Lin Chen knew that some words wouldn't leave any leeway for each other, so he kept them to himself.
Perhaps it was because he was affected by the illness, or perhaps he wanted to push Lin Nuan away, but Lin Chen couldn't hold back his impulse.
It was so quiet that he could hear the wind howling outside …
"Do you think I'll turn around and leave just because you said that?"
After a moment of silence, Lin Nuan asked Lin Chen, becoming even more agitated!
"We grew up together! Do you think I don't know that you're deliberately forcing me because you don't want me to interfere in this matter? " Lin Nuan took out her phone and dialed Lin Ran's number. "Brother, do you really think I don't dare to tell my family?"
Lin Chen saw Lin Nuan dial the number and frowned. He reached out to snatch the phone from Lin Nuan's hand, then hung up and casually tossed it onto the coffee table. The phone made a crisp sound as it collided with the coffee table, then slid down the smooth surface and fell to the ground.
"I can't scare you away, can I? How capable are you now? "Lin Chen's frown deepened, but his tone was calm.
Lin Nuan's eyes reddened, and she didn't say a word as she bent over to pick up the phone. She sat up straight and gazed at Lin Chen. "You're my brother! You'll always be my brother! It's fine if you let me interfere! It's fine if you don't want me to interfere, but I'll do it anyway! "
"What are you going to do about it?!" Lin Chen felt helpless and even angrier.
"If I can't, I'll let Dad do it! Let Lin Ran do it! I'm not your biological sister, but Lin Ran should be! If Lin Ran and Dad can't, I'll tell Grandpa! There must be someone who can control you! "
Lin Nuan wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and her choked voice softened. "Back then, my biological father got cancer and jumped off a building without saying a word. Then, I lost my father! I regret that I didn't do anything! I keep thinking that if I had gone to look for him earlier and brought him to the doctor, there might still have been a chance for us to salvage the situation! "
She looked at Lin Chen with her reddened eyes. "Brother, we grew up together. Even though I knew I wasn't the Lin family's daughter and tried my best to say that we weren't family, in my heart, in my feelings! Our sibling relationship with you is much deeper than that biological father of mine whom I've never spoken to! Ever since I was young, you have always protected me, coaxed me, and doted on me! I'm most proud of having such an outstanding, brave, and gentle brother like you! If I knew that something had happened to you and didn't do anything about it, I would hate myself to death! "
Lin Chen averted his eyes and looked out the window, his eyes red and moist.
Lin Nuan's words were like little hooks, drawing out the memories that had been sealed in his heart for a long time.
When she was young, Lin Nuan was chubby and fair, and her eyes were extraordinarily big and watery!
The little one wore a pink dress and always liked to follow behind her, calling out to her brother. Every time Lin Nuan came back from school, she would see Lin Nuan standing at the door waiting for him!
It was summer when Lin Nuan first learned to walk. Every time she came back from school, the little one would run towards the car before it even stopped. The moment Lin Chen got out of the car, she would hug Lin Nuan's head and look up at him with her arms raised high, asking for hugs. Her dark and bright eyes would look at him with sparkling eyes, as if he was the little one Lin Nuan loved the most!
Later, when Lin Nuan grew a little older, it was snowing in winter and cold outside. The little one would wear a red cotton coat, with two pigtails on his head, white earmuffs, and gloves. He would hold a hot roasted sweet potato in his hands, and the moment he saw the car that picked him up from school, he would run over, tiptoe, and raise the roasted sweet potato to Lin Chen as if presenting a treasure. She would say in a cute voice that Grandpa had secretly bought it for her and that she wanted to eat it with Brother. She couldn't let Mama find out, as Mama would think it was dirty!
Childhood memories came flooding back. Lin Chen couldn't remember what he had done for Lin Nuan, but he remembered clearly what Lin Nuan had done for him!
Lin Chen's throat vibrated a few times, and he took out his wallet from his coat pocket. He took out three hundred-dollar bills and placed them on the coffee table. He closed the wallet and put it in his pocket, then stood up and said with a frown, "Up to you!"
Seeing Lin Chen leave, Lin Nuan also stood up and looked at his back view, feeling especially upset.
You Nainai saw that Lin Nuan's eyes were red, and she had also heard the argument between Lin Nuan and Lin Chen. She looked at Lin Nuan worriedly and moved her lips, but she didn't say anything.
Lin Nuan frowned and calmed her emotions with much difficulty. She said to You Nainai, "Let's go!"
Lin Nuan called Fu Huai 'an and told him that she was on her period and that she had to return to Haicheng first. Fu Huai' an told Lin Nuan to go back and rest well, but he didn't force her to wait for him.
On the way back to Haicheng, Lin Nuan used her phone to look up information on heart tumors. Sitting in the front passenger seat and looking at her phone screen for a long time, Lin Nuan inevitably felt nauseous.
She locked her phone screen and thought back to what she had just found.
The encyclopedia on the search engine said that heart tumors, regardless of whether they were benign or malignant, were relatively rare. Primary tumors were even rarer. Benign tumors accounted for 34% of heart tumors, but malignant tumors also accounted for 14%. Lin Nuan was really afraid that Lin Chen was that 14%!
It was fine if it was a benign tumor, but she was afraid that it was malignant!
Lin Nuan leaned against the front passenger seat and returned home in a daze. She went back to her room and leaned against the French windows. She contacted Xie Jingqian and asked her if she knew Professor Guan Yanfei from Jincheng's Furen Hospital.
Xie Jingqian said that Professor Guan Yanfei was the teacher of her sister-in-law, Su Nian. Professor Guan had once said that her sister-in-law had a very good potential in the cardiology department and wanted to groom her. Her sister-in-law was very close to Professor Guan, so she was curious why Lin Nuan was asking about this. Was a friend sick?
Lin Nuan said to Xie Jingqian, "It's my brother. He has a tumor in his heart, and Professor Guan's consultation is notoriously difficult to get. I heard that he can't even get a consultation at Furen Hospital for a month or two, so I …"
"I understand what you mean! Don't worry, leave this matter to me. My sister-in-law is very easy to talk to! I'll go ask my sister-in-law for help! " Xie Jingqian understood what Lin Nuan meant and agreed before Lin Nuan could finish speaking. "I'll call my sister-in-law now. I'll call you back when there's a result!"
"Thank you!" Lin Nuan thanked her as she gripped the curtains on the right side of the French windows.
"You're treating me like an outsider by thanking me. Wait for my news!"
After hanging up the call, Lin Nuan received a WeChat message from Fu Huai 'an, asking if she had reached home safely. Lin Nuan sniffled and replied.
Less than ten minutes later, Lin Nuan didn't receive a call from Xie Jingqian. Instead, a servant knocked on the door and brought her a bowl of ginger brown sugar water. She said that Fu Huai 'an had called and instructed her to make it for Lin Nuan.
After drinking the spicy and sweet brown sugar water, Lin Nuan broke out in a sweat and calmed down a lot.
