Chapter 131:111, Dad, Mom, your unfilial son has returned! !_3
Li Jinwen shook his head and said, “I called him yesterday, but no one
answered. He might still be busy.”
“Hmm, being busy is good. We owe them a debt of gratitude that we probably can’t repay in this lifetime.” Xu Qin glanced at Lin Siyu, who was lying on another hospital bed nearby with a vacant stare, and sighed before saying, “If it hadn’t been for their help, where could we have found such a good doctor and stayed in such a good hospital room?”
Suddenly, just at that moment.
The door to the hospital room was pushed open, and Lin Mo walked in with a bright smile, his hands laden with many big and small packages, and as he walked he said, “Hey, let me listen, who’s talking bad about me?”
In an instant, everyone in the room was taken aback, then all eyes converged
on Lin Mo.
What was this situation?
This…
immediately following, one after another, smiles began to bloom.
“Daddy!!!”
“Daddy, you’ve finally come back!!!”
“I’ve missed you to death!!!!”
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Lin Xiaoxiao dropped her favorite
grapes without hesitation and ran quickly towards Lin Mo.
“You’re back without saying a word!”
Li Jinwen stood up with a smile, chiding him playfully.
“Mo is back!”
“Oh, you’re back, eh!”
The parents-in-law also smiled.
Although after dealing with everything and before coming to the hospital, Lin Mo had reminded himself repeatedly to keep his emotions in check,
the scene before him couldn’t help but make his nose tingle and leave a bitter
taste in his mouth.
What was all his hard work these days for?
Wasn’t it all for this moment?
To others, this was just an ordinary moment of warmth.
But Lin Mo himself knew how hard won this moment was!
When his mother on the hospital bed saw Lin Mo appear, she too wanted to get
up, but she had multiple fractures in her body. The moment she exerted herself, she let out a cry of pain and fell back down.
“Mom! Don’t move around, you’re injured!”
Lin Mo quickly rushed over.
Xu Qin grinned, not minding the pain, and scolded with a smile, “You rascal, you’re finally back. During these days you weren’t here, Jin Wen and your parents-in-law have been exhausted. You, on the other hand, played the absentee boss very well!”
“Mom, what you’re saying… I came back as soon as I was done,” said Lin Mo.
Lin Mo put down what he was holding, pulled up Xu Qin’s blanket, and asked,
“Mom… How are you feeling?”
Thinking of his experiences over the past few days, Lin Mo’s nose tingled once
more.
His eyes reddened slightly, and tears welled up.
Seeing her son’s expression, Xu Qin’s heart jolted, and her eyes reddened as she said, “Mom is doing well, very well indeed- Go check on your father. He hasn’t seen you since he woke up…”
“Yes!”
Lin Mo approached his father’s bedside and without hesitation knelt down, “Dad! I’m sorry! Your unfilial son was not by your side when you were critically
ill!”
Lin Changshui could only lie flat, and as he turned his head to look at Lin Mo with tears in his eyes, he spoke in a very weak voice, “You foolish child, get up.
“Dad… Are you okay?” Tears slid from the corners of Lin Mo’s eyes.
“Mmm… I won’t… I won’t die…”
Tears also slid from the corners of Lin Changshui’s eyes, but his deeply wrinkled face squeezed out a smile, “Get up, son. Dad understands you, 1 understand, I don’t blame you…”
A father’s love is deep and reserved, and if it weren’t for the help of alcohol, sometimes they wouldn’t be able to speak much even when they met face to face.
After regaining his composure somewhat, Lin Mo looked to his in-laws and wife, and said with an apologetic tone, “Dad, Mom, wife, you’ve all had a hard time these days!”
“Hey, look at you, kid. Why the formality after just one trip out? We aren’t family anymore?” Li Jinshan waved his hand and teased with a smile.
“Exactly, what’s there to be so polite about with us? Ain’t we family?”
Zhao Huixian also chided with a smile.
“Dad!”
“And me! Don’t forget about me! I’ve had a tough time too!
Lin Xiaoxiao dashed over.
“Really?”
Lin Mo’s face broke into a smile as he naturally picked up Lin Xiaoxiao. But suddenly, his expression changed. “Hmm? That’s not right, why have you gained so much weight? Have you been sneaking snacks?”
