Chapter 167
Cheng Lydia accompanied Lim Toby back to The Lim Family mansion, where she heard the sound of a little baby crying from a distance.
“Listen to how brightly the baby cries.” Cheng Lydia said with a big smile.
“Definitely not an easy character when he grows up.” Lim Toby smiled lightly.
“Yeah, as good as you are.” Cheng Lydia got out of the car first and the driver immediately moved the wheelchair out of the trunk and worked with Cheng Lydia to move Lim Toby into the wheelchair.
“Brother is back.” Lim Edith, who had just come out of the house, saw Lim Toby and Cheng Lydia and came up with a smile, “Brother, you don’t even know how bad those two little guys are, they cry when I touch him and just cling to Mom and Sister Ann.”
She finally doesn’t have to intentionally call Feng Ann sister-in-law in front of Cheng Lydia.
Lim Toby smiled faintly, “Maybe it’s the smell of your perfume that turns them off?”
“Not at all, I haven’t worn perfume in days for them.” Lim Edith approached, “Sister Lydia, let me take my brother to see the little baby.”
“Good.” Cheng Lydia stepped to the side, and Lim Edith pushed Lim Toby back inside.
Cheng Lydia entered the house and heard Mrs. Lim’s voice from inside the kitchen and walked in as she did.
Mrs. Lim was fixing lunch with her aunt when she saw Cheng Lydia come in and smiled, “Lydia, you’re here.”
Cheng Lydia nodded and walked up, “Auntie, let me help you.”
“No, there’s nothing to do here.” Mrs. Lim pushed her out the door.
Auntie smiled and said, “Madam, you and Ms Cheng go out and talk, I’ll be fine here.”
“Fine.” Mrs. Lim led Cheng Lydia out of the kitchen and into the living room where she sat down.
Lim Toby and the others were all inside with the little baby, and Mrs. Lim glanced at the laughter-ridden inner room, tears gradually clouding her eyes, and said bitterly, “And I wonder how many more days Lim Toby will last.”
Cheng Lydia grabbed her hand, but didn’t know how to comfort her.
“Lydia, thank you for being able to come back to him, I haven’t seen him this happy in a long time.”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“Mom, don’t say that.” Cheng Lydia tightened her palm, “Back when I had no one to turn to, it was you and Lim Toby who took me in and helped me, and I remember when the real first you said that even if I didn’t marry Lim Toby, I was still a member of The Lim Family and a daughter of The Lim Family. Since we are a family, we must of course share the same fate, and … I have missed many days of being with Lim Toby.”
Mrs. Lim sighed softly, “If Lim Toby hadn’t been sick, you two would have been in love and the home wouldn’t have been filled with sadness everywhere.”
“Mom, aren’t the births of the little ones meant to add joy to the family, don’t you be sad.”
“Well, no sadness.”
“Come on, let’s go see the little darlings together.” Cheng Lydia got up from the couch and headed inside with Mrs. Lim.
Inside the house, Feng Ann sat against the bed and looked at Lim Toby’s smiling face with a smile of relief on her face. It had been a long time since she had seen Lim Toby smile, and since Cheng Lydia’s return and the birth of the baby, he looked much better and a smile could often be seen on his face.
“Toby, it’s time to name the kids.” Feng Ann said with a smile.
“Yeah, brother, the babies don’t have names yet.” Lim Edith, who was teasing the kids, turned back to Lim Toby.
“The name your brother has already picked out.” Cheng Lydia smilingly walked over while taking out a paper card from inside her bag and handed it to Feng Ann, “This is what Lim Toby decided down, see if you like it.”
“Let’s see.” Lim Edith jerked the paper card over as soon as she could and read, “Lim James, Lim Alice.”
Feng Ann thought about it and smiled, “I think it’s great.”
“Let’s go with those two names then.” Lim Toby said.
“Yay! The little ones finally have names.” Lim Edith took the little baby’s tiny hands, “Brother’s name is James and sister’s name is Alice.”
“Well, let’s get out of here.” Lim Toby reluctantly pulled his gaze back from James and Alice.
“Good.” Lim Edith pushed to walk over to push the wheelchair.
Seeing Lim Toby about to leave, Feng Ann suddenly spoke, “Wait a minute.”
“What’s wrong, Sister Ann.”
Feng Ann looked at Lim Toby with an expectant look in her eyes, “Toby, can we take a family photo?”
Lim Toby was stunned, then looked down at himself and said, “I’d … rather not shoot in this condition.”
