Chapter 72: You Like Him
Lindsey slept poorly at night, lying in a daze until the latter part of the night, her heart was really hard to bear, so she simply got up and went to the yard to practice boxing.
When Adem came knocking on the door at dawn, Lindsey opened the door for him and saw that he was holding a fishing rod in his hand, pulled the corner of his lips and took it in silence.
When it’s autumn, it’s cold outside, and Lindsey picks up her jacket, which she left on a chair, and walks with him to the river.
When she was sad, she always liked to follow Adem to the river to fish in the middle of the night. If you have a big fish, you keep it, and if you have a small one, you put it back in the river. Sometimes she didn’t care if the fish ate the bait or not, she just sat by the river.
Grandfather left, she thought to do filial piety, but he did not give her the opportunity.
“Lindsey, if you’re sad, I’ll lend you my shoulder.” Adem followed her and asked in a low voice, “What are your plans for the future?”
“To go back to B City and fulfill grandpa’s last wish.” Lindsey sighed and lifted her lips bitterly. “I’m sorry I can’t stay here with you.”
“It’s okay, I’ll keep an eye on this side of home for you.” Adem smiled and fell silent.
Lindsey stopped talking and looked thoughtfully at the shadow of the two men; Bruce’s injury was still a healing process away, and she didn’t really want to go with him as she was afraid of more and more trouble if she went back.
But grandfather said, to read more, but also to find their own way to heal the people.
How to do, to do that step, she has no concept, nor any clue.
The wind was strong at the river, Lindsey let go of the pole swirled the hood of her jacket and put it on, slightly squinting her eyes to look at the wide river.
“Lindsey, do you like that kid?” Adem also let go of the pole and stood beside her, blocking the wind. “Are you going to marry him later?”
“What are you talking about.” Lindsey inclined her head to glance at him. “I’m a doctor, and he’s a patient to me, and one that will probably never recover.”
The Heard family’s three brothers could see that, or they wouldn’t have been so relieved to let Lindsey stay with him.
The Heard family’s three older brothers could also see this, otherwise they wouldn’t have been so relieved to have Lindsey stay with them. “His injury is a bit complicated, grandpa hasn’t encountered such a serious case, he’s not sure, let alone me.” Lindsey sighed quietly. “Don’t tell him about this, so he won’t be disappointed again.”
Adem gave a soft “hmm” and couldn’t help but feel sorry for Bruce, who was supposed to be the pride of the world, but now couldn’t even be a normal person.
The sky is getting lighter, Lindsey and Adem enter back to talk, the heart is not so uncomfortable, put away the fishing rod slowly back to walk.
When he arrived home, he saw Bruce controlling his wheelchair and paddling this way, looking at him with an unconscious layer of warmth in his eyes.
“I’ll go make you breakfast.” Adem also saw Bruce, raised his hand and patted Lindsey’s shoulder, then accelerated his pace, crossed past Bruce, and went straight into The Heard family old house door.
Lindsey did not stop him, walked to Bruce to stop, concern asked: “Why not more sleep, your body is still very weak, better pay more attention.”
“I’m worried about you.” Bruce raised his head and looked at her with uncertainty. “You like him?”
Lindsey frowned and nodded heavily. “Very much so. We grew up together, and made a date to come back together after college. If I hadn’t gone to L city, I might have gotten engaged.”
Bruce sniffed, his eyes instantly dulled, and reluctantly averted his gaze.
Lindsey’s attitude is still very firm, so it is because of Adem, he understands.
Lowering his head, Bruce stared woodenly at his still unconscious legs, the loss under his eyes becoming more and more obvious.
But he is not qualified to ask her personal matters, he knows better than anyone what Lindsey’s relationship with him is.
“Go back, your treatment can not stop, has been cured for so long, must not be abandoned before the work.” Lindsey saw that he did not say anything for half a day, the corners of her lips picked upwards for no reason.
Adem’s skills are very good, and in a few moments, breakfast was ready.
The more Bruce looked at Adem, the more uncomfortable he became, and the more sour he felt.
They grew up together for so many years, and he could never replace them in any way.
The most important thing is that Adem is more attentive and considerate than he is, and understands Lindsey better than he does. sometimes, he can’t coax her for half a day, but once Adem comes, the sadness on Lindsey’s face will immediately dissipate and reveal a light smile.
That kind of smile makes people look at can’t help but sadden, can’t help but heartache. But he can not do anything, he is an invalid, regardless of The Grant family are wealthy and powerful, high status, Lindsey needs care, he can only dry accompany.
On that day, Lindsey got up early and went to the mountain with Adem to visit her grandfather’s grave. She knelt in front of the grave for a long time, her eyes red as she burned paper for her grandfather, and juggled the good wine Bruce had brought with him around and around the grave.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Grandpa, I’m going back to B City with Bruce, I may not be able to come back to see you for a long time, you have to watch over me in heaven, I will fulfill your last wish.” Lindsey said, tears falling down again.
Adem also red-eyed, waited to finish burning the paper, set off a roll of firecrackers, and then silently accompanied her down the hill.
The flight back to B City was booked and the itinerary was set. Lindsey called her brothers one by one and told them not to worry about her.
She didn’t have much to take with her, so she packed her bags and asked Adem to go to the river. This time, it may not be possible to come back for a long time, the old house and the medical center need someone to clean it regularly, Adem is really the ideal person.
The river was a bit muddy after a rain, and the temperature was much lower than before. Lindsey stood at the riverside and looked at the wide river, sighing despondently: “I originally wanted to stay with my grandfather after graduation, but I never thought it would end up like this.”
“Don’t be too sad, Old Mr. Heard will be watching over you from heaven.” Adem patted her shoulder comfortingly, barely pulling back a smile. “Remember to call me before you come back later, and I’ll pick you up.”
Lindsey smiled and nodded heavily.
When she left for the province in the afternoon, Adem followed the car and drove her out of town.
The car had gone so far that Lindsey could look back and see him standing at the intersection, his slender, upright figure a blur.
“If you’re sad, just lean in my arms for a while.” Bruce held back his jealousy and advised her gently. “Old Mr. Heard must be very sad for you.”
Lindsey was stunned and leaned wearily into his arms.
Grandpa’s greatest wish was for him to be happy, so she couldn’t be sad and continue to be weak like this.
