Yun Xi saw that there were so many people standing in the ward but Zhou Lin was nowhere to be seen. She pulled Lin Yu’s hand and asked anxiously, “Lin Yu, where’s Zhou Lin? Why isn’t he here?” After she finished speaking, she was filled with tears.
“Yun Xi, don’t worry. Zhou Lin went to the doctor’s office to ask about the Old Master’s condition. He should be back soon. Wait a little longer.” Lin Yu patiently consoled Yun Xi.
“What about uncle? How is he? Why did he faint?” Yun Xi looked worriedly at the Old Master on the bed.
“The doctor hasn’t told everyone the exact results yet. The test results will probably only be out tomorrow morning. There’s no other way but to wait.” Lin Yu started to sob.
“No, I have to find Zhou Lin and personally understand uncle’s condition.” After she finished speaking, she walked out of the ward despite Lin Yu’s attempts to stop her.
Before Yun Xi entered the doctor’s office, he heard the voices of two people.
“Doctor, what’s wrong with my dad? He’s always in good health!” Zhou Lin’s voice was also a little choked up, mixed with fatigue and fear.
“Mr. Zhou, although the results are not out yet, I advise you to be mentally prepared.” The doctor said to Zhou Lin.
Hearing this, Zhou Lin paused for a moment. Then, tears from the corner of his eyes soaked his face.
Zhou Lin was extremely restrained in his crying. He did not dare to cry out loud. He knew that in this situation, he definitely could not collapse. There were still a series of things waiting for him to deal with.
Outside the door, Yun Xi also started to cover her face and cry. Her heart ached so much for Zhou Lin. Just like Zhou Lin, she also could not bear to see the Old Master leave.
Ever since her grandfather had passed away, Old Master Zhou had treated her even better. He knew what this girl needed. He could always see through Yun Xi’s thoughts.
However, Yun Xi’s heart ached the most for Zhou Lin. How could she share his pain? If she could, she wanted to take on all of this for Zhou Lin. The stronger Zhou Lin pretended to be, the sadder Yun Xi was. However, she seemed to be helpless.
Yun Xi could not help but blame herself in her heart. She hated herself for not being able to help. She did not even have the courage to walk in now. She was afraid to see Zhou Lin in such a painful state, afraid that she would collapse.
Yun Xi slowly left the office and went to an empty corridor to cry loudly.
“Yun Xi, Yun Xi!” Suddenly, Lin Yu’s voice could be heard.
“Lin Yu? How did you know I was here?” Yun Xi looked up at Lin Yu and quickly wiped away her tears.
“You cried so loudly that the whole world heard you!” Lin Yu teased.
“You’re still in the mood to joke at a time like this?”
“Yun Xi, listen to me. Zhou Mo is still out of town and can’t return. You’re the only one who can empathize with Zhou Lin. If he sees you like this, he’ll only be in more pain. He’ll think that he didn’t protect this family well, and that’s why you’re in so much pain.”
As Yun Xi listened to Lin Yu’s words, her eyes gradually lit up and she no longer looked as dispirited as before.
“So, Yun Xi, you have to pull yourself together and let Zhou Lin know that things aren’t that bad. He still has you by his side!” Lin Yu continued.
“Thank you, Lin Yu. Thank you for reminding me. I know what to do,” Yun Xi replied.
“Then you should sort out your emotions first, and fix your hair and makeup. Look at how messy you are! I’ll wait for you in the ward first. You can come and see Zhou Lin after you’re done.” Lin Yu then left the building.
Yun Xi went to the bathroom and looked at her sorry state in the mirror. She was shocked. It was all thanks to Lin Yu’s reminder. Otherwise, if she went to see Zhou Lin in this state, it would only make Zhou Lin’s mood worse.
Yun Xi hurriedly took out a set of clothes from her space and put them on. She also took her makeup and started to tidy herself up in front of the mirror.
Not long after, Yun Xi looked at herself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction. There were no signs of her crying at all.
“Space, can you tell me about Old master Zhou’s illness? ”
“Yes, Master. The Old Master’s condition is indeed quite serious, and I can’t find the relevant treatment medicine at the moment. I’m sorry, Master, I can’t do anything this time,” the space said with regret.
Yun Xi could not believe his ears.
“Master, life and death are predestined. Let’s just get over it!” The Space continued.
