Mr Fu, I Really Love You Chapter 838 - Her Feelings Also Calmed Down by Quite a Bit

Chapter 838: Her Feelings Also Calmed Down by Quite a Bit

Lin Chen knew that once something was said aloud, it would be akin to pus.h.i.+ng both parties into a dead end. Therefore, he had been bottling everything up in the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps because he was affected by his illness, or maybe because he wanted to drive Lin Nuan further away, Lin Chen ultimately couldn’t stop himself from being reckless.

The surroundings were so quiet that one could hear the wind howling outside…

“Did you think that saying this would make me turn around and leave?”

After a momentary silence, Lin Nuan asked Lin Chen, her feelings agitated!

“We grew up together! How would I not know that you’re deliberately saying this because you don’t want me to interfere in this matter?” Lin Nuan took out her phone, lowered her gaze, and dialed Lin Ran’s number. “Brother, do you really think that I don’t dare tell anyone in the family?”

Seeing Lin Nuan calling someone on her phone, Lin Chen frowned and seized the phone from her. He hung it up and tossed it on the coffee table. The phone made a crisp sound when it hit the coffee table, then slid off the smooth surface and fell onto the ground.

“I didn’t manage to scare you off, huh? You’ve become capable now, huh?” Lin Chen frowned even harder, yet his tone was still calm.

Lin Nuan didn’t speak a word as she bent over to pick up her phone with reddened eyes. She then straightened her body and gazed at Lin Chen, who sat opposite her. “You’re my brother! You’ll be my brother for this lifetime! I don’t care if you’re letting me worry about you, I’m going to do it anyway!”

“Are you able to?” Lin Chen felt helpless, and more than feeling helpless, he felt angry.

“If I can’t, I’ll get Dad to do it! Get Lin Ran to do it! I’m not your biological younger sister, but Lin Ran is! If Lin Ran and Dad can’t do it, I’ll tell Grandpa! I’m sure there’ll be someone who can take charge of you!”

Lin Nuan raised a hand and wiped her tears with the back of her hand, her choked voice sounding gentler now. “Back then… when my birth father was diagnosed with cancer, he didn’t say a word to me and just went on to jump off a building. After that, I no longer had a father! I really regret not having done anything! I’ve always thought, if I had gone to look for him earlier back then and taken him to the doctor, we might have been able to turn things around!”

She stared at Lin Chen with reddened eyes. “Brother… we grew up together. Back then, when I found out that I wasn’t a biological daughter of the Lin family, I strongly expressed that you and I weren’t family. But in my heart, feelings-wise, I have much stronger feelings of kins.h.i.+p towards you than the birth father I never spoke with! Since I was young, you were the one who s.h.i.+elded me, coaxed me, and doted on me! The thing I’m most proud of is having such an outstanding, brave, and gentle older brother like you! If I leave you alone despite knowing that something has happened to you… if I shrink away in fear after a few sentences from you, I would hate myself to death!”

Lin Chen looked away from her and gazed outside the window, his eyes were moist and red!

Lin Nuan’s words were like a little hook, hooking out the memories that had been sealed away in the depths of Lin Chen’s heart for a long time.

When they were little, Lin Nuan was fat and fair, with large and watery eyes!

The little one would wear a pink dress and liked to follow her older brother around, calling out, “Brother! Brother!” Every time Lin Chen came back from school, he would see the little Lin Nuan standing at the entrance waiting for him!

When Lin Nuan first started learning to walk, it was summer. Every time he came back from school, before the car was even parked properly, the little one would bounce towards the side of the car. The instant Lin Chen got out of the car, she would hug his legs and gaze up at him, raising her hands up high and asking for a hug. Her black and bright eyes were sparkling when she looked at him, as if he were her most beloved kin!

