"Jinghan, I only have this one daughter. If she leaves, how will I live in the days to come? I beg you, for your aunt’s sake, please don’t make things difficult for us."
"If not for your aunt’s sake, Lin Weiyang would have been dead by now."
Lin Weiyang stood there like a piece of wood, Lu Jinghan’s words like a dagger piercing sharply into her heart.
"Even if I don’t want the position of Mrs. Lu and I am willing to be your woman outside, is that not allowed?"
"In this lifetime, I only want Han Xi as my woman."
Lin Weiyang’s hands, hanging by her sides, clenched tightly into fists, the veins on her hands showing due to the force.
Those pitch-black eyes were desolate, barren.
"I want to see you leave An City by tomorrow, otherwise, three days from now will be the day the Lin Family declares bankruptcy."
Lu Jinghan looked at Lin Weiyang with distance and coldness in his eyes, stood up from the sofa, and left in large strides.
Lin Dongyang anxiously paced back and forth in the living room, the Lin Family was built up through his hard work, and if they go bankrupt, how will he and his daughter live?
After pondering, he decided to make a trip to the Lin Family’s old house, as now only Old Master Lu could stop Lu Jinghan.
Lu Jinghan drove home and when he pushed open the bedroom door, Han Xi was sleeping soundly. He gently changed into cotton loungewear, lifted the quilt, and lay down beside her.
When his body touched Han Xi, Lu Jinghan’s brow furrowed tightly. He raised a hand to place on Han Xi’s forehead, which was burning hot.
Lu Jinghan got up, picked up the phone from the bedside table, and called Doctor Liu from the Lu Family’s old house, asking him to come over quickly.
After hanging up, Lu Jinghan went to the bathroom to get a wet towel to put on Han Xi’s forehead, then took out a thermometer to check her temperature, which was 38.9 degrees.
Han Xi mumbled in a daze, "So cold... cat... cat."
"Don’t worry, there are no cats here."
Lu Jinghan tucked in Han Xi’s quilt, and just when he picked up the phone to urge Doctor Liu to hurry, Old Master Lu’s call came through, afraid of waking Han Xi, he directly hung up.
Dialing Doctor Liu’s number, the other end said he had already arrived at the villa gate.
Lu Jinghan went downstairs to let Doctor Liu in and briefly explained Han Xi’s condition.
Doctor Liu finished examining Han Xi and looked at the scratches on her hand, "The young lady’s wounds may have been infected with bacteria, causing the high fever. I’ll give her an IV drip now, but if the fever doesn’t subside by tomorrow, we’ll need to go to the hospital."
"Okay, I understand."
Doctor Liu took out an IV bottle from the medical kit, bent over, and prepared to insert the needle into Han Xi. When the needle pricked the vein, Han Xi frowned and mumbled, "Jinghan... it hurts..."
Lu Jinghan painfully held Han Xi’s burning little hand, saying in a calm voice, "Be gentle, don’t hurt her."
"Yes, yes, I’ll be gentle."
Doctor Liu felt helpless, it was impossible for an injection not to hurt.
After setting up the IV drip for Han Xi, Doctor Liu left.
Lu Jinghan leaned back on the bed, his large hand always holding Han Xi’s small one, afraid she might touch the needle.
It took over two hours for the IV to finish. After removing the needle, Lu Jinghan lay down beside Han Xi.
The next morning, Han Xi groggily opened her eyes, feeling completely weak.
She turned on her side, and saw Lu Jinghan’s deep and striking features, instinctively reaching out her small hand to caress his eyebrows, nose, mouth....
