Chapter 114: Chapter 114 This Man is Hers
Song Shuyan was stunned, “What do you mean?”
Huo Tingdong said, “I once considered that marrying you would be the best way to take care of you, but now, I am unwilling.”
After speaking, he sipped his coffee lightly, his brows slightly knitted, “I admit, I feel guilty about Shuhao, but so many years have passed, it’s time for me to move on.”
He felt he had done all he could for Song Shuhao.
Song Shuyan’s frown deepened, her eyes reddening, yet she dared not cry.
Her face still had unhealed scratches that were infected and not yet healed, knowing that crying would likely lead to further infection.
But hearing Huo Tingdong’s resolute words, she couldn’t control her emotions, “Tingdong… I…”
Huo Tingdong said, “The hospital you contacted, I’ve already arranged everything. You will have someone to meet you when you go abroad, I will cover all expenses, you just need to focus on recovering. After going abroad, do not come back.”
After saying this, he stood up to leave.
Song Shuyan stood up excitedly, tears in her eyes, she asked, “Are you driving me away?”
Huo Tingdong’s back was to her, he did not turn around.
Song Shuyan urged anxiously, “Say something, are you really driving me abroad…”
Suddenly, she rushed towards Huo Tingdong and hugged his waist tightly from behind, “Tingdong, please don’t drive me away, okay? I was wrong, I know I was wrong… I was spoiled by you, I became too complacent… it’s because I care about you too much, the more I care, the more I’m afraid of losing you…”
Song Shuyan looked up, tears streaming down her face, “The more I care, the more uneasy I become. I’ve lost my brother, you are the person who loves me the most, so I desperately need a sense of stability, Tingdong, don’t drive me away.”
Huo Tingdong gently broke free from her hands, slowly turned around, and looked down at her, “Shuyan, you need to grow up.”
Having said that, he gently let go of her hands and walked out of the private room.
Song Shuyan collapsed to the floor, staring blankly at the open door, listening to the fading footsteps of Huo Tingdong, she pulled down her mask and bit her finger joint.
Since she couldn’t control her heart, she would emulate Lin Qi.
Huo Tingdong loved Han so much, giving all his attention and affection to Han.
What if she also bore him a son, could he change his heart back to her?
While Huo Tingdong was unconscious in bed, Song Shuyan had secretly taken his frozen sperm.
Although she really didn’t want to use a child to bind this man’s heart, she had no other options left at this juncture.
Abroad, they have the most advanced technology.
She must use this opportunity to turn her fate around beautifully.
If Lin Qi could bear a son, she could also gain stature by mothering a son.
Thinking this, Song Shuyan slowly stood up, her fists clenched tightly until her sharp nails cut into her palms unnoticed.
She was prepared mentally.
Huo Tingdong was hers…
Lin Qi was now gradually able to get out of bed and walk.
Han and Momo were at school.
With the help of a caregiver and holding a walker, she moved step by step with great difficulty.
Just walking from the bed to the door, she was already dripping with sweat.
Rehabilitation is indeed a painful and arduous process.
Her limbs were all stiff, and every step felt as if treading on the edge of a knife. Her arms were bent at an eerie angle, unable to straighten or exert force, entirely reliant on the support of the caregiver.
“Miss Lin, be careful, walk slowly, there’s no rush,” the caregiver guided patiently, “Considering the severity of your injuries, being able to get out of bed and walk is already quite impressive.”
Lin Qi responded, “I’ve only walked a few steps.”
The caregiver said, “You’ve been lying in bed for so long, immobile, these joints are bound to be stiff! How can you expect to walk briskly right after getting out of bed? Take it slow.”
Lin Qi continued walking for a while.
Just as she rounded a corner, Lin Qi suddenly saw a group of medical staff in white coats approaching, seemingly ready to inspect the wards.
“Good day, Young Director, and madam.”
Lin Qi couldn’t help but take a few more glances, but recognized a particularly striking man among the crowd.
Lin Qi suddenly remembered, this is Mingde Hospital, a private hospital wholly owned by the Lu Family.
The core of the Lu Family’s business is the medical industry, including several privately-owned hospitals. As the sole heir of the Lu Group, Lu Li graduated from Hopkins University majoring in critical care medicine, holding a doctoral degree, and is now the Young Director of Mingde Hospital.
Lu Li was dressed in a white suit paired with a black shirt and trousers, his sleeves meticulously rolled up, his dark hair neatly combed, sharp and neat. He had a handsome face, gentle as jade, exceptionally beautiful.
His gaze suddenly fixed on something, halting his steps.
Those beside him also stopped.
Everyone was puzzled by his pause and followed his gaze, their eyes simultaneously landing on Lin Qi.
At that moment, Lin Qi looked somewhat disheveled.
She was wearing a hospital gown inside out. Despite having improved her nutrition recently, she was still very thin, which made the gown look somewhat loose, her complexion pallid, and an IV drip connected to her hand.
She hadn’t expected to encounter Lu Li under such circumstances.
Everything about Lu Li seemed like a distant memory.
Suddenly, Lu Li shifted his gaze away, walking in the opposite direction; everyone immediately followed, gradually disappearing at the end of the hallway.
Lin Qi sighed in relief, probably because she looked so different from before that Lu Li didn’t recognize her.
It’s better he didn’t recognize her, to avoid awkwardness.
Then, the caregiver expressed in surprise, “I thought you knew the Young Director.”
Lin Qi shook her head, “I don’t.”
The caregiver nodded and couldn’t help exclaiming, “The Young Director is truly a young talent, only thirty years old and already holds a doctoral degree from Hopkins, not only dignified and graceful but also an outstanding future successor of the Lu Family.”
“Is that so,” Lin Qi smiled, “A PhD from Hopkins, that is indeed outstanding.”
Lu Li must have been here to inspect the wards, Lin Qi had heard that a critically ill patient had been transferred here recently.
Lin Qi said, “I would like to walk in the backyard.”
She intended to avoid Lu Li.
The caregiver said, “Miss Lin, you have already walked quite a distance today, don’t rush.”
Lin Qi replied, “I just want some fresh air, after all, I’ve been lying in bed for over a month, and it’s been a long time since I’ve breathed fresh air.”
The caregiver nodded, “Okay, then I’ll accompany you to the backyard.”
She accompanied Lin Qi, took the elevator downstairs, and walked step by step to the backyard with her.
Lin Qi was somewhat distracted, spacing out frequently, nearly falling several times.
Perhaps meeting Lu Li unexpectedly was too sudden.
