Dad, the cast is on now, and for the next month or so, you wont be able to walk properly. Its uncertain if you can fully recover afterward, how can it be okay? Dont try to comfort me! Gu Zi was at a loss for words. The person who had brought him here had said the doctor mentioned his father might end up with a limp. How could things possibly be okay?
With that, Gu Zits tears, which she had been holding back, finally broke free and she wept uncontrollably.
Seeing Gu Zits tears, Su Le, who had been playing on her own, hurried over to her. She stretched out her little hands to touch Gu Zis cheeks and said in her baby voice, Mama, no no! Gu Zi knew she meant Mama, dont cry, and felt a warmth in her heart.
She picked up her daughter and quickly wiped away her tears, hiding her face behind her small body. She had been unable to hold back her tears earlier.
Seeing this, Mother Lin couldnt help but shed tears as well. After a moment of consideration, she said, Gu Zi, I beg you and Su Shen to do something for me. This time, we mustnt let Lin Jie off the hook!
Gu Zi finally lifted his head. Mom, even without you telling me, I was going to report this to the police.
If something happens once, it can happen again. The Lin familys bullying wasnt a one-time thing. If they continued to tolerate it, such incidents would only keep happening.
Upon hearing Gu Zis intention to report the incident, Father Lin shook his head, saying, Let it go. If this gets to the police, Lin Jie might end up in jail. That would be too harsh, wouldnt it? Im worried
He was worried that if Lin Jie ended up in jail, his younger brother would lose all hope. Their mother would certainly not forgive him.
Although Father Lin knew that his parents and siblings didnt truly love him, the things they had done to him were heartbreaking. But when it came down to it, blood was thicker than water, and he couldnt bear to see them suffer.
Upon hearing Father Lins words, Gu Zi felt a surge of frustration. She held Su Le and stopped speaking.
Mother Lin coldly said, Old Lin, lets be honest here. Has your younger brothers family ever shown you any respect? You promised me that you wouldnt let them bully us anymore. Youre worried about Lin Jie, but does Lin Jie see you as his uncle?
Gu Zi knew that her father was too kind-hearted and valued brotherhood too much, which was why he was acting this way. She was angry, but hearing Mother Lins words, she realized her father wasnt beyond hope. She could give him another chance.
If he insisted on upholding his so-called family and brotherly bonds, she would let Lin Jie go. If it came to it, she would simply distance herself from such a father.
She choked back her tears and asked formally, Dad, I respect your opinion. In this matter, do we let it go, or do we follow the legal procedure as we discussed? You decide.
Father Lin looked at his daughters determined eyes, then at his wife. He seemed to understand that if he chose to forgive Lin Jie, he would disappoint his wife once again and risk losing his long-lost daughter.
Eventually, Father Lin gave in to his wife and daughter. He sighed and said, I agree. Well do as you say. Lin Jie needs to learn his lesson.
After Li Hua brought back lunch, the family accompanied Father Lin for a meal. After lunch, Su Shen returned. Gu Zi told him about reporting the incident to the police, and he said, Dont worry, Ive already taken care of it.
Gu Zi was surprised, but considering Su Shens reliability, she didnt find it strange. She said, You rest a bit, Ill go to the hospital cafeteria to get some food for you.
Su Shen held his wifes hand and said, Its late now, there wont be any food left. Come with me to eat outside. Theres a state-owned restaurant nearby.
Gu Zi nodded, and together with Su Le and Su Shen, they went out for a meal. After eating, they returned and went to the payment counter to pay for Father Lins medical fees.
Su Shen also arranged for a rehabilitation nurse to take care of Father Lins leg recovery.
At the police station, because Su Shen personally reported the case, they acted quickly. As soon as Lin Jie and Lin Laoyao arrived at the city station, Lin Jie was arrested in public.
Lin Jie was arrogant when he was arrested, loudly proclaiming his innocence and questioning why he was being arrested.
Lin Laoyao, on the other hand, was scared witless. He had anticipated that Gu Zi and the others might report him to the police, but he didnt expect them to act so quickly!
As Lin Laoyao watched Lin Jie being taken away, his face aged rapidly with worry. After asking the police about Lin Laoers hospital, he hurriedly bought some fruit and went to the hospital..
