Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion - Chapter 196
Chapter 196: Untitled
“I’m not going back!” Her reaction was huge.
“Princess, if you don’t go ahead with the cornea replacement as soon as possible, things will only get thorny in the future. You have to return to the Blue Tower to change your cornea. No hospital here is willing to operate on you, nor is anyone willing to donate their cornea to you.”
Gu Feirou removed her sheet mask. “I will never go back.”
A troubled frown formed on Jing Xinze’s face. “Princess…”
“When will she be coming over?”
“The Queen didn’t mention a specific date, but she should be coming sometime in the near future.”
“I’m not going back. I can’t go back, not when Brother Jingxuan is in such a state. I’ll wait until he recovers fully first before considering whether or not I’ll go back to the Blue Tower.”
“You can bring him with you.”
An adamant look crossed her face. “No. I will only go back when Brother Jingxuan has fully recovered.”
“Alright. I’ll pass on the message to the Queen.”
She heaved a sigh of relief. “Is the soup ready?”
“It’s ready.”
The woman headed upstairs to change clothes and put on makeup before dropping by the Lin Residence with a flask of bone broth.
However, when she got there, she was stopped outside. “Please wait here for a bit while I notify our young master about your visit, Madam.”
Her furrowed brows formed a tight line across her forehead as she wondered why she was stopped by the servants each time she visited. Only when her visit was announced was she allowed to enter the house.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Xiao Ruo was cutting Lin Jingxuan’s nails when a servant hurriedly entered. She knew right away that that woman was here again.
“Hubby Xuan, I’ll go hide first.” She put down the nail clipper and hastily hopped off the bed.
“Sir, Ms. Gu is here.”
His face took on an awful shade. “Why is she here again? Let her in.”
“Yes, sir.”
A few minutes later, Gu Feirou walked into the bedroom with the bone broth. “Are you feeling better today, Brother Jingxuan?”
“Xiao Rou.” He tenderly reached out for her hand.
“Does your wound still hurt?”
“No, it no longer hurts.”
“I made some bone broth for you. Try it and see if you like it.” The woman carefully scooped out some soup into a bowl.
“Brother Jingxuan, my mother will be coming over soon. You have to recover quickly and go back to the Blue Tower with me.”
Lin Jingxuan was stunned to hear that. “The Blue Tower Queen is coming?”
“Yes. Jing Xinze failed to sue Mo Jiangye, and our lawyer ended up getting killed by him instead. Plus, my mother wants to bring me back as soon as possible since I cannot allow my eye condition to drag on any longer.”
Remorse filled his voice as he apologized. “I’m sorry, Xiao Rou! I could have successfully caught that b*tch if she hadn’t played tricks on me. It’s due to my carelessness that I failed to get you her cornea.”
“You’re not at fault here, Brother Jingxuan. It’s all Ye Erruo’s fault. She has become a manipulative, scheming b*tch. Try it.” She carefully blew at the soup before delivering a spoonful to his mouth.
“How does it taste?”
“It’s delicious. Your hands are so skillful that whatever you make tastes delicious. Even so, you should leave this arduous task to the servants. I can’t bear to let you do the cooking. My heart will ache.”
Sweetness erupted in her heart when she heard his sweet words. “I don’t feel comfortable leaving the cooking to the servants. After all, the soup is for you. I’ll only feel assured when I do the cooking myself. Brother Jingxuan, you have to get better as soon as possible.”
“Fret not. Even if it’s not for my sake, I’ll try to recover quickly for your sake and for your eyes.” He reached out and lovingly caressed her eyes.
The smiling woman continued feeding him the soup bit by bit.
As she took a piece of paper napkin and was about to turn her head around, she saw a necklace caught in a small crack in the bed frame.
