The Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO-Chapter 685 Xiulan is grateful

Chapter 685 Xiulan is grateful Fu Ling wasn’t too sure anymore because by now, the surgery on her mother should have started so there was no need for her to be crying.

”Xiulan?” Fu Ling called out as he came to stand before her with a confused gaze.

When Xiulan heard her name being called, her mind was too clouded to recognize the voice. But when she slowly looked up and saw Fu Ling’s face, her butt landed on the floor due to the shock.

Never would she have expected to see him here.

”What are you doing on the floor? Are there no sits here?” Fu Ling asked with furrowed brows.

Heating that voice again, Xiulan began to suspect that Fu Ling was the one right in front of her, but to be over clear, she cleaned her tears which made her sight blurry, before looking up again.

It was now that Xiulan realized that he was the one standing right in front of her. She was truly shocked to see him up close, and it was now that her sense of smell started to work.

She could now perceive the familiar perfume used by her former Boss on daily basis.

Seeing that she was too confused to say anything, Fu Ling stretched forth an arm to help her up and she instinctively took his arm and got to her feet.

Fu Ling only let her go when he was sure that she was steady enough to stand by herself. Gazing at her, he asked, “Why are you out here crying, hasn’t the surgery started yet?”

Xiulan nodded, “Yes, it started a few minutes ago.” It was only a few seconds later that she realized the question he had asked. And it was enough did her to guess that he must be her benefactor.

”Your mother will be fine, at least the doctor assured me of that, so stop crying and pray for the surgery to be successful.” Fu Ling advised.

He spoke t the doctor briefly in other to understand her mother’s current state, and the danger she was in.

The doctor had told him that with an hour more delay, her mother would have almost less percent chance of surviving, but because he came at a good time, the surgery will be a success.

”Are you the one that paid for my mother’s surgery?” Xiulan asked after a moment of silence, just to confirm her doubts.

Fu Ling asked her to follow him to go sit over in the reception room. He neither accepted nor rejected her speculation, which boiled down to her confirming that he was her benefactor.

Instead of saying thanks, Xiulan went straight to ask other questions.

”How did you know about my mother’s condition and the fact that I was here?”

”Where do you think I’m coming from?” Fu Ling threw a question back to her. If she couldn’t figure out where she last saw him, then she could forget about getting an answer from him.

Xiulan didn’t need to think too much to find out how he knew her location and her mother’s condition.

When they had taken their seats, she fiddled with her fingers and said with her gaze downwards, “Thank you for coming over to help me. My mother would have lost her chance for a second chance at life if you didn’t help me. Thank you so much for your help, and I promise to repay you.”

”We would talk about your debts later, for now, eat something and have the energy to watch over your mother once she is out from the ER.” Fu Ling said as he handed over the leather he brought with him.

After the doctor left, he stepped out to go buy food for Xiulan from a nearby restaurant. He was sure she hadn’t eaten anything since that day, so he left to buy her something.

Again, Xiulan was surprised by Fu Ling’s gesture, because it was unlike him. The treatment he was giving to her was surely very different from how he treated her when she was still working under him.

Xiulan delayed in receiving the food from him because of her swinging thoughts. “Mr. Fu, you didn’t have to go extra mile for me, you have already helped me enough.”

Fu Ling forced the food into her hands and said with a frown, “It’s definitely because I do not want to handle any more issues that I went out to buy food for you. What if you faint here, who will take care of your mother? You would be a big burden to everybody so eat up and get the strength to do your job.”

With him being harsh with his words, Xiulan accepted the food and thanked him.

”I have somewhere to be now, keep your phone beside you and answer when I call. Also, once the surgery is over, call me.” Fu Ling said as he got to his feet.

He had something else to do, and so he could not accompany her till her mother was pushed out of the ER.

Xiulan was never expecting him to stay and watch with her. I’m fact, it would have been very normal if he had just paid the hospital bills and left immediately, because staying back and buying her a meal, was way out of his league.

Once again, Xiulan thanked Fu Ling and wanted to walk him out, but he rejected her gesture, and instead, reminded her to finish her food.

After Fu Ling disappeared from her sight, Xiulan sat back on the chair and heaved a deep sigh of relief.

Glancing at the food in her hands, she sighed again, before she unwrapped it from the nylon and began to eat.

Now, she had one less problem to worry about, and that was the fact that she couldn’t wait for her mother to come out from the ER.

Xiulan obeyed Fu Ling’s instruction by finishing her food. Her stomach has been empty since morning, and now that there was nothing else that would worry her greatly, she felt the hunger within her and had to finish her food.
