Chapter 485: Chapter 483 But What_1

At this moment, Little Sweetie also spoke up, timidly staring at the stern old man, Sir Lu: "Grandpa, hello, I’m really not Mr. Lu’s child, my mom is named Tao Tao, and as for my dad, my mom said he’s gone to another world. When I grow to be a hundred years old, I can go find him."

Little Sweetie explained everything clearly.

Hearing this, the old man had no more doubts in his heart.

The child’s eyes were so clear, she wasn’t lying.

"Good child." As he thought about how the child didn’t even have a father, Sir Lu couldn’t help but feel pained and kindly waved her over: "Come here, to Grandpa."

Perhaps because Sir Lu had been too scary just now, not only did she not go over, but she also timidly hid behind Lu Fan’s legs.

Seeing this, Sir Lu immediately glared at Lu Fan: "It’s all your fault, you damn boy, for not making things clear at the beginning, causing me to misunderstand!"

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so disliked by the little baby.

Whimper, whimper, whimper!

Lu Fan: "..."

This damn self, wanting to be slandered, is now blaming him for not giving a reminder.

He really doffs his cap to that.

"Little Sweetie, it’s okay now, Grandpa is very nice, and he also has a lot of money, go play with him, he’ll buy you tasty treats."

"Right, right, right!" Sir Lu quickly nodded.

"Okay then." Ultimately, Little Sweetie couldn’t resist the temptation of snacks and ran over to Sir Lu.

Sir Lu stroked her soft hair and, taking her tender little hand, led her into the living room.

After playing together for a while, Little Sweetie dozed off on the sofa.

"Nanny Wu, carry the child to the bedroom to sleep, and remember to be gentle with your movements, don’t wake her."

Nanny Wu hurriedly stepped forward: "Yes, Sir Lu."

As she spoke, Nanny Wu bent down carefully to lift Little Sweetie up.

After they left, Sir Lu resumed his stern expression, looking towards Lu Fan: "What exactly happened?"

"Little Sweetie’s mom had an accident during a stage performance; she was hit by a falling spotlight. My sister-in-law suspects it might have been deliberate, and I’m currently having someone investigate..." Lu Fan closed his eyes and rubbed his temples in pain.

Then, he stood up: "Grandpa, I’m going to the hospital to see how Tao Tao is doing. Please take care of Little Sweetie for these few days."

"Go ahead with peace of mind, I and Nanny Wu will watch over Little Sweetie here."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Lu Fan couldn’t help but hug the elder.

After he left, Sir Lu glanced towards Little Sweetie’s room and couldn’t help but sigh: "Poor child..."

Without a father, and now even her mother’s life is hanging by a thread.

Such a hard life, such a hard life!

Meanwhile, at the hospital.

By the time Lu Fan arrived, the surgery was still not over.

"Manager Lu."

Seeing him arrive, everyone quickly greeted him.

Ruan Ruanruan asked: "Manager Lu, is there any clue regarding the spotlight accident?"

Mentioning this made Lu Fan feel a surge of exhaustion: "Currently, there’s no evidence to indicate it was deliberate."

"I’ve told someone to continue investigating."

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but sigh.

Perhaps another hour passed when finally, the light in the operating room went out.

The door opened soon after.

Lu Fan immediately rushed over: "Sister-in-law, how is Tao Tao?"

Xia Ningxing, while removing her mask, said: "Don’t worry, she’s no longer in life-threatening danger."

"Did she injure anything?"

"Leg fracture, wrist fracture, but these are minor injuries. Once healed, they won’t affect her dancing, it’s just...," Xia Ningxing suddenly found it hard to continue.

"But what?"

"Her uterus was injured again." As this concerned Tao Tao’s privacy, Xia Ningxing only whispered it to Lu Fan.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan paused for a moment, but the next second, he acted as if nothing was wrong, "That’s a small matter, as long as she’s all right, that’s what’s important."

His tone was very certain.

He liked Tao Tao, liked her for who she was.

Whether or not she could have children didn’t matter to him at all.

Even if she couldn’t have children, it still didn’t matter to him.

Seeing that he didn’t care about these things, Xia Ningxing finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted his shoulder, and pushed Taozi into the ward.

Her eyes were tightly closed, her face pale as paper as if she would break with a touch.

Lu Fan stayed by her side, holding her hand, and waited.

"It will take about half an hour for the anesthesia to wear off. If you find her lips are dry, use a cotton swab to dab some water on them to moisturize," Xia Ningxing advised.

"I’ll remember," Lu Fan nodded quickly, then saw the exhaustion on her face and immediately felt guilty, "Thank you, sister-in-law; you’ve worked hard."

"We’re all family; there’s no need for formalities. Alright, stay here with Taozi, I’m going to rest for a while," Xia Ningxing said and left.

Xia Ningxing was indeed very tired.

So tired that she just sat on the hospital’s blue chair and soon fell asleep unknowingly.

She didn’t even notice someone approaching her.

Not until a piece of clothing was laid over her.

"Who?" Xia Ningxing opened her eyes immediately, sharpness in her gaze, with no trace of sleepiness.

"It’s me," Lu Tingli spoke out, rubbing her hair with his large hand before sitting beside her and taking her into his arms.

Xia Ningxing’s eyes immediately curved into a smile, "Lu, why are you here?"

Lu Tingli sighed, "I heard that you were saving Tao Tao, and I was worried about you, so I took time off to come and see you."

"Lu, you’re so kind," Xia Ningxing nestled in his chest.

His chest was warm and reassuring, prompting Xia Ningxing’s sleepiness to return.

Seeing this, Lu Tingli said again, "Let me take you home to sleep. It’s uncomfortable sleeping here."

"Okay," Xia Ningxing nodded, and then she saw the man crouching down.

"Come on."

He patted his back, signaling her.

"You’ve had a few rescues in a row; are you sure your legs still have the strength to walk?"

He didn’t mention it before, but now Xia Ningxing truly felt her legs were sore.

Light as a feather, with no strength at all, as though she might fall down at any moment.

"Then I’ll hop on," Xia Ningxing immediately stopped being polite and climbed onto his back.

Once she was secure, Lu Tingli stood up right away, carrying her out of the hospital.

By the time they got home, Xia Ningxing had already fallen asleep in the car.

Lu Tingli couldn’t help but feel a pang of distress as he gently carried her into the house.

Her features showed such obvious signs of fatigue that Mrs. Xia couldn’t help but frown and asked quietly, "What’s happened to Bao’er?"

She had been busy all day and was unaware of the news about Tao Tao’s accident.

"Auntie, let me put Ningxing in her room first. I’ll explain to you in a moment," Lu Tingli said as he carried Xia Ningxing into the bedroom.

After he tucked her in and took care of the blanket’s corners, Lu Tingli came back downstairs to explain to Mrs. Xia.

"It was Giant Star’s artist, Tao Tao, who was injured..." Lu Tingli spoke in a subdued voice and briefly went over the incident.

After listening, Mrs. Xia couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
