My Beloved

Chapter 498 - HAN LUO'S FATHER

"Speaking of your father. I have some questions. Should I ask?"

Han Luo quizzically glanced at Lu Feng who asked this question.

"What do you want to know?" 

"Your father, is he in a critical condition? Hasn't he been in the hospital for too long?" Lu Feng inquired.

Lu Feng was a well-known doctor and researcher. Han Luo didn't dare to say random things.

She replied, "My daddy has been in a vegetative state since that accident. He never woke up afterward. He wasn't critically wounded but he had internal injuries in his head. 

"Doctors said that he was lucky enough not to die instantly just like my mommy. When I asked for treatment, they said there is no treatment for this. They don't even expect that my daddy will wake up again. 

"They keep telling me to pray and have faith in God. I have faith in God and I'm praying every day but it never works. He never wakes up."

The more she talked about her father, the more her heart tightened. 

She sensed Mo Yuan trying to comfort her from the side and felt a lot better.

Her eyes darted back and forth toward Mu Feng and Lu Feng. 

"Do you want to check on my daddy? He doesn't have a problem, right?"

Lu Feng checked his wristwatch and answered, "It's almost lunchtime. After lunch, I'll go and check on your father."

"Then, I'll join…" Han Luo was about to get up.

Lu Feng immediately interrupted her, "You get better first. Even if you go with me, you won't be of any help. If I need to ask something, I will call you."

Mu Lan also got up from the couch. "We will go for now. Take some rest."

"Mamma, I want to stay with my pretty sister, can't I?" Mu Laquan showed a pitiful expression. His voice hinted at urgency.

Mu Lan was stunned. "How can you, Xiao Uan? Pretty sister needs rest."

Mu Laquan showed the most innocent expression he could muster.

"I won't disturb pretty sister. I'll stay by her side and treat her well. If she needs help, I'll assist her."

Mo Yuan: "…"

'Did he forget that I'm still alive?' he pondered.

When Mu Lan hesitated, Han Luo said, "Auntie Lan, let him stay with us. He is a good boy. He won't cause a problem."

Mu Lan finally smiled. "Okay, keep him with you. If he causes any problem, you can just call me. I'll take him back with me."

"All right!" Han Luo promised.

After they all left, Han Luo carried the ten year old kid to the bed and made him sit beside her.

Mu Laquan blushed in embarrassment. 

How could he let the girl he had a crush on, carry him? Didn't he just lose face? 

It was a good thing that his brothers weren't here. 

Mu Lian and Mu Lin might not say anything but the second one Mu Ling would tease him to death.

He wouldn't find peace even in his grave!

He sheepishly glanced at Han Luo and requested, "Pretty sister, don't carry me like this. I'm an adult now. I'm a man."

[A/N: That's exactly what my 5 year old nephew says. He even stopped playing with his most favorite toy to show us he is an adult. And me, his aunt, still sleeps with my dolls.]

"Yes, yes, you are. I'm so sorry I carried you without your permission." 

Han Luo hugged him and kissed his both cheeks. His round cheeks turned redder and redder.

Mo Yuan's expression didn't look good. He didn't know why a certain part of his heart was burning after seeing this scene.

All of a sudden, he recalled she said that she wanted to have a child with him. 

Now that he saw her and the kid getting along so well, his heart went numb. He couldn't react.

Maybe to save him from the illusion, Tang Yujin and Ma Rui came to the room with the meal.

"Since you two are here, why not we all eat here?" Tang Yujin suggested.

His eyes landed on the child and asked, "Is this President Mu's son? He is cute."

"Xiao Uan isn't just cute. He is a good boy." Han Luo praised Mu Laquan and rubbed her face on his head.

Mu Laquan lowered his eyes. He was shy.

Han Luo smiled at him and kept rubbing his head. His hair was so silky and smooth. It felt great to touch.

"Xiao Uan, are you hungry? I'm super hungry. Let's eat together okay?"

Mu Laquan nodded. His eyes sparkled. He wanted to eat with Han Luo.

It had been such a long time.

Ma Rui and Tang Yujin also felt the same. Their anxious hearts finally calmed down seeing the happy couple eat with them.

"By the way, where is big brother Ming, Mian, and Noah? Did they leave already? I wanted to talk to them more."

Han Luo was longing for brotherly love. She missed Noah and Zheng Mian too.

Tang Yujin answered, "Xiao Ming went to the company. There is a meeting. He didn't want to go and so Noah had to drag him out. Xiao Mian has a photoshoot. She regretfully left."

Han Luo's shoulders slumped. She felt a bit lonely.

"Is that so… I'm glad that they stopped by before important work."

"If it wasn't for Noah, Xiao Ming would live in the hospital. He went crazy after you came back," Tang Yujin shortly described the situation.

Han Luo smiled. She felt sweetness in her heart. Her cousin never disappointed her.

Ma Rui mentioned, "By the way, we were notified that President Smith's children Larry and Nana were involved in your abduction. I called the police and sued that Nana. She is in jail."

"That happened?!" Han Luo was shocked.

However, Ma Rui wasn't satisfied with just sending Nana Shimizu to jail. She was fuming.

"That poisonous girl! Who does she think she is? Does she think if you aren't there, I'll accept any girl as my son's bride? Never! My daughter and daughter-in-law will be only one person and that's final!"

Tang Yujin controlled his laughter. He now knew that he could never make this cool woman his enemy. 

He looked at Han Luo. "That's why Madam Smith keeps coming to the hospital and begging to meet you. However, you would wake up and so she had to leave. 

"If she does when we are not around, don't face her. She doesn't deserve forgiveness."

Han Luo frowned. "I won't forgive Nana for what she did. Larry even hit me hard. If he wasn't killed by Mr. Frost's men, I would have sent him to jail too."

She couldn't forgive those who hurt her. Moreover, because of their greed and jealousy, Mo Yuan was dragged into this. He nearly died and everyone around her suffered significantly. 

She didn't want those who cared for her suffering. She already lost her parents. She didn't want to lose these caring and loving people too.

Mo Yuan, Tang Yujin, and Mu Laquan's expressions changed.

Mu Laquan: "Who hit you?!"

Tang Yujin: "That jerk! If I get him, I'll break his arms and legs."

Mo Yuan: "The Smith Family has to suffer."

Ma Rui's eyes teared up. "My daughter suffered. I won't let them get away with it. Can't they teach their children to be human? Inhuman!"

They chatted for a long while and finished their meal.

Later, Han Luo was with Mo Yuan. With her request, they shifted her to his room.

Mu Laquan was playing with his toy while she was sitting beside Mo Yuan.

At that moment, she got a call.

It was from Lu Feng.

'Did he already check on my daddy?' Her heartbeat increased just thinking about that.