Cheng Lydia saw the sudden loss on Feng Ann’s face and was busy smiling, “You can sit for the picture, and besides, Toby, you haven’t even been photographed with James and Alice yet.”
“I’ll get the camera.” Lim Edith turned and ran out to get the camera.
“Then I’ll go change my outfit and get dressed.” Feng Ann happily walked off the bed and found her favorite outfit from the closet and went into the dressing room.
Feng Ann changed her clothes, brushed her hair, and sat on the couch with Lim Toby, a little baby in each hand.
“Brother, you take off your mask.” Lim Edith said, holding up the camera.
Cheng Lydia walked up to help Lim Toby take his mask off, and seeing the concern on his face, reassured him with a smile, “Just a few pictures, it’s okay.”
After taking several photos of the family of four in a row, Cheng Lydia walked up and took the camera from Lim Edith’s hand, “You and Mom go too, I’ll take your shots.”
“Okay.” Lim Edith pulled Mrs. Lim: “Mom, let’s go take a family picture,”
Mrs. Lim and Lim Edith sat one on each side of Feng Ann and Lim Toby and Cheng Lydia took many shots in a row before stopping.
“Well, it’s time for Lim Toby to get tired, send him to his room to rest.” Feng Ann was reluctant to do so, but her heart ached for him to be too tired.
Lim Toby was sent to the makeshift bedroom on the first floor to rest, Cheng Lydia pulled the covers for him and smiled, “Take a nap, I’ll call you at dinner time.”
Lim Toby did get a little tired and nodded at her, “You go upstairs and rest too, it’s still the same bedroom.”
“Good.” Cheng Lydia replied.
She wasn’t really tired at all, and didn’t really need to rest, but she couldn’t resist heading up to the second floor and back to the bedroom she had once lived in.
The bedroom was originally Lim Toby’s, and then when she got married, she took it for granted, while Lim Toby went to the study next door.
The bedroom was the same as it had been when she had left, nothing had changed, even some of the clothes and household items she hadn’t been able to take with her were in their original state. However, there were more items that belonged to Lim Toby in the closet and on the desk, so apparently Lim Toby had moved back in after she left.
She sat alone on the sofa for a long, long time …
After a flurry of pleas from Old Mrs. Shen, Shen Ron finally returned from Yang June’s bedroom to his own.
Zhang Jane and Amy helped him sit against the bed, and Zhang Jane instructed Amy, “You stay here with the old lady and watch the youngest, I’ll go down and get something to eat.”
“Good.” Amy nodded.
After Zhang and left, the old lady asked Amy to pour Shen Ron a glass of water.
Amy turned around and found a large envelope on the bedside table, and the word ‘June’ written on the bottom right corner of the envelope. She froze for a moment, picked up the envelope and handed it to Shen Ron, “Young Master, this is the letter the young lady left for you.”
The letter … Shen Ron s brow twitched and he lifted his hand to take it.
There were three envelopes inside the large envelope, and they were addressed to Shen Ron, Mrs. Yang and Cheng Lydia in person.
Shen Ron opens the one with his name on it, and the letter reveals a sadness in every word: Ron, I hope I’m gone from this world by the time you read this letter, because that would mean my plan worked.
Ron, thank you so much for being there all these days and for helping me fulfill all my dreams in my last life. So that I could marry you, have you, have candlelight dinners with you, watch movies with you and see the ocean with you …
I remember the first time I saw you was when you spoke at our school as a representative of the city’s best students when you were fourteen, and I watched you from the stage, since I was obsessed. Then my mom received an invitation to your birthday party and I was ecstatic, thinking I would finally get to know you. I was not able to attend your birthday because I had chicken pox on my face, so my mom had to get Lydia to attend instead of me. Ron, you must be surprised to see this, you must have felt a lot of things wrong during this time, yes, I am not the June you know, Lydia is. In fact, Lydia is my half-sister, the two of us have been close since we were kids, that’s why my sister agreed to attend the party instead of me, as for what happened during the party, I’m not sure, but later I heard my sister say that she got into trouble during the party, such as stealing away from The Shen Family and met you who slit your wrists at the lake. The girl who saved you, helped you come out of the shadows and got your heart was not me, it was my sister, and this is a secret that I have been hiding in my heart and dare not open. When you asked Mrs. Shen to get through to the Yang family before you returned to China and decided to marry your June, mom was delighted to say yes, and that time happened to be the day when my sister lost her memory and disappeared in a car accident. Please forgive me for selfishly accepting your proposal instead of my sister and marrying you instead of her, because I really like you.
