Waiting at the bus stop, Xiaolu rummaged through her bag and found only a few penny. Living a luxuxy life in the Lin family, she hadn't needed to spend her own money. Now, with only this little money left, who would believe that someone like her, dressed in Givenchy from head to toe, could only take the bus?
Fortunately, Xiaolu's agility hadn't completely decayed from the extravagant life of the wealthy. Squeezing onto the bus, she moved with ease. Among the crowd, she skillfully maneuvered, seizing a seat ahead of others.
Yes! Success!
Just as Xiaolu was reveling in her triumph, she overheard two middle-aged women next to her gossiping in hushed tones.
"Look at this woman, so ridiculous, wearing all these fake brand clothes. Her vanity is too strong, isn't it?"
"Yeah, but I think her Givenchy looks like the real deal. I saw that style in a fashion magazine a few days ago."
"Tsk, if you're wearing a Givenchy worth thousands, would you take the bus here?"
"Of course not, at least call a taxi."
"Exactly, despise those who want to save face and suffer."
Then, the two burst into laughter.
"Damn, do you think I want to be trapped in these designer clothes?" However, this was just Xiaolu's inner cry. She couldn't go around telling everyone that she ended up in a wealthy family because of a car accident, right? Every woman on this bus would probably wish the driver crashed soon. Superstitious talk.
Fortunately, they soon reached St. Anne's Hospital. Xiaolu quickly got off the bus, not wanting to attract too much attention.
"Mrs. Lin, you're here." The nurse on duty greeted her warmly.
OMG, this title... so awkward. "Yes, Nurse, is Mr. Lin... I mean, my husband, doing better?"
"To be honest, not much improvement. There's still no sign of him waking up. If the coma lasts too long, it might become even more difficult for him to wake up. If you have time, it would be good to talk to him more. You two are deeply in love; it might help Mr. Lin wake up."
"Uh, yes, that's right. I'll go to his ward and keep him company for a while."
"Sure, Mrs. Lin, if you need anything, just ring the bell."
"Okay, thank you, Nurse."
Tianchen lay quietly on the bed; most of the bandages on his body had been removed, and his external injuries had mostly healed.
Xiaolu used a warm towel to wipe Tianchen's hands and face. She also massaged his limbs for a while. It must be tough lying like this for so long. Fortunately, she had worked as a caregiver before, and now she could take care of Tianchen. After all, he had saved her life; if it weren't for his embrace, she might be the one lying here now.
"Tianchen, please wake up soon. Your family is very concerned about you. And you're so young and kind; it's a waste to lie here forever. You should wake up soon." Xiaolu muttered to Tianchen while massaging him.
"No, you better not wake up too soon. If you wake up, my identity will be exposed. So, it's better for you to lie down a bit longer. Wait until I save enough money to repay my father's debt, and then you can wake up. Anyway, you've helped me so much; I, Fang Xiaolu, will do anything to repay you in the rest of my life. Please, please." Xiaolu said whatever came to her mind, while giving Tianchen a comfortable full-body massage.
"Alright, kind-hearted guy, I'm leaving. I'll come to see you often." Xiaolu glanced at Tianchen's attractive face, lightly patted it, admiring you, so gentlemanly. How could you have such a rascally little brother?
After leaving the hospital, it was already past 6 pm. Looking at the time, it was probably dinner time at the Lin's house. However, Lin Yuanxiang had mentioned that he had a business meeting tonight and wouldn't be back for dinner. If she went back, she would have to face that damn Second Young Master. It was better to skip it; even though she didn't have much money, eating some street food would be enough. The oppressive and tense dining atmosphere at the Lin mansion couldn't compare to the relaxed environment of a street stall.
Xiaolu made up her mind and decided to walk back, enjoying some good snacks along the way.
