Chapter 62: The Seriously Ill Mother

  "Her mother seems to be seriously ill and is likely to pass away this time."

  “……”

  After being reminded by Huang Shao Hua, Bei Tang Yao Chu finally remembered that he had used Lu Yu's phone to call Chen Yi Xuan earlier. She seemed to have mentioned her mother back then, and at that time, she was already in the hospital. It was also because of that one time that the two people who should have gone to bed early were still up until now.

  Beidong Yaochuan, who had never paid attention to Chen Yixuan's mother, overlooked this point. I don't know if Chen Yixuan is still in the hospital now. However, with Li Xuan by her side protecting her, there shouldn't be any problems. At least for now, Wang Tianxiang has shifted his attention to his own shield, Li Mier.

  This morning, Li Ming from the Wang Group went to find Li Mier, this matter had already been told to Noah's eyes. So soon to start acting, did Wang Tianxiang think he would be tripped up by that woman? Hmph, how naive!

  "What a hassle..."

  "Hehe..."

  Huang Shao Hua knew what was bothering Bei Tang Yao Chuang, and it wasn't because of Chen Yi Xuan's mother's matter. It was that at this time, things were happening one after another, making people feel a bit uncomfortable.

  The red light at the intersection turned green and Huang Shao Hua spun the steering wheel, heading in the direction of Gemini Building.

  Slightly calmer, Chen Yixuan looked at her mother on the hospital bed, who showed no reaction at all. She took a deep breath, slightly trembling. Why did this have to happen to her own mother? If possible, Chen Yixuan would rather it happened to herself.

  Meng Qi looked at Chen Yi Xuan, who was blaming herself beside her, and didn't know how to comfort her. Just a month ago, Meng Qi had helped Chen Yi Xuan find a job, but then Chen Yi Xuan's mother had an episode. However, Auntie wouldn't let Meng Qi tell Chen Yi Xuan about it, fearing that it would make her uneasy at work. So Meng Qi hadn't told her about the incident. But this time, Meng Qi knew that Auntie couldn't hold on much longer. Speaking of being heartbroken, Meng Qi wasn't any less than Chen Yi Xuan. Having been in contact with the mother-daughter duo since childhood, their emotions had long become deep and profound. Yet now, such a thing had happened...

  "Bang bang bang......"

  "Huh?"

  "Wow! Right, sorry!"

  Suddenly a girl rushed into Li Xuan, who was looking around, and turned her head. Li Xuan looked at the little girl in front of him, who kept apologizing to herself, without any blame.

  Han Luolu raised her head and looked at the cool and handsome boy in front of her, her face suddenly turning slightly red. This boy is so handsome!

  "Hey, I'm really sorry, are you okay? Downloading TXT!"

  "It's nothing."

  Han Luoluo shrugged, feeling a bit embarrassed, and stuck out her tongue before running towards Chen Yixuan's ward. Li Xuan looked at the cute girl in front of him, slightly stunned, and walked in the direction she had run off to. Because, her purpose was very clear, she was heading straight for Chen Yixuan.

  "Ah..."

  She gently opened the door of the ward and looked at her aunt on the hospital bed, unable to help but be shocked for a moment. Turning her head, beside her were Chen Yixuan and an unfamiliar man.

  "Meng Qi jie, Xuan jie..."

  "Lu Lu?"

  Seeing Han Lu Lu suddenly coming over, Chen Yi Xuan was stunned for a moment.

  "It was me who called Lulu to come over, she's very worried about Auntie's health condition."

  "How is your aunt?"

  “……”

  Chen Yixuan just shook her head and held back the tears that were about to fall. Han Lulu looked at Chen Yixuan in front of her, then at Auntie lying on the hospital bed, and felt a pang of heartache. There was no need to ask what the situation was, it was clear that this time Auntie's condition was very severe.

  Han LuLu gently patted Chen YiXuan's shoulder.

  "Xuan Jie, don't be too sad..."

  "Hmm..."

  Outside the ward, Li Xuan looked at the harmonious atmosphere inside and the girl who accidentally bumped into her. It seemed that she was a good friend of Chen Yixuan's.

  Meng Qi was called away by an editor, and she hurried back. Han Lulu and Chen Yixuan were still waiting in the hospital room, whispering to each other about something.

  "Hey, can I have a Coke?"

  "Uh... thank you."

  In the hospital corridor, Li Xuan looked at a can of Coke handed in front of him, stunned for a moment, and still took it from Wang Yan's hand.

  In front of him was still a small boy, probably only eighteen years old, yet his calm demeanor made Wanyan Sake have some good feelings towards Li Hui. Having followed Huang Shao Hua for a long time, when he heard him call Huang Shao Hua "Big Brother", Wanyan Sake knew that perhaps this boy had the same secret as Huang Shao Hua.

  "Judging from today's situation, I think Chen Yixuan won't be leaving the hospital."

  "No way, she has to go back."

  "Why?"

