Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 190

The past was the past, what about now?

Chen Zhibin had confirmed it with the doctor. Even if his mother managed to gain consciousness and wake up, she could not take care of herself. Ultimately, she would need personal assistance round-the-clock.

He could always hire various caregivers and maids with the money, but where could he look for someone who would genuinely care for his mother?

Listening to Chen Zhibin, Lu Xingzhi gradually stopped talking. He could not find any other reason to persuade Chen Zhibin. The situation in the Lu family was vastly different from the Chen family.

Both his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lu, were in good health and had each other as company. He also had a sister who could visit them periodically as she lived in a city not far from his parents. They were free from any financial worries as both his parents were in a good place in their respective careers. Not to forget, the Lu family was also free from troubles as they enjoyed a special status in the city.

Therefore, Lu Xingzhi could not empathize with Chen Zhibin. He could, however, understand Chen Zhibin's thinking.

After a long silence, Chen Zhibin sobbed. "I am sorry, Sergeant."

Jiang Yao stood aside silently observing. In Chen Zhibin's teary apology, she sensed his reluctance to part with his platoon and his regret toward his Sergeant.

Lu Xingzhi stayed silent. He patted Chen Zhibin on the shoulder and said, "Take good care of your mother. Whatever choice you make, you will always be a soldier under my command and I will always be your Sergeant."

A brief pause later, he turned his gaze toward Jiang Yao and said, "I am going back to the platoon tomorrow. Jiang Yao is studying in Nanjiang City. Write down both our cellphone numbers and give us a call anytime you are having any troubles."

From his remarks, Lu Xingzhi assured Chen Zhibin that even if he left the platoon, he would always be Lu Xingzhi's soldier. Whatever happened in the future, he would always have Lu Xingzhi's support.

Before Chen Zhibin could respond, Lu Xingzhi called for Chen Xuyao and they left the hospital.

She mused at that thought.

There was a saying that went, "A lady's revenge is never too late." She could always try the medicinal concoctions on Qi Xiang one formula at a time.

Pondering these notions gave Jiang Yao a sudden rush of excitement.

Lu Xingzhi examined her face thoroughly. He did not see any unhappiness on her face. Rather, there was a strange look of expectancy that he could not follow.

He broke into a faint smile as he caressed her hair. Suddenly, he blurted out. "You know, you do not have to wear heels anymore when you go out, you are just the perfect height for me."
