Chapter 298 - Where Was Lin Qianru?

A deep frown marred He Jian's forehead and his blue eyes were fixed on Mo Roulan's leg as she staggered slowly further inside the room.

His arm was still around her shoulder but he couldn't help but want to pick her in his arms.

She must be feeling pain there.

However, looking at the girl who was staring at even his arm when he had put it around her shoulder outside the room, He Jian doubted that she will let him do what he wanted to do.

So he stayed silent and tried to help her in whatever he could do.

Still, a part of his heart was very bothered …very bothered by the fact that he couldn't pick Mo Roulan in his arms…that she didn't like it.

He suppressed the dissatisfaction inside his heart and helped Mo Roulan to sit on the chair that was placed in front of Mo Chen's bed.

Mo Chen was unconscious as Fang Zhihan had said.

A tear slipped out of Mo Roulan's eyes when she looked at her brother's face. Sitting on the chair, she forwarded her hand to hold her brother's small hand and a moment later, she kissed it lightly. 

"Chenchen…thank you so much"

Thanks for being alive because she didn't know if she would have been able to handle herself if something had really happened to Mo Chen.

Standing behind Mo Roulan, He Jian also looked at Mo Chen.

Seeing the bruises, scratches, and swelling on his pale face, he couldn't help but try to remember the last time he had seen the young boy smiling in front of him.

It was perhaps on the day he had breakfast with Mo family. The young boy had wished him 'Good Morning' with a cheerful smile on his face.

Somewhere in Mo Chen, He Jian could find Mo Roulan's innocence in Mo Chen's eyes, perhaps that's why he who had never liked children much, liked Mo Chen a little.

"Jiejie…"

A whisper sounded in the silent room suddenly and Mo Roulan immediately raised her head to look at Mo Chen.

He Jian looked at Mo Chen with a frown. The boy should be deeply asleep under the effect of the medicines as Fang Zhihan had said.

He pressed the bell on the bedside table immediately.

Mo Chen's eyes were half opened as he stared at his sister. 

He tried to raise his hand, however, he had lifted it just a little when he couldn't do it any longer. A tear slid down his eyes.

Mo Roulan's eyes widened and she held her brother's hand immediately. As if understanding what he was thinking, she told him. 

"Chenchen…don't worry. It is fine…your arm is completely fine. It is the effect of the medicine that is making you feel so numb."

"Rea…lly?"

Mo Chen whispered again in a choking voice and Mo Roulan nodded her head immediately and wiped Mo Chen's tears with her hands as she said gently.

"Has Jiejie ever lied to you?"

Mo Chen silently stared at his sister and whispered a few moments later.

"That time…I had asked Jiejie not to do anything otherwise I won't ever talk to you….Jiejie still didn't listen to me…"

Mo Roulan knew what Mo Chen was talking about. It was when in that shabby building, Zhu Jidong had asked Mo Chen to walk to his side by threatening him to shoot her. She was a target but she still threw that rod on Zhu Jidong in her attempt of saving Mo Chen even though he had said to her firmly that she should not do anything that could make Zhu Jidong shoot her.

Mo Roulan didn't really regret what she did. However, seeing Mo Chen's innocent eyes now she felt a little guilty inside her heart and whispered genuinely

"Sorry…"

This 'Sorry' was not only for that moment but for the past life where he perhaps had suffered more than this.   

The 'Sorry' was not enough…Mo Roulan knew but she could not do anything else for her brother except to apologize.

Tears filled Mo Roulan's eyes and she clutched Mo Chen's hand as if she was holding her life.

"Jiejie is so sorry…Mo Chen but don't say those words again to me."

Those words ….'I won't ever talk to you' had rung in Mo Roulan's ears for the whole time she was sitting outside the ICU room until she cried her heart out.

Until now, Fang Zhihan had already stepped inside the ICU room. When he saw Mo Chen awake and He Jian's questioning eyes, he nodded his head in assurance indicating that everything was fine.

"It is normal for the patient to wake up…sometimes that medicines take time to effect."

He Jian nodded his head after hearing Fang Zhihan's words.     

"Don't cry…" 

Mo Chen whispered and He Jian and Fang Zhihan also turned to look at him now.

Mo Chen moved his eyes to look at He Jian and said

"Brother Jian…don't let my sister cry…otherwise her eyes will be red and swollen. I don't like it…"

Mo Roulan chuckled a little at these words. 

This little bit of fondness towards Mo Chen made He Jian step forward and caress Mo Chen's head softly. 

"I will not let her cry. You should sleep now."

"Yes, Your Brother Jian is very right."

Fang Zhihan said seriously. 

Mo Chen's eyes were already on the verge of closing but he still asked his last questions.

"Where is Mom?"

After this question, though he didn't want to he still had to sleep soundly.

On the other hand, Mo Roulan finally remembered her mother. She had been so lost in Mo Chen that she didn't even notice that she had not seen her mother around since the moment she had come back.

Her eyes widened and she looked at He Jian immediately.

"Mr. He…My mother…Do you have any idea where she is?"

"Yes, Don't worry. I will ask Chu Feng to pick Auntie and bring her here immediately."

Mo Roulan swallowed and nodded her head. Her mother must be worried. She should have first called her mother and told her that everything was fine now.

Her heart was restless as she staggered out of the room with He Jian's help who was now asking Chu Feng about Lin Qianru.

Mo Roulan frowned when she saw the uneasiness on Chu Feng's face before he agreed to bring her mother here.

Was something wrong?
