Marriage First, True Love Later-Chapter 156 - The illness
When Anran received a call from Gu Hengwen saying that Lin xiaofen had been admitted to the hospital again, Anran panicked and lost her mind. She was completely at a loss. Fortunately, su Yicheng was by her side. Only when he took the phone from her hand did he know that Lin xiaofen’s old illness had relapsed. The doctor had initially determined that the tumor in her brain had spread, but the doctor had yet to make a clear conclusion on whether it had deteriorated into a malignant tumor.
After su Yicheng heard this, he only told Gu Hengwen that they would be there soon, then hung up the phone.
He didn’t care about how ye Ziwen was going to propose marriage, and he didn’t even bother to eat lunch. He only said a few words to Qin Yun. After Qin Yun heard about it, she told him to give her a call when they arrived and asked about the situation. Su Yicheng nodded, then he directly took Anran into the car and drove toward the city.
On the way, Anran was still a little nervous. She muttered something in a low voice, and she didn’t know where to put her hands because of her worry and nervousness.
Su Yicheng glanced at her, then freed his hand to hold her hand and hold it tightly in his palm.
Anran looked at him, her eyes red and misty. She held su Yicheng’s hand tightly, so hard that it turned red, but she didn’t feel it at all. She was worried, scared, and nervous. She didn’t even know what words to use to describe her feelings at the moment.
&Quot; didn’t the doctor say last time that it wouldn’t affect my normal life in the future? how did it suddenly worsen? how did it become like this … &Quot; Anran muttered helplessly. She was too scared right now. The person lying in the hospital was her mother, the person who had brought her into this world, the person who had cared for her since she was young.
“Don’t worry,” Su Yicheng didn’t know what he could say at this moment, so he could only comfort her like this.
&Quot; but the tumor is in the brain! It’s in the brain! &Quot; Anran grabbed his hand, and her emotions became a little agitated because of her worry.
Su Yicheng turned to look at her, sighed softly, and stopped the car by the side of the road.
“Why did you stop the car?” Anran didn’t understand and said anxiously, ” &Quot; hurry up and drive. I want to go and accompany mom! &Quot;
Su Yicheng pulled her hand over and gently placed it on his lips, not saying anything for a long time.
Because she was worried about Lin xiaofen’s condition, Anran was a little anxious and struggled to take back her words. Her tone became a little stern as she complained, ” Su Yicheng, hurry up and drive! &Quot; As she said that, she could not control the tears in her eyes, and they fell down in big drops.
Su Yicheng pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back to comfort her.
Anran patted su Yicheng with her hand, crying as she said, ” &Quot; don’t hug me. Drive. I want to see my mother. &Quot;
Su Yicheng allowed her to hit him as she wished, but he hugged her even more tightly than before, and he only repeated, ” don’t be afraid, it’s okay, it’s okay … &Quot;
&Quot; I haven’t had the time to show my filial piety to her, and the baby isn’t born yet. I don’t know how to be a good mother, I don’t know how to take care of the child, I don’t know anything, and I have to wait for her to teach me a lot … Yicheng, what do you think I should do if mom’s tumor really worsens? I’m so scared, really so scared! &Quot; Leaning on his shoulder, an ran sobbed.
Su Yicheng patted her and comforted her gently, ” silly girl, don’t let your thoughts run wild. Mom will be fine, so don’t scare yourself. &Quot;
Anran pushed him away and stared into his eyes. Her eyes were red, and she pouted. &Quot; but why did she faint again? the doctor clearly said that she was fine last time and that it wouldn’t affect her life in the future. &Quot;
Su Yicheng sighed softly and reached out to wipe the tears on her face as he said, ” “Anran, the doctors haven’t come to a conclusion yet, have they? Don’t scare yourself like this. If mom sees you like this, she’ll be worried. Do you want her to be worried about you?”
Anran shook her head uncomfortably. She grabbed his hand and held it tightly, saying, ” “I’m so scared, I’m so worried.”
