Chapter 923 - Like Someone (2/2)

“I understand.” That was exactly why Lu Ke’en was worried about. So everyone had clamped down on this. The Xia household was here about the matter every day a few days ago, but no one had breathed a word.

…

Xia Ruoxin opened at her and stared blankly at the already open windows. Sunlight came in through the window. The light was not strong. It was mild and comfortably warm.

She reached out and wanted to touch something, but she felt that it was too far from her.

At this time, the door of the ward opened. Lu Jinrong walked into, with Lu Ke’en right behind him.

“Dad, you’re here.” Xia Ruoxin smiled at Lu Ke’en, but that only made him tear up.

He walked over and put his hand on Xia Ruoxin’s forehead.

“Does it hurt?”

That made Xia Ruoxin sniffle. She held in her emotions, but her eyes continued to turn cloudy.

“Dad, don’t worry. It doesn’t hurt anymore. It’s a small injury. It’s nothing.”

Lu Ke’en’s finger trembled slightly.

This silly child, what small injury. How could surgery be a small thing?

Xia Ruoxin pulled herself together and spoke to Lu Ke’en for a while, but she did not mention anything about her injury. She fell asleep after a while of talking, but Lu Ke’en dared not wake her up. He eyed the ward and was rather satisfied with it. Else, he would have arranged for a transfer.

He had seen his daughter. Even though it was a rather close call, they could only wait for her to recover. No matter how serious, her injuries would heal over time. However, did that include wounds on the heart?

“Does it have anything to do with the Xia household?” Lu Ke’en asked his son. He was not stupid. It was likely to be related. You’re good, Xia Mingzheng. I haven’t even asked for a reply, but he came to our door to be showered with good food and good cigarettes. He even finished a pot of my top-class tea leaves that I can’t even bear to drink.

Xia Mingzheng’s daughter was fine and waiting to be a bride now, but how many days had his daughter been in the hospital? She even had to undergo surgery. This was not over yet.

He would not back down even if there were two Chu families, not to mention just a Xia household that was related by marriage.

“Xiaohua refuses to say.” Lu Jinrong did not understand. Xia Ruoxin refused to say anything, and they could not get anything out of her. However, they all knew that the Xia household had something to do with it… as did Xiaohua’s old identity.

Lu Ke’en felt his head throb. “Say, who do think Xiaohua’s personality takes after?”

“A little like you, Dad.” Lu Jinrong did not lie. Xia Ruoxin’s personality resembled him in some ways. She really did resemble him. She was stubborn and strong… but a softie at the same time.

If he did not see his sister die with his own eyes, he would have assumed that this was really his sister. Unfortunately, his parents only gave him one sibling. Despite all the assumptions and ifs, Lu Ke’en only had a daughter as far as he could remember; but she was definitely not the current Lu Xiaohua.

…

Chu Lui opened the door and walked in as he sat down in front of Song Wan and gripped her hand tightly.
