The doctor sighed when he saw her like that, quickly treated her wounds, and arranged for her to be hospitalized for a few days.
Lying on the hospital bed, Lin Xinlan felt pain all over her body, but what hurt more was her heart.
The accident with Du Ruoxin had dealt a big blow to her, and her heart was no less distressed than anyone else's…
During the days she was hospitalized, except for the nanny who came every day to bring her meals, no one else visited her.
Lin Xinlan had to rely on herself for everything.
When she bent over to use the toilet, her back hurt so much it was almost unbearable. At night when she wanted to turn over in bed, every move made her whole body ache.
Even in her dreams, she was often awakened by pain, enduring suffering beyond what most people could.
But she had clenched her teeth and gotten through it all without shedding a single tear.
She cooperated actively with the treatment and insisted on exercising her body every day.
The doctor admired her cheerful personality. He thought that if other people were in her situation, they probably would have given up on themselves long ago.
Lin Xinlan smiled faintly. She could not give up on herself; she had to live well. For there were some people more important to her than her own life.
For them, she was willing to endure everything.
A week had passed and the wounds on Lin Xinlan's body had nearly healed. The nanny told her that Rong Shaoze had ordered her to go through the discharge procedures and return home.
After packing her things, she left the hospital only to find that no one had come to pick her up.
No one in the Rong Family, from top to bottom, liked her; they all hated her. Not only had she injured their future Young Madam, but she also took her place.
Lin Xinlan didn't really wish to marry Rong Shaoze either, but she truly had no choice…
Back at the villa, the servants greeted her indifferently. She said nothing, went straight upstairs, and returned to her room.
She really wanted to call her child, but she held back. Better to wait a little longer before calling.
Calling too frequently, she feared she might not be able to hold herself back and would run home to visit him.
It was only at dinner time that Lin Xinlan went downstairs.
She ate alone. Rong Shaoze wasn't at home.
After dinner, Lin Xinlan sat in the living room watching TV when suddenly a white Mosay dog ran over and affectionately rubbed against her feet.
Seeing its endearing appearance, Lin Xinlan couldn't help but smile.
She picked up the puppy and laughed as she asked, "Where did you come from, little dog? How come I've never seen you before?"
The dog panted happily, barked joyfully at her, and wagged its tail ingratiatingly.
Lin Xinlan liked small animals. She held it in her arms, stroking its smooth fur, and the dog cozily nestled against her, occasionally making some noises.
Just then, Rong Shaoze walked into the living room. He immediately frowned when he saw Lin Xinlan holding the dog.
He took a few steps forward and called softly, "Xiaoxue, come here!"
The Mosay dog heard Rong Shaoze's voice and immediately jumped off Lin Xinlan, running cheerfully towards him.
It frolicked around him, and as Rong Shaoze squatted down and patted its head, the dog's jumps became even more spirited.
"Bring someone to take Xiaoxue down. How are you all looking after it, letting it run around like this?" he said coldly as he rose to his feet.
A servant hurried over, picked up Xiaoxue, and cautiously apologized, "I'm sorry, Young Master, I had just gone to the restroom for a moment and didn't watch Xiaoxue closely. It ran in here, but I will take it away now."
The servant left in a hurry, and a flicker of confusion crossed Lin Xinlan's eyes.
Why wouldn't he let the dog roam around?
Rong Shaoze walked over to her, paused, his handsome face slightly turned, and his eyes glanced at her faintly, "That's Ruoxin's dog. You should touch her things less in the future!"
