And also, about that scar on your face..." "The scar, I know how to deal with it." Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "That’s good, that’s good." She had just hung up the phone when Lin’s mother called. Lin Yixun composed herself, trying to sound unruffled, "Mom, I’m already at the hospital, about to enter the ward." Compared to a few days ago, her mother’s condition had stabilized a lot, with even her complexion improving considerably. She consoled herself bit by bit, telling herself that compared to her mother’s life, what did that film of skin matter? "Mom, I’ve been assigned some overtime at the last minute, so I’ll be staying at the company tonight. Don’t wait up for me," said Lin Yixun, feeling somewhat relieved that the past few years had honed her lying skills. A flash of pain crossed Lin’s mother’s eyes, and after a long while, she nodded, "Alright, take care on your way." "Okay." Lin Yixun nodded, softly telling her mother, "When I’m not around, you should go to bed early. Also, the hospital air conditioning is set low, so make sure you keep yourself well covered at night... and don’t try to check yourself out secretly without me!" "I know, I know!" Lin’s mother smiled as she watched Lin Yixun leave. It was only when her figure disappeared from the doorway that she slowly retracted her gaze. A fellow patient beside her couldn’t help but praise, "Your daughter is so filial. How I wish I had such a dutiful and well-behaved daughter as well." Lin’s mother smiled and nodded, "To have this daughter, I don’t know how many lifetimes of fortune I must have accumulated. But let me tell you, Xiao Xun wasn’t always like she is now, she used to be quite mischievous!" "Really? I can’t tell. She really has changed so much." "Yes." The smile on Lin’s mother’s face slowly faded, replaced by worry and heartache, "I wish she could always stay the way she used to be, even if she was mischievous and willful, she was at least carefree." Two hours later, Lin Yixun arrived at the hotel AXing had given her. This was the only Seven-star Hotel in T City. It was said that even the cheapest room here cost several thousand a night. Lin Yixun curled her lips in self-mockery. What did it matter if it was resplendent and magnificent? Who knew how many dirty deals had taken place in this hotel? In the past, whenever she heard of such things, she would sneer in disdain. With hands and feet, there were countless ways to make money, how could one use their body as capital to sell? Now, she suddenly realized how naive she had been back then. When faced with desperation, a person could do anything. What did dignity and shame matter? Dignity couldn’t save her loved ones, but money could! Without realizing it, she had entered the elevator. Lin Yixun pressed the floor button forcefully, but no matter how many times she pressed it, it wouldn’t light up. She found, with despair, that no matter how much mental preparation she did, her fingers began to tremble uncontrollably. A woman beside her, who couldn’t stand it anymore, asked in a deep voice, "Miss, which floor are you going to?" Lin Yixun opened her mouth and finally found her voice, "Seven, thank you!" The elevator ascended steadily, Lin Yixun’s eyes were fixed on the constantly changing numbers in front of her, but her heart sank lower and lower. With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened. Lin Yixun’s gaze fell on the carpet in the corridor. She stared at it for a few seconds, finally made herself take her first stiff step out. After leaving the hospital, she had gone home and dressed up specifically, hoping that this would improve Young Master Jun’s appetite.
