Stealing Your Heart Chapter 412

Aunt Yu paused to think for a while before replying, “Around 6 I think. “

Lin Xinyan wasn’t keeping track of time for the whole day. She only remembered Zong Jinghao calling to tell her to get to the hospital at 5 a.m. Then, she spent around 30 minutes packing her belongings. Before she left home, Zong Jinghao also called her again to inform her about some matters.

Lin Xinyan looked out of the windows. She figured that things were getting too tough to settle, as Zong Jinghao had not shown up the entire day. Also, she knew it was impossible for her to help him in any way given her current situation.

In truth, she was kind of worried. Everything was uncertain at the moment.

“What’s on your mind? Why do you look unhappy?” Aunt Yu was concerned about Lin Xinyan’s emotional well-being. She added, “It’s not good for you to be in low spirits now that you are pregnant.”

Lin Xinyan was also aware of that fact. She also knew that her worries were not going to get her anywhere. The only thing she could do at the moment to not add to Zong Jinghao’s burdens was to take good care of herself.

Lin Xinyan closed her eyes. “Aunt Yu, could you please turn the lights off? I want to take a short nap.”

The lights were too glaring. It made it hard for her to calm her thoughts down.

Aunt Yu nodded and went to where the switches were located. Very soon, the lights in the room were dimmed to a low level.

Aunt Yu sat on the chair next to the bed. “You sleep on. Just call me if you need anything. I’ll be here with you.”

“Aunt Yu, I am fine by myself. You should get some rest too.”

The whole level had been booked just for Lin Xinyan. Thus, there were many rooms Aunt Yu could rest in if she wanted to.

However, Aunt Yu did not feel safe leaving Lin Xinyan alone in her room. “It’s fine. You just take me off your mind and rest well. I’ll nap on the couch if I’m too sleepy.”

Lin Xinyan knew Aunt Yu only meant well and stopped asking her to leave her side. With that in mind, Lin Xinyan slowly closed her eyes as she sank her body further into the bed.

Lin Xinyan was not feeling sleepy as she had slept in the afternoon. Still, after laying in the bed for a long time, she still fell asleep unknowingly.

By the time Zong Jinghao came, it was already close to midnight. He switched off the lights near the door to illuminate the pitch dark room. As Aunt Yu was only in light sleep, she was stirred awake by the sudden movement.

She got to her feet right away. “You’re back.”

Zong Jinghao murmured a simple reply. He walked straight to the bed where Lin Xinyan was still deep in slumber.

He unbuttoned the first button on his shirt, and immediately he could breathe better. His eyes were still fixated on Lin Xinyan as he asked Aunt Yu, “Was she feeling okay just now?”

“She vomited a lot and didn’t eat much in the afternoon. The doctor prescribed her a nutrient injection and gave me some recipes custom made for her. At dinner, she was able to eat something, and she didn’t vomit too.”

Zong Jinghao nodded. He extended one hand to caress her smooth and petite face lightly. Perhaps because Zong Jinghao’s touch had itched Lin Xinyan, her brows twitched slightly out of the blue. She slowly opened her eyes. In her blurry vision, she could recognize the man standing next to her and immediately sat upright. Zong Jinghao held on to her arms and propped a pillow behind her back to support her body. He then asked gently, “Did I wake you up?”

Lin Xinyan shook her head. “I’m just a bit thirsty.”

Zong Jinghao grabbed her by the shoulders and put her into a more comfortable position against the headboard before replying, “Okay. I’ll get you some water.”

As Zong Jinghao walked to the night table, he noticed the vivid roses. He glanced at it as he poured some water into a glass. As he passed the glass of water to Lin Xinyan, he asked, “Who bought you those flowers?”

Zong Jinghao had nothing on his mind. Other than himself, Li Zhan was the person who visited Lin Xinyan that day.

But why did that guy bring her roses?

Lin Xinyan could feel the water froze in her throat. But before she could say anything, Aunt Yu replied, “Some guy on a wheelchair brought her those flowers. It was quite thoughtful of him to do so.”

Aunt Yu did not know Bai Yinning and Lim Xinyan shared a past. Thus, she only replied to Zong Jinghao truthfully.

Lin Xinyan raised the glass of water to her lips as she stared at Zong Jinghao, waiting for his response.

Zong Jinghao lowered his gaze to Lin Xinyan and asked plainly, “So he came just now?”

Lin Xinyan answered truthfully as she knew she wouldn’t be able to hide the truth from Zong Jinghao anyway. “Yeah.”

Zong Jinghao always had his guards up against Bai Yinning. Thus, Lin Xinyan knew he would definitely be upset and that he wanted an explanation. Nonetheless, Lin Xinyan did not know how to answer Zong Jinghao as it was a fact that Bai Yinning was deeply involved in her life back then.

Lin Xinyan tightened her fingers around the glass.

“Are you still drinking?” Zong Jinghao’s eyes drifted to the glass in Lin Xinyan’s hand.

Lin Xinyan shook her head. “I am done.”
