Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

Chapter 171



All the way back from the hospital, Cheng Lydia’s heart felt like a knife was twisting.

Back at the beach house, Lim Toby had woken up from her lunch break, and she took a deep breath, a slight curve to her lips as she stepped up.

“Lim Toby, you’ve been awake long?” She walked over to sit beside him.

“Not for long.” Lim Toby smiled slightly, sizing her up, “How’s Shen Ron?”

Cheng Lydia didn’t expect Lim Toby to ask about that, and the smile on her lips faded as she shook her head.

“Don’t worry, it’s going to be okay.” Lim Toby reassured her as he always did, and he didn’t know what else he could say other than that, and those were the same words Cheng Lydia used to comfort Shen Ron and the old lady.

In fact, anyone who knows this is nonsense knows it, but anyone who likes to say it.

“By the way, tomorrow is the day of the checkup at the hospital, remember to remind me then.” Cheng Lydia said changing the subject.

“Okay, I’ll remember that.”

The next day, Cheng Lydia accompanied Lim Toby to the hospital early for a checkup.

While paying her bill on the first floor, Cheng Lydia suddenly heard a sound of an emergency vehicle followed by a cacophony of people at the entrance to the emergency room.

Cheng Lydia turned her head to see paramedics carrying a young boy out of an emergency vehicle and rushing inside the emergency room in a hurry.

In a flash, she saw clearly that the little boy lying on the portable bed was the same Shen Kerwin she had met a few times.

She pulled her nanny aunt, who was following the paramedics inside, and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?”

When Auntie saw that it was Cheng Lydia, she was stunned for a moment and said, “Doctor Cheng, why are you in this hospital?”

“I’m here with my family for a visit, what’s wrong with little Kerwin him?” She trailed off.

“The young master he was going up the stairs when he suddenly fainted and fell down the stairs.”

“How did this happen, is it serious?”

“The doctor said the fall wasn’t serious, but the heart attack came back more seriously.” Auntie looked at the hospital entrance for a moment, “I’ve already called the old lady, why hasn’t she arrived yet?”

At that moment a paramedic called from inside, “Shen Kerwin’s family come and sign!”

Auntie was in a hurry and said, “What should we do? The old lady hasn’t come yet, and the old lady is now the only relative of the young master.”

Cheng Lydia walked in and said to the paramedics, “I’m Shen Kerwin’s family, how is he, please?”

“Cardiac arrest, in emergency.” The paramedic sized her up, “You’re a relative of his?”

“Yes, I’m his sister-in-law.”

“No other immediate family members?”

“Not yet.”

“Okay, then you sign this sick note.”

Cheng Lydia froze, shakily reaching for the medical notice handed to her by the paramedics.

Critically ill …

“Hurry up and sign it.” The paramedic urged.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Sorry, I can’t sign this one.” Cheng Lydia retracted her hand.

Soon the old lady and Zhang Jane arrived, and the old lady took a look at the sickness notice and signed her name on it.

Shen Kerwin was being resuscitated inside the emergency room, and Cheng Lydia helped the old lady sit down on a chair next to her. Although the old lady appeared calm, Cheng Lydia could feel that her body was trembling slightly.

Half an hour later, the paramedics came out from inside the emergency room.

Cheng Lydia rushed up and asked, “Doctor, how is the baby?”

The doctor bowed his head apologetically, “I’m sorry, we did all we could.”

Cheng Lydia sucked in her breath. What does that mean? The baby was just gone?

She twisted her head abruptly and looked at the old woman.

The old woman was silent for a moment, and quietly got up from her chair and walked into the emergency room with the help of Zhang Jane.

On the first aid table, Shen Kerwin’s tiny body lay on top, his pale little face quiet and peaceful.

Including this time, Cheng Lydia had seen him three times, each time either in emergency or hospital, and in her opinion, the boy was too poor.

The old lady gently held his hand, tears dripping onto his hand, choking back tears, and said, “Son, it’s not that Grandma doesn’t love and care for you, Grandma is afraid of seeing you have an attack, Grandma is afraid of watching you leave this world like today, you are still so young, how can you go?”

She wiped a handful of tears from her face and smiled bitterly, “It’s good to go, there’s not so much sickness in heaven, remember to find a good family in your next life, be born healthy and grow up happily.”

Shen Kerwin was removed to the morgue.

Cheng Lydia helped the old lady to sit down in a chair in the corridor, the old lady had regained her composure, she took a light breath and said softly, “Shen Kerwin’s mother Ms. Tong was born to Ron’s father and an outside woman, and was tested for congenital heart disease from the moment he was born. Ron had already committed suicide because of his father’s marriage to Liu Cora, and he hated his father with a passion. I was worried that he would be irritated again, so I never told him about Ms. Tong and Shen Kerwin’s existence. At that time, I was thinking that the child wouldn’t live long anyway and the family didn’t want to see them so much as mother and son, so I just let him live outside with Ms. Tong.”

“Then Ms. Tong was framed by Belle her mother and died in an accident, and Ron’s father died of a heart attack before I dared to let him know of Kerwin’s existence. He didn’t say anything or care at the time and Kerwin was raised by a nanny. Ron and Kerwin actually had the same disease, only Kerwin was checked out from birth and was more severe than Ron. Now that Kerwin is dead, it’s only a matter of time before Ron leaves this world like he did.”

