“My dad.”
“Hmm?”
“My father was hospitalized. If it wasn’t for his lawyer, I wouldn’t have known about this. He might… might not have much time left…”
As Li Ruochu spoke, tears began to roll down her cheeks and onto his hands.
Helian Qingyu was touched by her tears and his heart felt heavy. He took back his hand and handed her a handkerchief.
“Thank you!”
Li Ruochu took it and wiped her tears.
Helian Qingyu looked at her quietly. Even though he felt that what she said was a little ridiculous and made people think that she was making up an excuse, he still believed her for some reason.
“What are your plans?”
“I want to visit him at the hospital tomorrow. It was too rushed today. I didn’t prepare anything…”
“Mm.”
“If necessary, I might have to return to the Li family.”
“Mm.”
Helian Qingyu nodded and agreed.
Li Ruochu was surprised. He was so easy going today.
But Helian Qingyu had a condition. “You can go back, but you can’t bring Nuo Nuo with you. Nuo Nuo has to stay in the presidential mansion.”
Helian Qingyu was not going to let her take the child away until everything was clear. If she disappeared with the child, he would not know where to find them.
The best way was to keep Nuo Nuo by her side at all times. Then she wouldn’t have to worry about Li Ruochu going too far, unless she didn’t want Nuo Nuo anymore!
“I know. I never wanted him to expose his identity.”
Li Ruochu was not that stupid. The fewer people who knew about Nuo Nuo’s identity, the better. Only then could she ensure that he grew up safely.
As for the Li family, she could face it alone. She would not cause any trouble for Helian Qingyu.
…
The next day, Li Ruochu took care of the two of them. She packed up her things and went out. She had already done some thinking with Nuo Nuo. The little boy kept double checking. “Mommy, will you definitely come back right?”
“Mm, definitely!”
“You have to come back! Nuo Nuo will wait for you!” Nuo Nuo was afraid that she would be separated from her mother, but her mother had already said that she would come back, so he would wait for her obediently.
Helian Qingyu prepared a car for Li Ruochu and asked his assistant, Ah Wen, to accompany her.
Ah Wen was also a soldier, and knew all sorts of martial arts that could be used to protect Li Ruochu. Helian Qingyu was relieved.
On the way to the hospital, Li Ruochu asked Ah Wen to stop the car. She went to the shop by the street to buy something.
Actually, Ah Wen wanted to tell her that there was no need to buy anything. There was everything in the trunk of the car, but before he could say anything, Li Ruochu had already gotten out of the car and went to the flower shop by the street to buy flowers.
After arriving at the hospital, Li Ruochu went to the ward from yesterday and found the hospital bed was empty.
At that time, she fell into a daze. She thought of the worst possible outcome and was scared witless.
She grabbed the passing nurse and asked, “Excuse me… may I ask where the patient in this ward is?”
“Oh, he’s already been discharged.”
The nurse glanced at the ward number and told her.
When Li Ruochu heard that her father had been discharged from the hospital, her heart finally returned to normal. She had almost thought that her father passed on.
She calmed down and thought about it. Her father was discharged from the hospital? When she came to see him yesterday, he was seriously ill. How could he suddenly be discharged and come home?
Or could it be that because of her return yesterday, her father was in a good mood and his health had improved greatly, so he was discharged from the hospital?
