Chapter 781 reminds Lucy to be careful not to be tricked.
When Lucy expressed her desire to return to Shanghai, Zhou Chen directly accused her of being too cold-blooded, asking if her work was more important than her mother.
Keep in mind that her own mother is lying in the hospital bed. Even if Lucy can't help much by staying, she still needs to have the right attitude in this matter.
Maybe one day her mother will have a sudden moment of lucidity and want to see Lucy, so that she won't have any regrets.
When Zhou Chen told her that her mother might not last much longer, Lucy panicked. Perhaps she hadn't expected her mother's illness to be so serious.
Lucy ultimately didn't tell her father that she wanted to leave; instead, she decided to ask for a few days off from work to stay and take care of her mother.
If it's really as serious as Zhou Chen said, and if Lucy really doesn't get to see her mother one last time, she'll probably regret it.
Zhou Chen guessed correctly. On the third day, Lucy's mother finally regained consciousness, but it was just a temporary resurgence before death.
When Lucy's mother saw Lucy sitting by her bedside, she took Lucy's hand and told her daughter to take good care of her sister from now on.
Before Lucy could respond, Lucy's mother's condition completely deteriorated. She vomited blood and was rushed into the operating room, but she would never wake up again.
Lucy's mental state wasn't very good for the next two days, and Zhou Chen helped Lucy run around arranging her mother's funeral. Fortunately, it was eventually taken care of.
The atmosphere in Lucy's house was somewhat somber. Zhou Chen and Lucy sat silently beside each other, while Lucy's father sat opposite them, lost in thought, clearly feeling down.
There was also a nanny holding Lucy's little sister next to them; clearly, she was hired specifically to take care of the baby.
After a long silence, Lucy finally spoke, but this time she started arguing with her father again.
"Dad, Mom has passed away. You can take good care of yourself at home from now on. Don't worry about me. Just take good care of your sister."
Zhou Chen and I have already taken several days off, and it's time to go back. If we delay any longer, our boss might fire us.
Lucy started suggesting that she go back to Shanghai, but to her surprise, her father started to panic.
Lucy's father pointed at the baby and asked Lucy, "Your mother asked you to take good care of your sister before she died. Now that you're gone, what will happen to this child? Do you expect me, a grown man, to take care of her?"
Our original plan was that your mother had a pension and I had a salary, so the two of us could easily support the child. Now that your mother is gone, her pension has stopped, and I still have to work. Who will take care of the child?
"We've hired a nanny now, but who's going to pay her? I'm a grown man, I really can't manage. Have you thought about these issues?"
Lucy understood what her father was saying: Was he trying to shirk responsibility?
Lucy stood up and angrily confronted her father, saying, "My mother is over fifty years old, and you made her have a second child? Now you know how difficult it is. You two wanted to have this child, and now you don't want to take care of it?"
"Do you want me to quit my job to take care of the child, or do you want me to pay for the nanny? If you hadn't made my mother have a second child, she wouldn't have passed away so young. Don't you think you bear any responsibility?"
Faced with his daughter's accusation, Lucy's father immediately stood up and retorted, "Hengheng, what you're saying is going too far. Do you want something to happen to your mother?"
Besides, this child was your mother's idea. If you hadn't been away from home for so many years, she wouldn't have had this thought. Now you're blaming me.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Zhou Chen quickly stood up and said, "Lucy, arguing won't solve anything. Don't scare the child. We can discuss and solve any problems we have."
To everyone's surprise, Lucy's attitude was quite firm. She directly transferred 20,000 yuan to her father as money for the baby's formula. As for the nanny's salary, she told her father to figure it out himself and didn't want to get involved.
Lucy dragged Zhou Chen away from home, which angered Lucy's father so much that he started cursing. The matter hadn't been resolved yet, and his daughter had already abandoned him.
On the way back to Shanghai, Zhou Chen saw that Lucy was in low spirits and immediately wanted to comfort her. But before he could speak, Lucy interrupted him, saying, "Are you going to call me heartless again?"
My mother clearly asked me to take care of my younger sister before she passed away, but I just dumped her on my father. Don't you think I went too far?
When Lucy asked him a question, Zhou Chen shook his head and said to Lucy, "Lucy, what I'm about to say might be a little harsh, but I'm doing it for your own good. I hope you can take it to heart."
After these few days of contact, I have a fairly good understanding of your father. In my opinion, he is not a responsible person, and he will definitely dump the child on you again.
I can even guess what strategy he will use. Next, he will definitely use money to bribe the nanny and get her to cooperate with him in putting on a show.
The content is nothing more than the nanny calling you to say that after your mother died, your father was in a low mood and had no energy to take care of the child, and he wouldn't even go to see the child.
In short, you'll project an image of your father being heartless. At this point, the nanny will suggest that your father, a grown man, is simply unable to take care of the child and hopes that you can take the child in and raise him.
They're betting on your kind heart, betting that even because of your mother's dying promise, you'll soften and choose to take care of the child, so your father can dump the burden of the child on you.
Lucy was silent for a while before speaking: "You're right, my dad is absolutely capable of doing something like that. If my mom had given birth to a son, maybe he would have some concerns, but since my mom gave birth to a daughter, my dad would care even less."
If he really does that, what should I do? Knowing it's a ruse, how can I bear to watch my sister suffer?
Seeing Lucy's worried face, Zhou Chen, who had a soft heart, said, "Lucy, if your father really schemed against you like this, it might be a good thing for you. At least it will let you see his true colors."
Don't be offended if I say something harsh, but from the first moment I saw your father, I knew he was no ordinary person; he was someone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
That's why I didn't tell him I was from a wealthy family, but instead presented myself as a junior doctor. In the end, I really didn't trust him.
If, after a while, your father really does conspire with the nanny to scheme against you as I've said, I support you taking the child and raising him yourself.
Your sister is my sister. We have the money to raise her. Our child will be born in six months. Let's just say it's to give our child a companion. We can raise them together.
"But we can't keep that nanny. Someone who helped your dad scheme against you probably isn't a good person. Let's find someone we know well to take care of the child."
Having read the plot, Zhou Chen knew that the nanny was a ruthless person. In the plot, after learning that Lucy had lost her job, she actually brought her family to Lucy's house to make a scene.
Such a person is like a dog that can turn on you at any time; Zhou Chen doesn't trust him with that kind of person.
Lucy was touched when she heard Zhou Chen agree to let her take the child over. She hadn't even brought it up yet, but Zhou Chen had already agreed.
In other words, Zhou Chen really cares about my feelings. Zhou Chen is also a very sentimental person. He must really like me, right?
If Zhou Chen hadn't been driving on the highway, Lucy really wanted to hug him and kiss him to express her gratitude. At that moment, she suddenly felt a sense of happiness.
Whether it was because her mother was seriously ill and Zhou Chen stopped her from going to work, or because Zhou Chen agreed to bring the child back, everything he did was for Lucy's sake. How could Lucy not be moved?
Haha, although Zhou Chen is a playboy and a total scumbag, he is really good to Lucy. He has thought of everything that needs to be thought of.
