My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 657: After modification - 639 Old Acquaintance
Through chemotherapy, the cancer cells in Xiao Yi Xun’s body were temporarily controlled, but she suffered a great deal. Watching her hair thin day by day and the painful vomiting episodes, Lin Yixun felt as if her heart was being cut with a knife.
However, she didn’t dare show any hint of abnormality in front of Yi Xun. Despite being young, Xiao Yi Xun was much more mature than her peers. Lin Yixun didn’t want her to know about her severe illness.
Every time Xiao Yi Xun asked when she could be discharged, Lin Yixun would always say soon, very soon, as long as she took her medicine and cooperated with the nurses. But whenever she saw the hopeful look in her eyes, Lin Yixun couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.
Xiao Yi Xun trusted her unconditionally, yet Lin Yixun had to deceive her time and time again, as she didn’t want to let her down; she wanted to give her something to look forward to.
...
Because they couldn’t stand the wind, Lin Yixun would usually just take Xiao Yi Xun for a walk along the corridors. That day, she accompanied Xiao Yi Xun in the corridor as usual but unexpectedly ran into an old acquaintance.
She was holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a fruit basket in the other, seemingly here to visit a patient.
Xiao Mu had indeed come to visit a hospitalized patient. A few days ago, a company executive was diagnosed with leukemia, and since she had a decent relationship with him, she found time today to visit.
However, Xiao Mu didn’t expect to encounter a little girl here. Due to Ouyang Hao, she recognized her.
How could Leng Yixiu and Lin Yixun’s daughter be here?
Xiao Mu’s gaze lingered on Xiao Yi Xun’s hospital gown for a few seconds, then shifted to her head. Her brows furrowed unconsciously. Could it be... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Upon seeing Xiao Mu, Lin Yixun was initially worried she would be recognized, but then she remembered that she had changed her face, so Xiao Mu couldn’t possibly recognize her.
With that thought, Lin Yixun composed herself and walked past Xiao Mu as if nothing was wrong. Just as they passed each other, Xiao Mu suddenly spoke.
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Yixun abruptly stopped, her heart hanging in suspense when she saw Xiao Mu turn back.
She tried her best to stay calm and said lightly, "Miss, is something the matter?"
Xiao Mu’s gaze swept over Lin Yixun’s slightly swollen belly and then fell on Xiao Yi Xun. She squatted down and asked, "Are you Leng Yixun?"
"Auntie, how do you know my name?" Xiao Yi Xun asked.
"Because there’s an uncle who has been keeping an eye on you."
Although Xiao Mu didn’t make it explicit, Lin Yixun knew who she was referring to by "uncle."
She couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness. Had Ouyang Hao been keeping an eye on Xiao Yi Xun all these years? Just because she was her daughter?
"Do I know that uncle?" the little one asked.
"You might know him, or you might not."
Xiao Yi Xun was puzzled and was about to ask more when Lin Yixun suddenly spoke, "Yi Xun, it’s time to take your medicine. Let’s go back, okay?"
Xiao Yi Xun nodded and waved at Xiao Mu, "Auntie, I have to go take my medicine now, or the nurse will come looking for me. Goodbye, Auntie!"
"Goodbye, Xiao Yi Xun!"
Xiao Mu waved back, her eyes glued to the departing pair.
She hadn’t expected someone like Leng Yixiu to father such an adorable daughter. But it was a pity...
Xiao Mu watched the two figures gradually disappear, vaguely hearing the child call the woman beside her "Mommy" in a clear, crisp voice.
Her brows furrowed slightly. Wasn’t Leng Yixun’s mother, Lin Yixun, supposed to have died four years ago? How could she be calling this woman "Mommy"?
