Chapter 124 - He Was Not At Fault
Chapter 124 – He Was Not At Fault
Inside the hospital room with white-colored painted walls, the lying figure on the bed moved her fingers.
The long eyelashes fluttered a little and Shen Youlin opened her eyes slowly.
It took her a moment to see everything in front of her clearly.
She frowned, feeling the pain in her head as she tried to find where she was. She wanted to use her hand to press her badly aching head, however, she suddenly felt someone holding her hand.
Eyebrows knitted in confusion, Shen Youlin moved her eyes to her hands and found Mo Roulan sleeping while holding her hand.
She was confused for a moment before memories from a few hours ago came crashing down on her…even the memories of the moments when she had pushed Mo Roulan away and shouted at her.
Shocked, Shen Youlin snatched her hand from Mo Roulan's hand.
Her sudden movement made Mo Roulan awake.
Mo Roulan instantly opened her eyes as if she had never slept deeply and was ready to wake up any moment.
"Youlin"
She called out when she saw that Shen Youlin was awake and raised her head from the hospital bed.
"I'll go and call Doctor."
Saying this, Mo Roulan went out of the room leaving the pale-faced Shen Youlin looking at her disappearing back.
———
Fang Zhihan stepped out of his cabin with Shen Weisheng.
In Fang Zhihan's hands, there was a packet.
"See Weisheng…now slowly I am becoming He Jian's servant. Ha…it amazes me just how much he worries about that girl. He sent food for her and called me especially to give it to her right now. Like really…I mean I checked the packet. He had sent food only for one person. You know what…I can assure you if any one of us one day got admitted in the hospital, he will not even come and or give a call to ask how we are unless we call him and tell that we are on the brink of death."
Fang Zhihan rolled his eyes while he said this.
Shen Wiehsneg glanced at Fang Zhihan condescendingly and said without any expression on his face.
"Why are suddenly behaving like a jealous wife? This is something that Ji Fan does. Don't try to steal anyone's role."
Fang Zhihan's eyes narrowed when he heard his friend's words.
"You…why do I feel like you are also protecting that girl now?
Shen Weisheng looked straight but answered Fang Zhihan's question.
"She is good to Youlin."
Shen Weisheng remembers the few times he had seen his sister in the past few days, she looked happier and cheerful. He had been surprised when Shen Youlin had lived in Shen Mansion for a few days before his engagement party but he didn't find her pestering anyone for their attention.
For so many years, he had seen Shen Youlin seeking his mother's attention or for his grandfather's love but she has never got any.
In their eyes, Shen Yiling has always been the important one and he had known this since he had stepped inside Shen Mansion.
Shen Weisheng still remembers when he had suddenly entered Shen family how everyone used to think that he was just an illegitimate child brought from somewhere else.
Despite being the original heir of Shen family, he had seen people mocking him and questioning his identity but people in Shen family didn't seem to notice this or perhaps they have but chose to ignore it.
Shen Weihseng didn't care whether the case was the latter and the former.
He didn't have any attachment with anyone in the Shen family and hence he never expected anything from them.
That's why slowly and slowly, he started to treat his family members as strangers.
But Shen Youlin was different.
His sister had always tried to attract their mother's attention. He had seen her trying hard to study to get good marks just because their mother used to give some 'special' gifts to the child who used to get higher marks amongst them.
Shen Youlin had strived hard and had never left any opportunity to get whatever little she could get from their mother.
She was a silly girl but her silliness caused people to feel pity for her.
That's why he had been surprised seeing her sudden change of behavior towards Shen family members but nonetheless was relieved.
However, today seeing Mo Roulan's care for his sister, he suddenly understood where are all these changes in his sister coming from?
Shen Youlin's changes and Mo Roulan's coming to the City H…all these things perfectly coincide with each other.
"Zhihan…"
"Huh?"
Shen Weisheng was silent for a few moments and then said
"I read somewhere that sometimes depressed teens tend to get addicted to such things."
Fang Zhihan sighed and put his arms across Shen Weisheng's shoulders.
