Chapter 1275 - All Settled? (2/2)
The assistant held back the compassion he felt for her, thinking that the matter was settled.
He had just walked several steps up the stairs, preparing to report the outcome of this matter to Lu Jinnan, when he couldn’t resist turning around to glance in Hong Jinyun’s direction. He turned to see Hong Jinyun’s frail body shakily collapse to the ground…
The assistant was shocked to see this. He hurriedly helped her up. “Miss Hong! Miss Hong!”
The assistant called out to her several times, but she didn’t regain consciousness, so he could only lift her horizontally and carry her to the ER.
…
Half an hour later, the assistant went upstairs and stood at the door of Bai Xiaonian’s father’s ward. However, he didn’t enter.
It was Bai Xiaonian who spotted the hesitant assistant at the door and notified Lu Jinnan. “Your assistant is standing at the door…”
Lu Jinnan turned around and glanced at the door, then handed the teacup he was holding to Bai Xiaonian’s father before exiting the ward. He asked after closing the door behind him, “All settled?”
The assistant nodded. “All settled!”
Regarding Hong Jinyun’s mother abandoning Hong Jinyun to return to America, the assistant hesitated about whether he should tell Lu Jinnan about it, looking conflicted.
“Is there something else?” Lu Jinnan asked.
The assistant hesitated for a moment, then said, “Miss Hong’s mother, Madam Li, said she’s going back to America, but she’s not bringing along Miss Hong. She simply left Miss Hong at the entrance of the hospital. Later, Miss Hong fainted, and I sent her to the ER. I feel like I ought to inform you of this!”
Lu Jinnan frowned but said nothing.
“I don’t understand Miss Hong, but that mother of hers is indeed a person who places her own interests above all else! Perhaps after realizing she couldn’t get any benefits out of Miss Hong, she decided to abandon Miss Hong. I’d like to know… how should I handle Miss Hong going forward? Are we still stopping all financial aid towards her?” the assistant asked.
The assistant felt some compassion towards Hong Jinyun.
“However…” The assistant said, “No one has the duty to provide someone with monetary support. If Mr. Lu is still angry over Mrs. Lu and her father’s matter, I feel that you should stay out of this matter, lest Miss Hong’s mother finds out and comes back again.”
Lu Jinnan didn’t say anything after hearing all that, simply entering the ward.
Bai Xiaonian stuck a fork into a slice of apple and stuffed it into her mouth, then turned her head to see Lu Jinnan enter. She asked, “How is it? All settled?”
“Hong Jinyun’s mother is preparing to go back to America. But she’s planning to leave Hong Jinyun here,” Lu Jinnan said.
Bai Xiaonian was very surprised. However, at the same time, she thought it was expected.
“How can such a mother exist!” Bai Xiaonian’s father couldn’t help getting angry. “No matter what, she’s her child. How can she abandon her sick child in the country? Is this reasonable?”
Bai Xiaonian’s father didn’t understand Hong Jinyun. This incident… he only felt that it was Hong Jinyun’s mother’s mistake. Hong Jinyun was a patient, so it was natural for her to gain sympathy points.
Bai Xiaonian’s father was a kind person, and kind people wouldn’t think of someone as being too wicked. Hence, in his eyes, Hong Jinyun was truly a pitiful child…
