Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 156 Let’s go home

*knock knock*
Ting, had just finished packing the last of his things. Hearing the knock, he turns around with the help of his crutches. Seeing who it is, his eyes widen.
"Miss Han...."
Yue Ling enters the room with a beautiful and graceful smile. She looks at Ting, then seeing his bag, she frowns.
"Ting, you haven't recovered, why are you leaving?"
"I....." Ting didn't know how to explain his situation, however, looking at his idol, he sighs. Forcing a smile, he told her the truth, "I can't pay the medical fees..."
Yue Ling's frown deepens. Looking a Ting, she walks over to him. "It's okay, I'm the one covering the expenses."
"..."
Ting looks at Yue Ling and his eyes widen. His body went limp and he sits on the bed. Both the crutches in his hands falls to the ground. His idol not only saved him, but she's paying his medical expenses too?
Walking forward, Yue Ling bent down to pick up the crutches. After setting it next to Ting, she sits on a chair.
"I know what you're thinking, I don't expect you to pay me back. However..." She looks at Ting, and continues, "I do expect you to recover well. That's all I ask in return."
"..."
Seeing the boy loss for words, Yue Ling smiles at him. She knows that he is still doubting her words. It isn't everyday that you'd encounter someone who will freely help you.
"Ting, I know you lost your parents..."
Hearing those words, Ting felt helpless. He clench his fist and growl, "Don't pity me."
He had woke up this morning and decided to leave because he knew hospital expenses were very expensive. How can he, a boy who just enter college be able to pay the large figure? Not only that, he hasn't even hold a funeral for his parents. He planned to leave the hospital after using whatever money he had left, then go to a homeless shelter... Looking at Yue Ling, he held his tears back and clench his teeth.
"I don't know why you're helping me, but I don't want your sympathy."
Looking at him, Yue Ling's heart tightens more. What she's doing for Ting is not out of pity.... She takes a deep breath and looks away from Ting.
"I lost my parents too."
"....."
Ting looks up with red eyes. Yue Ling turn her head to the window and she smiled faintly.
"I lost my parents when I was ten years old. So... I know the feeling you're feeling right now. The feeling of losing a huge piece in your heart."
"....."
Ting's lips trembling as he tries to hold back the urge to cry. He doesn't want anyone to see him cry, especially not his idol.
Seeing his red eyes, Yue Ling's heart softened. She stood from the chair and sits next to him. Lifting her hand, she pats his head. Her soft and angelic voice enters Ting's ears.
"It's okay to cry. I won't judge you and neither will anyone else."
As her last word fell, Ting who had been trying so hard not cry, let's everything loose. He didn't silently cry, but wailed as if his life deepened on it.
"Why.... Why me? I haven't done anything... Why my parents.. why my family?"
Yue Ling kept quiet and let Ting cry his heart out. She knows that he has been secretly crying alone. He wasn't only in mourning, he was also in pain. For him, he had lost everything at once....
When she lost her parents, she had also blamed the world for being cruel and unfair...

At exactly 7pm, Yue Ling's white BMW was parked right outside in front of De L'amour. Lu Tian stepped out from the driver side and leaned against the car. He takes a cigarette out and lights it. Taking a puff, he looks at the double door and wait for his wife.
After his third cigarette, Lu Tian looks at the watch on his wrist. Seeing the time, the space between his brows crease into three lines. It's been 15 minutes and his wife hasn't come out. Looking at the closed doors, he pursed his lips. His mind debating if he should go in or not.
Deciding not to go in, he lights his fourth cigarette. Slowly smoking it, he waits some more.
Next came the fifth and then the sixth. Just when he was about to take the seventh cigarette out, he puts it away. Lifting his left hand, he pinch the space between his brows. Running out of patience, he decides to go in. Who knows what could of happened to his wife.
Taking a step forward, the doors to De L'amour opens and a tall graceful figure walks out. Her beauty was like a fairy in the heavens. Everything about her was like god had taken his sweet time to sculpt her into the perfect woman. However, Lu Tian stare at the woman dumbfounded.
"Sorry. Sorry."
Yue Ling pants as she ran out from the door. Stopping three feet away from Lu Tian, she slightly bent over. With one hand on her knee, her other hand pats her chest then stretches out to the man.
"I was too caught up with work, I forgot the time."
She spoke each word while trying to catch her breath. She did not expect that coming back from Union Hospital, she'd run into rush hour. Not only that, the traffic wasn't going anywhere, so instead of waiting, she got out of the car and ran back to De L'amour. Good thing she made it back in time....
"Uh....."
When her eyes met Lu Tian's dark eyes, she knew she was wrong. She most definitely did not make it back in time.
"Tian....?"
Lu Tian stare at Yue Ling for a good minute. Not saying a word, he walks over to her and takes her hand.
"Let's go home."
"..."
Yue Ling stare at the indifferent man speechlessly. Is he angry? Wait... how long did he wait for?
She didn't know when or how, but she was already sitting inside the car. Just when she turn to look at Lu Tian, he leaned over, making her heart thump at high speed.
"W-wait. Were in the car-ar...."
Yue Ling was dumbfounded. How could she let her imagination run completely wild?!!!
Hearing her words, Lu Tian couldn't help but let out a low chuckle. He grab the seatbelt and buckle his wife in. Turning his head to her, he steals a quick kiss before sitting back in the driver seat. He enjoys her look when he sneaks a kiss. Starting the car, he drives forward.
"What do you want to eat for dinner?"
"...."
Yue Ling's brain was not cooperating at the moment. She stare at the man in the driver seat and couldn't help but wonder.... Just how much shameless does he have inside his brain....
