Chapter 105
“You …” Ho Gina swallowed hard, her heartbeat instantly racing, and stammered, “You’re … So you’re really …?”
“It’s me, you guessed it right.” Cor interrupted her broken words, “Surprised, aren’t you? But you don’t have a chance to let a second person know anymore. Miss Ho, who made you so naive? You should have taken a good look at yourself in the mirror… if you want to marry Ron, you’ll probably have a chance.”
“You … you’ll get what’s coming to you! You … ah …!” A sharp braking sound cut through the sky, accompanied by Ho Gina’s terrified scream.
In her ear, Cole left her with an icy final word: “Shen Ron is mine, and no one can take it away …”
Shen Ron is hers, Ho Gina laughed bitterly, she always thought Shen Ron was Yang June s and Cheng Lydia s, she didn t expect … it.
Turns out I’ve been doing something really stupid all along!
Outside the hospital’s brain surgery, Cheng Lydia held her mother’s palm for a long time, as if releasing her hand would be a permanent goodbye.
She was truly afraid that this goodbye would really be forever, which is why she wanted to feel more of her mother’s body heat, her mother’s living breath, at this time.
The chief surgeon urged her to let go and not delay the operation.
“Mom, you have to come out alive.” She choked out the words, and as soon as her grip on her mother’s fingers loosened, she was instantly wheeled into the operating room.
Her feet drew back, her back against the cold wall, and her body slid a little to sit on the floor, burying her head in a low whimper.
She didn’t dare to cry too loudly for fear of disturbing others. Her slim body trembled gently, looking lonely and isolated in the cold corridor.
At this time she so desperately wanted someone to be by her side and help her share the pressure in her heart, but … Shen Ron did not come and Chung Grace was far away, these two people closest to her were not by her side at this time.
She needed an embrace to let out her heart, so badly.
Just as she felt like she was about to faint and fall to the ground, her body suddenly warmed and she was brought into a warm embrace.
She closed her eyes and let the tears roll down her cheeks, wishing the person holding her in her arms was Chung Grace or Shen Ron, but it was no one, the strong masculine scent wrapped around her, since it was Gu William’s.
His warm breath brushed against her ear and he laughed softly, “The surgery has just begun and you’re already deflating yourself, how does that work?”
“I’ll hate myself for the rest of my life if mom doesn’t survive.” Cheng Lydia didn’t care who the man holding her was at this point, and her tears spilled into someone’s arms.
At this moment, what did she have to pick from? Who cares if it’s Shen Ron or Gu William!
“It will survive, don’t worry.” Gu William ran his palm through her soft hair, softly reassuring.
Cheng Lydia stopped talking and her mood gradually turned calm.
“Come on, go sit here and wait.” Gu William let go of her and took her hand and headed for the chair next to him.
“Have you eaten breakfast yet? Do you want something to eat?” Gu William handed her a tissue, seeing how sad and upset she was, he was really worried that she wouldn’t even be in the mood for breakfast.
Cheng Lydia, who could care less about eating at this point, nor was she in the mood at all, nodded perfunctorily as she did, “Ate.”
“Thank you.” A calmed Cheng Lydia lifted her head and rushed him in gratitude.
“Thanks for what? I’ll do everything for Shen Ron in the future that he didn’t do.” Gu William said with a smile.
Cheng Lydia wiped away the tears on her face with a tissue and hid the emotion in her heart.
She was really afraid that she would one day fall into the tenderness given by Gu William, really afraid.
“How about … we have a little gossip? Take the pressure off your mind?” Gu William suddenly smiled at her.
Cheng Lydia gave her a disinterested look, “What gossip?”
“I’ll tell you the news that I don’t know if it’s considered good or bad.” Gu William looked at her and when she didn’t respond, as she did, she continued, “Ho Gina just died in a car accident on her way to the airport.”
Cheng Lydia froze, her interest instantly piqued, and looked up at him in surprise, Ho Gina had died in a car accident? How could that be?
She knew it was Ho Gina’s day to go to America and had given up on pursuing her responsibility, but she died in a car accident, which was too much of a coincidence!
“Got knocked out of the carriage by a big truck and died instantly.” Gu William added, sizing her up, “What? Not at all happy to hear the news?”
Happy? Cheng Lydia smiled ruefully. What was there to be happy about? What did it matter to her whether Ho Gina was dead or alive?”
Now that I think about it, that girl is still quite pitiful, she went through a lot of trouble to marry Shen Ron, but in the end, she didn’t even get a proper look from Shen Ron, so she passed away in such a hurry.
“I hope she’ll be a good girl in her next life.” She said with a small sigh.
Gu William reached out and touched the back of her head, smiling, “You’re always so kind.”
“I just hope good things come to good people.” Cheng Lydia folded her hands solidly and closed her eyes in a prayer to the heavens.
I hope the mother can get out safely and alive!
She opens her eyes to find that instead of bringing her luck, the gods have brought Chung Grace.
