Marriage First, True Love Later Novel - Chapter 217
217 Meeting at the hospital
In the morning, she woke up in Zhou Han’s arms. For a moment, Lin Li felt that she and Zhou han seemed to really be lovers who had been in love for a long time. So much so that when she woke up, she didn’t feel uncomfortable at all to find herself lying naked in his arms.
She opened her eyes and lay in Zhou Han’s arms for a while. In order to avoid the awkwardness of their eyes meeting when Zhou han woke up later, Lin Li rolled over and prepared to get up.
She gently moved his hand away from her waist. Just as she lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed, his large palm wrapped around her waist again. With a little force, he pulled her directly into his arms. Her back was against his chest, and she could even feel his steady and strong heartbeat.
“Uh, I’m going to get up.” Lin Li said softly without turning her head.
After waiting for a while, there was no response from behind. There was only a faint and calm breathing.
His calm and uneventful breathing made Lin Li suspect that he hadn’t woken up at all. Perhaps he had just subconsciously reached out to hold her in his arms in his sleep.
As she thought about this, she reached out and placed her hand on his large palm again. Just as she was about to pull it away, she suddenly felt the force on her waist increase. Then, Zhou Han’s large palm under the blanket grabbed her hand directly. A slightly low and sleepy voice came from above her head. She heard him say, ” “It’s the weekend Today. Sleep with me for a while.”
When she heard this, she remembered that he came back in the middle of the night two days ago and woke up early the morning before. He should be tired.
With this thought in mind, Lin Li no longer resisted and said anything. She just quietly let him hold her as she lay there quietly.
Lying on the bed, Lin Li’s eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Finally, she slowly fell asleep again.
When Lin Li woke up again, Zhou han, who was beside her, was already gone. The other half of the bed was also cold without any temperature. She reached out and rubbed her eyes, then grabbed the electronic alarm clock on the bedside table. The time displayed was 12:35 in the afternoon. She didn’t expect that she would sleep for more than four hours.
She rubbed her neck and got up. She took her clothes from the cloakroom and went straight to the bathroom. After changing her clothes and washing up, she went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to get something to fill her stomach.
After having her breakfast, Lin Li looked at the computer in the study room with nothing to do. She suddenly remembered that her plan to visit mother Gu last night had been interrupted by Zhou Han’s sudden date. She turned off the computer in the bathroom and took a windbreaker from the closet and her bag. She went out and took a taxi to the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, Anran happened to be there. She was chatting with mother Gu with her big belly. Although Anran was still in her early stages of pregnancy, her belly was already very big because she was pregnant with twins. She was four months pregnant, which was like a normal pregnant woman who was six or seven months pregnant.
Mother Gu’s vision was already very blurry. Even if she stood in front of her, she could only see a blurry image and not her face.
Looking at mother Gu like this and thinking of her care and concern for her in the past, Lin Li couldn’t help but feel a little distressed for her.
Anran said that mother Gu’s eyes would recover as long as the tumor was removed through surgery, but everyone had to consider the risks of an open skull surgery.
After chatting with mother Gu for a while, mother Gu was a little tired, so Lin Li helped her lie down. In order to avoid disturbing mother Gu’s rest, she and Anran left the ward and sat on the bench in the corridor outside the ward to chat.
Looking at the closed door behind her, Lin Li took Anran’s hand and asked worriedly, ” what did the doctor say? do we really have to go for the surgery? ” Let’s not talk about the success rate of the operation. Even if the operation was 100% successful, the old man who had his head opened would have suffered a lot!
“If we don’t open her head, mom’s vision will be completely blinded. If the tumor moves away again, it will directly threaten her life.” Anran said. She had been worried about her mother recently, so her face was full of fatigue and haggardness.
Lin Li sighed silently in her heart. She pulled her hand over and placed it on her lap. She could only comfort her and say, ” “Don’t worry. Mother Gu is such a good person. She’ll definitely be fine.” They weren’t doctors, and they didn’t have the power to help mother Lin recover. They could only pray.
Anran nodded. Seeing that Lin Li’s expression was a little depressed, she said in a sobbing voice, ” I know, but Lin Li, I still can’t help but worry. What do you think we should do if something really happened to mom? ”
“Bah.” Lin Li smacked her lips, looked at Anran, and said seriously, ” “There’s no” what if.”It’ll definitely be fine. Don’t scare yourself.” He reached out and caressed her face. an Zi, even if you don’t think for yourself, you should think for my two godsons in your stomach. Didn’t those television and newspapers say that pregnant women should not scold when their emotions fluctuate? your happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy are all related to the two godsons in your stomach. If you keep a sad face all day and make my two godsons look like Zhou han in the future, I will be very angry with you.
