Chapter 371 - You will come with us. (2/2)
Deming, who was standing at the side looked at all this and then said gratefully. His voice was laced with little politeness which was really rare. But since the woman had saved the life of Lifen, he did not care but showed it in the form of gratitude.
”Thank You for saving Lifen. We are really grateful to you. Now since you are yourself the injured one here, we won't bother and interrupt your rest. We will take your leave”, he said as he tried to tug Lifen towards the exit but the next second got a warning glare from her.
”What are you doing? Is this how we should show our gratitude to someone who saved our life?”, he whispered lightly near his ears, so that he was the only one to hear her words.
”Wasn't I polite just now?” he asked, defending himself.
”Shh … enough now. Let me handle it. We can't leave her here alone when she has got injuries because of us. And also don't forget she has not one by her side now. We can't be insensitive”, she said turning back to face the woman.
As she looked, she smiled, ”Ms. Rebecca, we are really grateful for what you did for us. But won't be nice if we leave here all alone. You really need some rest. Please take the advice of the doctor and don't force yourself to get discharged yet”. There was concern in her voice, anyone who hears those words can feel it.
Even Lifen did not know why but for some unknown reason, she can't help but feel concerned for the woman she had just met a few hours ago. It was like she was feeling some kind of connection with her.
The middle aged woman can also feel her worry, so shaking her head in denial, she hurriedly said, ”Hey … no, no please don't feel pressured. I am really fine and living in hospitals is something that feels more like I am lying on my deathbed. Those feelings freak me out. I know I am all fine and can take care of myself. My niece has just gone to a neighboring city and will be back soon. So I will be all fine”
Lifen was still unsatisfied with her words. She looked and said in a little firm tone. More like a little demanding, ”Fine I can understand that you don't want to live in this hospital and also that you are all fine. But those words are still not assuring me. Don't be this tough any more. If you want, then come and live with us for the few days, at least until your niece comes back”
Deming never knew that at the end her words would get to this track. It was something he was not in favor of. But the damage was already made and in no way he would be asking her to take her words back. He can only be more cautious from now on.
He looked at the woman who was being so friendly and cheerful all this time. He can feel there was something amiss in her but was not able to point his finger on that. Was it for good or bad, it was still to be known.
The woman smiled as she heard those words, ”You know you are much like the daughter I had once but still never had. I feel like I was the unfortunate one but now looking at you, it feels like I never lost that daughter instead have got you today. But still I can't accept your words, it will just create a burden”
Lifen too felt her words. Now since she has said those words, she too felt that all this while she was feeling the motherly love around her, similar to the love Mother Wu has always showered on her. Unknowingly she felt that her eyes were filled with some tears.
Why was she feeling like that now?
”That's enough. I am not going to be repeating again. Doctor, please help me prepare her discharge papers, she will be leaving with us”, Lifen said in a firm term to which the doctor nodded after confirming with the woman.
Deming looked at the scenes going on and turned little suspicious but at the end went according to his woman's words.
