Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

“Oh …” Shen Kerwin nodded a little, asking no further questions, a dark look evident in his eyes.

Cheng Lydia held out her hand to him and smiled, “Here, let me pull you up.”

Shen Kerwin glanced at her palm and hesitated for a moment before extending his small hand to her.

Cheng Lydia pulled Shen Kerwin up from the guardrail, pulling his trench coat off and draping it over his shoulders with concern, “Why are you so underdressed? Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?”

Her trench coat was so long it almost covered the soles of his feet.

Shen Kerwin glanced down at the trench coat on his body and looked at her gratefully while his tone was filled with gloom, “I snuck out of the hospital.”

Cheng Lydia really didn’t understand how a child so young could have such a melancholy expression; his life, too, must have been extremely imperfect, right?

It turns out she’s not the only one in the world who is utterly enveloped in sadness.

“How can you sneak out? You have to listen to the doctor when you’re sick.” Cheng Lydia stroked his little head heartily.

“I don’t like being in the hospital.”

“How can you sneak out just because you don’t like it? Where’s your mom and dad?”

“I don’t have a mom and dad.” Shen Kerwin replied sadly.

Cheng Lydia knew she had touched his heart and smiled a little embarrassed, saying, “I’m sorry.”

Shen Kerwin shook his head, the melancholy lifting from his face as he stared up at her and asked, “What about sister? Why did she come here to blow off steam too?”

“Because …” Cheng Lydia sighed bitterly, “Because I’m about to run out of mothers, too.”

Shen Kerwin heard her say that and took her hand knowingly, “Don’t be sad sister, Aunt Qing said that mom will be with us in heaven.”

What a juvenile idea, Cheng Lydia laughed lightly and grabbed his little hand in a smooth grip, “Come on, I’ll take you back to the hospital.”

“I don’t want to go back.” Shen Kerwin shook his head instinctively.

“No, you have to be obedient, an obedient boy is a good boy oh.” Cheng Lydia knelt down in front of him and put her hands on his tiny shoulders, “Tell your sister what hospital you snuck out of.”

“Yarn.” Shen Kerwin replied, the last hospital he wanted to be in.

Yarn, the hospital that Cheng Lydia also couldn’t face the most, she pondered for a moment and smiled, “Okay, let’s go back to Yarn Hospital.”

In any case, what should be faced must always be faced, running away won’t solve anything, so after a short escape, she still has to go back and face reality.

After sending Shen Kerwin back to his ward, Cheng Lydia met his Aunt Qing, the old maid who used to accompany Shen Kerwin.

Cheng Lydia helped Shen Kerwin into the hospital bed, pulled up the covers for him, and smiled at him gently, “Rest well, heal well, and try to get out of the hospital soon, okay?”

Shen Kerwin nodded and asked with an expectant look on his face, “Will my sister visit me later?”

Cheng Lydia thought about it, it was hard to tell what was going to happen after that.

But to appease Shen Kerwin, she nodded, “Will do.”

“Thank you, sister.” Shen Kerwin smiled happily.

Walking out of Shen Kerwin’s hospital room, Cheng Lydia swept back to look at Shen Kerwin in the hospital bed, turned to Aunt Qing who was walking her out, and asked curiously, “Is it true that little Kerwin’s mom and dad are both gone?”

Aunt Qing nodded and sighed, “Yeah, they’re all gone, such poor kids.”

“And does he have any other relatives?”

“No … no more.” Aunt Green shook her head.

Cheng Lydia gave a soft ‘oh’ and rushed her, “Then Aunt Qing take good care of him, I’ll go first.”

“Yes, thank Doctor Cheng,” Aunt Green said as she watched her leave.

After exiting Shen Kerwin’s ward, Cheng Lydia went straight to her mother’s unit and was overwhelmed by the number of people in her mother’s ward.

Old Mrs. Shen, Zhang Jane and Ho Gina, they were actually all there.

Almost instinctively startled at the sight of Ho Gina, Cheng Lydia rushed up and grabbed her arm glaring at her urgently, “What are you doing here? And what do you want to do?”

Can’t blame her for making a fuss, for Ho Gina she was really scared and now just wanted to lie as far away as she could.

Ho Gina’s arm hurt from her clutching, and her brow furrowed slightly as she wrenched her grip away with a grimace of hatred.

Seeing this, Zhang Jane took a step forward and said to Cheng Lydia, “Don’t be afraid, young lady, my Gina has come all the way here to apologize to you.”

Cheng Lydia froze again, apologizing? Did she hear that right?

