Chapter 1846
After Tina donated the bone marrow, under the strong request of Wilson and the doctor's instructions, she stayed in the hospital for a full week before she was discharged.
Tina knew that Wilson was concerned about her.
She obediently did as he said. The necessary arrangements had been made with the TV station, while Tina's colleague, Susan Anson, was roughly informed of what had happened, and she was asked to take the place of Tina when needed.
While staying in the hospital, Tina sometimes felt bored, and the only leisure activity she could do was to take a walk.
It was winter now, and the afternoon sunshine was warm and comfortable. It almost shed on every corner of the hospital.
Tina was wrapped in a camel-colored coat, which was long enough to reach her knees. Wilson held her shoulder with his hand, and the two of them were taking a stroll along the stone road of the small park inside the hospital. Tina was enjoying the sunshine, and her shadow was cast on the ground.
Although Tina was still in the hospital, she actually felt that the current life pattern was peaceful and enjoyable.
Like an airport, the hospital had always been the place which was characterized by the greatest number of the flow of people in the city.
When Tina and Wilson finished taking a stroll, they caught sight of a familiar figure walking out of the inpatient building.
She asked in surprise, "Dylan?"
Dylan, who heard Tina's voice, stopped and turned to look at them. He was also very surprised.
Wilson took out his mobile phone and said, "You two talk first. I'll pick up a phone call!"
As he spoke, he walked to the flower bed on the other side.
At present, Wilson was no longer worried about the relationship between Tina and Dylan.
Tina was moved by Wilson's trust.
She looked at Dylan, who was standing in front of her, feeling a little strange.
Dylan liked to wear clothes of a casual style in the past, and he would wear specially-made performance costumes only in case of a piano concert. Today, he was wearing a neatly-tailored black handmade suit, which was similar to the one worn by Wilson.
Although this dressing style made his originally handsome and cool face more charming, it at the same time covered up his temperament of being an artist to some extent.
For this reason, Tina felt a little unnatural while facing him.
When Dylan saw the hospital gown under Tina's coat, he asked with a very nervous and concerned expression, "Tina, why are you here? Are you sick?"
"No!" Tina shook her head with a smile and explained, "I'm not sick. The chairman of the Amery's Group was diagnosed with leukemia. I donated the bone marrow to him yesterday!" Hearing that, Dylan breathed a sigh of relief.
A confused expression appeared on his face. "Chairman Amery? Why would he ask you for the donation of bone marrow?"
Tina replied in a low voice, "Actually, Chairman Amery and I..."
Tina and Dylan could almost be regarded as childhood sweethearts. He had always been clear about her family background.
Tina did not want to hide anything from Dylan, and she told him everything.
After hearing that, Dylan was shocked, yet he did not ask too much. He nodded and said, "I hadn't expected that something like this would happen!"
Tina smiled faintly.
Her first response to this incident was almost the same with Dylan's.
Tina turned to ask him, "Dylan, what are you doing here? Is it because of uncle's health..."
Dylan replied with a smile, "No, don't worry. My father is in good shape now. Recently, he has allowed me full control of the company's business affairs. He has now retired from corporate business. He simply wants to stay at home for health preservation! I came to the hospital today to visit an old shareholder of our company who is sick on behalf of our company!"
Tina nodded.
At this time, a white commercial car drove to a place behind the two of them and stopped. The driver got off the car and stood beside it with his hands crossed behind his body, as if he was waiting for Dylan. Dylan also noticed the driver. He said, "Tina, I have to go back to the company and meet our clients now. Take care of yourself! See you next time."
Tina smiled. "Okay... Bye-bye!"
Dylan seemed to be in a hurry. He turned around and strode into the car.
Tina's eyes rested on his right arm, which was hanging down, and there was a touch of sadness in her eyes.
Suddenly, she felt something warm on her shoulder.
A big hand was put on her shoulder. Tina turned around and saw that Wilson had come back after making the phone call. He patted her shoulder gently, while his lips curled up slightly, as if he was trying to comfort her silently.
Tina knew that Wilson understood her thought, and therefore she smiled at him.
The next day, the sun was setting in the evening.
Tina was the only one in the ward. Wilson had a very important meeting in the afternoon. After that, he would go to the kindergarten to pick up
Isla.
While Wilson was away, Tina secretly modified and adjusted all the design drawings.
The door of the ward was knocked. Tina thought that it must be the nurse, so she did not look up. However, when she heard the sound of high heels hitting the ground, she couldn't help raising her head. When Tina saw clearly who she was, she was shocked.
Tina frowned. "Mrs. Koo?"
Lilith walked into the ward. She was dressed like a rich woman today. An LV bag was hung on her wrist, and she was wearing a lot of shiny and precious jewelry. A fruit basket was held in the other hand of her. Tina's expression was indifferent. "Mrs. Koo, have you gone into the wrong ward?"
Lilith's face had always been arrogant and mean, yet it was full of smiles now. She put the fruit basket down on the tea table nearby and said, "No... I heard that you are in the hospital, actually, I'm here to visit you today!"
Tina narrowed her eyes. "Are you here to visit me?"
"Are you kidding me?" She thought.
"The sun finally rises from the west?"
Tina looked at Lilith warily and said with an ambiguous smile, "Mrs. Koo, what do you want to do? If you're here to teach me a lesson, I don't have time to be your student. If you're here to make trouble, I won't let you succeed. And... This is my ward, and you're not welcome!"
The smile on Lilith's face became deeper, and her tone was very friendly. "Tina, don't be like this. I am sincerely here to visit you, and I want to get rid of the misunderstanding between us!" Tina did not know what to say.
She was even more shocked by what Lilith had said.
Only in front of Aspry and Dylan would Lilith hypocritically call Tina by her name. In private, she always called her "you".
Lilith walked toward the hospital bed, and her attitude had indeed changed a great deal. She was trying her best to behave like a kind elder. "Tina, I want to apologize to you for all the things I had done wrong. It was my fault to break you up with Dylan in the past. I regret it so much now! That's why I'm here to ask you for forgiveness today!"
Tina could not believe what she heard.
It looked like something ridiculous, yet it was happening!
Lilith smiled brightly, and her eyes were shining. "I heard that your biological father is still alive. He's the chairman of the Amery's Group? Aren't you the daughter of a rich family now? For the sake of Aspry and Dylan, please don't blame me for what I have done in the past... Now I will no longer oppose you and Dylan being together, and I will not object to the marriage between the two of you. You can get married to Dylan at any moment!"
The corners of Tina's lips twitched slightly.
Only then did she realize why Lilith acted so abnormally.
Many years ago, as an orphan Tina was admitted into the Koo family and grew up there. The most important reason why Lilith looked down on Tina was the latter's identity. Lilith thought that Tina was but a "Cinderella" in modern society, and was no match for her noble son.
Last night, Lilith inadvertently overheard the conversation between Dylan and Aspry, and learned about Tina's real identity.
Lilith's heart was filled with mixed feelings after that.
She originally placed all her hopes on Selene Chin. She just wanted her daughter-in-law to be from a rich and powerful family of the noble class. But now, Selene was disheartened and had already gone abroad.
For this reason, Lilith shamelessly set Tina as her target of daughter-in-law.
