Chapter 1335: Chapter 1334: The Secret Struggle Between Father and Son (Part 5)
Ye Junqing noticed that his little fishtail hadn’t returned to the old Wang’s Family residence by dinnertime, so he called to ask where she was.
Ye Xingguang stepped out of the consultation room and stood in the hallway, saying, “I’m at the hospital.”
Ye Junqing’s voice tightened, “What happened?”
“It’s nothing, nothing. I came across a pregnant woman and brought her to the hospital for a checkup. She just found out she has late-stage cancer. Her fiancé doesn’t care about her, saying the child she’s carrying is illegitimate. The poor woman is about to break down, and I couldn’t just leave her here.”
Ye Junqing pondered for a moment, “I’ll come to the hospital to find you, and then we can go out to a hotel for dinner.”
“Okay.”
Xia Siyuan refused further examination, and no amount of persuasion from the doctor worked. Ye Xingguang thought that given the blow Xia Siyuan faced, making a rational decision was probably difficult amidst the chaos in her mind, so she didn’t try to persuade her further.
Xia Siyuan insisted on leaving the hospital to go home, so Ye Xingguang accompanied her out.
Ye Xingguang said, “Let’s wait here a bit. My husband is coming to pick me up. I noticed you haven’t eaten dinner either. Nobody’s home to make you dinner, right? How about joining us?”
“Thank you.”
“No need to be so polite. I also have the surname Xia, maybe our ancestors were related five hundred years ago.”
Xia Siyuan, her mind a whirl, didn’t want to think about her own issues, “Are you… the national treasure Xia Qiongqiong?”
“Hey, my face is quite recognizable after all. Besides your fiancé, do you have any other family members nearby? For major life events like this, family is more reliable than men.”
“My parents are in the capital.”
“You’re from the capital too? Given your situation, it’s best to return to the capital and discuss with your parents. Even if you want to keep the child, you need to take care of yourself, and your parents are best placed to help you do that.”
Xia Siyuan nodded, gently touching her belly, “It’s not that I’m not afraid to die… late-stage cancer, I won’t survive, but at least he can live…”
“I understand, I really do. Let’s get in the car first.”
Mo Yinhe always obediently followed Ye Xingguang.
Xia Siyuan looked at Mo Yinhe, “Your son is adorable. Maybe the baby in my belly will be this cute too. I must give him a chance to live; it’s the only thing I can leave behind for myself.”
“I know, and your baby will be just fine.”
“Really?”
“Of course, I am the Koi Girl—I’ll bring you good fortune.”
Xia Siyuan’s tears rolled down her face, though she feared the cancer spreading to her child, fearing that no matter how strong she was…
“Auntie, I have a way to save both you and your baby.”
Mo Yinhe, the little boss, suddenly offered Xia Siyuan a ray of hope.
“Really?”
“Really.”
Xia Siyuan thought it was just childish innocence.
But Ye Xingguang knew that her son never boasted. If he truly had a way to help this unfortunate mother-to-be, it would be a great act of kindness. Ye Xingguang picked up her son, “Yinhe, what’s your plan?”
Mo Yinhe leaned over and whispered something into Ye Xingguang’s ear.
Ye Xingguang’s eyes lit up, “Why didn’t I think of that? Yes, it’s indeed a good idea.”
Ye Xingguang smiled, “Xia Siyuan, don’t worry. I promise you and your son will both survive. Come on, let’s eat. It’s just late-stage cancer, the sky isn’t falling.”
