"Tch."
Li Xin made no attempt to hide her opinion of Luo Buwei from the old man. After the Luo Buwei family left, she gave his retreating back a middle finger.
"Mom," Luo Qinghan quickly grabbed her mother's hand. "Don't let Xun'er learn bad things."
"Right, can't let Xun'er learn bad things," Li Xin also said quickly.
Lin Xiao, however, was the calmest person among everyone. He walked to Xun'er's side, picked her up, and said softly, "Be good, Xun'er. Grandma didn't do anything just now."
"Mm, Daddy, I didn't see anything just now," Xun'er nodded heavily, saying obediently.
As she spoke, she hugged Lin Xiao's arm, looking very dependent.
Old Master Luo, sitting on the bed, saw this and sighed deeply. He looked at Professor Lu and said, "Old Lu, I have something to say to them. I'll trouble you."
"Alright."
After Professor Lu nodded, he tactfully left the ward.
After Professor Lu left, Old Master Luo looked at Lin Xiao. His expression was calm, revealing no emotion. "Young man, what is your name?"
"Lin Xiao."
Lin Xiao then put Xun'er down and let her go to her mother's side.
"Good, Lin Xiao." Old Master Luo nodded, then looked at Luo Qinghan with doting eyes. "Four years ago, do you know how furious I was?"
"I know." Lin Xiao nodded. Of course, he knew that incident, due to a twist of fate, had caused Luo Qinghan to suffer grievances these past few years.
Not just grievances... her reputation, her status, all her previous efforts were almost ruined.
"And you still have the face to stand here?" Old Master Luo retorted, his voice raising a notch. If it weren't for his weakened state, he might have attacked Lin Xiao.
"Because I know I have to stand here. I want to compensate Qinghan, I want to be responsible for her, for their family, and for the Luo family." Lin Xiao said neither subserviently nor obsequiously, meeting the old man's gaze. He knew clearly what he should do. "At the very least, whether Qinghan forgives me or not, I must be here to give her a normal family and for you, for her father, to regain his health."
"Her father..."
Mentioning Luo Qinghan's father, the old man sighed.
Not just the old man, but Luo Qinghan and Li Xin both wore a lingering shadow on their faces.
Compared to the old man, Luo Qinghan's father had suffered a sudden calamity. He was still recuperating in the hospital and had been unable to move normally to this day.
It was precisely because of this that Luo Buwei was so certain that the Luo family would fall into his hands in the future.
Because he no longer had any competitors.
"You... can cure him?" Li Xin was the most excited when she heard Lin Xiao.
Originally, she thought that after so much time had passed, her emotions should be relatively stable. But now, she realized she couldn't remain calm at a time like this.
For so many days, their family, only the three women, had depended on each other. She had shouldered all the pain. As a mother, she had done her utmost.
Today, she suddenly learned that her husband could still be saved!
"My dad can be cured?!"
