However, Xu Man had been maintaining the image of a good-tempered and gentle mother and wife for numerous years.
Hence, even though she was infuriated, she could not throw a fit and vent her anger since there were so many people around them, especially Lin Zikang.
She just pretended that Lin Rui was throwing a tantrum after regaining consciousness.
She thought, ‘This wretched girl has always been hot-tempered and gullible anyway.’
‘In the future, I’d have many ways to make this girl the public enemy whom everyone detests!’
Xu Man said gently, “Lin Rui, you can do whatever you want, but now, the most important thing is to rest well. You have no idea, your father and I are worried sick about you.”
Lin Zikang had already instructed the doctors to come over and give Lin Rui a physical examination. He then said to Xu Man, “Xu Man, quickly go home and arrange for someone to come and take care of Lin Rui. Get them to prepare some of the clothes that she usually wears and cook some meals that are suitable for her now. Lin Rui doesn’t like to eat the food prepared by other chefs.”
“Yes, okay,” Xu Man answered, watching Lin Zikang show his concern and worries about Lin Rui. At the instant that she turned around to leave, her eyes became icy cold.
‘In Lin Zikang’s eyes, no one is as important as this wretched girl Lin Rui!’
‘Besides, Lin Rui resembles her deceased mother greatly, who is Lin Zikang’s lawful wife, Fang Yuluo!’
As such, Lin Rui’s existence was a repeated reminder that Xu Man will forever only be a stepmother!
She would never be as good as Lin Zikang’s wife, the woman who had passed on for several years!
Xu Man strutted away furiously in her high heels.
The doctors began giving Lin Rui a physical examination.
After the examination, the specialist who was taking the lead was very surprised.
He said to Lin Zikang, “Mr. Lin, apart from the bruises on Miss Lin Rui’s body and the slight fracture on her leg, she’s no longer in serious condition. As long as she recuperates and rests well, she will definitely recover in two months’ time!”
Originally, Lin Rui had hit her head and was almost predicted to become brain dead.
Lin Zikang was extremely grateful to see his daughter seated there alive and well.
In order to let his daughter have a better rest, Lin Zikang chased all the people in the ward away.
He also instructed the staff not to let anyone disturb his daughter, Lin Rui, during this period of time. After making the necessary arrangements, his face became visibly tired.
From the moment he learned of his daughter’s car accident until now, Lin Zikang had been tensed up, and he finally dared to heave a sigh of relief.
Lin Rui looked at Lin Zikang in a daze.
Prior to this, she did not have any family members, and other than the people in the Immortal Sect, she was closest only to her disciples, Xing and Qi Bao.
Her heart turned a little softer when she saw how concerned Lin Zikang was towards her.
Perhaps, some of the emotions of the former owner were still affecting her.
However, Lin Rui did not feel repulsed by that feeling.
She said softly, “Father, go home and get some rest too. I’ll be fine here. If you’re still worried about me, just leave some bodyguards here to protect me.”
Lin Zikang was startled by his daughter’s sudden affection, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
“Lin Rui, you’re actually so concerned about me…”
Lin Rui knew from the memories of the former owner that she had caused a lot of trouble previously.
Time and time again, she would disappoint and anger Lin Zikang but even then, Lin Zikang had never stopped treating Lin Rui well.
Perhaps, it was because of kinship. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water.
Lin Zikang, who was a powerful and successful businessman, now had tears welled up in his bloodshot eyes and was like a child who was about to cry.
Lin Rui smiled and asked, “It’s only right for a daughter to show her father some concern, isn’t it?”
Lin Zikang was stunned, but he nonetheless nodded restrainedly before turning around to leave calmly.
However, his pace got quicker and quicker.