Cheng Lydia listened quietly, not saying anything, and not knowing what to say.

She had never understood why The Shen Family people had kept Shen Kerwin out alone, and it turned out to be because of that.

Is Shen Ron really going to leave as suddenly as his brother did? She was really worried.

After taking Lim Toby home and serving him to lie down, Cheng Lydia couldn’t contain herself and headed for Yarn Hospital.

Watching her crumbling away through the floor-to-ceiling window, Lim Toby smiled bitterly. He knew she couldn’t let go of Shen Ron, and he knew she loved him deeply, he could see it all these days.

“Young master, what would you like to eat for lunch today?” Auntie asked as she stood behind him.

“Whatever.” Lim Toby replied indifferently.

It doesn’t matter what you eat, since you’re eating alone anyway.

“Young master, are you not feeling well?” Auntie looked at his weak face and asked with concern, “Shall I call Ms Cheng to come back?”

Lim Toby shook his head, “No, I’ll just get some sleep, go ahead and get busy.”

He closed his eyes gently as his aunt hesitated for a moment and turned to walk out.

Ever since seeing Shen Kerwin die, Cheng Lydia’s heart has not been able to calm down, and when she closes her eyes, it’s as if she sees the person lying quietly on the emergency table unable to revive is Shen Ron.

The feeling is so abrasive and overwhelming.

Her disenchantment with him, since it was so deep!

When she rushed into Shen Ron’s hospital room, Shen Ron was sitting on his hospital bed watching TV, and there was obvious surprise and astonishment on his face when he saw her enter.

“Ron,” Cheng Lydia rushed up and stared at him, swallowing hard for a moment since she didn’t know what to say.

“Lydia, what brings you here?” Shen Ron scowled at her, “What’s going on? Wasn’t it Lim Toby he …”

“No.” Cheng Lydia shook her head and leaned in to hug him, choking on a sob in his ear, “Little Kerwin’s gone.”

“I know.” Shen Ron hugged her, stroking her hair with a weak, light smile, “Are you afraid I’ll just go away like he did all of a sudden?”

Cheng Lydia nodded, tears dripping down the nape of his neck.

“Look who told me to be optimistic and strong in the first place, and now I’m becoming pessimistic myself.” Shen Ron chuckled.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself.” Cheng Lydia closed her eyes, she didn’t want to be like this, Shen Kerwin’s leaving had touched her too much, she just couldn’t force herself to be strong.

“I’m content to see you cry for me, and it doesn’t matter if it’s a few days late or a few days early.”

“Don’t say it again.” Cheng Lydia choked out.

“No more talk then.” Shen Ron took her out of his arms and surveyed her, “Since you’re here, walk outside with me, will you? I’ve been bored in bed all day.”

“Good.” Cheng Lydia nodded, wiped the tear stains from her face with her hand, and pushed a wheelchair from inside the corner.

Shen Ron, however, shook his head no: “I don’t want a wheelchair.”

“Why?”

“It’s not that bad.” Shen Ron smiled, “And a big man’s feels uncomfortable in a wheelchair.”

“But you’re prone to falling now because of weakness in your limbs.”

“It’s okay with you.” Shen Ron waved at her, and Cheng Lydia walked over to her as she did.

She assisted Shen Ron and walked slowly.

Although Shen Ron had tried to act as normal as possible, Cheng Lydia could still feel that his body was so weak that he was about to run out of relevant strength.

“Shall we sit down in the garden?” Cheng Lydia asked him.

Shen Ron nodded and walked with her to a nearby chair.

“Do you want some water?” Cheng Lydia asked.

“No need.” Shen Ron shook his head and scowled at her for a long time before saying in a serious manner, “Lydia, you don’t have to worry, don’t forget, this hospital is owned by us Shen, no one would dare to neglect me. You don’t need to come over to see me in particular, stay by Lim Toby’s side and take care of him.”

He paused and added, “Like I said, I’ll respect whatever decision you make, and since you’ve chosen Lim Toby, stay with him and don’t bother visiting me anymore.”

Cheng Lydia nodded and smiled, “Good, I won’t be back later, take care of yourself.”

She also felt she couldn’t do this anymore, couldn’t run between two men anymore.

“Well, I will.” Shen Ron grabbed her palm, “Can you grant me a request?”

“Go ahead.”

Shen Ron lifted his palm and gently brushed his fingertips over her lips, softly saying, “Let me kiss you one last time, I want to remember your scent and taste so I can never be mistaken again in my next life.”

Cheng Lydia’s eyes misted with tears as she blinked away her eyes for a moment and nodded with a forced smile, “Good.”

Shen Ron’s fingers slid to her delicate jaw, gently teasing it upward and lowering his head for a gentle kiss.

His lips were cool, perhaps from being sick.

“Thanks.” He released her.

“Whatever happens in the future, you take care of yourself.” He said.

“I will.” Cheng Lydia nodded, if not for herself, she would take care of herself for the sake of this child in her belly.

In fact, she wanted to tell Shen Ron that he and her child had always been there, but she was worried that it would add to Shen Ron’s psychological burden and disenchantment and make him leave this world with regrets.
