Chapter 518: Chapter 518: You Can Come In

An hour later, in a hospital room in downtown Paris, Yang Chen stood by little Harry's bedside with Lin Ruoxi. Also present was Harry's mother, who had rushed over after being notified.

After the doctor's examination, it was determined that Harry's fainting was due to anemia. In fact, the doctor couldn't provide any other diagnosis.

Harry had woken up by now. Seeing his teary-eyed mother, he softly said, "Mom, you shouldn't cry. Dad hates it when kids cry. If you cry, Dad won't like it."

"Yes, Mom won't cry," the woman wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled, then turned to Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi, who were standing nearby. "I really have to thank both of you. Our Harry has always been healthy. I don't know why this suddenly happened."

Yang Chen said, "It's nothing serious. The doctor said there won't be any lasting effects. Kids often have sudden health issues. Just take care of him in the future."

Lin Ruoxi glanced at Yang Chen. She certainly didn't believe that Harry's condition was truly sudden anemia but understood why Yang Chen was keeping the truth hidden. Seeing him lie so calmly left her with mixed feelings.

The woman remembered something and said to Harry, "Harry, thank the uncle and auntie. They saved you."

Harry didn't remember anything. In his mind, he had fainted on the street, so he wasn't scared. He obediently said, "Thank you, uncle. Thank you, sister."

Harry's voice was still soft, as his body hadn't fully recovered.

Yang Chen felt a twinge of annoyance. Damn it, your mom told you to say "uncle and auntie," but you chose "sister" instead?!

Lin Ruoxi's eyes reddened slightly with sympathy. She stepped forward and gently touched Harry's chubby cheek. "Harry is such a good boy."

"Miss Lin, Mr. Yang, Harry's father is very busy with work and rarely comes home. He should be here to thank you both, but I can't reach him right now. How about this: don't leave yet. It's almost dinner time. Let me take you to a nearby French restaurant for a meal," the woman said earnestly.

"There's no need for that. Since the doctor said Harry needs to stay in the hospital and be observed for another day, you should stay here and take care of him. We also have two friends waiting outside, so it wouldn't be convenient for us," Lin Ruoxi said.

The woman hesitated for a moment but finally said apologetically, "In that case, I can only say 'thank you' again."

Lin Ruoxi smiled and indicated it was no trouble. Suddenly, she remembered something and took out the bouquet of bluish-purple flowers she had bought from Harry earlier from her bag.

The flowers had wilted a bit from being kept for a while, but they still looked decent.

"I'll leave these flowers here for Harry to cheer him up," Lin Ruoxi said, placing the bouquet beside Harry's bed.

Harry blinked and said, "But I already sold these flowers to you, sister. How can I take them back?"

"Since they belong to me now, it's up to me if I want to give them to Harry, right?" Lin Ruoxi said.

Yang Chen nodded, rubbing his chin. "I need to tell you something in advance. Tomorrow afternoon, I need to go somewhere alone to handle some matters. My old friend who came to see me this morning was about that. It might be very late tomorrow or even early the next morning before it's resolved. I'm telling you now so you won't worry."

Lin Ruoxi, recalling Sauron from earlier that morning, wanted to ask Yang Chen if the situation was dangerous. But when the words reached her lips, she merely said coolly, "Who would worry about you? Do whatever you want. I find it more peaceful when you're not around."

Yang Chen smiled wryly, having expected this response. "As long as you're not worried, that's fine."

Though Lin Ruoxi felt a twinge of regret, the words were already spoken and couldn't be taken back. She kept up her indifferent facade as she walked out of the hospital with Yang Chen.

Just as they stepped outside, Yang Chen's eyes showed a hint of suspicion. He stopped and turned to look back at the deserted hospital entrance.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ruoxi asked, noticing Yang Chen hadn't followed her.

Yang Chen turned back with a smile. "Nothing. I was just thinking that you should buy some gifts for Harry tomorrow. Meeting him here in France is quite a serendipitous event."

Lin Ruoxi's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. I'll buy some treats and toys for Harry tomorrow."

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, and they walked back to the parked Maybach. However, as they reached the car, Yang Chen immediately stopped Lin Ruoxi from opening the door.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ruoxi asked, puzzled.

With a mischievous smile, Yang Chen knocked on the rear window. After about two minutes, the rear door opened from the inside, and a heady, musky scent filled the air, the unmistakable smell of hormones.

Lin Ruoxi's eyes widened, her face instantly turning a cherry red. Inside, Stern and Alice, disheveled and sweaty, were clinging to each other, their clothes askew.

Alice, her eyes sparkling like spring water, brushed back her silver hair and, with a blush, either from embarrassment or leftover excitement, giggled, "Sorry to keep you waiting. You can come in now."

If Lin Ruoxi still didn't understand what had happened in the car, she wouldn't be merely innocent but downright na?ve. She flushed with embarrassment and frustration.

Yang Chen, ever the rogue, said seriously, "I don't mind if you two do that in the car, but please clean up your mess. Otherwise, when we return the car, people might think my wife and I left these traces. That's not my style, and my wife's scent is much purer."

Lin Ruoxi immediately smacked Yang Chen on the back. "Stop it! Aren't you ashamed?!"

She was exasperated with this group. First, the siblings, Stern and Alice, were getting frisky in the car, even though their incestuous relationship was known. They didn't need to be this shameless! And Yang Chen, ever the scoundrel, shamelessly asked them to clean up while making those embarrassing comments.

Once back in the car, Lin Ruoxi was still blushing, her heart pounding. From the rearview mirror, she saw Stern and Alice getting cozy again and felt on the verge of collapse.

Who were these people? They had almost been killed by those monsters earlier. Although she didn't know how, Yang Chen had saved everyone. But these siblings were so thick-skinned they didn't ask any questions and just sneaked back to the car to get frisky.

Lin Ruoxi had assumed that even if she didn't ask about the strange events of the afternoon due to her personality, Stern and Alice would seek clarification. Now she realized it was futile to apply normal logic to the three oddballs in the car with her.
