Chapter 183 - The Secrets Hidden in Memory (14)

Lu Jia’er was greedy for the warmth of Jin Xiangdong’s hand, but she did not answer his question. “Did you notice? I’m so envious of your relationship with your father.”

Jin Xiangdong, who knew about Lu Jia’er’s background, instantly understood the knot in Lu Jia’er’s heart. Thus, he said, “There’s no need for you to envy it.”

“Why?” Lu Jia’er looked at him.

“While you’re envious of others, others are also envious of you!” Jin Xiangdong replied. “In the process of growing up, everyone’s hearts are more or less lacking. There’s a desire, not a lack of satisfaction, but a normal state of mind. Just like me, although I’m very close to my father, I still feel that there’s something missing in my heart.”

Lu Jia’er was a psychologist and she agreed with Jin Xiangdong’s words. Everyone envied others, and no one was an exception. When they saw people around them who were stronger than them in terms of background, education, and experience, they could not help but feel inferior to those people. This lack of confidence was something that almost everyone had.

At this moment, she was trapped in a whirlpool of confidence issues. However, she quickly adjusted herself and followed Jin Xiangdong’s words, saying, “Motherly love!”

Upon hearing these two words, Jin Xiangdong nodded slightly. “Motherly love is indeed part of it. I don’t have it anymore after I was eleven years old. From a psychological perspective, I yearn for motherly love, but apart from motherly love, I’ve always had an inexplicable feeling.”

Lu Jia’er couldn’t help but feel puzzled when she saw Jin Xiangdong. “What do you mean?”

Noticing that Lu Jia’er was scrutinizing him seriously, Jin Xiangdong couldn’t help but smile and say, “I’m not sure, maybe it’s because the heart surgery left behind a mental disorder.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Jia’er tightened her grip on Jin Xiangdong and said with a smile, “Although you’re not a psychiatrist, you’re more empathetic than most people. But don’t worry, what happened in the past didn’t cause me any psychological trauma. As for my envy just now, it wasn’t because of my inferiority. It was just concern.”

Jin Xiangdong smiled and was about to speak when his phone rang. Jin Xiangdong let go of Lu Jia’er and took out his phone from his pocket. When he saw the caller ID, he said to Lu Jia’er, “It’s a call from Jason!”

Lu Jia’er’s expression immediately turned serious as she watched Jin Xiangdong answer the call.

Ever since she got off the plane in America, Lu Jia’er had been followed, eventually getting into a car accident. Even so, she was still concerned about Su Han, who had been kidnapped. Hence, during Jin Xiangdong’s call with Jason, her heart began to pound when she saw his expression changing.

After Jin Xiangdong ended the call, Lu Jia’er immediately asked, “Have they found Su Han?”

Jin Xiangdong looked at Lu Jia’er and shook his head. “Not yet.”

“It’s already been four days. This won’t do. Give me your phone. I’ll call Xu Lei!” Lu Jia’er reached out to ask Jin Xiangdong for his phone.

Jin Xiangdong’s gaze had just landed on the spot where she had been injured in the accident yesterday. Colin had treated his wound well, but after a long day of work, Jin Xiangdong was really worried about Lu Jia’er’s health. Hence, he didn’t give her his phone. ” Jason has been paying close attention to this matter. It’s useless for you to call Xu Lei. I’ll follow up on this matter. Go take a shower. Get some rest.”

Lu Jia’er replied, “I’m not that weak!”

From Lu Jia’er’s current mental state, it was true that he couldn’t tell that she had been injured in a car accident yesterday. However, Jin Xiangdong couldn’t help but feel his heart ache when he saw it with his own eyes. Hence, he didn’t argue with her and directly walked towards the bathroom with his arm around her.
