Chapter 116 (She Was the Protective Cover)

Thinking in Depth and Planning Carefully, Zhao Yuan’s Father Tried to Protect His Only Son

“Who is she?” On the alert, Zheng Zihuan looked Chen Wanxin up and down.

“My classmate, Chen Wanxin, she comes here together with me to see my father. What is my father’s situation today?” Zhao Yuan said.

“Your father mentioned her…” Zheng Zihuan paused a little and said with a smile, “He will be fine. You see, now he is having a good rest.” Zheng Zihuan moved out of the way. He bent down to get the basin with some filth in it and brought it out. He looked so solemn that it seemed as if he was accomplishing his longed-for wish.

In the hospital bed, the mouth and nose of Zhao Mingjiang were under the breathing mask. He slept very well. He looked as if he had never suffered from any pain.

“You look pretty much like him. He is as handsome as you.” Bashfully, Chen Wanxin slightly twisted her head. While nibbling her lips with her shell-like teeth, Chen Wanxin took Zhao Yuan’s hand and stroked it with some pity.

“His weight has declined 20 kilograms. Otherwise, with a healthy and hearty look, he will be just like his old self in appearance,” Zhao Yuan said while smiling. He felt much more relieved with Zheng Zihuan here.

“Is the uncle who just left your relative? He looked so bookish and gentle that remind me of Wang Xiang.” Chen Wanxin remembered the man just now who she had never seen, and he gave Zhao Yuan’s father such meticulous care.

Chen Wanxin picked up those pills that she didn’t know on the table. Each kind of pills was placed in separated pillboxes. The label on each pillbox pasted in order and the writing on them also looked legible. The man she met just now had written the names and the dosage of those pills on those boxes, and he had also indicated whether the pills should be taken before or after meals. Perhaps, only a careful and thoughtful wife was willing to do all the things he had done for her husband.

“No, he is a friend of my father. He said that they were classmates in their junior school and high school,” Zhao Yuan said truthfully.

Chen Wanxin pursed her lips, but she was going to ask, “Has he married? Does he have any child?” Suddenly, she felt it was very inappropriate to ask such questions, which sounded like a kind of disrespect. Thus, she just nodded and said, “If it were your mother who was here to take care of him, your father would be much happier.”

Unexpectedly, a very crisp sound came from outside the door. It seemed that someone dropped something on the ground. Zhao Yuan rushed to check. He opened the door and saw Zheng Zihuan was picking up the basin in a flurry. Zheng Zihuan just clearly heard that something fell hard on the cold cement floor and was shattered to pieces.

“Uncle Zheng, are you okay? Do you need a break?” Zhao Yuan said politely.

“I’m fine. I just thought that a little kid like you have also grown up and that you even have a girlfriend now.” Zheng Zihuan patted Zhao Yuan’s shoulder and put down the basin quietly. He quickly took away the pillbox from Chen Wanxin’s hand, and said, “Those pills are expensive, and his father should take them on schedule and at the proper dose. Wanxi, you should take care not to drop the pills.”

Chen Wanxin was a little puzzled. The man before her called out her name, which surprised her. But at the same time, she felt delighted because it suggested that Zhao Yuan had already talked about her with the people closest to him. However, what surprised her was that he used a little strength to take the pillbox away from her, but obviously, it was the first time she met him.

“A Yuan, you can go for a walk around with your little girlfriend first. Lately, I always feel someone is staring at me when I go downstairs.” Zheng Zihuan said grumpily.

Zhao Yuan immediately took his suggestion and walked out of the ward with Chen Wanxin in a hurry.

“Look, the person in the ward is your father… He… Why didn’t he allow you to stay in the ward?” asked Chen Wanxin.

Zhao Yuan said, “Uncle Zheng, he is always like this. He doesn’t allow anyone to disturb my father. And the doctor has told us that Dad needs more rest and he must avoid too many mood swings.”

“But I still think he seems to be a little sensitive, and he said that someone is staring at him…”

“He says that all the time. I have paid attention to that, but I haven’t found anything wrong. After all, the hospital is so big, and we are on the 29th floor…” Although Zhao Yuan said something like that, he still wandered around the hospital with Chen Wanxin for a long time. Zhao Yuan knew it very clear that his father entered the hospital in the name of the medical parole, so his father was unprotected now. If someone that had some connection with the condemned prisoner who had tried to assassinate his father came here, Zhao Yuan could not guarantee his father’s safety. Therefore, he spent a lot of money to transfer his father to the ward next to the room where the nurses stayed. In here, people came and went, and most of them were nurses. Finally, Zhao Yuan felt a little relieved.

In the ICU.

Zhao Mingjiang dumped all the pills that Chen Wanxin had touched into the trash can and loaded the boxes with new pills. Then, he gently touched the man’s arm and said, “Zhao, write a few words.”

Zhao Mingjiang nodded with difficulty.

Zheng Zihuan carefully checked and counted the medicine. Resting his chin in his hands, he gazed at Zhao Mingjiang and said, “Brother Zhao, cannot we tell A Yuan the truth?”

Zhao Mingjiang shook his head slightly and reached out his hands to write on the drawing board in the hands of Zheng Zihuan, one letter at a time. “No.”
