Fortunately, Lu Huai had tied the belt to himself from the start. Pei Xin and Zhang Chao used their strength to pull him up together. Coupled with Lu Huaiâs height advantage, he carried the child in one hand and used his other hand to push forward. With a few more steps, he returned to safety.
Although it was only a few meters away, they were almost out of strength. The inertia was too great from the fall, and Lu Huai slipped onto a rock at the side with the child in his arms.
His back was facing the ground as he protected Ling Lin in front of his chest.
âAre you okay?â Pei Xin tried her best to hold back her tears, but her voice was choked with sobs.
âIâm fine, Mommy!â Ling Lin quickly stood up. âUncle⦠Uncle is injured!â
Only then did Pei Xin realize that Lu Huaiâs arm had a big gash and had lost a lot of blood.
Zhang Chao slowly shuffled closer and quickly supported Lu Huai up. âMiss Pei, letâs hurry to the hospital. They both need to be examined.â
Pei Xin nodded as she jogged to follow the two people in front of her.
When they went to the hospital for a check-up, other than the shock and a few cuts on his hands, Ling Lin did not have any other injuries.
However, Lu Huaiâs palm had been torn by the belt, and there was a long wound on his arm and bruises all over his leg.
Seeing that he had lost a lot of blood, Ling Lin said to the doctor with red eyes, âDoctor, please take my blood. Uncle Lu and I have special blood types. Last time, Mom said that 1 could take his blood. So that means 1 can give him my blood too, right?â
âIâm fine. I donât need a blood transfusion.â Lu Huai looked at the arm that he had stretched out. The corners of his mouth tightened. He was feeling a little nervous.
The nurse smiled. âHe doesnât need a blood transfusion. He just needs to recuperate.â
Ling Lin nodded his head in a half-understanding manner. â1â11 take care of him. You need some tea.â
Hearing his words, everyone in the room laughed. He heard that CEO Lu was injured because he saved this child. Now, he wanted to return the favor.
Looking at the two peopleâs similar faces, the doctor and nurse had a guess.
Pei Xin heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the two of them were fine. She wanted to go to the corridor to get some fresh air, but she did not expect to hear Liu Yan on the phone.
âYeah, CEO Lu has been looking for that woman for six years. However, itâs hard to say what happened six years ago. Alright, help me ask the person involved again. Itâs room two eight one two. CEO Lu was drugged at that time and doesnât remember anything else.â
When she heard the room number, Pei Xin almost fell. Wasnât this the room she was in that day?
Before she could ask anything, Sun Jinâs call came in.
âPei Xin, you were sent to room two eight one two by Pei Jue. He definitely knows the inside story. Iâve asked around.â Sun Jinâs tone was a little unpleasant. âAnyway, the other party is willing to be a witness. However, I think if you want to find the childâs biological father, why donât you ask Pei Jue for more answers?â
He was worried that the Pei family would harm Pei Xin. He added, âLet me know before you go. 1â11 go with you. They wonât dare to do anything with me there.â
Pei Xin quickly thanked him and hung up the phone, but her heart was already in turmoil.
Lu Huai had been looking for a woman that disappeared six years ago. Was he drugged too? Was he in the same room as her? Was all of this a coincidence?
When she thought about how Lu Huai had helped the Xu family before, but then completely withdrew his cooperation, Pei Xin felt that there might be some connection between them. Otherwise, why would Xu Lian think that she could become Lu Huaiâs woman?
Pei Xin started to shake when she saw the similar side profile of Lu Huai and Ling Lin in the treatment room.
She quietly walked in and picked up two pieces of gauze that Lu Huai had wiped off the blood with a tissue and put them into her bag. Then, she told Liu Yan that she needed to go to the bathroom and asked him to help take care of the two.
She felt that it was better to do a paternity test first. Whether he wanted to acknowledge them as family was another matter.
At this moment, Lu Huai continued to stare at the little fellow in front of him with a frown. He felt a strange connection to this child.
âDonât frown. Youâll get wrinkles here.â Ling Lin touched Lu Huaiâs forehead with his hand. The people around him were so scared that they did not dare to speak. Somehow, Lu Huai did not scold him. He did not even dodge.
He was not in the mood to pay attention to the childâs movements. He followed the childâs collar and saw the small red mole on Ling Linâs collarbone.
Thinking of the woman who begged for mercy under him the other day, he felt a little restless. âIs this a natural mole?â
Ling Lin nodded. âUncle said that 1 was born with a red mole, and Mommy has one here too. Mommy said that itâs hereditary.â
Lu Huaiâs memory became clearer as soon as he said that..
