Auntie Zhang was also an honest and kind person. When she heard Chen Lin say this, she was very happy. She was glad that she had finally thought things through.

“Yes, yes, Xiao Lin, you’ve finally thought things through. This is what a girl should do. Love yourself is the priority. You’re not worth hurting yourself for anyone!” Auntie Zhang said quickly.

Chen Lin had thought it through, and Auntie Zhang’s heart relaxed.

She was really afraid that this child would do something on impulse. She was worried all day and did not dare to rest well.

Chen Lin also looked enlightened. She held the lunch box and asked with a smile, “Auntie Zhang is right. Thank you, Auntie Zhang… I’m still very hungry. Is there any more of this Three Fresh Hibiscus Soup?”

Auntie Zhang looked at the lunch box and frowned. “Aiyo, there’s really nothing else. The food Xiao Tian brings over every day is fixed. The food from a few days ago isn’t fresh anymore. It can’t be eaten anymore.”

Chen Lin had a disappointed and hungry expression as she replied, “Ah, I see. It’s a pity. But I’m really hungry. I haven’t eaten for a few days, and my stamina can’t keep up…”

With that, she drooped down and pretended to be sickly.

Auntie Zhang was also a little worried. After all, she had begun to realize that it was a good thing to start wanting to eat. She could not dampen her spirits.

Auntie Zhang looked around and said, “Why don’t you eat a fruit first? Then there are buns in the hospital’s cafeteria downstairs. I’ll buy them for you now?”

Chen Lin pouted in disdain and shook her head. “I’m not eating. I’m very picky. I’ll feel uncomfortable if I eat those things.”

Auntie Zhang did not doubt this. When Huo Tian delivered the meal previously, Auntie Zhang had also told him not to trouble himself. She would just cook.

However, Huo Tian emphasized again and again that Chen Lin was very picky. Some of the dishes she liked had extremely complicated procedures, so he had to cook them himself.

At the thought of this, Auntie Zhang looked troubled. “How can that be good? Even if I call Xiao Tian to cook, he still has to buy ingredients. The seafood market is near the hospital. He came over to buy ingredients. If he makes them again, it’ll be at night. Can you wait?”

Chen Lin shook her head in disappointment and said, “Ah, but my stomach is already growling from hunger. I’ve only eaten this bowl of soup these past few days. I feel like I’m about to faint from hunger…”

As Chen Lin spoke, she leaned back against the bed and looked extremely weak.

She had not recovered to begin with. Her face was yellowish and her lips were dry. She did look quite sickly.

Seeing that Auntie Zhang was still hesitating, Chen Lin sighed again. “Forget it, Auntie Zhang. I’ll endure it. I just don’t know if my body can take it. But it’s okay. What if I’m fine?!”

When Auntie Zhang heard this, she could not sit still anymore. Chen Lin’s health was very poor. She had alcohol poisoning and was not in a good mood. Coupled with malnutrition, if this continued, her life might be in danger at any time. This was what the doctor had emphasized to her over the past few days.

Looking at Chen Lin’s condition, she should have really thought things through. She did not seem to be pretending to be energetic, so he eliminated the possibility of sending her away.

At the thought of this, Auntie Zhang said, “Then how about this? Xiao Lin, stay in the hospital properly. I’ll buy some ingredients nearby and bring them home. I’ll get Xiao Tian to cook for you. Then, I’ll come back immediately to accompany you. This way, there won’t be a delay. How about that?”

When Chen Lin heard her say that, her eyes were instantly filled with excitement. However, she quickly lowered her eyes and tried hard to hide it.

Then, she pouted and pretended to be unwilling as she asked, “Ah, Auntie Zhang, you want to leave me alone?”

When Auntie Zhang saw her expression, she felt even more relieved. She thought about it and said, “I have to go. How can you be fine without being full? Besides, you should eat these nutritious dishes. This place isn’t far from home. I’ll only be back for an hour. I’ll get the nurse to take care of you. Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon!”

Chen Lin pretended to look regretful. The corners of her mouth still drooped as she said, “Alright then. Thank you, Auntie Zhang. You have to come back quickly. I don’t want to starve, and I don’t want to be without Auntie Zhang!”

Seeing how coquettish she was and how unwilling she was, Auntie Zhang instantly smiled affectionately and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon!”

With that, she packed up simply and left with her bag.

After watching Auntie Zhang leave, Chen Lin was secretly happy. She smiled in satisfaction and took out her phone to start her new plan…
