Chapter 1351: The Story of Ling and Heng (614)
Little Momo’s face was facing Wen Linhan. His dark, grape-like eyes carefully sized up the gentle-looking uncle standing next to Feng Ling. He blinked and timidly buried his face in Feng Ling’s arms, holding Feng Ling tightly with his white, short arms.
From the moment the child turned around and buried his face again, Wen Linhan’s gentle expression changed from hesitation to clarity. He abruptly raised his eyes and looked at Feng Ling who was also holding the child tightly.
“Doctor Wen, I’m very sorry. This child is still having a fever. I’ll send him back to the ward to rest. If there’s a chance to see him again, we’ll contact you.” After speaking, Feng Ling carried the child and turned to leave.
Wen Linhan didn’t chase after her. He just stood there and looked at Feng Ling’s back, then at the arms and legs of the child in her arms. His clear eyes gradually darkened.
“Yu Zheng.” Feng Ling quickly walked up to Yu Zheng. In order to calm Wen Linhan’s doubts, she could not leave immediately. She could only send the child into Yu Zheng’s arms. “Send Momo back to the ward. I want to speak to that man.”
“All right, Miss Feng.” Yu Zheng raised his hand to receive the child, but Feng Ling covered Little Momo’s face with her hand, but she couldn’t be too deliberate.
After Yu Zheng left with the child, Feng Ling pondered for a moment and turned around. Wen Linhan was indeed standing in the same place, looking at Yu Zheng who was carrying the child away.
Feng Ling walked back. “Doctor Wen, if it’s convenient, let’s sit outside.”
Wen Linhan lowered his eyes to look at her. There was clearly something in his eyes, but he never put his emotions on the surface. Hearing Feng Ling’s words, his gaze fell on her face. “The child looks very familiar.”
Feng Ling did not avoid his question, nor did she answer him directly. She only pointed at the door of the hospital.
Without another word, Wen Linhan turned around and walked out.
After arriving outside the hospital, Feng Ling felt the cold wind blowing against her. She had a feeling that the whole incident had cleared up.
“What’s wrong with the child?” Wen Linhan did not waste any time. He stood by her side expressionlessly and looked straight into her eyes, not giving her any chance to lie.
Feng Ling was silent for a moment before asking, “What did you see?”
“Do I still need to look at it? A face speaks for itself.” Wen Linhan’s eyes were cold. “I’m afraid there isn’t a second one in this world that looks so much like me and her face, especially when I grew up with her. I know very well what she looked like when she was young and how I looked when I was young.”
“To be honest, I’m not too sure what exactly happened, but now that the child is entrusted to me, I can’t help you solve your doubts, nor can I hand the child to you. I can’t contact Wen Leqing either. You should know my character. The mission I received was to die in battle. It’s the same for this child. Since she asked me to protect him and not let anyone take him away, even if you put the knife on my neck, I can’t hand him to you.”
Wen Linhan stared at her. “I know you’re not a liar.”
Feng Ling smiled lightly. “Yes, it’s difficult for me to hide anything, but I really don’t know anything.”
“What do you know?”
Feng Ling turned to look at him. “I met this child by chance some time ago. At that time, Xiao Qing didn’t show up in front of me and left the child with me in a hurry. Before she left, she sent me a message asking me to take care of the child. She is my benefactor and I will do my best to take good care of this child. As for the rest, I’m not sure what exactly happened to her and why she hid away and left the child with me.”
Wen Lin’s cold and handsome brows slowly furrowed. “She’s very flustered and needs to hide?”
“I can tell from her messages that this is probably the case, but I can’t be completely sure,” Feng Ling said and looked at Wen Linhan. From his expression, it seemed that he didn’t know what happened to Wen Leqing in the past two years.
“How long has it been since you last contacted her? Don’t you know what happened to her?” Feng Ling asked.
Wen Linhan had one hand in his trouser pocket. The once gentle and tall doctor was now sneering at himself. “If I had known, I wouldn’t have come this far.”
Feng Ling was even more surprised.
So what exactly happened between them?
In the past, Wen Leqing was the one who chased after Wen Linhan, wasn’t she? She had chased him for so many years. Even if she didn’t care about ethics, even if Wen Linhan kept avoiding her passion, Wen Leqing’s heart was always on him.
What was going on?
Feng Ling had always been slow when it came to matters of the heart. At this moment, she didn’t understand, nor did she dare to make wild guesses. She just looked at Wen Linhan.
“She…?”
“She’s married.” Wen Linhan looked at the car driving past in the distance in the early morning. “Two and a half years ago, she cut off all ties with me and left in a carefree and unrestrained manner. She kept saying that she would live a new life from now on and that she wanted to completely get rid of all the emotional trauma I brought her.”
“Two and a half years…” Feng Ling paused.
At that time, Wen Leqing should have been pregnant for several months.
She did not say it out loud, but Wen Linhan must be very clear about the situation at that time.
Wen Leqing was pregnant with his child and kept saying that she wanted to get rid of him.
“Did something happen to the Wen family or her?” Feng Ling asked carefully.
Wen Linhan didn’t answer but just stood there silently. She didn’t know what he was thinking. She looked at this man who was full of coldness and then thought of how Wen Leqing had no choice but to temporarily give her the baby. If there was someone Wen Leqing could rely on in the Wen family, why would he give the baby to her?
It could be seen that something must have happened to the Wen family.
But it seemed like Wen Linhan didn’t want to say this.
He was not good at telling others about himself, and so was Feng Ling. The two of them remained silent in front of the hospital for a long time.
When the sun rose in the east, the coldness of the early morning faded slightly. The phone in Feng Ling’s pocket vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was a text message from Yu Zheng. He said that Little Momo’s forehead was covered in sweat. He had just called a doctor over to take a look and his fever had already subsided.
Feng Ling breathed a sigh of relief and put her phone back into her pocket. Wen Linhan, who did not see the contents of her phone, asked, “Is the child’s fever gone?”