“Silly girl, why do you always think of the worst? maybe mom is fine. You’re not crying for nothing.” Su Yicheng tried his best to make his voice sound more relaxed, hoping to ease her somewhat nervous mood.
He reached out his other hand to wipe the tears from her face and asked helplessly, ” &Quot; Anran, do you want mom to be busy? ”
“Of course not!” How could she think that something would happen to her mother? she was just afraid. She was worried that something would happen to her mother!
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng laughed and pinched her delicate nose with his hand, saying, ” &Quot; then why are you crying like this? it’s as if mommy really has something! &Quot;
&Quot; I … &Quot; an ran was at a loss for words. She lowered her head and said, ” “I, I’m just so worried, I’m scared …”
“Alright, it’s fine. Don’t worry.” Su Yicheng reached out and touched her head, then sighed and said, ” “Don’t cry anymore. My heart aches when I see you cry.”
Anran pursed her lips and hit him with a little complaint. &Quot; “Then don’t keep saying things that will make me cry.” He didn’t know that when he was deeply in love, it was so easy for people to be moved to the point of tears.
“Silly girl.” Su Yicheng smiled, grabbed a tissue from the car, and wiped away the tears on her face. Then, he turned around and started the car again.
On the way, although an ran was still a little nervous and scared, she wasn’t as nervous as she had been just now.
However, when the car arrived at the entrance of the hospital, Anran hesitated for a moment and nervously held su Yicheng’s hand. Su Yicheng turned to look at her and held her hand tightly in return. He looked at her and firmly said, ” “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”
Perhaps it was because of his encouragement that Anran was truly relieved. She looked at him and nodded, then let him lead her into the hospital.
When they arrived at the ward, Lin xiaofen had already woken up. Gu Hengwen sat by her bed and looked at her with a worried expression. He kept asking her if she was feeling unwell anywhere.
Lin xiaofen looked a little tired, and her head felt a little heavy. However, she didn’t want her husband to worry, so she forced a smile, shook her head, and said that she was fine.
Anran and su Yicheng came in. As soon as they came in, Anran ran to the bed worriedly, took her mother’s hand, and asked. The concern on her face didn’t need to be expressed. Lin xiaofen looked at her husband with some resentment. She blamed him for not telling Anran. Considering Anran’s stomach, the hospital was full of germs, and it was not appropriate for pregnant women to come here too often. However, he knew that his daughter was just worried about him. He just smiled and shook his head, telling her not to worry.
The inside was left for Anran and Lin xiaofen to talk to, while su Yicheng and Gu Hengwen walked out of the ward. Seeing his father-in-law’s worried expression, su Yicheng asked, ” “Dad, what did the doctor say?”
Gu Hengwen glanced at him and said with a lonely look on his face, ” the doctor said that although the tumor has not worsened and become cancerous, the position of the tumor has shifted compared to before. Now, it’s directly pressing on the optic nerve. If we don’t do the surgery, we may lose our sight. &Quot;
Su Yicheng’s heart sank. This was not the worst news, but it was definitely not good news either. If it was a surgery, it would definitely be an open skull surgery. The risk of using a knife on the head was several times higher than other things. Even if one had 100% confidence, there was no guarantee of 100% success!
The two of them were silent, not saying a word, because they didn’t know what to say or what to say.
The door opened, and Anran came out. Seeing that the two people outside didn’t look good, she panicked and asked softly, ” “What did the doctor say …” Their hands were clasped together nervously. From their expressions, she seemed to be able to tell what they were writing, and she was a little worried.
Su Yicheng looked at her and smiled gently. He reached out and pulled her hand over to stop her from abusing her own hand. He gently shook his head and said, ” “It’s nothing. Don’t worry.”
Anran looked at him and then turned to look at Gu Hengwen. &Quot; dad, what did the doctor say? ”
Gu Hengwen sighed softly and repeated what he had just said to su Yicheng to her.
After hearing this, Anran was stunned. She didn’t know what to do and couldn’t speak.
