Chapter 125 - 125 125 The Medicine (2)_1
?Chapter 125: Chapter 125 The Medicine (2)_1 Chapter 125: Chapter 125 The Medicine (2)_1 The door to the master bedroom on the second floor wasn’t closed. Nanny Lin stood at the door and saw Liang Chen, who had been doted on since childhood, kneeling by the bed. He was delicately holding Jing Haohao’s hand, gently applying medicine to her. Despite the woman being deep in sleep, unable to feel anything, his touch was very gentle, as if fearful that any careless movement might wake her or cause her any pain.
Surprise flashed in Nanny Lin’s eyes, and she stopped at the doorway.
She wasn’t sure if at this moment, Mr. Chen understood his own feelings, but she, an old woman who had been serving him for many years, could see clearly at a glance that he had genuinely fallen for Miss Jing.
It was sincere.
Otherwise, he would not have brought Miss Jing back to this villa.
He wouldn’t have visited her every night when Jing Haohao was unconscious from the car accident.
He certainly wouldn’t have been so angry when he saw her being treated unfairly at the “Golden Years”.
And he wouldn’t be like he is now, applying medicine to her with such careful focus.
Nanny Lin stood at the door for a long while before finally leaving without disturbing the person in the room — she quietly stepped back and turned away.
…
After Liang Chen carefully applied the medicine to Jing Haohao, fearing that she might accidentally smear the ointment on the bedding and affect its absorption, he patiently waited while half-kneeling at the bedside, holding her wrist. After almost twenty minutes, when almost all of the ointment was absorbed, he finally got up, pulled up the quilt to cover her and then quietly left the bedroom with the first-aid kit.
Liang Chen walked directly into the study at the end of the second-floor corridor with the first-aid kit. He pushed open the door, casually threw the kit onto a nearby table, quickly took out his phone, dialed a number and said, “Help me check, where did the money Shen Liangnian paid the bank this afternoon come from?”
Liang Chen didn’t hang up the phone, but just held it while standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the study, calmly waiting. He heard the answer he wanted from the other end of the line, “Mr. Liang, the money Mr. Shen used to repay the bank was directly withdrawn from his card. However, his incoming funds were from a check issued by someone named Qiao Wennuan. This Qiao Wennuan sold all of his properties and businesses in a staggered manner a while ago. The money Shen received must have come from this.”
Liang Chen listened to these words with a calm face, simply responding with a “Hmm” and saying “That’s all”, before hanging up.
Still maintaining the same stance, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, he could perfectly see the shimmering swimming pool downstairs through the window.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Wennuan had helped Shen Liangnian… He thought, now that Shen Liangnian had taken this money, he surely would never be able to sever ties with Qiao Wennuan…
In his heart, he had actually been hoping that Shen Liangnian and Jing Haohao would drift farther apart. However, for some reason, he now felt an extreme sense of injustice for the stubborn, yet resilient and soft woman.
