Chapter 61 – So, he had to be very, very cautious and careful (3)
Ye Zhen had put her heart and soul into taking care of him. She was very thoughtful and caring. She made sure he wasn’t too hot or too cool or uncomfortable from lying in bed all day. She even learned how to massage from the professional caretakers and would massage him all day.
William had even said there was a correlation between Ye Zhen’s meticulous care and his quick recovery.
During that one month period, Ye Zhen had significantly decreased the amount of resentment and anger he was feeling.
Ye Zhen should feel exhausted after spending the entire day massaging him. Logically, a person should be able to sleep well if he or she was physically exhausted. But, Ye Zhen’s sleep was always troubled. She would frequently wake up because of nightmares and babble nonsense in her sleep.
Drinking milk before bedtime would ensure that she would get a good night’s sleep.
Lying next to Ye Zhen, he placed his hand on Ye Zhen’s flat belly. A small life was being nurtured inside there. That little life belonged to him and Ye Zhen.
Whether the baby was a boy or girl, he would do a good job to educate this child so that it would grow up to be a kind person like its mother. He would be a good father to this child. He wouldn’t repeat his parents’ mistakes and cause this child to suffer like he had growing up.
In the past, she had been the one to take care of him. She had gotten rid of Lu Beifan for him. The favor that he owed her for this, he would pay it back to her during the rest of their lives.
The cell phone at the head of the bed rang. Lu Beichuan got out of bed and walked to a window to take the call.
“Mr. Lu. We’ve caught that person. How should that person be dealt with?”
A year ago, he was in full control of the Lu family. At that time, when there wasn’t a competitor close to being his equal, and no business person dared to oppose him, his own father had schemed against him just for the sake of seizing control.
Lu Beichuan searched his soul for what he would do next. He was a vengeful person. Moreover, there were no familial affection left between him and his father after the past several years of competing for power. He and his father might as well be separated by a mountain and river. They both harbored sinister thoughts against each other. Paternal affection had stopped being an important thing to Lu Beichuan a long time ago.
The first part of his life had been passed without anything remarkable, but now he had found someone that was precious to him.
He thought of Ye Zhen’s previous warning to him: “Absolutely don’t do anything that’s illegal. Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re very powerful. No matter how powerful you are, you can’t escape from being punished by the law!”
He walked back to the bed and leaned over to look at Ye Zhen, who was sweetly sleeping. She turned over and her slender arm was sprawled right over his usual sleeping spot. The peacefully sleeping Ye Zhen was partially illuminated by a beam of moonlight.
Lu Beichuan couldn’t resist gently smiling, even his voice was softer than usual when he quietly said, “Hand him over to the police. Everything will be done according to the law.”
“Hand him to the police?” The person on the other side of the call couldn’t help but feel stunned.
If news got out that a member of a prestigious family had attempted to murder his son for the sake of power, the family would become a laughingstock. Old Master Lu was someone that greatly valued established traditions and reputation. He definitely wouldn’t want more people to know about this matter. The subordinate thought that the best option was to hand over the witness and evidence to Old Master Lu. If Old Master Lu privately dealt Lu Shaoren, Lu Beichuan would benefit from Old Master Lu feeling guilty towards his grandson.
However, Lu Beichuan’s order was clear, so the subordinate didn’t dare to voice his question again. The subordinate acknowledge the order and ended the call.
Lu Beichuan understood why the person at the other end of the call would feel confused.
In the past, he had been a single person so he could do as he pleased. But now, it was different.
He put the phone down, lied back down on the bed, and gently stroke Ye Zhen’s flat belly.
Right now, he had a pregnant wife. He couldn’t do things without caring about consequences as he had in the past. What had happened to him in the past like the car accident, it absolutely couldn’t be allowed to happen on Ye Zhen.
So, he had to be very, very cautious and careful.