Su Yicheng stepped forward and held her in his arms, trying to ease the atmosphere. &Quot; “Although it’s not a good result, there’s no cancer, right?” Before they came, before the results were out, they were most worried that the tumor would become cancerous. Although it wasn’t perfect, at least it wasn’t cancer.
Anran was still a little dazed, but Gu Hengwen had come back to his senses. A smile appeared on his face as he looked at them and said, ” &Quot; yes, Yicheng is right. Even if it’s not cancer, it’s still a blessing in the midst of misfortune. We have to believe that with the advancement of medicine, the success rate of craniotomy is also getting higher and higher. There’s nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about. &Quot;
Anran looked at her husband and father. Although she knew that this wasn’t the worst result, she still felt a little sad, and she couldn’t control her emotions. She wasn’t strong or brave to begin with, but after she got pregnant, she seemed to cry even more than before, and her tears were always uncontrollable.
Su Yicheng knew that she was upset, so he turned her around and buried her head in his arms. Gu Hengwen looked at her and felt upset as well. His eyes turned slightly red, and he turned his back to her.
The three of them stood outside for a while. After they had calmed down, they pushed the door open and went in.
Lin xiaofen looked at them and didn’t ask where they had just gone. She just smiled at them indifferently. Gu Hengwen looked at the time and went forward to ask her in a gentle voice, ” are you hungry? I’ll go buy you some food. &Quot;
“I’m really a little hungry,” Lin xiaofen nodded and said with a smile.
Gu Hengwen nodded and turned around to go out to buy food.
Su Yicheng pulled him back and said with a faint smile, ” “Dad, I’ll go.” An ran hadn’t eaten yet, so he went over to take a look. He also wanted to see if there were any dishes an ran liked to eat and bring some up.
Gu Hengwen didn’t insist and only nodded.
The food around the hospital wasn’t delicious, but the family had a good time eating together, even though there was a faint sadness behind the happiness.
After eating, Anran sat in the ward and chatted with Lin xiaofen. As Gu Hengwen was taking senior high school students with him, his homework had been tight recently. He still had class in the afternoon, so he went back to school first. Also, let’s see if tomorrow’s class can be adjusted to other teachers.
Su Yicheng went directly to Lin xiaofen’s attending doctor’s office. The doctor recognized him and appeared a little respectful and reserved. However, after understanding his purpose for coming, he still analyzed Lin xiaofen’s condition from his professional point of view. It was similar to what Gu Hengwen had heard. Although her life was not in danger, because the tumor had shifted and pressed on the optic nerve, if it was not removed, she would definitely lose her sight in the future.
After getting a general understanding of the situation, su Yicheng directly asked about the risks of the operation, and the doctor didn’t try to boast. After all, this was a craniotomy, and the risks were obvious. It was impossible to say that there were no risks at all, but he couldn’t give a specific number. In the end, he only said that there was an expert in the United States who was the best at this kind of operation, and if he wanted to do it in the United States, he could help contact the hospital and doctor there.
After he understood the situation, he returned to the ward. He pushed the door open and saw Anran and Lin xiaofen sleeping on the bed. Anran was snuggling in her mother’s arms like a child with a faint smile on her face.
Lin xiaofen didn’t sleep deeply. When su Yicheng opened the door and came in, her colleague also opened her eyes.
“Mom, did I wake you up?” Su Yicheng whispered apologetically.
Lin xiaofen shook her head, then gently let go of Anran. She slowly sat up, trying her best not to wake Anran up from her deep sleep. Then, she slowly lifted the blanket and revealed the IV drip in her hand.
Upon seeing this, su Yicheng quickly went up to the rack and hung the drip on it, then asked in a low voice, ” “Mom, do you need to go to the toilet?”
Lin xiaofen shook her head and glanced at Anran, who was still in bed. After making sure that she hadn’t woken her up, she said to su Yicheng, ” “Let’s go out. I have something to talk to you about.”
Although su Yicheng didn’t know what she was going to say, he still nodded. He supported her with one hand and carried the rack with the IV drip out with the other.