  “……”

  Li Xi opened the cola and took a sip, but didn't say anything else. Wanyan Xie couldn't help but smile wryly, although the boy in front of her was much younger than herself, yet his thoughts were unusually cautious. It seemed that she wouldn't be able to get any more information out of him. Not asking again, Wanyan Xie also took a sip of cola.

  "...This is for your own good."

  "What?"

  After a moment of silence, Li Xuan only faintly spoke out these few words, however, Wan Yan Xiao didn't understand what he meant. But one thing was certain, this boy was protecting himself and Chen Yi Xuan.

  The ward was very quiet, Chen Yixuan held her mother's hand all the time and didn't let go. However, her emotions had stabilized a lot.

  "Xuan Jie, don't be too sad. Since this kind of thing can't be avoided, we can only face it with effort. I think if Aunt wakes up and sees you like this, she'll feel heartbroken."

  "......Lu Lu, if this time mom really can't stop crying, what should I do......"

  "Xuan Jie..."

  Han Luoluo gently patted Chen Yixuan's trembling shoulder, but now saying any comforting words had no effect. Although the situation in front of them was already as bad as it could get, Han Luoluo still managed to hang on to a strong smile. If she were to show her own sadness, Yixuan would probably become even more distressed.

  After all, Auntie is Xuan's only spiritual pillar.

  "Hehe, LuLu, don't you think it's strange?"

  "What?"

  “……”

  Chen Yixuan looked at her own mother, her eyes slightly dim. After a long silence, Chen Yixuan softly uttered a few words.

  "Lu Lu, I'm pregnant..."

  "Is it Xuan Jie...?!"

  Han Lulu was taken aback by Chen Yixuan's words, but soon she wasn't too surprised. After all, Yixuan is already 24 years old and it's time for her to find a boyfriend. Han Lulu looked up at the handsome boy who had just bumped into her outside and was chatting with Wanyan Xiang. Maybe that person is Yixuan's boyfriend.

  "There is a small life in my belly, but my mother wants..."

  "Xuan Jie, don't think wildly!"

  Han LuLu shook her head and covered Chen YiXuan's slightly cold and trembling small hand with hers.

  "Xiang Jie, now you have to take good care of yourself, otherwise the little treasure in your belly will be heartbroken."

  "Lu Lu..."

  She didn't know who to talk to about this matter, only her close friend Han Lulu. However, looking at her mother's haggard face and the cold machines, Chen Yixuan couldn't hold back her scalding tears.

  Lying on the hospital bed, Chen Yixuan buried her head in her mother's arms, her small shoulders shaking violently.

  "Sister..."

  Looking at Chen Yixuan like this, Han Lulu didn't know how to comfort her. She just felt heartache. Sister Yixuan is pregnant, does her boyfriend know about this? No matter what, this isn't a small thing. If she could help Sister Yixuan, that would be great...

  "Lu Lu, I'm sorry, being like this in front of you..."

  "It's okay."

  Han Lulu, who had lost her mother at a young age, grew up too strong. Chen Yixuan suddenly felt that she was not doing a good job as an older sister. Wouldn't this current situation make Han Lulu even more distressed? Having no mother since childhood, and now being in this state herself, wasn't it the same blow to Han Lulu?

  Han Lulu also understood the meaning of Chen Yixuan's apology. However, all that was already in the past, although it was difficult to bear, and seeing Auntie now brought back memories she didn't want to recall. But at least her father was still around, so Han Lulu continued to live with a strong smile.

  "No matter what, we have to keep on living, right?"

  Lulu...

  Yes, no matter what, one must persevere for the sake of their own mother and also for the little treasure in their womb...

  "Ding ding ding......"

  "Brother Yaochuan..."

  Lí Huì's phone rang, and she looked at the caller ID before walking over to answer it.

  Wanyan Xiao heard Li Xuan calling Beidong Yaochuan, and wasn't too surprised, having already heard it once before, right? Shao Hua big brother...

  Wanyan Saka picked up her own Coke and took another sip.

  Chen Yixuan didn't know how Beidong Yaochuan found out about this matter, and even more surprisingly, he had already arranged for the hospital to provide special care for his mother, hiring the best caregivers. It was clear that he didn't want Chen Yixuan to spend the night at the hospital.

  "But I!"

  "Take the key, listen to me, go back, if you're not at ease, I'll be here."

  "Ah, Saki?"

  Chen Yixuan looked at Wan Yan Sake, who was helping Bei Tang Yaochuan speak, with some incomprehension, unable to understand what he was thinking.

  In the midst of it all, Wan Yan Sake only felt that they were protecting Chen Yi Xuan, although he didn't know what for. However, the one thing that could make Wan Yan Sake certain was that Bei Tang Yao Chuan wasn't causing any trouble.

  "Sorry, you have to go back together too."

  "What?"

  Listening to Li Xuan's words, Wanyan Xiao frowned slightly with his handsome eyebrows.

  Looking at the three people's stalemate atmosphere, Han Lulu waved her hand.

  "It's okay, I'll just stay with Auntie at the hospital today. As for you, Xuan Jie, now that I'm here, you should feel more at ease."

  "Lu Lu, but you..."

  "I'm fine!"
