The light in Han Yuan’s eyes faded bit by bit as she looked at her son. She slowly closed her eyes. Seeing this, Lin Yu finally loosened the fingers tightly gripping Han Yuan’s arm and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Xi Cheng was confused. “What’s wrong with Mom? She seemed very anxious just now, as if she was in a hurry to say something, so why did she close her eyes and not say anything now?”
Lin Yu carefully tucked the blanket in and replied softly, “Maybe Mom had a nightmare. She started having mood swings these past few days. The doctor says it’s a good sign; she might miraculously regain her senses one day!”

Han Yuan’s breathing was steady, and the episode from before appeared to really be because she’d just had a nightmare in her unconscious state. Seeing that, Xi Cheng calmed down and sat down for a chat with Lin Yu. “Where did you go just now?”
Lin Yu soaked a towel in hot water and wrung it out before leaning over and using it to wipe Han Yuan’s face. “My aunt cto askfor money,” she casually answered. “I walked her to the main entrance and chatted with her for a while.”
Xi Cheng understood and quickly asked, “Why is she asking you for money again?”
Lin Yu rolled her eyes at him as she continued with what she was doing. “It’s because of Lin Zhu! My aunt thinks Lin Zhu got arrested because of me, so I owe her and the Lin family. I was no help to the Lin family, and instead, I
caused Lin Zhu to bear the blfor me.” Lin Yu sighed lightly and didn’t continue, just concentrating on the job at hand.
Xi Cheng’s mood darkened. Lin Zhu had run Fang Xi over and got charged with intentional homicide. Lin Yu had run around, trying to resolve Lin Zhu’s matter, but Ye Kun was adamant and wouldn’t budge, so Lin Zhu was sentenced in the end.
“Lin Yu, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault,” Xi Cheng said apologetically. He only had Fang Xi on his mind back then and ignored Lin Yu’s situation. ‘I should’ve known,’ he thought. ‘How could a leech like the Lin family let Lin Yu off? Shed truly suffered too much alone.’
Lin Yu didn’t stop what she was doing. After all, she’d heard too many apologies. Such things were superficial and had no real meaning. Xi Cheng thought of a solution. “I—I’ll get the lawyers to go out tomorrow and see if they can get Lin Zhu out earlier.”
Lin Yu straightened up and glanced at him before lightly saying, “There’s no need for that. Ye Kun will be mad if you get Lin Zhu out. You guys’ relationship finally eased up slightly in the Shi Corporation’s incident this time. Don’t stir up trouble again. The Lin family won’t letoff, even if you get Lin Zhu out. It is how it is; that’s life. I’ve accepted it.”
Her tears quietly fell and splashed on the back of her hand. Xi Cheng’s heart ached. He took Lin Yu’s hand and pulled her into his arms. “Lin Yu, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I didn’t care enough for you.”

Honestly, I’ve gotten used to having you by my side—gotten used to enjoying the sense of security you give me. I never worry about things at hwith you by my side because you always helphandle everything. You’re my strongest support, Lin Yu. I’ll definitely treat you well.”
Lin Yu didn’t say anything. She slowly reached out and wrapped her arms around Xi Cheng’s waist. After a long while, she sobbed, “Xi Cheng, let’s have a child. Will you givea child?”
Xi Cheng paused and then lifted Lin Yu’s chin and kissed her. Small suppressed moans fell from Lin Yu’s lips before she hurriedly said, “Not—not here!
Mom’s—-”
“Let’s go outside, ” he whispered, cutting her off. Xi Cheng quickly carried her and left his mother’s patient room.
The soundproofing of the hospital suite wasn’t good, and the amorous sounds next door traveled to Han Yuan’s room. In the darkness, Han Yuan’s eyes were wide open, and she gripped her covers tightly, dearly wishing that it was Lin Yu’s slender neck. She wanted to strangle that woman to death with her own hands.
Han Yuan hated herself for being so blind, and her son was even more blind for allowing that scourge to take root in their home. ‘ The heavens are cruel to destroy the Xi family with such a despicable method! she inwardly wailed.
Xi Cheng didn’t stay for the night. It wasn’t until mid-morning that Lin Yu slowly got up. She sat on the chair by the bed as she tidied her clothes.. Her calm voice carried a hint of seductive languor as she uttered, “Did you enjoy listening to us the entire night?”
