Chapter 406: Chapter 406: He charged over without hesitation

Cheng Zhiyin said, "Zhiwei woke up."

Lin Yu quickly inquired about Cheng Zhiwei’s condition. Seeing that she was fine except for her pale face, he finally relaxed and urged Cheng Zhiwei to rest and recover well.

When Lin Yu called Zhou Lin out, Guo Cuihua whispered to Cheng Zhiwei, "You don’t know about Zhou Lin. He sent his secretary to take Zhou Ruoki and Cheng Shang to the paternity test center and forced them to undergo a paternity test. The results proved that there is no blood relation between the two."

Cheng Shang was silent on the spot and cried all night when he returned home and saw the picture of Seo Zhenzhen.

But fortunately, he felt much better and had already agreed to go back to the countryside with Guo Cuihua.

Recalling the paternity test, Cheng Zhiwei hurriedly asked, "Can you please ask where the paternity test he mentioned earlier came from?"

Guo Cuihua said, "Ah Lin has already asked about this, and he must have told Ah Lin everything."

Cheng Zhiwei looked down; Zhou Lin had probably cleared up the entire sequence of events but refused to reveal a single word.

She had a rough idea in her heart.

"Zhiwei, you should focus on healing, don’t worry too much about those things," advised Cheng Zhiyin, "Zhou Lin has truly changed now. It’s a blessing for you."

Otherwise, the endless entanglement would also be a painful torment for both Cheng Zhiwei and the child.

Guo Cuihua nodded in agreement, "At that moment, he really rushed over without hesitation, without a care for his own safety."

It’s true that real feelings are revealed in life and death incidents.

Cheng Zhiwei knew it crystal clear in her heart, but how long could their marriage continue? Who knew.

She gave a weak smile, "When do you plan to leave?"

"We can wait until your injury gets a bit better," Guo Cuihua had intended to leave out of distress, but deep down, how could she bear to leave behind the mother-daughter bond of so many years? When Cheng Zhiwei was hurt, she immediately decided to stay and take care of her.

Even Zhou Lin wouldn’t agree, insisting on taking care of Cheng Zhiwei himself.

This was also a good time for them to grow closer, so Guo Cuihua didn’t argue.

"Mom," Cheng Zhiwei called out softly.

"Hmm?" Guo Cuihua responded promptly, patting her hair, "It was my fault before. After this incident, I’ve realized that nothing is more important than your and your sister’s safety and happiness."

"Yeah, Zhiwei, we will always be a family," Cheng Zhiyin grasped Cheng Zhiwei’s hand firmly, "You need to get well soon."

"Hmm." Cheng Zhiwei’s eyes became teary.

Her heart was incredibly soft.

At that moment, Cheng Zhiyin’s cellphone rang.

She looked at it and her eyebrows faintly knitted, then hung up the call.

"Who was it? Why not answer?" Cheng Zhiwei asked.

"Just telemarketing, nothing important," Cheng Zhiyin put her phone away.

Before she could secure it, the phone rang again.

Cheng Zhiyin hung up again, and then the caller rang once more.

Cheng Zhiwei sensed something was wrong. Just as she was about to speak, Cheng Zhiyin had already left with her phone in hand.

"Is sister dealing with some issues?" Cheng Zhiwei asked Guo Cuihua.

Guo Cuihua, witnessing this for the first time, shook her head, "Rest for now, I will go out and ask her."

"Okay."

As soon as Guo Cuihua left, Zhou Lin walked in.

"Where is Auntie?" Cheng Zhiwei asked.

"She went back to accompany Dad," Zhou Lin stood by the bed and adjusted the dribble rate of the IV, nonchalantly saying, "She’s also your mom, not just ’Auntie.’"

Cheng Zhiwei remained silent.

Zhou Lin bent over and pinched her cheek, softly laughing, "Still feeling awkward?"

Cheng Zhiwei forced a smile, in reality, both of them knew their feelings had been mixed with too many things.

Just like Zhou Lin, who appeared gentle and refined at the moment, the dark circles under his eyes were clearly visible.

"Zhou Lin, about He Mingzhu..."

"Don’t talk about her, I am careful," Zhou Lin cut her off.

Cheng Zhiwei didn’t say more.

After sleeping again, she was awakened by a moist and cool sensation.

Opening her eyes, she saw Zhou Lin’s head bowed down, wiping her feet with a towel.

Cheng Zhiwei: "..."

She instinctively shrank her feet, but the movement pulled on her wound, causing her to hiss in pain.

Zhou Lin glanced at her, "Don’t move around."

"You..."

"Cleaning you up a bit," Zhou Lin explained casually, "I’ve asked Wang Mei, she said it’s best to clean daily to avoid discomfort."

Cheng Zhiwei, embarrassed, cringed and uncurled her toes but dared not make any large movements, only murmuring objection, "You don’t need to go to such lengths."

While they were husband and wife, it was always awkward and embarrassing for Zhou Lin to do such caring acts, even if he was showing concern for her.

Even before they were divorced, the times of intimacy were countable, let alone such personal care.

It wasn’t the usual style of Young Master Zhou.

With his shirt sleeves rolled up above his elbows, neatly, Zhou Lin held a towel in one hand and Cheng Zhiwei’s foot with the other, carefully wiping it.

After wiping, he changed the water and towel again, then pulled the covers back.

Cheng Zhiwei startled, "What are you doing?"

"Also going to wipe down your body," Zhou Lin answered as a matter of course as he went to unbutton Cheng Zhiwei’s clothes.

Cheng Zhiwei, angered, slapped his hand away, her frown deepening from the pain at her wound, "That will do."

"You got caught in the rain the other day and haven’t bathed, it has been two days, it’s better to wipe down," Zhou Lin persuaded, hands continuing their work, swiftly undressing Cheng Zhiwei.

The flush on Cheng Zhiwei’s face deepened, being exposed to a man’s gaze like this was an immense challenge.

The sense of shame surged.

Zhou Lin’s breath stuttered, his movements even gentler and meticulous as he wiped every part of her.

The whole process was torture for Cheng Zhiwei and likewise for Zhou Lin.

In the end, he too went for a shower, only then did the task conclude.

When Wang Mei came in the afternoon to prepare to wipe down Cheng Zhiwei’s body, she learned that Zhou Lin had done it, she was just as incredulous.

At the same time, she was happy for Cheng Zhiwei.

Regardless, her hardships had finally turned into joy.

After a week in the hospital, Cheng Zhiwei was already able to get out of bed and walk around, her wound was healing well, and she would be discharged in another week or so.

Standing by the window for a while to get some air, she glanced down idly.

But she spotted Cheng Zhiyin in an instant.

She was walking briskly forward, with a man following her, trying to pull at her, but she flung his hand away and he followed again.

Cheng Zhiwei immediately thought of the phone call Cheng Zhiyin hadn’t answered that day. Later, she asked, but Cheng Zhiyin only said it was telemarketing, unwilling to say more.

Now it seemed it might have to do with that man.

She thought for a moment and slowly moved towards the corridor outside the ward, making her way towards the elevator.

The elevator was at the end of the corridor on the right.

As Cheng Zhiwei approached, the elevator arrived.

Cheng Zhiyin’s voice was heard, "Guan Ming, will you ever stop?"

A stranger’s voice followed, "Zhiyin, listen to my explanation."