Almost out of instinct, she shook her head no, “No, please hurry up and leave.”

“It’s only right that you should apologize for doing something wrong.” The old woman sitting on the couch spoke flatly.

Cheng Lydia turned her gaze to her with all the confusion in her heart, what did it mean? Did the old lady mean that she already knew the truth? Just now at Shen Mansion, she clearly still had a hard attitude and told her and her mother to get lost.

Ho Gina bowed her head to Cheng Lydia, her tone permeated with gritted teeth, “I’m sorry, I was wrong.”

Although she had come to Cheng Lydia and said she was sorry, she was reluctant to do so in her heart. She was certainly not willing to apologize to Cheng Lydia.

“What do you mean by that?” Cheng Lydia gauged the look on her face as she was outwardly apologizing to herself, but in fact she hated to kill herself, and smiled blandly, “Aren’t you the best at dying to admit it? Why did you give in so easily today?”

Ho Gina didn’t say anything, clacking her teeth together.

Cheng Lydia didn’t bother to talk to her and said, “I don’t accept your apology, everything goes according to the procedure over at the police station.”

Ho Gina gave a disdainful swipe of her lips.

As long as the old lady said she would keep her safe, no one could touch her.

“Young lady, I’ll leave you to take care of yourself.” Ho Gina gave her a small smile and turned towards the door of the ward.

She had lost, but it didn’t matter, the real show was still to come, she didn’t believe Cheng Lydia could escape from Ke’s grasp.

She hadn’t turned Ke in, partly because he had warned her that if she did, it would be worse than death for her, and she didn’t know who he was, so she couldn’t have done it if she wanted to. On the other hand, she saved Ko for Cheng Lydia, because what she couldn’t have, she couldn’t let anyone else have, especially Cheng Lydia, who was lucky enough to have a good face.

After Ho Gina left, Cheng Lydia turned her attention to the old woman.

Despite the resentment in her heart, her mother’s life was in the old woman’s hands, and she could not impulsively provoke her again.

When she didn’t speak, the old lady spoke on her own, “If the police were really capable of helping you solve the case they would have solved it already, they wouldn’t have waited until a month later without results, so I advise you to give up and consider it a chance for her to change her ways. Don’t worry, she has promised to leave for America next week and never come back to LS City, and things like those ugly ring things before will never happen again.”

Ho Gina prefers to go abroad rather than marry Young Master Ding, which is Ho Gina’s ultimate choice.

Cheng Lydia took a light breath, trying hard to suppress her heart’s discontent, “Does the old lady mean that this matter is just going to go away?”

“What else can we do?” The old lady stood up from the couch and walked over to her and smiled, “She was raised under my watch and is considered meat in my hands, you can’t force me to cut my own flesh, can you? Besides, I’ve already exiled her to America, that’s a pretty heavy punishment for her.”

The old lady patted her hand, “Life still goes on, it was grandma who misunderstood you before, grandma is here to say ‘sorry’ to you. Come back, we are still a family.”

Still family, that really stung in Cheng Lydia’s ears, how could she continue to be a family after what The Shen Family did to her in cold blood?

It remained all she could do to bite her lip in a death grip, keeping a death grip on her impending outburst.

She should be happy, shouldn’t she? The old woman had seen the truth, had forgiven her, and her mother was saved. What she should be doing is gleefully and gratefully following the old lady back to The Shen Family mansion to continue living that undignified life.

The old woman swept a glance at Cheng Lena, who was skin and bones on the hospital bed, and continued, “Don’t worry, your mother’s surgery will go as planned, and she’ll be awake soon to talk and chat with you.”

Cheng Lydia’s tears welled up and yes, she was happy, her thousand pale heart was happy at the moment, her mother’s surgery was next week and she might wake up soon.

But why couldn’t she stop the tears from flowing, all the time?

“What? Too happy to stop crying?” The old woman scowled at her tear-stained face.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Cheng Lydia nodded a little, her body slowly crouching down.

She really couldn’t imagine spending the rest of her days with Shen Ron like she used to? Not anymore, right?

If it weren’t for her mother being able to have her surgery as planned, she would have proudly told the old lady, sorry, I, Miss Ben, have decided to marry someone else!

“Still resenting me?” The old woman felt her tears flowing unnaturally after all.

Cheng Lydia shook her head, how dare she?

The old lady leaned down and took her up from the ground, gazing at her with a straight face, “I was too impatient in the past and disregarded your feelings. You are a good girl, I shouldn’t have questioned you and not listened to your explanation, today I will promise you in front of your mother that I will love you well in the future, don’t cry.”

