Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Let the Ah Lin in Her Heart Die

"Cheng Zhiwei?" Zhou Lin’s tone raised slightly, his demeanor still relaxed and scattered, "It must be her, although not exactly a perfect match, but the Cheng family is a scholarly family, and my mother likes her a lot."

People like them, who come from less prominent families or lack capabilities, mostly get into marriages for business alliances, but with Zhou Family’s vast business and properties, and Zhou Lin being capable himself, that wasn’t a concern.

Choosing someone his parents approved of wasn’t bad either.

Seo Zhenzhen didn’t know how she had left, but she always remembered, Zhou Lin’s choice was Cheng Zhiwei.

Or rather, his choice had always been Cheng Zhiwei, and she was just his diversion and a shield, ultimately to be discarded.

Simply because she didn’t come from a scholarly family.

Simply because she was an orphan from a welfare institute.

They bullied her like this, yet still hoped for their wishes to be fulfilled? Cheng Zhiwei would never win Zhou Lin’s love.

Yet now, Zhou Lin had chosen Cheng Zhiwei once again, solely because of those trivial chat records.

...

Zhou Lin returned to the Zhou Family house and asked, "Where is the Young Madam?"

The servant beside him said, "The Young Madam is upstairs."

Zhou Lin walked upstairs, and just as he reached the bedroom door, he encountered Cheng Zhiwei rushing out. She ran into his arms too quickly, quickly apologized, then turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" Zhou Lin grabbed her, it was already dark, yet she was running outside.

"To pick up Ah Lin," Cheng Zhiwei raised her voice, "He’s coming back."

Zhou Lin’s grip tightened instantly, he directly scooped her up and brought her back to the room, placed her on the bed’s edge, crouched down to meet her eyes, "Did he say he was coming back?"

The excitement of seeing her beloved soon was apparent in Cheng Zhiwei’s clear black and white eyes, she nodded heavily, "Yes, he sent me a message, he said he’s coming back."

Zhou Lin held her hand tightly, speaking to her with unusual gentleness for the first time, "Tell me, do you chat often?"

Cheng Zhiwei pouted slightly unwillingly, she didn’t want to share their secrets with anyone else.

But the man in front of her was unreasonably domineering, fearing that he wouldn’t let her go, she pursed her lips and said, "Actually, he didn’t know who I was at first."

Zhou Lin’s heart trembled, "He didn’t know who you were?"

"Ah Lin has always been a proud child, too proud to show weakness in front of others. If he knew I was caring for him, he would certainly think it was out of pity, so initially, I didn’t tell him who I was. Since nobody knew that account, I used it like a tree hollow, just to chat idly."

"Later he replied to me, and I was very happy; his response meant that he wanted to step out of those shadows," Cheng Zhiwei spoke more and more cheerfully, her expressionthrilled, "Now, he’s finally well and coming back to the country."

Cheng Zhiwei couldn’t distinguish between reality and semblance, in her memory, Zhou Lin was the one who was sick, and she had chatted with him; however, because Lin Yu said Zhou Lin had gone abroad, she confused these two events.

"Cheng Zhiwei, do you want to marry him?" Zhou Lin asked flatly.

Cheng Zhiwei’s cheeks flushed, yet she pursed her lips and shook her head, "Liking him is my own affair, it doesn’t necessarily mean I want to marry him."

Her feelings were always pure.

"I already asked, can you let me go to pick up Ah Lin?" Cheng Zhiwei pleaded, "Brother Zhou, please?"

Of course not, there was only one Zhou Lin here, right before her eyes.

But he couldn’t just say that.

"Cheng Zhiwei, your Ah Lin is still abroad receiving treatment," Zhou Lin spoke to her soothingly, "Have you forgotten? I brought you back from the airport?"

Cheng Zhiwei’s clear eyes became bewildered, and vague images floated in her mind, as if there was something like this, but why couldn’t she remember it clearly?

She lowered her head and didn’t speak.

Zhou Lin raised his hand to touch her hair and placed the phone in her palm, "Cheng Zhiwei, do you want to ask him why he hasn’t come back yet?"

"Okay." Cheng Zhiwei obediently nodded, opened the phone, and the screen still showed the messages she had sent, with no response.

But as if she hadn’t seen them, she sent out a message.

After waiting around ten seconds, she suddenly opened her phone and smiled slightly, "He said he will be back in two days."

But Zhou Lin could see clearly that the chat box only contained the messages Cheng Zhiwei had sent, there was no reply at all.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Lin suppressed the emotions within him and stood up, "You rest well, I’ll accompany you to pick him up when it’s time."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou." Cheng Zhiwei immediately smiled sincerely and thanked him.

Zhou Lin closed the room door and stood in the corridor for a while, then he called Secretary Zhang and asked him to schedule a time with Doctor Fang.

Secretary Zhang soon returned the call and asked Zhou Lin when he would like to come over.

Thinking of Cheng Zhiwei’s condition, the sooner the intervention, the better, Zhou Lin had Secretary Zhang schedule for the next morning.

In the morning, Zhou Lin brought Cheng Zhiwei back to see Doctor Fang.

After examining her, Doctor Fang spoke with a serious expression, "Her condition is getting worse, not only is her memory confused, but the confusion also leads to delusions."

It’s essentially her imagining things that don’t exist, such as the returning Ah Lin.

"What’s the treatment?" Zhou Lin asked with a frown and a heavy voice.

Doctor Fang paused for a few seconds and asked, "Are you willing to send her to a sanatorium or a mental hospital?"

Zhou Lin’s pupils contracted and his hostility surged.

"There are professional doctors and nurses there to take care of her, and since she does not have violent tendencies or would be treated roughly," Doctor Fang suggested, "With President Zhou and the Zhou Family as her back, surely no one would dare to harm her."

"Not considering that," Zhou Lin coldly rejected the suggestion, "I came here to ask for ways to treat her, not to send her to a mental hospital."

"But that is indeed the best method," Doctor Fang said helplessly, "You have a misunderstanding of that place..."

"Is there another way?" Zhou Lin cut her off.

"There is, but it’s not very stable."

"Speak."

"Completely sever her thoughts, that is, let the Ah Lin in her heart ’die,’ make it clear to her that that person no longer exists in this world. For her, it’s very cruel."

Forcing Cheng Zhiwei to accept the death of her beloved was indeed cruel.

Despite having amnesia, she still remembered to say prayers for Ah Lin, to send him messages to chat, showing how vital Ah Lin was in her heart. Letting her know Ah Lin ’died’ would probably devastate her.

Furthermore, Zhou Lin himself could not accept ’killing’ the version of himself in Cheng Zhiwei’s memory.

"President Zhou?"

"I’ll make a decision and come back to you," Zhou Lin stated coldly.
