Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

Since Cheng Lydia married into The Shen Family, the hospital has helped Cheng Lena switch to a VIP ward at the direction of the elderly woman, with a dedicated caregiver.

Although it was all a trade of interest, Cheng Lydia was still grateful to the old lady at this point.

Cheng Lydia arrived at her mother’s hospital room as usual, and when she pushed the door in, she was startled by a strange woman standing in front of Cheng Lena’s bed.

From the way she was dressed, it appeared to be a noblewoman who stood with her back to the door in front of Cheng Lena’s hospital bed, not speaking, apparently surveying the sleeping Cheng Lena in her bed.

It was only after a long time that the noblewoman spat out coldly, ” Cheng Lena, which of us is more miserable than the other?”

Only a short sentence, and nothing more.

“Greetings.” Cheng Lydia, standing by the door, called out to the noblewoman’s back.

Startled, the noblewoman turned around abruptly and panicked when she saw Cheng Lydia, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.

For the first time, someone other than the paramedics came into Cheng Lena’s room.

For the first time, someone stood in front of Cheng Lena’s hospital bed, weeping in secret.

Cheng Lydia felt her whole heart warm at once, and, surveying the noblewoman she was meeting for the first time in front of her in surprise, asked, “Excuse me, who are you?”

The noblewoman sniffled, wiped the last traces of tears from her face with a tissue, and slowly stepped forward, taking her hand and sizing her up, “Lydia, I heard you’ve lost your memory, is that true? Really you don’t even remember Aunt Helen?”

“Aunt Helen?” asked Cheng Lydia, frowning in thought and shaking her head apologetically, “I’m sorry, I really don’t remember you.”

“I’m Aunt Helen, your mother’s best friend from childhood, and I grew up watching you. Then you and your mum suddenly disappeared and I thought you had gone back home, I never thought …” Aunt Helen said as she shed another tear and her tone began to choke, “I never thought you would be in a car accident and be so badly injured.”

“Aunt Helen …” Cheng Lydia repeatedly whispered the title, although she didn’t remember it, she was still happy to possibly meet what was once familiar to her, her pretty face tinged with a touch of delight as she asked with a smile, “Aunt Helen are you really a good friend of my mother’s? And do you know all about my mother and me in the past?”

After a car accident five years ago, she forgot everything and lost everything, knowing nothing except that she knew her name was Cheng Lydia and her mother’s name was Cheng Lena from an admission letter with her mother’s signature that she found in her coat pocket. All these years she has also wondered what she really looked like five years ago, where her family lived and if she had any other family.

“Of course I know.”

“And Aunt Helen would you mind telling me?”

“It’s okay.” Aunt Helen glanced at Cheng Lena in the hospital bed and smiled, “Let’s talk somewhere else and I’ll tell you everything.”

“Okay, then I’ll call and ask Director Zhang for half a day off.” Cheng Lydia couldn’t wait to pull out the phone and ask Director Zhang for leave, and after hanging up the phone, she said to Aunt Helen with a big smile on her face, “Aunt Helen, let’s go.”

Aunt Helen nodded and led the way to the door of the ward.

Cheng Lydia had just taken two steps when she folded back and took Cheng Lena’s hand, “Mom, I’ll see you later.”

The two went together to a cafe near the hospital and when they ordered, Cheng Lydia immediately spoke up, “Aunt Helen …”

Aunt Helen spoke up and interrupted her, smiling, “Better call me Godmother, you used to call me that.”

“Godmother? Aunt Helen is my Godmother?”

“Well ah, you used to be so clingy.”

“Godmother, I’ve always wondered, do I have any other family? Where is my family?”

When Cheng Lydia asked this question, Aunt Helen had a moment of silence, and finally took her little hand with a sigh and said with a painful face, “Lydia, your parents divorced when you were very young, your father went abroad with his new wife, and you were brought up single-handedly by your mother, who loved you very much, in An Cheng. So you had a happy life growing up.”

The smile on Cheng Lydia’s face dwindled; this really couldn’t be considered good news.

