Stealing Your Heart Chapter 8
Lin Xinyan raised her head slowly and saw the man’s face clearly. She exclaimed in surprise, “Doctor He.”
Seeing group of people standing behind him, Lin Xinyan was even more surprised, “Why are you here?”
Her younger brother had autism and He Ruize was his doctor. Lin Xinyan and he got to know each other during her brother’s consultation visits.
He Ruize smiled gently and before he could open his mouth, the director of the hospital spoke, “Doctor He is here to deliver a speech.”
He Ruize was a well-known psychiatrist and he was exceptionally knowledgeable in autism.
“How about you? Why are you here? Are you feeling unwell?” He Ruize asked.
Lin Xinyan thought of her mother’s resolute attitude and trembled.
“Yan!” Zhuang Zijin ran from the other side of the corridor hurriedly while holding the examination checklist in her hand. She was startled when she heard from the nurse that Lin Xinyan had ran away. Now that she saw her, she let out an emotional shout.
Lin Xinyan pursed her lips and she felt like crying, “Mom-”
He Ruize said to the director of the hospital who was standing beside him, “Please go back first as I have other matters to attend to.”
“Dr. He, we won’t bother you since you have other matters to attend to. That said, I sincerely invite you to work in our hospital. If you have any requirements, please feel free to let me know and I’ll do my best to satisfy your requirements.”
He Ruize replied gently, “I’ll consider.”
“Auntie, let’s go outside and talk about it. It’s not appropriate to discuss it here.” The hospital was full of people and it was not a suitable place for them to have a discussion.
Zhuang Zijin also knew He Ruize. There were times when she could not afford to pay for her son’s medical fees and Dr. He often helped her to pay the outstanding amount.
As such, she respected He Ruize very much.
She held Lin Xinyan’s wrist tightly for fear that she would run away again.
Just as they stepped out of the hospital, Lin Xinyan knelt in front of Zhuang Zijin, “Mom, please, Xinqi was gone already. Please let me keep him.”
He Ruize frowned as he wondered what she meant. Then he arrived at a realization very quickly and his eyes were fixated on her abdomen.
Seeing the examination checklist in Zhuang Zijin’s hand, it became almost clear to him that she was pregnant.
Shocking and unbelievable!
He wanted to know what happened, but that was not the right time to ask.
Lin Xinyan rarely cried in front of Zhuang Zijin. Even when her younger brother died, she cried secretly, and she never shed tears in front of Zhuang Zijin.
Zhuang Zijin did not mean to force her, but would she still have a future if she gave birth to this child?
Nonetheless, being a mother would make someone stronger. Judging from Lin Xinyan’s reaction, it was going to be very difficult to make her give up. Zhuang Zijin sighed, “Let’s do what you want.”
After speaking, she turned around and left. She felt miserable and did not know how to face her daughter.
Lin Xinyan squatted down slowly. She was pushing herself to be strong, but she could not hold back her tears. She did not want to cry, but she could not help it. The burden of grief and pain in her heart engulfed her.
Before returning to China, he went to look for them and found out that they had returned to China, and her brother died in a car accident.
He did not know what happened during this period.
He Ruize squatted down and looked at her. She was just a teenager when he first met her, but she was already very sensible and took care of her younger brother and mother.
Once, he saw that she only had enough money to buy two meals. Then she gave the meals to her mother and younger brother. Although she did not eat anything, she told Zhuang Zijin that she had already eaten.
She was so sensible that it made him feel sorry for her.
He Ruize stretched out his hand to touch her head and comfort her, but before his hand fell on her, Lin Xinyan suddenly raised her head and looked at him, “Thank you for your help in the past. When I have money in the future, I’ll definitely return it to you.”
He Ruize’s hand paused above her hair. He slowly grasped and retracted his palm, and said with a smile, “Fool, I helped you all willingly so there is no need to return the money to me.”
Lin Xinyan shook her head, “You are kind, but I remember your help.”
When I have the ability in future, I will certainly repay you.
He Ruize helped her up, “Where do you live? I’ll take you home.”
Lin Xinyan was worried about Zhuang Zijin at that time, so she nodded and gave him her address.
When they arrived at the destination, Lin Xinyan pushed the door open to get off the car. He Ruize asked her, “Will you go back there in the future?”
Lin Xinyan turned around to look at him. She shook her head, “I won’t go back.”
