Chapter 2045: She Clung onto Shen Zhilie’s Leg
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone in the room fixed their gaze on her.
The look in their eyes revealed mixed sentiments. Firstly, sorrow.
Secondly, curiosity.
Thirdly, confusion.
Shen Longyue frowned. “What’s going on, Luo’an?”
Shen Luo’an glanced at his father and shook his head, bewildered. “She doesn’t seem to know who I am.”
The medical staff soon arrived. They were surprised to see Shen Longyue and greeted him.
“Director.”
Shen Longyue acknowledged them with a nod and urged, “Take her for a check-up.”
“Noted.”
The medics took their positions swiftly. “Please leave the room with them, Director.”
They promptly left the room.
The doctors emerged from the ward after conducting a thorough examination.
However, they had strange looks on their faces.
“She seems to have forgotten who she is.”
“How’s her condition?” Shen Zhilie, rushed over, panting mildly, still clad in his white coat. “Is Sister Manting awake?”
“Yes, she is.” Shen Luo’an closed his eyes.
“That’s great! Once she has regained consciousness, everything else will fall into place.” Shen Zhilie heaved a sigh of relief. “Since her brain has been severely injured in the accident, it’s normal for her to experience some problems with her memory. I’ll go inside to check on her first.”
The doctors knew Shen Zhilie, so they nodded and didn’t stop him from entering.
Shen Zhilie walked into the room and saw Shen Manting trying to sneak out the window.
She had lifted one of her legs over the ledge of the window, but she seemed to be struggling to climb over it as she lacked the strength to do so.
Shen Zhilie shouted, “What are you doing?”
Shen Manting was startled and turned around.
Upon seeing Shen Zhilie approaching her, she immediately grasped onto the windowsill and yelled, “No! Don’t hold me back! I don’t have any money left to pay the medical fees. I’m better off jumping off this building to my death!”
Shen Zhilie was stunned. He quickly pulled her down from the window without hesitation.
Shen Manting was as light as a feather. He was able to lift her easily with one arm.
Shen Manting began to despair. She was flailing her hands and feet about, struggling to break free from his grip.
When she realized her efforts were futile, she clung onto Shen Zhilie’s leg instead.
Shen Zhilie was shocked. Before he could respond, he heard a cry from her.
Shen Manting started sobbing. “I’m penniless, Uncle. Don’t send me for any more check-ups. I’m an orphan. I don’t have any money. The orphanage is about to close down soon. I’ll be finished if the head warden finds out I’ve been undergoing so many tests in the hospital. Please, I beg you, don’t bring me for any more check-ups!”
Shen Zhilie found her pleas incredulous. He was amused yet frustrated by her naiveté.
He turned around and saw Shen Luo’an and Shen Longyue entering the room.
Shen Luo’an’s face turned grim when he saw Shen Manting’s awkward posture.
He strode over to her and pulled her away from Shen Zhilie.
Yet, Shen Manting clutched on tightly to Shen Zhilie’s leg, unwilling to let go as though possessed. She continued wailing, “Don’t pull me away, Uncle. I don’t have any money to pay for the medical bills. I’ll pay you back when I grow up. Don’t report me to the head warden. He’ll finish me off!”
Shen Luo’an trembled when he heard her plea.
He snapped at her through gritted his teeth, “Shen Manting! Stand up now, or I’ll make you pay the medical bills!”
Shen Manting abruptly stopped crying and glanced up at Shen Luo’an. She sniffled and asked, “Are you talking to me?”
“Who else here is named Shen Manting but you?”
Shen Manting immediately rose to her feet, but she was so weak that she almost fell as soon as she stood up.
Shen Luo’an swiftly caught her in his arms.
Shen Manting was 168 cm high, while Shen Luo’an was 180 cm. Her forehead was close to the level of his chin when she stood up to her full height.
Shen Manting’s eyes suddenly widened. She exclaimed, “You look old, Uncle, but why are you so short?”
