Chapter 98: Unwell
Shen Fanxing stayed at the welfare institute for the whole afternoon.
This was a place she would always visit whenever she had the time.
That was because this was the only place she could still find a shadow of her mother.
Shen Fanxing pressed her chest with her palm as she sat in the garden. Her aloof-looking eyes were filled with sadness.
She thought that she had froze all her feelings. But she hadn’t expected that her family would still have the ability to hurt her.
Why was her family so cold and callous?
Shen Fanxing smiled bitterly before taking a deep breath and stood up.
In the institute cafeteria…
Out of habit, Shen Fanxing gazed at a corner as what she had always done. A teacher sat with a boy, and she was coaxing him to eat.
“Linlin, you have to eat more every day so that Mommy will not feel sorry for you. She has always wanted to see you. The last time she heard that you didn’t eat well, she cried for a long time.”
At that moment, the thin and frail boy widened his mouth and forced a mouthful of rice into his mouth.
The child seemed to be about three years old. Even though he was still a child, one could tell that he would be handsome in the future.
His large eyes were clear and bright, but the occasional blinking movement of his eyes was sluggish.
A good-looking boy like him couldn’t see anything with his eyes.
According to the director of the institute, this child was given birth by a woman in prison…
Shen Fanxing spent the afternoon playing with the children. The weather in spring was perfect, and children loved to play with water outdoors.
A child pretended that he needed to wash his hands after playing with sand. He then sneakily played with the water pipes in the backyard.
Shen Fanxing was watering the plants in the yard with a few little girls. Unexpectedly, the water from the pipes were directed at them.
She was standing beside them and instinctively, she pulled the children into her arms.
Water splashed on her, and it left her drenched from top to bottom.
Even though it was spring, being drenched in cold water was still unbearable.
She had just been discharged a few days ago. After catching a cold, her head began to feel heavy and dizzy in the afternoon.
…
It was already evening when she reached Grand View Manor.
“Ms Shen, you’re back?” asked Aunt Zhang as soon as she reached the door.
“Yeah.”
Although Shen Fanxing had dried herself at the institute, the shrewd Aunt Zhang could tell that something was wrong from a glance.
Especially her nasal voice, which had given her away despite her one word response.
Shen Fanxing was clearly in high spirits when she left the house this morning. A day had barely passed and she ended up in such a battered state.
Aunt Zhang heard that she had gone back home.
What did her family do to her? A perfectly fine person had ended up looking so unwell!
“Are we having dinner at the same time as yesterday?” Her nasal voice was even more obvious.
“Yes, but it could be delayed. Why don’t you eat first, Ms Shen?”
Shen Fanxing shook her head and said, “It’s fine. I’ll eat with him when he’s back.”
She strode to the sofa and sat down.
…
Bo Jinchuan decided to attend the gathering after work.
His personal phone rang when he was about to leave.
“Hello, is this Master?” asked Aunt Zhang.
“What’s the matter? Is she back?” Bo Jinchuan’s concern was evident in his voice, despite his casual tone.
“She’s back home. But… why is Ms Shen in such a state after a trip home… She doesn’t look too well…”
Bo Jinchuan frowned slightly.
“I got it.”
“And Ms Shen is waiting for you to have dinner.”
“Okay, I’ll be right back.”
Bo Jinchuan hung up the phone and called the chauffeur who had sent Shen Fanxing home today.
“What happened to Shen Fanxing today?”
The chauffeur paused before saying, “I’m not sure what happened, but I saw President Su going to the Shen family. And he seems rather intimate with Ms Shen’s sister…”
The light in Bo Jinchuan’s eyes dimmed…
