Chapter 403: Chapter 402: Is Your Mother Called Luo Xinyan?

Lu Pengcheng had lived more than half his life, imagining countless times that perhaps he could encounter his beloved woman Luo Xinyan again at some particular place, at some moment!

Life was like a dream, already more than half over, yet that meeting had never been realized.

Before coming to Spring City this time, he also thought to himself, if he could see her just one more time in his lifetime, then he would die with no regrets!

Unexpectedly, he met someone who looked so much like her so quickly in the hospital.

Yes!

He realized that the girl coming toward him was not Luo Xinyan! But someone who looked very much like her!

Nurse Luo looked surprised at the eager, complex gaze with which the other was regarding her and, out of politeness, averted her eyes.

Just as she was about to brush past him, he finally spoke up, "Miss! Please wait a moment!"

If someone knew Lu Pengcheng well, they would definitely sense the nervousness and tremor in his voice.

Nurse Luo felt that this middle-aged man with a scholarly demeanor, from the moment he saw her, had a very peculiar expression, with a look of excitement mixed with the indescribable.

Looking at the clothes he wore and his demeanor, she guessed that he might be some sort of leader.

She politely asked, "Do you need something?"

Lu Pengcheng scrutinized the young woman’s face carefully, his heart harboring a faint guess, not daring to believe yet...

He restrained the various emotions surging in his heart and asked, "Miss! Forgive my boldness, but what is your last name?"

He felt that the girl’s appearance and temperament were so much like hers; they must be closely related, and also...

His palms were sweating, and in his heart, an answer was shouting to be released.

Back then, could it be...

Nurse Luo felt like laughing, what was going on today? One after another, everyone was asking her last name! Just now, an old lady also asked her what she was called!

But thinking about it, some people did ask her the same question usually, so she replied with a smile and openness, "My last name is Luo!"

Last name Luo!

Lu Pengcheng was deeply shocked, he couldn’t care about anything else at this moment, he urgently asked, "Is your mother’s name Luo Xinyan?"

He anxiously awaited her response, already mentally prepared for the possibility that she might have changed her name.

"How do you know?" Nurse Luo was extremely surprised, "Do you know my mom?"

Lu Pengcheng’s usually calm face cracked with emotion, and in his urgency, there were too many questions he wanted to ask.

Back in those days, to find someone in the vast sea of people was no easy task.

Even though he received some news that she might be in Spring City, after searching and searching, he never found Luo Xinyan or her mother.

What he feared the most was that Luo Xinyan no longer existed in this world!

He never dared to think in that direction.

His most beloved, how could she have passed away so early in her beautiful years before having the chance to see him again?

So, he asked very cautiously, "Yes! How is she now?"

Nurse Luo now sensed that the handsome middle-aged man before her might have a rather unusual relation to her mother.

She didn’t know why, but seeing him, she felt a strange sense of familiarity.

"She’s quite well! How do you know my mom?"

Lu Pengcheng couldn’t answer her directly now, some things were still just guesses, not yet fully certain.

"We knew each other when we were young!" he pleaded, "Miss! Can you take me to see her right away?"

He hated that he couldn’t see her right at this moment!

His feelings were too urgent; he couldn’t wait even a minute longer.

He was very afraid of missing out due to some accident.

He was even more afraid that after the girl went back and talked to Luo Xinyan, she would hide again and never see him!

Because of a misunderstanding, they had separated years ago, and he couldn’t stand by and miss the opportunity again.

Although such a possibility was very slim, he dared not gamble on it!

"But I’m at work!"

Nurse Luo hesitated a bit, as this was her first time meeting him and she didn’t understand the specific relationship between her mother and this man.

Bringing someone home rashly, she also feared her mother would be unhappy, or it might lead to something bad.

"Could you please take some time off? I haven’t seen your mother for so many years!!" Lu Pengcheng had to tell a small lie to see her, "I might have to leave here soon!"

Nurse Luo saw his urgency and the deep plea in his eyes, and eventually, her heart softened as she checked the time, "Alright then! I’ll ask for some time off!"

She was actually very curious about the exact relationship between this man and her mother.

Lu Pengcheng suppressed his immensely excited heart, could he really see her again?

In the hospital room, Fang Youlan who was on IV drip had made up her mind that she would discharge herself as soon as Lu Pengcheng returned.

No matter whether the young girl was related to their family or not, it was no longer possible to stay here!

But waiting for Lu Pengcheng to return to the hospital room was taking forever, and she was growing impatient.

She felt increasingly anxious, hoping that the boss hadn’t met Nurse Luo.

She guessed that possibility at a glance; if Pengcheng had met her, wouldn’t that be...

What should she do now!

"Meirou! Didn’t Pengcheng say he was going to find a hotel with Lin Xia? Why hasn’t he come back yet?"

Shao Meirou was also a bit anxious, fearing that Lu Pengcheng would spend too much time with Lin Xia.

What if Lu Pengcheng grew to appreciate Lin Xia even more?

"Yes! Maybe something delayed him!"

Shao Meirou spoke softly, trying to calm her mother, "Mom! Don’t worry! Even if Pengcheng comes back, he wouldn’t agree to you discharging so hastily!

You are getting on in years after all, it’s better to stay a few more days for observation!"

Fang Youlan was frantic, how could she continue to stay here with peace of mind?

But right now, with the IV drip in her hand, she could not leave too abruptly.

Otherwise, even Shao Meirou, no matter how foolish, would start to suspect something.

"Meirou! Actually, I’m fine! All this was just a pretense to deal with Lin Xia!

I know my own body, and I’m in good health! Look, Pengcheng is also very busy with work, and Father Shao needs someone to look after him, so it’s better that we go back to the provincial city sooner rather than later!"

For now, she felt the safest bet was to leave Spring City as soon as possible.

Latter on, if she wanted to investigate anything, she could always send someone over—it wouldn’t be too late.

Once her eldest son truly met that woman, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just then, Lu Qing, who hadn’t come back after stepping out to dispose of porridge, pushed the door and entered.

Fang Youlan asked, "Qingqing! Why did you just come back? Where did you go?"

Lu Qing’s cheeks had a touch of red, "I had arranged to go shopping with my classmate today, and I was too hurried yesterday to inform her, so I went to her brother’s shop to pass the message!"

"Oh!" Fang Youlan and Shao Meirou were not interested in these details and did not pay much attention.

"Could it be that Pengcheng fell asleep at the hotel?" Fang Youlan thought; she truly hoped that her eldest son would stay at the hotel and not come back to the hospital to minimize the chances of meeting Nurse Luo.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing laughed and shook her head, "No! I just ran into my uncle, he was with that nurse Luo from the hospital, and said he was going to meet a friend!"

"What?" Fang Youlan’s heart skipped a beat; could it be, that girl was really... maybe the ’friend’ he was going to meet was that woman...