Cheng Lydia didn’t say anything, wiping the tears away from her face.

She never trusted anyone’s promises again, especially The Shen Family people’s, but she put on a grateful look and nodded, “Thank you, Grandma.”

Gu William had originally planned to accompany Cheng Lydia’s mother after helping her transfer to the hospital and then go shopping for a few household items; after all, the apartment was filled with things that were on the masculine side, many of which were not suitable for women.

Little did I know that Cheng Lydia would be moving back to The Shen Family after only one night in his apartment.

This is something Cheng Lydia herself didn’t expect; just this morning, she still thought she and Shen Ron were henceforth enmeshed, and this afternoon she was going back to living with him again.

Cheng Lydia gathered up the few items that belonged to her in the house; in fact, she had already finished putting them away, but she just didn’t know how to turn around and face the people behind her.

Behind her, Gu William leaned with his arms around his chest against the prism of the door, his deep gaze moving with her body.

Finally, Cheng Lydia couldn’t pretend anymore, turned to look at him and said, “Thank you for taking me in last night, and I didn’t think I’d ever go back to The Shen Family again, but it was my choice.”

The old lady was right, life was always going to go on, she had no choice other than that.

“Since it’s your choice, I have nothing to say.” Gu William smiled slightly, a mixed feeling beneath his smile, disappointed on one side and happy for her on the other.

Whether he’ll admit it or not, Cheng Lydia and Shen Ron are the couple that should be together.

Cheng Lydia paused and added, “And the million, just send me the card number and I’ll credit it back to you tomorrow.”

“How about you keep it for later?” Gu William spread his hands indifferently, “The million is a drop in the bucket for me anyway.”

“But it’s astronomical to me, and I’d be upset to put it in my mind.”

“Well then, you can do whatever makes you happy.” Gu William did not force her to take it, as he did not want to burden her mind.

“Then … I’ll go first.” Cheng Lydia lifted the tiny suitcase in her hands.

“I’ll give you a lift.” Gu William reached for the small suitcase she was holding, and as she avoided it, she said, “No, I’ll just take a taxi back myself.”

How sad was it for him to let Gu William send her to another man, how could she let him do that?

Perhaps Gu William, however, insisted on seeing her off, leading the way to the door with his small suitcase.

Cheng Lydia got into his Bugatti and wondered if it was because the cabin was so low that she felt a depression in her mind.

The car pulled onto the private road that was The Shen Family mansion, passing the road where her car had crashed, she saw the burn marks of the car and saw the large tree that had a piece of its bark knocked off by the car. A shiver ran down her spine, what a gut-wrenching memory.

Cheng Lydia looked away from her face to avoid allowing herself to feel the thrill of the moment.

Pulling up in front of The Shen Family mansion, Gu William craned his head to survey her, who was obviously a bit hesitant, and said with a slight smile, “If you regret it, there’s still time to retreat.”

Cheng Lydia took a light breath and said to him, “No regrets.”

“So, if Shen Ron dares to bully you remember to tell me and I’ll help you clean him up.

“Yeah, help me get my revenge.” Cheng Lydia laughed.

For the first time in a month, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Cheng Lydia got out of the car and waved a palm at Gu William, watching Gu William’s car drive away before turning around and heading inside the mansion.

As she walked through the house, Cheng Lydia felt a chill run down her spine and looked up to find Shen Ron on the second floor living room terrace, standing with a bag in one hand and a cup of tea in the other, watching her from within the parapet.

If it were in the past, Cheng Lydia might have been nervous and would have feared his misunderstanding, but today, she didn’t have the slightest worry in her heart, let alone the slightest nervousness.

“Lydia’s back.” The older woman greeted her as she stepped into the main house with a smile as usual, her tone as natural as if nothing had happened.

Cheng Lydia returned her polite smile as usual, “Yes, Grandma.”

“Is the injury on your leg better?” The old woman moved her gaze to her leg, “If it’s uncomfortable, let the doctor send a good cure, don’t fall sick.”

Cheng Lydia also looked down at her left leg and said, “It’s more or less healed, I’ll take care of it myself, no need to worry about it Grandma.”

“Grandma, I’ll go up first.” She bowed her head at the old woman and took a step upstairs.

Every sentence, every word was as raw as if it came from inside a cyborg.

The old lady looked at her back and disappeared into the second floor, sighing helplessly and sighing quietly, “This relationship is like a glass, once it’s broken, it can never return to its original state.”

“It’s all Gina’s fault.” Zhang Jane ducked her head apologetically.
