The Male Lead's Substitute Wife
Ch.337 Illness (1)
Su Yaya went to the hospital to visit Father Shen. He was sitting up against the hospital bed and he seemed to be in a good condition. He looked at Su Yaya with a smile, and asked gently, âWhy are you here?â
Su Yaya walked over and said, âDad, how do you feel?â
Father Shen smiled lightly and said: âIâm fine.â As he met with her questioning gaze, he seemed to be afraid that she wouldnât believe him, and then continued: âSeriously, in fact, I already knew that I had cancer for quite some time, so itâs nothing too depressing, it is what it is, maybe itâs even good news.â
Su Yaya asked: âWhen did you discover that you were sick? Why didnât you come back earlier?â
Father Shen smiled and said, âI was busy having fun outside. I was already sick anyway, I definitely had to have a good time before coming back. Why overthink it, right? Just live in the moment!â
Although he seemed carefree and relaxed, Su Yaya could tell that he wasnât. When a person is sick, heâll for sure feel bad and find it hard to face the truth. At that time, he didnât come home, was probably because of this reason. Since he was going to die anyway, so just live life to its fullest.
Su Yaya could understand where he was coming from, and felt sorry for him, she said: âDonât overthink it, weâll get the best doctor to treat you, and youâll for sure recover.â
Father Shen smiled and said: âI know my own body, whether it can be cured, wouldnât I know? I have seen a doctor when I was abroad, they said that I donât have much time left.â
Su Yaya felt sad when she heard Father Shen say this, and comforted him: âDonât be so pessimistic. Miracles happen, maybe we can find a good doctor to cure you.â
Father Shen waved his hand and said, âWhy suffer? Can cancer be cured so easily?â
âDadâ¦â¦â Su Yaya wanted to continue on, and he quickly said: âLetâs not talk about this, letâs talk about something else.â As he said this, he looked behind her, but no one else came in, he said, âIs Xiu Qi okay?â
Su Yaya guessed what was on his mind and quickly said: âHeâs doing well, heâs just busy at work. He is still in the office for a meeting today, thatâs why he didnât come to visit you.â
Father Shen smiled as if he didnât care, and said, âYou donât need to comfort me, wouldnât I know whatâs going on? Heâs mad at me and doesnât want to see me. Itâs no big deal, donât take it to heart, Iâm used to it.â
Su Yaya had no choice but to comfort him and said, âDad, itâs actually not like this. Xiuqi is really worried about you. Heâs just really busy, thatâs why heâs not here.â
Father Shen smiled and said, âYes, heâs all grown up now and is a leader. Now heâs in charge of such a large company, heâs not as free and relaxed as before. The burden and stress he carries, all the employees he has to feed!â
Su Yaya felt rather sad when she heard Father Su say this, so she changed the subject and said, âDad, let me peel an apple for you.â
Father Shen smiled and nodded, âOkay, one apple then.â
Su Yaya took out an apple from the fruit basket next to her and peeled off the apple skin with a knife. The apple skin remained intact as it touched the ground.
Su Yaya handed the apple to Father Shen after she was done. Father Shen didnât take it, instead he said: âI canât eat so much of it. Cut the apple in half and just give me some.â
Su Yaya followed his instructions, she cut the apple into small pieces and gave them to Father Shen.
Father Shen only ate three or four pieces and was done, he then said that he was tired and asked Su Yaya to head back first.
âThere are so many germs in the hospital. Itâs not good for you to stay here for a long time. Go home and rest. I have nurses, doctors, and caretakers here for me. Iâll call them if anything happens. You donât have to worry about me.â Father Shen said with a smile.
Su Yaya said, âOkay then, Iâll head back first, Iâll come visit you again tomorrow.â
Father Shen waved his hand and said, âNo, you donât need to come tomorrow. Iâll be here for two days and Iâll head back home by myself. Youâre pregnant and should stay home and rest. Running back and forth like this will make me very worried. Just stay at home.â
Su Yaya had to think of another way and said: âThen Iâll ask my nanny at home to make some chicken soup for you.â
Father Shen smiled and said, âThis is even more unnecessary. If Iâm craving for anything, Iâll just let them head to the restaurant to get me what I want, it wonât be as troublesome.â
Su Yaya said: âHome cooked food is always better than that of a restaurant.â
Father Shen shook his head and said, âAll the chefs in the restaurant here can cook even better than your nanny at home. Okay, okay, letâs not talk about this anymore. I donât want to trouble you. Just go back. Iâm a grown man. I have plenty of money to eat whatever I want. You donât have to worry about it.â
Su Yaya nodded and said goodbye to Father Shen, âThen Iâll head back first, Iâll come visit soon.â
As if he was tired of her, Father Shen urged: âHurry up, go home.â His gaze and his tone seemed as if he just wanted her to leave immediately.
