Tang Pengze did not react in time. The coldness in his eyes slowly dissipated and his hand tightened.

Lin Chaoyu only kissed his lips for a moment. When she left, Tang Pengze was still a little reluctant. He suppressed the joy in his heart and said, “Why? You’re not leaving me?”

He did not expect this woman to be willing to stay by his side after trying to leave no matter what.

The emptiness in her heart seemed to be filled up in an instant, and he could not help but smile.

Lin Chaoyu shook her head and reached out to grab his wrist. She smiled leisurely. “I’m not leaving you.”

Tang Pengze’s smile deepened as he held her hand. “Let’s go eat.”

Lin Chaoyu obediently followed behind him and stopped making a fuss.

She didn’t want to make any more trouble. Tang Pengze was too good to her. He did almost everything perfectly, and he even arranged every detail perfectly. He’d show up in time if she was in danger.

What reason did she have to leave?

She believed that her mother would understand.

…

The afternoon sun was warm and gentle. Tang Pengze left to handle some work at the company and didn’t imprison Lin Chaoyu anymore.

He also told Lin Chaoyu the hospital Lin Chaoyu’s mother was transferred to.

Lin Chaoyu hailed a cab and rushed straight to the hospital. She hadn’t visited her mother for the past two days and didn’t know how she was doing.

She felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

About half an hour later, they arrived at Lin Hongzhu’s hospital. Lin Chaoyu followed the hospital’s instructions and walked to her ward.

Li Hongzhu was lying on the hospital bed. Her gaze was outside the window and she seemed to be looking at something. Her face was pale and her lips were slightly pink.

She looked especially haggard. When Lin Chaoyu saw this, her eyes couldn’t help but tear up and her heart also ached.

“Mother, I’m here to see you.” She carried the fruit basket in her hand and strode to the bed. She placed the fruit basket on the table and sat by the bed before grabbing Li Hongzhu’s hand.

Li Hongzhu’s unfocused gaze suddenly landed on Lin Chaoyu’s face. Her eyes were filled with tears as she said, “Xiao Yu, you’re here.”

Lin Chaoyu knocked on her mother’s head and felt that something was wrong. She frowned slightly. “Mom, what’s wrong? Did they disturb you again?”

The “them” she was referring to was naturally Mr. Lin and the others.

Li Hongzhu shook her head slowly and sighed deeply. Her voice was a little weak. “They didn’t look for me. I don’t think they know which hospital I’m in now.”

As she spoke, she grabbed Lin Chaoyu’s hand tightly. She frowned and asked, “Have you not separated from him?”

Lin Chaoyu didn’t expect her to bring this up. A hint of panic flashed across her eyes, and she immediately replied, “We split up.”

Li Hongzhu instantly teared up. She glared at Lin Chaoyu and berated, “How could you lie? How could I not know?! I asked you to separate from him, but why won’t you listen?”

She sounded agitated and her chest heaved up and down continuously. She seemed to be unable to catch her breath and her face turned red.

Lin Chaoyu didn’t dare to refute her. She could only follow along and say, “Mom, I understand! I’m not with him. Calm down!”

Li Hongzhu was furious. “You’re ruining yourself for my illness. You might as well die!”

Her face was full of tears and her heart ached. She really didn’t want Lin Chaoyu to lower herself to become a surrogate for her.

Lin Chaoyu was stunned when she heard this.

Was her mother referring to her as being better off dead…
