Chapter 922 - Who is the Murderer? (1/2)

They all said that Xiaohua should wake up today so did she wake up or not?

“Mm, she just woke up, but she fell asleep again.” Gao Yi stood up and extended his hands to adjust the drip speed for Xia Ruoxin.

“Really?” Lu Jinrong extended his hand and felt the temperature on his sister’s head. When he realized that it was not warm, he heaved a sigh of relief. The most fearful thing for sick people was to have a fever. If they had a fever, it meant that their wound was infected. As long as she did not have a fever—at the very least, it proved that she was still recovering.

“Can I know what your relationship with her is?” Lu Jinrong stood up and asked Gao Yi. “She’s my sister now. I have the right to know.” He did not want an outsider he did not know to hit on his sister.

“Let’s go out and talk.” Gao Yi said and walked out. This was the ward, and they should let the patient rest. There were other places to talk about things and other places to talk about the past.

Not long later in Gao Yi’s office, the two men had been talking for a really long time. It was only until now did Lu Jinrong realize that Xia Ruoxin had been through so many things before. Even though he always knew that this sister of his was originally Chu Lui’s ex-wife, he did not know that those two had such a big conflict.

As for Gao Yi, he was also considered as a friend. After all, he had saved his niece that passed away. His family did not have kids for a very long time. How great would it be if that kid was still alive? Then, his parents would not grumble every day that they did not have grandchildren even if she was not biological.

“Mr. Gao, I have a request.” Lu Jinrong sat up straight and placed his hands on the table. “I hope she will be Lu Xiaohua in the future and not Xia Ruoxin.”

“I understand.” Gao Yi gently closed his eyes, and when he opened it again, he exhaled heavily. Whoever she was and whatever identity she had, as long as it was not Xia Ruoxin…

The name Xia Ruoxin was essentially a disaster.

“Thank you.” Lu Jinrong extended his hand and placed it in front of Gao Yi. “Nice to meet you, my ill-fated brother-in-law.”

Gao Yi raised his eyebrows. Was he gloating at him? However, he still accepted it as he knew very clearly in his heart that no matter who Xia Ruoxin chose or did not choose, it would not be him.

He knew of this a long time ago. He did not force her, but he still felt upset.

He extended his hand and shook Lu Jinrong’s hand. Underneath his eyes, there was a ripple of loneliness. “I’m very honored to meet you, my ill-fated brother-in-law.”

Both men said one after another and sort of felt pity for the other party.

Then, they actually laughed and had considered sweeping away any displeasure they had of the other party at first.

At this point—in the ward, Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes again; and her red lips kept moving up and down, muttering something. She placed her hand on her stomach, and it was wrapped with thick bandages.

She laughed bitterly. It turned out that her stomach would be cut open one day.

The ward door opened again, and Shen Wei walked in. Quietly, she took the vase on the table and threw the flowers that were sent by somebody into the rubbish bin before inserting hers in and arranging them.

“I heard that you’ve woken up.” She pulled a chair over and sat down directly as she stared at Xia Ruoxin who had her eyes closed.