The two of them sat down on a long wooden bench outside the ward. Lin xiaofen’s eyes stared straight at the snow-white wall in front of her. After a while, she said, ” &Quot; ah Zheng, although you got married to Anran not long after you met her, and although your relationship with her isn’t strong, I can see from your actions that you really love Anran. I can see that you are sincere to Anran. I am really at ease to leave my daughter in your care. &Quot; As she spoke, she turned to look at su Yicheng again and said with a smile, ” “I have to say that an ran has good taste.”
Su Yicheng looked at her and could roughly guess what she wanted to say to him. In fact, ever since the ” nude photo scandal ” was exposed on the internet, the Gu family had not questioned him at all. He knew that it was not that they had not seen the news on the internet, but that they, like Anran, believed in his character and had never suspected anything about him, so they had not asked him anything.
Su Yicheng looked at her and said seriously, ” &Quot; mom, it’s my fortune to have Anran as my wife. It’s also my fortune to have you and dad as my two open-minded in-laws. &Quot;
Lin xiaofen smiled and said, ” we believe you. We’ve seen everything you’ve done for us and Anran. We don’t doubt your sincerity. &Quot; Anran’s father and I have never thought about what kind of person Anran must marry in the future. It doesn’t need to be rich or capable. As long as he treats Anran well and gives Anran happiness, that’s our greatest hope.”
Su Yicheng didn’t interrupt and just listened quietly.
&Quot; sometimes, when I think about it, Anran and I are really similar. Both mother and daughter seemed to have the same experience. They loved each other deeply, but they were also hurt. At first, I was always afraid that Anran wasn’t as lucky as me, that she wouldn’t be able to meet a man as good as her father. However, reality proved that God still treated us well. I was lucky to meet Gu Hengwen, but Anran was lucky to meet you. &Quot;
Lin xiaofen turned her head, pulled su Yicheng’s hand, and gently patted it, saying, ” &Quot; Yicheng, perhaps Anran has a lot of shortcomings. Perhaps she’s not beautiful, nor is she virtuous and gentle, but she has a very kind heart. If you treat her well, she will only treat you better. She knows how to be grateful, and she’s very content. You just have to give her a little hug and a gentle smile, and she will be very satisfied. The happiness she wants has always been very simple. It doesn’t need to be Grand, just plain. As long as you treat her sincerely, that’s enough. You don’t have to say how much money you have. There’s no need to say how rich they must be. The greatest happiness is when two people are happy together.”
Su Yicheng held her hand back and looked at Lin xiaofen with a serious and firm expression in his eyes. It was as if he was making a promise to her, making the most serious and solemn oath. He said, ” Mom, I will make an ran happy. &Quot;
Lin xiaofen nodded with a smile in her eyes. She stretched out her other hand and gently patted his hand. &Quot; “It’s good that you understand what I mean.”
Su Yicheng nodded and said firmly,”I understand.” &Nbsp;
After receiving his affirmative reply, Lin xiaofen finally seemed to be able to put down the worry in her heart. She let out a long sigh and turned her head to look at the person in front of her with a faint smile.”I’m at ease now.”
Her words made su Yicheng frown slightly. He looked at her and called out worriedly, ” “Mom?” Did she find out about something, or did they overreact and cause her to misunderstand?
Lin xiaofen turned her head and simply said, ” it’s nothing. Knowing that Anran has you by her side, I have nothing to worry about. This way, I can perform the surgery in peace. I don’t have to worry about anything. &Quot;
“Mom, you know?” Su Yicheng asked.
Lin xiaofen nodded. This morning, when the doctor and Gu Hengwen were talking at the door, she had heard it. In fact, she was more or less aware of her own situation. Recently, she had been feeling that her vision had deteriorated, and many things were a little blurry. At first, she thought that she was getting old, but now she knew that it was because the position of the tumor in her head had changed.
“Mom, the operation will be a success.”
Lin xiaofen nodded and smiled. &Quot; yes, I know. I’m still waiting for your child to be born. I’ll help you take care of your child. &Quot;
Su Yicheng also smiled and firmly nodded. &Quot; okay. &Quot;