Hearing this, Anran couldn’t help but chuckle. She rolled her eyes at her and said, ” nonsense. If it’s a son, he’ll definitely look like our Yicheng.
yes, yes, yes, just like your Yicheng~” Lin Li deliberately teased her, deliberately dragging out the word ‘Yicheng’. Her smile was a little ambiguous, and she bumped her shoulder and said, ” when the time comes, you’ll have a son like your su Yicheng. It’ll be best if he’s a little fox, who can go around deceiving other little girls. Look at su Yicheng. In such a short time, not only did he win over Anran’s heart, but he also won over her heart, which had been frozen for six years. Now that Anran was here, how could she allow anyone to say anything bad about her husband? Such a brilliant method could make people lose their mind and body unconsciously. What was wrong with such a person calling him a cunning Fox?
Anran glanced at her and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, ” did Yicheng offend you in any way? why do I feel that you don’t like him that much? ”
Lin Li turned around and leaned against the wall, saying lazily, ” “It doesn’t matter if he offends me or not. I won’t let him off if he makes you sad.” She didn’t care who he was, whether he was a government official or a farmer. She only cared about whether he could give Anran happiness. Nothing else was important.
Looking at Lin Li, Anran’s lips curved up. She felt an indescribable feeling of warmth in her heart. She had so many words to say, but she could only use one sentence to express it. Lin Li, thank you. She didn’t have many friends, but having someone like Lin Li was enough. She had no more regrets.
Lin Li’s eyes swept over her, and she said in a bad mood, ” “Pretentious.”
The two of them sat on the bench in the corridor, leaning against the snow-white wall. Even if they didn’t speak, they wouldn’t feel awkward.
However, Anran suddenly thought of something. She turned her head and looked at Lin Li, asking, ” “Lin Li, how are you and Zhou han doing?” She seemed to have heard her mention Zhou han just now, so naturally.
Lin Li was stunned and felt a little embarrassed. Her big black eyes rolled around, and in the end, she chose to hide it. She only said, ” “No, nothing. It’s just like that. What else can I do?” She didn’t know if there would be any results between her and Zhou han. Although everything seemed to be going well now, who knew what would happen in the future? instead of letting Anran worry and be sad for her, it was better to choose not to tell her from the beginning.
Anran looked at her, and her eyes seemed to have noticed something on her face. She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked tentatively, ” “Lin Li, you’re not hiding anything from me, right?”
Lin Li felt a little guilty, so she opened her eyes and deliberately avoided her gaze. She only smiled and said, ” I can hide it from anyone but you. It’s really fine. We can live in peace without any Wars.
“I don’t think so.” Anran was still suspicious. When she said Zhou han just now, it was too natural. There was no deliberate feeling at all. If she didn’t really care about a person, could she say it so naturally?
what did you see? can you even read someone’s face? ” Lin Li laughed and said, ” don’t overthink it. Zhou han and I are pretty good like this. It’s funny to say that we thought that we had similar experiences, but we actually developed the same tacit understanding in life. You say it’s fun, right? ”
Anran looked at her and didn’t say anything, as if to confirm the credibility of her words.
Seeing that she didn’t believe her, Lin Li sighed and asked, ” an Zi, do you think that with Zhou han and I in such a situation, we would really have any expectations for love? ”
Upon hearing this, Anran looked at her and began to feel uncertain again. Yes, she and Zhou han had the same experience. Both of them had loved someone who didn’t love them for more than ten years. It wasn’t easy to separate from a positive and profound relationship.
It wasn’t impossible, but it would probably take more time.
Lin Li, I don’t want to say anything else. Just like how you wish for me to be happy, I also wish for you to be happy. I don’t know who can give you happiness, but that person is definitely not Chengxiang, so don’t close your heart and let yourself miss the past. Try to let others enter your heart, just like me. Looking at her, an ran said this very sincerely.
Lin Li looked at her and had the urge to tell Anran that she was already trying, but in the end, she didn’t say it. In the end, she still wasn’t confident enough. Not only was she not sure if Zhou han could fall in love with her, but she couldn’t even guarantee if she could really fall in love with Zhou han.
Holding Anran’s hand, Lin Li only smiled and nodded. I know.
Anran didn’t say anything more about the entire topic. The two of them sat in the corridor for a while. When it was almost evening, Lin Li finally got up and was ready to leave.
However, when she walked downstairs and was about to leave the hospital, she passed by the flower bed. The person sitting on the stone chair on the path caught her attention. She saw that he had his hands on his thighs and his head buried in his palms.
Lin Li stepped forward and stood in front of him. She called out softly with uncertainty, ” “Zhou han?”