Later, when Lin Nuan got older, when it was snowing and cold outside, the little one wore a red cotton-padded jacket, white gloves, and earm.u.f.fs, with two wifi-like braids sticking up on her head. She waited for her older brother while holding a piping hot sweet potato in her hands. The moment she saw the car that went to fetch Lin Chen, she had run over and stood on her tiptoes, raising the roasted sweet potato to Lin Chen as if presenting a treasure to him. In a soft and cute voice, she said that Grandpa had bought it secretly and that she wanted to share it with Brother. Also, they should be careful not to let Mama find out about this, for Mama found it dirty!

Memories from his childhood started overwhelming him. Lin Chen could no longer remember what he had done for Lin Nuan, but what Lin Nuan had done for him, he remembered vividly!

Lin Chen’s throat vibrated a little. He whipped out his money clip from his coat pocket and drew out three 100RMB notes, setting them on the coffee table. He then closed the money clip and slipped it back into his pocket before getting to his feet. With his brows furrowed, he said, “Do whatever you like!”

Lin Nuan also got to her feet. Looking at Lin Chen’s back view as he left, Lin Nuan felt upset.

Noticing that Lin Nuan’s eyes were reddened, and having heard Lin Nuan and Lin Chen argue earlier, You Nainai gazed at Lin Nuan with concern. Her lips moved, but no sound came out.

Lin Nuan’s brows were knitted. After calming down her emotions with some difficulty, she said to You Nainai, “Let’s go…”

Lin Nuan called Fu Huai’an, telling him that her period had come and that she was returning to Haicheng first because her stomach wasn’t feeling well. Fu Huai’an reminded Lin Nuan to have a good rest when she got back and didn’t insist that she wait for him.

On the way back to Haicheng, Lin Nuan looked up information on heart tumors. Sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat, Lin Nuan inevitably felt nauseous, having stared at her phone screen for too long.

She locked her phone, then thought back to what she found…

The online encyclopedia stated that regardless of whether they were benign or malignant, heart tumors were rather uncommon clinically, and primary tumors were even rarer. It stated that 3/4ths of heart tumor cases were benign, whereas 1/4th were malignant. Lin Nuan truly feared that Lin Chen was among the 1/4th!

It wouldn’t be so bad if it were benign. The worst-case scenario would be if it were malignant!

Lin Nuan, who was sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat, arrived home in a dazed state. She went to her room and leaned against the French window, contacting Xie Jingqian and asking if she knew Professor Guan Yanfei of Jincheng’s Furen Hospital.

Xie Jingqian said that Guan Yanfei was the teacher of her sister-in-law, Su Nian. Professor Guan even said that her sister-in-law was an especially good cardiology student and wanted to groom her sister-in-law, so her sister-in-law was on close terms with Professor Guan. Out of curiosity, she asked Lin Nuan why she was asking. Was it because a friend of hers had fallen ill?

Lin Nuan would normally find it hard to ask such favors, but in the face of Lin Chen’s illness, it was considered nothing. Lin Nuan said to Xie Jingqian, “It’s my older brother. There’s a tumor on his heart. I heard that it’s really hard to get a consultation with Professor Guan, that one might not be able to see Professor Guan at Furen Hospital even after waiting for one or two months. So I…”

“I understand what you mean! Don’t worry, leave this matter to me. My sister-in-law is really easy to talk to! I’ll get her to help!” Xie Jingqian understood what Lin Nuan was trying to ask, so before the latter could finish speaking, she agreed to help. “I’ll call my sister-in-law right away. I’ll call you back when I hear from her!”

“Thank you!” Lin Nuan thanked her, her hand gripping the curtains on the right side of the window.

“You’re standing on ceremony by thanking me. Wait for my news!”

After ending the call, Lin Nuan received a message from Fu Huai’an on WeChat, asking her if she got home safely. Lin Nuan sniffled and replied to his message, informing him that she got home.

Ten minutes later, before Xie Jingqian called Lin Nuan back, a servant knocked on the door to bring Lin Nuan some raw ginger brown sugar water, saying that Fu Huai’an had called and instructed the servants to prepare it for Lin Nuan.

After drinking the spicy and sweet brown sugar water, Lin Nuan’s body perspired a little, and her feelings also calmed down by quite a bit.
