CHAPTER 227: CHAPTER 216: CAN’T HOLD ON TO

Lin Zhenxin unexpectedly received a call from Tu Haohao two days later.

The previous day, she had just submitted her resignation letter, but even so, she had to stay until the end of the week and couldn’t leave immediately.

Due to a major safety accident at the Li Family’s construction site, all sites in the entire J City had been ordered to halt work for internal inspections and rectifications.

Everyone was grumbling about it, except the Li Family, which fell silent after a working group was sent in the following day.

After the market opened the next day, everyone expected the Li Family’s stock to plummet to rock bottom, but unexpectedly, it managed to barely hold the baseline.

Anyone with eyes could see that someone had stepped in to help the Li Family.

Regarding business matters, if it wasn’t related to Li Yanan, Lin Zhenxin didn’t really care.

During her lunch break, Lin Zhenxin met with Tu Haohao.

As soon as she saw her, Lin Zhenxin noticed that Tu Haohao was thinner than before.

She had lost a considerable amount of weight, her beige coat hanging loosely on her.

Her long hair had been cut to shoulder-length, looking neat and fresh, but something was still missing.

"Sister Zhenxin, can you... come with me to the hospital?"

Tu Haohao hesitated for a moment but still said it. Hearing this, Lin Zhenxin couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart...

Since her kidney transplant, Tu Haohao had been very mindful of her health.

But in recent days, she clearly felt something was wrong with her.

She initially thought it was just exhaustion, but after fainting this morning, she was truly scared.

She didn’t have many friends in J City, and she didn’t want to worry Tu Wanzi, so after much thought, she could only turn to Lin Zhenxin.

At the hospital, Lin Zhenxin first accompanied her to the nephrology department.

After a series of tests, Tu Haohao returned to the department with her test results but came out after just a few minutes with a strange expression on her face.

"What’s wrong?" Lin Zhenxin asked, noticing her expression.

"The doctor suggested I see the obstetrics and gynecology department!"

As soon as Tu Haohao said this, Lin Zhenxin couldn’t help but show a look of surprise...

One hour later.

Tu Haohao sat pale-faced next to Lin Zhenxin in the hospital corridor.

She still held the test results in her hand.

She finally understood why the nephrology doctor had suggested she see the obstetrics and gynecology department.

Because she was pregnant!

Tu Haohao didn’t speak, and Lin Zhenxin remained silent as well. Even without asking, she could guess whose child it was.

"What do you plan to do?" After a long silence, Lin Zhenxin broke the ice.

"This child can’t be kept." Tu Haohao lowered her head, gently smoothing out the creases on the test results.

This child indeed couldn’t be kept.

Not to mention how much medication Tu Haohao’s body had been subjected to during her surgery, even after a successful operation, she was still on continuous medication.

"The doctor said that even if the child is born, there’s a possibility of deformity."

As she spoke, tears started to fall.

It was a heartbreaking sadness.

But what saddened her even more was her own messy feelings.

Lin Zhenxin chose to stay silent, as she was also a pregnant woman. Imagining herself in that situation, the pain was hard to express in words.

"Sister Zhenxin, thank you for coming with me today!"

After who knows how long, Tu Haohao weakly stood up, seeming to have calmed down.

"You’re still young..."

Lin Zhenxin wanted to console her, but beyond those four words, she couldn’t find anything else to say.

The most painful thing in the world is to have something and then lose it.

"Yes, I’m still young..." Tu Haohao smiled faintly, but it seemed like her spirit was lost...

At the hospital entrance, Lin Zhenxin watched Tu Haohao leave in a taxi.

She suddenly felt a sense of emotion.

She had once hated Tu Haohao, and had also envied her.

Hated that Tu Wanzi had seduced her father and given birth to Tu Haohao, hated that Tu Haohao could live carefree and naive.

But she also envied Tu Haohao’s innocence.

Because only a girl who is well-protected can be like that.

Being well-protected, having the love of family—once upon a time, that was a dream beyond Lin Zhenxin’s reach!

Now, she had Li Yanan, had a child, had a happy family.

It was only at this moment that she began to understand.

The envy, the hatred, was because she lived too exhaustedly, too unhappily.

Resentment, like an unrestrained vine growing wildly, enwrapped her already scarred heart even tighter.

Lin Zhenxin sighed.

Seeing Tu Haohao like this made her heart ache too.

Just as she was thinking, a black Bentley slowly pulled up beside her.

The window rolled down, revealing He Bainian’s face...

Lin Zhenxin met his gaze, and it seemed he was just discharged from the hospital.
