When she was young, Lin Nuan's health wasn't too good. Every time the seasons changed, she would catch a cold, cough, and fever. On the other hand, even when Lin Chen caught a cold, he didn't take much medicine and kept forgetting about it.
In Liang Mulan's words, every time Lin Chen fell sick, his immune system would improve, so the number of times Lin Chen fell sick decreased.
From the hospital to the cafe, Lin Nuan and Lin Chen didn't speak. You Nainai, who was by Lin Nuan's side, wasn't close to Lin Chen. She was also a taciturn person, so she didn't speak much.
When they passed by Lin Chen's car in the parking lot, Lin Chen opened the car door and threw the medical records into the front passenger seat before taking Lin Nuan to the cafe.
In the cafe, You Nainai sat not far away from Lin Nuan and Lin Chen. Lin Chen ordered a cup of hot cocoa for Lin Nuan and You Nainai. He had originally ordered black coffee for himself, but when he recalled Doctor Zhou's instructions, he asked the waiter to change it to lemon water.
Lin Nuan looked at the hot cocoa in front of her, silently waiting for Lin Chen to speak …
Lin Chen's fingers rubbed against the rim of the glass as he quietly looked at Lin Nuan, who had her long and thick eyelashes lowered. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he retracted his gaze and took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket. His mature and reserved voice had an irresistible might to it. "Don't tell Mom about this!"
Seeing Lin Chen shake out a cigarette from the pack, but he didn't manage to do so after a long time, her brows furrowed even tighter. She rubbed the pack of cigarettes and tossed it into the white ashtray on the coffee table and put down the lighter. Lin Nuan didn't tell Lin Chen to smoke less.
"Brother, what illness are you suffering from?" Lin Nuan still asked.
Based on Lin Nuan's understanding of Lin Chen, if it wasn't a tricky illness, Lin Chen wouldn't have gone behind his family's back and secretly come to Jinjiang to look for an old classmate.
Moreover, when Zhou Yiheng opened the door, he said something about it being benign or malignant. Lin Nuan's heart was in her throat. Lin Chen didn't say anything, so Lin Nuan made wild guesses. Her guesses were all so terrifying that it made her teeth chatter. She felt tormented.
Lin Chen, who had picked up the cup of warm lemon water, heard Lin Nuan's words and put the cup back. He couldn't lie to Lin Nuan by saying it wasn't a serious illness. Lin Chen knew it!
He stared at Lin Nuan's fair and pretty face and said, "Tumor."
Lin Nuan's heart skipped a beat. Even though she had thought of this outcome, hearing it so casually from Lin Chen's mouth, Lin Nuan still found it particularly frightening. Her heart felt like it was being clenched by a large hand.
In the past, Lin Nuan had thought that such things were very far away from her, but when it really happened to her family, Lin Nuan still couldn't control her emotions. Her shoulders trembled, and her eyes were wet.
What Lin Chen was most afraid of was seeing Lin Nuan's reddened eyes. He frowned. "It's not a big deal. Medical science is so advanced now. We can just cut it off!"
Seeing Lin Nuan lower her head and frown, her nose turning red in silence, Lin Chen pursed his lips, feeling frustrated and helpless. He lowered his voice and said, "I'm fine!"
"Which location?" Lin Nuan asked.
"Heart …" Lin Chen didn't hide it from Lin Nuan. "Generally speaking, this is a benign tumor!"
Lin Nuan sucked in a breath. Heart … heart that was pumping blood every day!
Lin Nuan couldn't hold back her tears. She turned her head and secretly wiped them away with the back of her hand. Her voice still sounded like she was about to cry, and there was a hint of anxiety in her voice. "The most famous and authoritative cardiopulmonary doctor in the country is Dr. Guan Yanfei from Jincheng! You should look for her for treatment! "
"I've seen the scans. The surgery isn't difficult, so there's no need to go to Jincheng …" Lin Chen replied very calmly. Looking at Lin Nuan's teary expression, he couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart. "I studied medicine, so I'm very clear about this."
Hearing Lin Chen's reply, Lin Nuan couldn't control her emotions. "You're clear about this. Don't tell me you can also perform surgery on yourself? You're the pillar of support in the family now, do you know that? If something were to happen to you, how are Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma going to live? Brother, can you not be so arbitrary in this matter? "
Lin Nuan clearly knew that Lin Chen was trying to comfort her, but she still couldn't help but start arguing with him.
Lin Nuan had never raised her voice in front of Lin Chen before!
He was clearly sick, yet he didn't tell his family and didn't care about her. To put it bluntly, if something were to happen to him, what would happen to his family? Especially Liang Mulan, who blamed herself so much that she couldn't carry on living. She regretted not discovering Lin Chen's illness earlier!
Lin Nuan didn't dare to imagine what would happen later. She was clearly holding the hot cocoa mug in her hand, but the warmth couldn't reach her palm. Even her fingertips were cold.
"Brother, you have to tell Dad and Mom!" Lin Nuan's expression was firm. "You can't hide it from your family so that they won't worry. The more you hide it from them, the more worried they'll be if they find out. Putting aside Dad and Mom, Grandpa and Grandma are getting on in years, especially Grandma. Her health hasn't been good these years. Last July, she was sent to the hospital because of a heart attack …"
"It's precisely because of this that I can't tell them!" Lin Chen's emotions were much calmer than Lin Nuan's.
Lin Nuan felt a lump in her throat, and her tears fell like pearls from a broken necklace.
Lin Chen took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Lin Nuan. She didn't reach out to take it. "I'll accompany you to Jincheng! We'll go look for Dr. Guan Yanfei. I can ask a friend for help! "
Lin Nuan had always been one to do whatever she could on her own. She would never cause any trouble for others!
But this time, this matter concerned Lin Chen. Even if Lin Nuan had to humble herself and beg others, she would be willing.
Even though she wasn't related to Lin Chen by blood, she had grown up in the Lin family. To her, Lin Chen was like her biological brother! Even after her parentage was exposed and Lin Nuan left the Lin family, such a relationship hadn't been severed.
So when something happened to Lin Chen, Lin Nuan couldn't stay out of it!
Looking at the concerned and determined gaze in Lin Nuan's reddened eyes, Lin Chen placed the handkerchief next to Lin Nuan's hot cocoa mug. His Adam's apple vibrated slightly. "I'm already an adult. Can't I go see a doctor myself?"
"I'll accompany you, or I'll tell Mom! You choose! "Lin Nuan's attitude was unyielding.
Lin Chen held back the emotions that were churning in his heart like boiling water. The strong emotions he had been restraining were about to break out of his cocoon. His fingers paused on the rim of the mug, and he asked Lin Nuan slowly, "Who are you to accompany me to see a doctor? Sister? "
The stunned Lin Nuan subconsciously nodded in response to Lin Chen's words.
He picked up the mug and drank a mouthful of lemon water. He put down the mug and said, "I don't lack a sister. Speaking of a sister, I have one at home. Lin Nuan, you're smarter than girls your age. You should be able to tell that I don't just treat you as a sister. I treat you as a woman, a woman worthy of my affection. Don't say that you can't tell or don't know. You know, but you're playing dumb! So don't try to deepen this affection, if you're smart enough and love Fu Huai 'an enough. "
