The Identity of the Mysterious Man

Aunt Lin was very puzzled at this moment.

"No, I asked the nurse. The nurse said that the man was wearing a duckbill cap and a mask. They didn’t see his face clearly, but they only knew that he was a tall young man," she said.

Lin Wan didn’t ask any further and just told her to quickly give the phone to the hospital director grandma.

Grandma sounded like a child who had done something wrong, her voice small.

"A young man asked if I was lost, and then he brought me back to the hospital and left," she said.

Lin Wan was even more curious about the identity of the mysterious man.

"Okay, Grandma, you must rest well now. You must not run around again. I'll come to see you when I have time. If you don’t listen to me, I'll be angry!" The girl’s voice slightly rose. Although she was threatening, her tone was soft, more like she was acting spoiled.

The old woman agreed repeatedly and kept telling her to take care of herself and not to worry about her all the time.

Lin Wan didn’t say whether it was good or bad. She just said she was busy and hung up the phone.

At the moment the call ended, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling all the tension and anxiety of the day disappear.

Immediately after, she sent a text message to the owner of that number.

"Whoever you are, and whatever your purpose was for helping me, thank you."

Her heart was filled with the joy of regaining what she had lost, and she was surrounded by it. Even the pain in her lower abdomen seemed to have eased a lot.

But when she thought of the child in her belly, she slowly lay down and gently stroked her stomach, her expression tender.

Huo Tingxiao looked at the gentle smile on her face, feeling a strange surge in his heart.

But before he could figure out where that strangeness came from, he saw that she had already turned her back to him and seemed to have fallen asleep.

He withdrew his gaze and pretended as if nothing had happened, continuing to do his own thing.

At noon, the servants brought lunch and three bowls of Chinese medicine.

One of the bowls was for Huo Tingxiao, and the other two were for Lin Wan.

The servants were afraid that Lin Wan wouldn’t want to drink them, so they spoke kindly, "Madam, these medicines were all prescribed by the doctor to ensure the safety of the child. The old master instructed us to make sure you drink them all so that the child can grow well in your belly."

Lin Wan touched her stomach and smiled tenderly. "Don’t worry, I’ll drink them all."

For the sake of her child, she could endure any hardship, let alone a few bowls of Chinese medicine.

The servants, despite her quick agreement, still didn’t trust her and stood at a distance, watching her finish her meal and drink the medicine before leaving.

As Lin Wan sat on the bed, picking up the two bowls of dark medicine and drinking them without a word, Huo Tingxiao couldn’t help but smirk.

"It seems that Miss Lin really values the wild seed in her belly."

Lin Wan ignored his sarcasm and lay down slowly. She couldn’t afford to be careless or emotional at this critical moment.

Huo Tingxiao was annoyed that she had ignored him, but then he calmed down, perhaps thinking of something.

In the afternoon, Lin Wan received a call from her aunt, saying that she had found a caregiver for her grandmother and had already paid her one month’s salary in advance.

Lin Wan was shocked. Her aunt’s husband had passed away, and she had two children to support, making life difficult for her.

"Auntie, how can you spend your money like this? I have money. Take the money back, and I’ll transfer it to you right now!"

She was about to send the money, but her aunt stopped her.

"Xia Xia, I know your intentions. You’ve helped me and the orphanage for so many years. You can’t bear all the difficulties alone. Don’t worry, I have money, and I also want to do something for the orphanage director."

Lin Wan understood her intention, but she was still worried about her. After hesitating for a while, she decided to transfer a few thousand yuan to her.

Lin Yi was surprised and wanted to transfer the money back, but Lin Wan stopped her with a smile.

"Lin Yi, I won’t compete with you for the caregiver’s fee. Consider this my contribution to buying food and supplies for Grandma and the children in the orphanage. You must accept it."

After hearing this, Lin Yi didn’t say anything else and only reminded her to take care of herself and visit the hospital often when she had time.

Lin Wan smiled and agreed. After hanging up the phone, she received a bank message reminding her that her last month’s payment had been deposited.

Although it wasn’t much, it was enough to support the orphanage for a while. However, it still wasn’t enough. She needed to earn more money to solve the problems caused by poverty.

After thinking for a while, she found a number in her contacts and sent a text message to the person. The person on the other end agreed readily and said they would contact her when there was an opportunity.

Lin Wan held her phone, feeling warm and hopeful. She felt that after all the hardships she had endured, she finally saw a glimmer of hope.

Huo Tingxiao looked at her and carefully observed her appearance. As Lin’s adopted daughter, and with the Lin and Huo families now equally matched, she shouldn’t be in such a difficult situation.

However, her wrinkled dress and cheap bag revealed something that couldn’t be ignored.

She wasn’t doing well.

And these days, he hadn’t heard her talk to anyone from the Lin family but had been dealing with people from the orphanage.

Could it be that the rumors were false, and she wasn’t abandoned by the Lin family because of being pregnant out of wedlock, but because she had never been valued?

His gaze involuntarily fell on her, and she quickly noticed it. When Huo Tingxiao saw her looking at him with those cold eyes, he turned his head almost angrily.

This shameless woman—whether she was doing well or not had nothing to do with him!

Lin Wan looked at his angry face but couldn’t help feeling bitter inside.

She always remembered how resolutely he refused her when she begged him so desperately.

He said he wouldn’t believe a word she said.

Perhaps in his heart, she was a despicable and shameless woman who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

She smiled bitterly in silence, and the bitterness in her heart surged like a tsunami. If it weren’t for the child in her belly, if it weren’t for her promise to her grandfather…

But her heart was still full of wounds from being hurt over and over again.

Huo Tingxiao, I never knew that loving you would be such a difficult thing.

She allowed herself to be sad for a moment, but after that moment, she was the unstoppable Lin Wan.

No one could bring her down.
