Chapter 1119: These Two Children Are Yours
After about an hour, so long that Lu Xueman couldn’t wait any longer, she got out of the car: "Lu Heng, how much longer do you want to wait for them? You’ve already been kind enough to let them meet, what more do you want?"
Lu Heng looked at his mother and gave a faint smile: "Mom, please get back in the car."
Lu Xueman, impatient and about to say something, saw two women walking over from a distance with children.
Though they were somewhat close, the sadness on their faces was undeniable. Lu Xueman watched them, feeling a headache coming on. Disheartened women are as hard as stone. She quickly got back into the car, leaving just one sentence: "Lu Heng, be careful not to catch a cold."
Lu Heng lowered his eyes and chuckled softly.
Soon, the two women approached, their faces tear-streaked, and the faces of the two boys were filled with confusion, having probably realized that their father was gone and that no one would take care of them anymore.
Children of just a few years old might indeed be quite scared.
Lu Heng, sitting there, appeared even more composed than ice and snow, and although the two women were of the same age as him, they were a little afraid since they were Lu Ze’s mistresses. The two children were even more frightened of him, even at their young age, they already understood what being illegitimate meant.
In the end, it was Lu Heng who spoke first. He picked up two checks from the blanket on his knees, looked up at the two women: "These are two checks for thirty million each, as compensation for you. Additionally, I will have someone deposit a hundred thousand into your accounts each month... After all... the children are still young."
The two women hesitated, hope rising in their eyes.
Although Lu Ze had taken care of them, the house was rented, and in the end, they merely ate and lived better without having anything else. They had heard that Lu Ze’s son was difficult to deal with, and hadn’t expected him to treat them like this.
Lu Heng smiled again: "Take them. If you need anything, you can find me. In the future, I’ll be residing in Beicheng."
The two women trembled as they took the checks, and after a while, one of the women bravely said: "Dr. Lu... could you... take care of these two children?"
As she spoke, she looked at Lu Heng cautiously, afraid that not only would he refuse but also retract the benefits he had promised. The two little children, already terrified, clung to their mother.
Lu Heng was also taken aback, not expecting this. But soon, he understood that these two women likely had planned it from the start. If possible, they wanted to hand the children over to the Lu Family, as they wanted to remarry.
Lu Heng gave a slight smile, "You don’t want them anymore?"
The women were silent, but their attitude was clear.
The two children were terrified and finally began to cry while clinging to their mother...
Lu Heng did not like children, nor did he have patience, but at this moment, he looked at the two exceptionally attractive children and felt a bit of compassion. He spoke calmly: "Would you like to live with me?"
The two children were still crying, and though the women were reluctant, they still sent the children over to Lu Heng...
The scene was somewhat awkward.
The woman took the checks, wiped her tears, and said, "Thank you, Dr. Lu. We will come to see them when we have the time."
Though they said that, Lu Heng knew in his heart that this departure meant they would never return.
He looked at the two young children beside him and gently said, "Go and say goodbye to your mommy."
The two children were at a loss, their small, crystal-clear faces covered with tears. It took them a long time before they timidly said goodbye to their mother.
They were too young to know that this separation was for forever... The women were still young, not yet thirty, and still hoped to find their own happiness; taking children along with them was hardly a dignified situation.
The women soon left, leaving the two children behind.
In a world of blinding white, everything was silent except for the sobbing of the two children.
At this moment, Lu Xueman impatiently got out of the car, just about to ask Lu Heng if they could leave, only to find the two children left there, while the women vanished without a trace.
She was speechless for a long time before she spoke: "Where are those two women?"
Lu Heng reached out and gently touched the ears of the two children, speaking softly: "I’ll take care of them from now on."
"Lu Heng! Do you know what you’re saying, what you’re doing?" Lu Xueman’s voice was a bit sharp, "You can’t even take care of yourself right now and need to stay in the hospital, how can you take care of two children? Moreover, do you not know what identity they hold?"
Her heart was pounding fiercely: "You’re stabbing a knife into your mother’s heart."
Lu Heng raised his eyes, stared at his mother for a moment, then gave a slight smile: "Whether it’s you or those two women, you’ve all gotten what you wanted, so does anything else matter?"
After a slight pause, he spoke again: "After I’m discharged, I’ll live alone. I won’t bother you."
Lu Xueman opened her mouth, unable to speak for a long time. She felt heartache for her son, though her son believed she couldn’t accept these two bastards. However, she truly couldn’t accept them.
Struggling, Lu Xueman spoke: "Lu Heng, you will need to get married in the future. How can you bring them with you and..."
Lu Heng, with an indifferent expression, touched the ears of the two children, saying nothing...
No matter how much Lu Xueman objected, in the end, the two children stayed. Since Lu Heng had to stay in the hospital, he took them with him. Fortunately, it was a VIP ward with two private rooms, where the two children could squeeze in together, and nurses helped take care of them. Yet Lu Heng wasn’t doing well; he returned to the hospital and had a fever for three days and nights before it finally subsided. It was quite dangerous...
Once his condition improved enough for him to be discharged, he took the two children to a villa. Due to his limited mobility, he stayed on the ground floor. The two children stayed in the adjacent room for easy care.
For this reason, Lu Xueman was displeased, feeling that Lu Heng had distanced himself from her for the sake of two outsiders. Yet, she felt awkward about cohabiting closely with the two children, so she stayed elsewhere but visited from time to time.
During Lu Heng’s rehabilitation period, once he met the requirements, he ordered custom prosthetics. At first, it was uncomfortable, painful, itchy, and sometimes swollen... After several months of adjustment, he could finally walk normally like everyone else, even drive...
He moved to live on the second floor, and the two children moved with him. He opened a pharmaceutical company in Beicheng, and he also set up a laboratory of his own... (briefly mentioned, not detailed~~)