"It's alright, Weisheng. Don't you trust me? Although I am not a psychologist, If I found any such issue with your sister then I will surely tell you, alright?"
Shen Weisheng was silent for a moment and then nodded his head.
Seeing this, Fang Zhihan narrowed his eyes
"By the way, when did you suddenly start caring about this sister of yours?"
Fang Zhihan had never seen Shen Weisheng caring about his family members and that's why he was surprised to see Shen Weisheng's behavior.
However, Shen Weisheng never answered his question and remained silent.
At this moment both of them saw Mo Roulan running towards them and Shen Weisheng increased his pace instantly.
"Mr. Fang, Youlin is awake."
Fang Zhihan nodded his head.
"Take this. It's for you. I will go and check her."
Saying this, Fang Zhihan stuffed the packet in his hands in Mo Roulan's hands and then ran to check on Shen Youlin.
Confused Mo Roulan looked at the packet in her hands and then at Shen Weisheng.
But when she saw Shen Weisheng standing still she was more confused.
'Won't he go and check on his sister?'
She thought to herself but couldn't ask him.
"Jian send it for you."
"Huh?"
Mo Roulan raised her head in surprise when she heard Shen Weisheng's words.
When she felt the warmness of the packet in her hand, she instantly knew that there was food inside the packet.
'He sent it for me?'
She suddenly didn't know how she should behave.
What should she do?
Should she accept it or reject it?
.
.
.
In the end, Mo Roulan went back home giving the packet of food to Shen Weisheng. She also asked him to thank He Jian for his considerate thoughts and made a perfect excuse.
Because she saw that packet had food for only one person and she can't let Shen Youlin eat the hospital food, she will go back home and cook some nutritious food for Shen Youlin.
As she cut the vegetables, Mo Roulan remembered how Shen Weisheng had stared at her as if he could read her thoughts but she remained calm.
She actually doesn't care even if he could see through her lies.
She was understanding He Jian's behavior more and more.
He was a good man. Even in her past life, he had always been a good man. Since she saved him, according to him, he found her and tried to give her a peaceful and comfortable life.
He cared for her but it was she who misunderstood his care for love.
He was never at fault.
It always has been her who selfishly continued to hold onto something one-sided. It was right for him to abandon her when he couldn't handle her.
So she doesn't deserve to hate him for something that was out of his control.
However, it was still difficult for her to accept his care.
It should be good if they stayed away from each other.
Both of them will stay happy.
"Roulan"
Mo Roulan came out of her trance when she heard her mother's voice.
Lin Qianru stepped inside the kitchen and washed her hands hurriedly.
"Are you hungry? Leave it…Mother will cook something for you immediately."
But Mo Roulan avoided her mother's hands and said
"No, Mother. I need to make something nutritious and take it to the hospital."
"Hospital? For whom"
Lin Qianru frowned as she looked at her daughter and Mo Roulan bit her tongue.
A moment later, she lowered her head and answered her mother
"That…Mom… for Youlin…right Youlin is ill. So I need to make something for her so that she can get some energy."
Mo Roulan released a sigh and turned to fill some water in the pot to wash the rest of the vegetables. However, Lin Qianru was still frowning deeply not able to understand anything.
"What happened to Youlin? She looked fine in the early morning when I saw her."
Mo Roulan beat her forehead with her hand and thought of something.
"Mom, because of stress…Youlin studied very hard this time and her body couldn't take it. She didn't take much rest last night so got ill."
Mo Roulan was not feeling nice while lying to her mother but she couldn't possibly tell her mother everything.
Lin Qianru frown loosened and she was back to her mother's mode.
"You girls…I ask both of you to eat and rest properly but both of you never listen to me."
All the while, Moo Roulan cooked the meal with her mother she had to hear her mother's nagging silently.
Finally, after half an hour, she stepped out of the apartment and released a sigh of relief.
However, when she reached the hospital with food for Shen Youlin in her hands, she was shocked by the words she heard.
