CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Chapter 9 - A New Hope

Looking at the glowing red light outside the door of the room, there were countless thoughts in Mo Roulan'smind.

Could her rebirth really change these things?

When deciding in that small shabby house that she would make her family her first priority in this life, she had immense confidence in herself. She had thought that she could change her destiny by herself. Now sitting outside the operation room, she suddenly was not much sure.

What if she still couldn't save her mother?

Her trance was broken when she felt a sudden weight on her shoulder. Looking on her right side, Little Mo Chen was sleeping on her shoulder with his mouth open. A warm and soft smile full of affection made its way on her lips.

She didn't have the heart to leave her little brother alone at home. Now seeing him again made her somewhat afraid as if she does things even in a little bit wrong way, her small family will be snatched away from her again. The fear resided in her heart and she thinks that it will be there for a long time. Fortunately, her mother agreed to come to the hospital in the end else she didn't know what would she have done. It was painful enough for her once to see everything slipping from her hand, she will never want to experience that pain again.

She adjusted Little Mo Chen's position carefully and put his head on her lap. Fortunately, she had already brought a blanket so she covered him with that blanket.

Finally, the red bulb went dark. The operation lasted for at least five hours. The doctor came outside. Since he was wearing the mask, she couldn't see his expression. Mo Roulan carefully lifted her little brother's head from her lap and went to talk to the doctor.

The doctor removed the mask from his face and there was a small smile on his lips. It made her remember how patiently he had explained everything to her about the operation when she had said that there was no adult in her family except her mother. She also tried to force out a smile at his small gesture but failed to do so. As if the doctor understood her nervousness, he patted her head with his hand and finally said

"The operation was successful. Your Mother is fine now. We will shift her to the ICU for a few hours to keep a check on her condition. You can meet your mother as soon as she gets conscious."

A deep sigh of relief came out of her lips and after that what followed were tears. This time they were because of happiness. Embarrassed for crying like a child in front of the doctor, she wiped her tears hurriedly.

She nodded at the doctor with a large smile on her lips. Then she bowed her head to express her gratitude.

"Thank you so much, doctor.

Although her face looked awful with traces of tears and a smile on her lips, the doctor could not help but find her very cute when she did these actions done by most adults. He felt that all the tiredness from the operation by her cuteness.

Mo Roulan felt something. She turned a bit to check and found that Little Mo Chen was standing behind her with his hand on her sleeve. There was still a little bit of sleepiness on his face. When he saw a doctor in front of her elder sister, he was wide awake.

"Doctor Uncle, how is my mother now? Is she still in pain?"

The doctor found him cuter than his elder sister and patted his little head again and again while saying

"Yes, your mother is alright. No, she is not in pain."

As soon as he finished his sentence, Little Mo Chen's stomach grumbled loudly. His face went red and he lowered his head shyly. The doctor almost laughed loudly. He was afraid that it would hurt the child so he excused himself hurriedly telling Mo Roulan that the nurse was taking care of her mother and she can use this time to have some meal.

'How cute both of them are. He suddenly wanted to get married and have two cute children like them Ah'

Even Mo Roulan felt guilty at her negligence. Only now she remembered, Little Mo Chen had not eaten anything since yesternight. The guilt grew more when he raised his head and looked at her with a pitiful expression.

"Jiejie, Chenchen is hungry."

His black big round eyes blinked at her. Only when he saw that the doctor was gone, he dared to say this sentence.

Mo Roulan took him out of the hospital to a small restaurant. It was very near to the City Hospital. She ordered enough food for both of them. The food was served quickly. She helped Little Mo Chen to place the food in his bowl. Seeing him eating with relish, she also ate with satisfaction.

In between, she paused and looked out of the window to see the scenery outside. The moon was shining brightly in the sky. Countless stars seem to be adoring its beauty.

It was her first step towards changing her destiny in this life. She made a different choice this time.

Her mother was alive. A hope finally started to raise its head in her heart.

Maybe this lifetime would really bring her happiness.
