise, I won’t tell you."
"Tell me! Whatever the outcome, I can accept it!" Lin Xinlan responded immediately.
Just hearing the desperation in her voice, he knew she wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Rong Shaoze sighed and said gently, "Before I tell you, I need to let you know that Xiaocong is definitely fine now, you have to believe me."
"What exactly happened?" Lin Xinlan asked, trembling.
Rong Shaoze explained the whole situation and his recent actions and analysis.
Lin Xinlan’s complexion was deathly pale, utterly devoid of color.
Rong Shaoze watched her and after slowly finishing his explanation, he affirmed to her again, "You believe me, Xiaocong is fine now."
Lin Xinlan’s eyes brimmed with tears, and the large droplets suddenly fell, uncontrollable.
"Why didn’t you tell me sooner!" She pounded on him with her fists, suddenly breaking down into anguished sobs.
Rong Shaoze embraced her tightly, his voice filled with pain, "I didn’t tell you because I was afraid it would hurt you. Xinlan, trust me, I will find Xiaocong safe and unharmed."
"Xiaocong... wuu... my son..." Lin Xinlan bit down hard on her teeth, crying heart-wrenchingly.
Her heart felt as though someone was viciously stabbing it with a knife, causing her entire body to spasm in pain.
"Xinlan, don’t be sad, Xiaocong won’t be harmed..."
Lin Xinlan couldn’t hear his comforting words, she cried out loud, "He’s only five years old, he’s so young, just graduated from kindergarten... he has never suffered before... wuu, he must be very scared now, surely waiting for his dad and mom to come rescue him..."
"Xinlan, please, stop crying."