No wonder she took her mother’s surname. It turned out that her father had left her long ago to make a new love and go to a distant foreign country.

“You got into LS City Medical University when you were eighteen, and your mom said she’d quit the house and go back home when you lived in school so she could save money on rent, and I think the car accident happened in early September, the day your mom dropped you off at school, right?”

“Yes, it was October when I woke up, and the doctor handed me an admission notice, saying it was the only thing left on me.” Cheng Lydia said sadly.

She later went to Binda University to look for traces of Cheng Lydia, but because so much time had passed, Binda University had removed Cheng Lydia’s name from its files and there was no way to find her.

Then later, with the help of Lim Toby, she enrolled in medical school at Bin University and gradually gave up searching for her past and accepted a new life.

“When you two disappeared suddenly, I thought you had gone back home together, and I suddenly missed you recently before I started to mobilize all my connections to find you from the list of graduates from Binda University, only to find out that you graduated a year early to work at Yarn, and only recently did I find out that you were in a car accident.” Aunt Helen smiled and added, “Our Lydia is just better than others, it’s only been a few short years and she’s already an attending doctor at Yarn Hospital.”

Cheng Lydia inhaled bitterly, she was indeed better than others, but she also put in hundreds of times more effort than others, while her classmates were busy falling in love and dressing themselves up. Instead, she could only study hard day and night, trying to finish her credits early to get a job early and earn money for her mother’s treatment early. When she was only a sophomore, she got into Yahn part-time through Lim Toby’s connections and finished her studies early while working half-time.

“Godmother, thank you for always caring about us.” She said gratefully.

Aunt Helen shook her head with a guilty look on her face, “I was too late in caring and put you all through so much, I heard from The Lim Family that you married Shen Ron did you?”

Cheng Lydia nodded, her grip on the cup tightening.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She hadn’t wanted to mention it, but she hadn’t expected Aunt Helen to have investigated everything about her so well.

“I’ve heard that Shen Ron’s been deeply in love with his sick ex-wife’s and that his ex-wife lives at The Shen Family, would you feel aggravated by that?”

“No way, Shen Ron treats me with respect.”

“Well then, if you can’t stay at The Shen Family anymore get a divorce and come to Godmother and let Godmother take care of you.”

“Thank you Godmother,” Cheng Lydia said as her eyes dropped and a mist of tears filled them.

How long had it been since someone had cared for her like this? Apart from Chung Grace, there was no one else who would care for her, but today she suddenly had a Godmother to love her.

Her heart, literally, was touched.

Coming out of the cafe, Cheng Lydia’s heart was half happy and half sad.

She was sad that her father had abandoned her and her mother, and rejoiced that she and her mother had another person around them who truly loved them.

Back in the hospital room, Cheng Lydia gazed at the sleeping Cheng Lena and smiled, “Mom, should I believe that God has eyes and accept the hospital’s treatment plan like Shen Ron did?”

“Mom, would you like to live a life like that? Get up every morning and go for a morning walk, bring home two breakfasts after the morning walk, laugh and scold and push me out of my sleep and tell me I’m late for work. While I’m at work, you can do some cleaning and watch TV at home, go out shopping when you’re bored, buy a bunch of vegetables from the market when the sun goes down, cook a delicious dinner, and we’ll both talk while we eat, and I’ll catch up on TV shows with you after dinner or go for a walk. When I have a baby, we’ll be around him together, tired and happy, and when the baby can run and jump, you’ll have another companion, you can take him to the park, to the rocking car, to …”

Cheng Lydia’s voice caught at the back of her throat and she couldn’t say it anymore.

This life is too fantastical, too unrealistic.

Her baby is destined to be born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and there will be a whole lot of people to spoil him and love him. And then it would be time for her to leave The Shen Family, and even she might not see her baby every day, let alone someone else …

She pressed her fist against her lips and calmed down a little before continuing, “Mom, no matter what, I will always love you.”

The sleeping Cheng Lena, as usual, did not respond in the slightest, slumbering quietly.
