Lu Han glanced at Yan Heqing with unease, hesitated for a moment, and then left.
Director Yang, having only spoken halfway through her sentence, scratched her temple and walked towards Lu Lin. " Mr. Lu, Mr. Mr. Lu will wake up around eight o'clock tomorrow morning." She was somewhat familiar with the Lu Family, so she spoke more bluntly. "High-level paraplegia is not only a long-term battle for the patient, but also for the family. Patients often have suicidal thoughts in the early stages. When Mr. Lu wakes up tomorrow, he will definitely be unable to accept it. You need to be prepared."
Director Yang has left.
Lu Lin didn't speak to Yan Heqing immediately. He first had the nurse push Lu Muchi to the ward before taking Yan Heqing's hand. "It's too stuffy, let's go downstairs for a walk."
Unexpectedly, Yan Heqing shook his head, took Lu Lin's hand tightly, and walked towards the elevator, saying, "Let's check your back first."
Chapter 128
The car's roof light shone white, and when Lu Lin's shirt was removed, the bluish-purple mark was particularly noticeable.
Yan Heqing squeezed his hands before applying the herbal ointment with a cotton swab.
Lu Lin couldn't see the injury, but he could feel the pain, and he estimated that the mark would be obvious. He was facing away from Yan Heqing, so he couldn't see his expression. He glanced at the rearview mirror in front of him out of the corner of his eye.
In the mirror, the young man's head was slightly lowered, and his expression was still unclear.
Yan Heqing suddenly looked up, "Does your bone hurt?"
Lu Lin didn't reply. He slightly raised his arms and put on his shirt, but didn't button it up. He then turned around and hugged Yan Heqing tightly.
"You and Lu Lin are related by blood, and you both believe that his Lu is different from you."
Yan Heqing's words had just occupied his mind.
He didn't tell anyone about his conflict with Lu Changcheng. Lu Changcheng might have told Lu Han, or maybe Lu Muchi. Of the three of them, only Lu Muchi might have mentioned it to Yan Heqing.
However, this did not convince him.
Two weeks ago, Lu Muchi didn't even know that he knew Yan Heqing. Assuming their conversation would involve him, the possibility of them discussing this matter was extremely slim.
But if Lu Muchi didn't tell him, how did Yan Heqing find out?
Lu Lin had a strong feeling that Yan Heqing's past experiences were even worse than he currently knew, otherwise his retaliation against his creditors would not have been so extreme.
That was Yan Heqing's biggest secret.
Lu Lin tightened his grip on Yan Heqing, so much so that Yan Heqing's bones ached from the pressure. Yan Heqing assumed Lu Lin was in pain in his back and tried to get out of the car. "Is it very painful? Let's get a shot—"
Lu Lin picked him up again, nestled his chin in his neck, closed his eyes, and said, "It's just a minor injury, it'll be fine after a while."
Yan Heqing sensed Lu Lin 'Lu Lin distress and hugged him back.
He simply thought it was for Lu Muchi and Lu Changcheng.
Just like the moment he awakened, knowing that Lin Fengzhi his eyes to love and stay with Lu Muchi, just like when he learned that the fire in his house was caused by Lin Fengzhi.
He felt the same way.
Lu Lin's emotions were much more stable than his, and he still firmly chose him.
Through the tinted car window, Yan Heqing gazed at the distant lights, having once decided to bury his awakening consciousness forever deep within his heart.
He doesn't need anyone's sympathy, nor does he want to be seen as an oddity.
Tell others that this is a world from a book, and that in order to survive, he takes the initiative to resist those who will harm him in the future.
How absurd.
Even he himself couldn't be sure if he would have believed it if he hadn't experienced it.
He has now changed his mind.
Lu Lin will believe it.
Lu Lin would believe every word he said unconditionally, no matter how absurd.
Yan Heqing made his decision. He released Lu Lin. " Lu Lin— "
The sound was interrupted by the vibration.
Lu Lin received a phone call.
Lu Lin took out his phone. Lu Han was calling. Lu Lin touched Yan Heqing's hair and swiped to answer.
Lu Han said urgently, " A-Lin, Yan He... Shengbing's wife and children have been found." He was completely distraught. "It really was the Cheng Family who sent them away! They intercepted them at the highway entrance, what do we do now?"
Lu Lin said calmly, "Bring him to the hospital."
"Okay, I'll inform them now." Lu Han was about to hang up but stopped. " Xiao Chi is in the ward, right? Or... why don't you come down? He's on the 7th floor. Dad's still in the emergency room, I'm worried."
Lu Lin hung up the phone, buttoning his shirt. "You rest in the car first, I'll go upstairs and check on things."
Yan Heqing was neither tired nor sleepy.
He knew very well that Lu Lin brought him to the hospital because he wanted to understand the situation. The reason he wasn't allowed to go upstairs now was because he had already understood the situation and didn't want him to face the Lu Family again, even though there was only Lu Han left.
Yan Heqing didn't want to put Lu Lin in a difficult position. He nodded, "Call me if you need anything."
Lu Lin returned to the hospital. On the 7th floor, Lu Han was pacing back and forth. Seeing Lu Lin, he reacted as if he'd seen a savior. " Xiao Chi..." his eyes welled with tears; he'd already learned of the situation from the housekeeper. "Will you really be paralyzed from now on?"
Lu Lin nodded. Lu Han initially refused to believe it, then turned his head away, covered his face, and began to cry softly.
Lu Lin waited until he finished crying before saying, "Don't tell Mom."
Now that Lu Han knows the Cheng Family is involved in the car accident, his hatred for Yan Heqing has lessened somewhat, but he is still dissatisfied. Lu Lin only cares about Lu Ruchan; his own father is in the emergency room, and his nephew is paralyzed from the waist down, but he doesn't care at all. But now he is relying entirely on Lu Lin and is unwilling to agree.
A moment later, the emergency room door opened. Lu Han's heart was in his throat; he didn't dare go up. " A-Lin, go ask..."
Lu Lin stepped forward and spoke a few words with the doctor. Then the nurse wheeled Lu Changcheng out. Lu Changcheng was still unconscious, but it seemed that he had been resuscitated. Lu Han then stepped forward, grabbed Lu Changcheng's hand tightly, and followed him to the ward.
Zhao Huilin and Yan Feng were taken to the hospital, and Lu Changcheng also woke up at that time.
Lu Changcheng struggled to get up, "Quickly, call them in!"
Lu Han quickly helped him up, "Dad, don't get agitated." He then turned to the butler and instructed, "Bring them in quickly!"
The housekeeper went out for a while and then came back in with Zhao Huilin and Yan Feng.
Yan Feng's pants were soaked through and emitted a disgusting, fishy stench. The butler closed the door and stood a little further away.
