CHAPTER 221: CHAPTER 221: THE WOMAN FROM THE ORGANIZATION CARING FOR OTHERS (BONUS CHAPTER)

Lin Xiang couldn’t see what the person on the hospital bed looked like; she could only see a short-haired woman in a military green top sitting by the bedside.

"Why are you still hesitating? Let’s just go in!"

Mrs. Lin pushed the door open directly and shouted to the person on the bed, "Lin Yun, I’m here with Niuzi to see you!"

Mrs. Lin’s voice was loud enough, and coupled with the fact that the people in the ward were unprepared, this startled the woman.

She turned around and said sternly to Mrs. Lin, "Comrade, this is a hospital ward, please do not yell."

Mrs. Lin completely ignored her, put the bag she was carrying on the wall, and walked straight to the hospital bed. She saw Lin Yun still had his eyes closed and directly reached out to flick his eyelids, "It’s been several days, still unconscious? Is the situation really serious? Is the chief deceiving us?"

"Cough cough..."

As soon as Mrs. Lin finished speaking, the person on the hospital bed started coughing violently.

"Comrade Lin Yun!" The woman tried to approach the bed, but Mrs. Lin squeezed her away.

The woman was more serious, "Comrade, this is a hospital, please don’t mess around."

Mrs. Lin glanced at her, "Are you a doctor?"

"No, I..."

"If you’re not a doctor, why are you bossing around here? Don’t I know how to care for my own son?"

"I am assigned by the organization to care for Comrade Lin Yun. I have the right..."

"Why didn’t the organization assign a male comrade to take care of Lin Yun?" Mrs. Lin looked the woman up and down, her eyes almost overflowing with disdain, "So thin like a stick, can you take care of Lin Yun? Moreover, the principle that men and women should keep a distance, you city people should understand it better than me, an old woman from the countryside, right?"

Mrs. Lin muttered, "I don’t know what the chief is thinking, not finding a male comrade to take care of him, but insisting on assigning a female comrade. If rumors spread, wouldn’t Lin Yun have to be responsible for you?"

Mrs. Lin’s voice was neither loud nor quiet, but loud enough for everyone in the ward to hear.

The woman was so angry at Mrs. Lin’s words that her face turned red, but considering Lin Yun’s current identity, she couldn’t vent her anger. She walked away in frustration.

Once she left, the air in the ward became much fresher.

Physically fresher.

Mrs. Lin glared at Lin Xiang, "Why aren’t you opening the window to let some air in? Those caring for patients should have the mindfulness of caring, why put on perfume? This scent is too overpowering!"

Lin Xiang suppressed her amusement and went to open both windows.

By this time, Lin Yun had already woken up.

In his semi-conscious state just now, he vaguely heard Mrs. Lin’s voice, but deep down, he knew Mrs. Lin would never appear in a hospital in Beijing.

Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, he actually saw Mrs. Lin and Lin Xiang. At that moment, Lin Yun felt his chest filled with satisfaction.

"Mom, Niuzi, how did you come here?"

"The chief called us and said you were injured and still unconscious. Right now, you need family companionship the most, so Niuzi and I rushed over."

Mrs. Lin looked disdainfully, "Tell me, how long have you been enlisted? How did you get injured?"

"Where’s the injury? Let me see."

Lin Yun had a faint smile at the corner of his lips and revealed his wound, "It’s actually already healed, not serious, Mom, you didn’t need to make a special trip for this. Riding the train exhausts you, hasn’t had lunch yet, right? Shall I accompany you to the cafeteria for some food?"

Mrs. Lin blinked at him, then asked Lin Xiang, "Did your brother always talk this much before?"

Lin Xiang smiled and shook her head.

Lin Yun was not very talkative before because he knew Mrs. Lin didn’t like him.

But ever since Lin Xiang entered the story, she had been silently influencing Mrs. Lin. Though Mrs. Lin’s feelings for Lin Yun weren’t as deep as those for Lin Xiang, subconsciously, she had started treating him as her own son.

This naturally emanating maternal love was something Lin Yun had always longed for over the years.

Having met his family, his emotions relaxed, making him talk incessantly.

"We have already eaten on the train, so we’re not hungry right now. Brother, you don’t have to worry about us."

Lin Yun nodded and pointed to the bedside cabinet, "My clothes are in there, and so is my money, kept in the pockets. When you leave later, make sure to take the money. I’m not allowed to leave the hospital before I recover, so I can’t accompany you."

"Accompany for what? With Niuzi here, it’s not like we’ll get lost. You just focus on recovering."

Mrs. Lin leaned in closely to Lin Yun and asked softly, "I heard from Niuzi that when the chief called, he said you were bullied on that side? What happened there? What did they do?"

Lin Xiang’s face slightly changed, "Mom! My brother just woke up, please don’t discuss this now!"

Lin Yun is a person, his heart isn’t made of steel. If Mrs. Lin asks him so candidly, it might hurt Lin Yun’s feelings further.

Lin Yun smiled, "It’s okay, it’s not something that can’t be discussed."

"Before this mission, I was forcibly called back home by him, as an effort to mend my relationship with the family. I didn’t want to return, but due to certain reasons, I had to go back. Once I got there, they united against me. But I didn’t really consider them as family, so I didn’t mind. However..."

Recalling what happened that day, Lin Yun’s eyes filled with tears, and his hands, originally holding the quilt, clenched into fists with popping veins on the back, putting the whole person in a state of rage yet feeling aggrieved.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lin slapped Lin Yun’s hand, "Why are you gripping your hands so tight? Forgot your arm is still injured?"

Mrs. Lin’s slap made Lin Yun completely break down, "Mom, Niuzi, you don’t need to worry about me, I can handle it."

"If you could truly handle it, your uncle wouldn’t have specifically called."

As she was speaking, the hospital door was pushed open again, this time it was Lin Yun’s uncle, Cheng Jianping.

"Comrade Zhao Xiuli, Lin Xiang, you’re here."

Mrs. Lin and Lin Xiang also greeted the chief voluntarily.

Cheng Jianping waved his hand, "Are you settled in yet? If you haven’t got a guest house yet, give me the introduction letter, I’ll have a guard arrange it. You can take a rest first."

"There’s no need for the trouble." Mrs. Lin said, somewhat reserved, "We’ll have Niuzi arrange the guest house after leaving the hospital, it’s not necessary to trouble the chief."

The family isn’t short on money now, and Mrs. Lin didn’t want to take advantage, lest it put Lin Yun in a difficult position.

Cheng Jianping didn’t insist and said to Mrs. Lin, "Lin Yun has consistently performed well in the army. Ever since he enlisted, after the rookie training period, he started going on missions."