Cheng Lydia blinked her eyes for a moment, hardly believing her eyes, she actually saw Chung Grace in the hallway twenty meters away?This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Isn’t she abroad? I thought she couldn’t make it back? How come …?
At that moment Chung Grace was also looking at her and then at Gu William before finally turning on her heels and sprinting quickly in the direction of the elevator.
“Xiao Yi …” Cheng Lydia was busy catching up, and from Chung Grace’s angry gaze, she knew she had misunderstood again.
Chung Grace ran to the elevator room, saw that the elevator wasn’t coming, and took the stairs instead, as fast as her feet could carry her!
“Grace, don’t you go!” Cheng Lydia yanked her wrist and pulled her back, sizing her up and smiling, “You knew my mom was having surgery today, so you came back from France to be with me, didn’t you? I knew you wouldn’t be cruel enough to abandon me, I knew it …”
“Yeah, I came all the way back from France to be with you, but what about you?” Chung Grace shook her hand away, “How did you treat me? While claiming that you have no feelings for Master Gu and will not be with him, you are snuggling intimately with him while waiting for the surgery to be completed.”
“I really shouldn’t have come back, I should have stayed in France and given you guys space to continue to love each other.” Chung Grace dropped this almost through clenched teeth, turned and walked quickly down the stairs.
Cheng Lydia tried to continue the chase, but found herself helplessly unable to explain.
She was indeed with Gu William, and alone, and she could not explain the situation with ten mouths.
In the end, she just sent a text message to Chung Grace from her phone: sorry, but I’ll say it anyway, it’s not what you think between Gu William and me.
As usual, Chung Grace didn’t reply to her texts, not even a word.
Cheng Lydia stood frozen in the fire escape for a moment before turning and walking feebly towards the door to the operating room.
When she went back, Gu William was no longer in the chair, perhaps chasing Chung Grace.
She had guessed correctly that Gu William had indeed taken the elevator downstairs, only like her, he had no way of explaining himself in front of Chung Grace, nor did he know how.
Tell her that she just happened to come to the hospital and coincidentally ran into Cheng Lydia? Such an explanation is too far-fetched and meaningless.
Standing two meters away from him, Chung Grace looked at him with tears in her eyes, hoping that he would explain something, even if it was a lie. But Gu William never said anything, and only when she wanted to turn away did he suddenly say, “Lydia is too poor to be alone, and I want to stay with her.”
Just that short sentence, but it is full of endless feelings for Cheng Lydia.
Chung Grace turned on her heel in exasperation, preferring that he had no explanation.
Lydia is indeed pathetic, but what about her? Isn’t that pathetic?
Gu William watched her back leave and turned on his heel, heading in the direction of the elevator and back to Cheng Lydia.
“Where’s Yi?” Cheng Lydia asked, looking behind him in a moody manner.
Gu William’s behind was empty, and there was no Chung Grace.
“Gone.” Gu William sat back in his chair in frustration, looking glum.
It’s so exhausting to have to pretend to love someone.
“Does she hate me to death?” Cheng Lydia was a little worried.
Gu William raised his face to gaze at her, then shook his head, “No.”
In fact, he wants to tell her that even if Shen Ron doesn’t want her and Chung Grace hates her to death, she won’t be alone as long as he’s there.
Assistant Peng surreptitiously surveyed Shen Ron who was working seriously at his desk with his head bowed, and was puzzled by the fact that his mother-in-law’s life was hanging in the balance, but he still had the heart to work here?
But instead of voicing this doubt, he spoke with a straight face, “CEO Shen, the vehicle inspection center has sent over the test results.”
Shen Ron hmmed faintly, without following up.
At this point, the vehicle inspection no longer made any sense to him, as the truth had long since come out.
Assistant Peng didn’t understand what this ‘hmm’ from him meant, signaling him to continue? Or was it …
He chose to continue, “The vehicle’s brakes were fine, but traces of lubricant were found on the brake pads, so I guess someone had tampered with them.”
Shen Ron raised his eyebrows slightly, Ho Gina, this girl is really tough.
“I know.” Shen Ron gave a silent eviction order.
“CEO Shen, I have one more thing to tell you.” Assistant Peng hesitated slightly and said, “Miss Ho Gina just had a car accident on the airport highway and died instantly.”
Shen Ron’s eyebrows raised again and he looked up in surprise.
Assistant Peng added, “Just got word that it was hit by a big rig.”
“Are you sure? Died on the spot?” Shen Ron was a little incredulous.
“Sure.” Assistant Peng couldn’t help but sigh, “Ugh, what a shame to lose such a young human life like that!”
Shen Ron was indeed surprised, and felt an equal amount of sincerity and even so much sadness in his heart. After all, she was the one who grew up together, and even if she had done more wrong, he did not want to see the news of her death.
He must have cried his back out thinking about Zhang Jane.
“Does Shen Mansion know yet?” He asked.
“Already know.” Assistant Peng replied.
Shen Ron nodded, not much of an emotional swing on the surface, and then lowered his head again and said blandly, “I see.”