“Ah?” Lin Xiaoxiao quickly wiped her mouth with her sleeve and shook her head vigorously. “No, I didn’t, it’s all because Grandma and Grandpa didn’t finish their food and insisted on giving it to Xiaoxiao.”
Seeing his daughter like this, Lin Mo’s smile grew even brighter.
The parents on the hospital bed, as well as the father-in-law and mother-in-law beside them, also started smiling.
Li Jinwen came over, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and waved at Lin Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, your dad must be very tired from the journey. Come down now, be good.”
“No… no… 1 want Daddy to hold me…” Lin Xiaoxiao began to whine.
It had been so many days without seeing her dad, which was unprecedented for
her.
Lin Xiaoxiao really missed Lin Mo.
“It’s okay, I’m not tired.” Lin Mo missed his daughter too. Immediately, he walked up to Lin Siyu’s hospital bed with Lin Xiaoxiao in his arms. Looking at Lin Siyu’s vacant eyes, he said softly, “Sis, brother is back, and I’ve brought you a gift this time.”
Lin Siyu didn’t look at him, still unresponsive as before.
Lin Mo inwardly sighed, but still said with a smile on his face, “Xiaoxiao, shall
we unwrap the gift and give it to Auntie together?”
“Yes! Yes! I love opening gifts!”
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, her face full of anticipation as she asked, “Do 1 have a gift too, Daddy?”
“Yes, there’s something for everyone!” Lin Mo set his daughter down and walked over to the pile of big and small packages, saying with a smile, “I
brought gifts for everyone.”
“Jin Wen, give this to Mom.”
“Mom, see if you like it.”
Lin Mo handed a jade Buddha to Li Jinwen, who passed it on to Xu Qin. Xu Qin, upon receiving it, complained, “You’re about to be a dad of two, how can you still spend money so recklessly? Wouldn’t it be better to save that money? This… must be expensive, right?”
“It’s not expensive! Just keep it, I rarely buy you presents, Mom.”
Lin Mo said with a smile, then took out three more gifts from his backpack and gave them to his father-in-law, his mother-in-law, and his own father. They all had similar reactions, chiding Lin Mo for his careless spending while also liking the gifts he brought them.
Li Jinwen and Lin Xiaoxiao also received gifts.
Finally, Lin Mo, holding two valuable jadeite peace buckles, came to Lin Siyu’s hospital room.
“Sis, this is a gift from me, let me put it on for you.”
Lin Mo smiled as he hung the peace buckle around Lin Siyu’s neck, then he walked over to another hospital bed, sighed softly, and said, “Brother Zhang Li… I’m sorry for your hardship.”
“When you wake up, I’ll make it up to you!”
After speaking,
Lin Mo put the other peace buckle, identical to the one he gave Lin Siyu, around Zhang Li’s neck.
Although they had not formally met, Lin Mo quite liked the young man, felt a kind of kinship with him, and was grateful for the brief moment Zhang Li had woken up to hint that there was more to the car accident than met the eye, prompting Lin Mo to investigate further.
If not for that, it’s uncertain whether the family could still be sitting here safely today!
The family rarely all together, they celebrated with a lot of delicious food made by two caregivers in the evening.
Even Lin Changshui was granted special permission to sniff a cup of white liquor, satisfying his craving a little.
In the following days, Lin Mo spent most of his time in the hospital, taking care of his parents, chatting with his sister, and also keeping an eye out for opportunities to make money.
Of course, he also followed up on information regarding the police and Lvkai Group.
Though, according to the information provided by the system, his actions were flawless and couldn’t possibly be traced back to him, staying informed never hurt.
Whenever there was a chance to pick up a valuable antique or any other opportunity to make money, Lin Mo took his wife and daughter out for a bit. During a few instances involving agricultural products, Lin Mo shared the information with Li Lingling and Liu Miao, helping them make a good profit.
But they were generous, each time they made money, they sent 50% of the profits to Lin Mo.
Although Lin Mo repeatedly declined, he couldn’t outstubborn them.
In fact, their approach was smart, sustaining themselves meal by meal, and they played it very clear.
