“Dr Jing, it seems that a nurse said that she saw that your girlfriend who came to the hospital last time was sent to the emergency room.”
These words made Jing Qian’s expression suddenly change.
Jing Qian had just finished an operation and was planning to go to the canteen to have his lunch and regain strength before preparing for the next operation.
However, he had just stepped into the canteen when he heard the alarming news from someone.
Why is there a need to eat? He rushed to the emergency room.
His eyes darted around and scoured extremely fast.
He swept his eyes over the room and saw a tall, familiar figure in the crowd. He was very conspicuous. Isn’t he Lu Wang Chen?
Jing Qian ran like the wind towards him.
Lu Wang Chen looked at Jing Qian, who had come in a hurry upon hearing the news.
The man’s face looked calm and collected.
An outsider might not know enough to realise it. But as a close friend of over twenty years, Lu Wang Chen could tell by looking at the extreme unease and panic suppressed under his eyes.
“How is Mo Mo now? What did the doctor say?” Jing Qian’s eyes were fixed on Xiang Yi Mo, surveying her carefully.
His eyes were stung at the blood left on her clothes as his whole heart was raised.
“What’s with the blood on her clothes? Is she hurt?”
When Jing Qian came, Xiang Yi Mo had been lying in the emergency room for quite a long time. There was nothing wrong with her body other than the unknown illness the doctor had told Lu Wang Chen about.
Therefore, Lu Wang Chen wiped all the blood-stained areas of her body clean, fearing that Xiang Yi Mo might be uncomfortable.
Only the stain on her clothes remained, where it couldn’t be removed temporarily.
“Mo Mo spat out. The exact cause is unknown. Their initial guess is that it is related to an illness whose cause cannot be checked.”
Lu Wang Chen said as his jawline became taut.
“I heard them say this is the third time Mo Mo has been brought to the emergency department. Let’s not talk about the second time she had a scrape from a car accident, but she had fainted the first time and this time….”
The already low voice was muffled and a little husky.
It sounded even solemn.
There was a constant feeling of fear lingering in his heart.
In the past, he had never been afraid of anything, despite the kind of dangerous missions he was on.
He was not even afraid of death. But now, he feared Xiang Yi Mo might be taken away by an unknown disease.
The blood in his heart chilled to the bone, and his liver and guts wanted to break.
He thought of how something was amiss with Mo Mo on the night he first came to Mo Mo’s villa. He asked Jing Qian in a deep voice, “You knew about Mo Mo’s illness all along, right?”
Jing Qian was silent for two seconds. He averted his gaze slightly.
He nodded his head.
The light-coloured thin lips pursed into a straight line. He thought for a moment and glanced at Lu Wang Chen. “Call Heng Yu over. There are some things that I should explain clearly to both of you.”
Thus, Ji Heng Yu, who had received the call, rushed to the emergency room in a hurry.
When he saw Xiang Yi Mo lying lifelessly on the hospital bed with blood on her body, the heart of Ji Heng Yu — who always did anything skillfully and easily — was in turmoil.
“What happened to Mo Mo?! How is she?”
I have clearly sent her to Shangcheng in the morning. Only half a day has passed, and she is in the hospital?
Is Qin Chu dead?
I shouldn’t have sent her back…
The moment he thought of this, he was incomparably chagrined and regretful.
Then, Jing Qian told the truth about Xiang Yi Mo’s condition as it was and also answered Ji Heng Yu’s questions.
“So Mo Mo’s condition isn’t good. You have to be prepared for the possibility that she won’t live more than three years. There was nothing that could be done locally and abroad. Of course, I’ve been looking for a way to save her.”
“As you are now well aware of Mo Mo’s condition, I have completely fallen in love. If you are afraid that you will not be able to bear the loss when the time comes, it is not too late if you want to back out now.”
Yet, even so, no one backed out.
Of course, they were afraid of losing her and even more fearful of losing her before they could have her. If Mo Mo really only has three years to live…
No, they will do whatever they can to save Mo Mo.
But regardless, this incident had come as quite a shock to both Lu Wang Chen and Ji Heng Yu.
There was some kind of boundary loosening at the bottom of their hearts.
There was even thought that was a bit crazy.
They suppressed the thought and listened to Jing Qian talk about Mo Mo being very strong and hiding her condition.
“So you two shouldn’t speak about it. It’s better to pretend you aren’t aware of this, or Mo Mo will be upset.”
The two nodded. Both of them looked at the little girl who looked like she was sleeping on the bed, and a great deal of distress swept over them and swallowed them up.
