Chapter 638: Side Story 051 Should I Keep Going or Not (Third Update)

Mu Cidian grabbed Xin Zaozao’s cell phone and rushed out of her house.

He spoke into the phone, “Don’t panic, call 120 first, I’ll be right back.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll wait for you.” Lei Qian’s crying could be clearly heard through the phone.

Mu Cidian quickly got back into his car, slammed on the gas pedal, and madly drove off.

He arrived home.

At this moment, the ambulance also arrived.

Wan Quan was placed on a mobile stretcher and loaded into the ambulance.

Mu Cidian parked the car and followed onto the ambulance.

Lei Qian had already swollen eyes from crying her heart out.

She said, “When she woke up this morning, I helped her to the bathroom. Suddenly, she started vomiting everything she ate last night. Eventually, she was vomiting blood, and she passed out. I didn’t know what to do.”

Mu Cidian nodded and comforted her, “Don’t panic for now.”

Lei Qian managed to calm herself down.

The ambulance rushed to the hospital and quickly took her into the emergency room.

Mu Cidian and Lei Qian waited anxiously outside the emergency room.

Both of them could not sit still.

After a long wait, the doctor finally came out, and Mu Cidian quickly asked, “How is she?”

“We saved her, but the situation is not optimistic.” The doctor said with a sigh, “Your mother has had a reaction to the drug and once she’s resistant to the drug, her days are numbered. We suggest that she be hospitalized for stability before being discharged.”

“Okay.” Mu Cidian quickly nodded.

“Spend more time with your mother during this period, as her health could take a turn for the worse at any given moment…

“Hmm,” Mu nodded.

The doctor left helplessly.

Wan Quan was wheeled out.

She was as pale as a ghost.

At that moment, she looked like she had stopped breathing.

Lei Qian rushed over and asked, “Auntie, are you okay?”

Wan Quan moved her fingers slightly, opened her mouth, but no words came out.

“Auntie…”

“The patient is very weak right now. Let her rest and do not disturb her,” the nurse hurriedly said.

Lei Qian managed to calm herself down.

Mu Cidian and Lei Qian followed the nurse into Wan Quan’s hospital room.

Wan Quan was extremely weak and fell asleep as soon as she laid on the bed.

Over the course of the illness, Wan Quan’s body had significantly lost weight, leaving only a thin layer of skin on her IV-dripping arm.

Mu Cidian sat next to her, silently keeping her company.

Lei Qian occasionally sobbed on the side.

“Stop crying,” said Mu Cidian.

Lei Qian wiped away her tears and tried her best to calm herself down. “Okay.”

“Did my mom eat breakfast this morning?”

“No.”

“I’ll go buy her some breakfast.”

“I’ll go instead. You should spend some more time with her. She really wants you to be with her,” Lei Qian said. “After you left last night, she became agitated. I don’t know if it was because of last night…”

Mu Cidian’s throat tightened.

“Mu Cidian, I’m sorry. I feel so guilty about what happened last night,” said Lei Qian apologetically.

“It’s not your fault,” Mu Cidian said lightly. “Let’s not discuss last night anymore.”

Lei Qian looked at Mu Cidian.

“Can you please buy some congee for my mother?” Mu Cidian asked.

“Okay. I’ll go right away.” Lei Qian quickly left.

After she left, Mu Cidian stayed by Wan Quan’s side.

Wan Quan was in a deep sleep, and her face showed no signs of improvement.

The hospital room was quiet.

Mu Cidian’s phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw Song Lifei’s number. He remembered that he had taken Xin Zaozao’s phone.

He answered, “Song Lifei.”

“It’s me, Xin Zaozao.”

“Hmm,” Mu Cidian replied.

“When will you return my phone?”

“I’m at the hospital right now.”

“Do I need to come and get it myself?”

“That would be helpful.”

“Give me the room number.”

“I’ll text it to Song Lifei’s phone.”

She hung up.

Mu Cidian put down the phone.

At that moment, Wan Quan suddenly woke up.

She weakly opened her eyes, looked at Mu Cidian, and despite her frailty, anger laced her words, “Why are you here? Please leave!”

“Mom, the doctor said you’ve had a bad reaction to the medication. You need to rest now. I asked Lei Qian to buy you some breakfast. We need to stay in the hospital for a few days.”

“I don’t need you to look after me.”

“Mom.” Mu Cidian took her hand, “Don’t say anything else, I will listen to you in the future.”

“Really? Will you listen to me and break up with Xin Zaozao?”

“We’ve already broken up.”

“If you’ve broken up, why were you at her place last night?!” Wan Quan asked, obviously wanting to speak in a harsh tone, but lacked the strength at the moment.

“But it doesn’t mean I can be with her again.”

“Mu Cidian, don’t lie to me here.”

“I’m not lying to you.” Mu Cidian said, but didn’t continue on the topic, “The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself and stop overthinking. The doctor said your health has deteriorated because you worry too much, you should rest and recuperate.”

“As long as you are not with Xin Zaozao, my illness will naturally get better.”

“I’ve already promised you.” Mu Cidian comforted.

Wan Quan still wanted to say something.

Mu Cidian interrupted her directly, “Okay, stop talking now, the doctor said you need to rest and recuperate.”

At this moment, Wan Quan was indeed exhausted and didn’t speak anymore.

Mu Cidian sat quietly by her side.

After waiting for a while.

Lei Qian came into the ward with a bowl of porridge.

Mu Cidian hurriedly took the porridge.

Lei Qian whispered in Mu Cidian’s ear, “Xin Zaozao is here, waiting for you outside the door.”

Mu Cidian’s hand paused for a moment with the bowl of porridge in his hands, he said, “Can you feed my mom for me?”

“Okay.”

Mu Cidian handed the porridge back to Lei Qian and left the ward.

Outside the ward, Xin Zaozao was standing at the door.

Mu Cidian returned her phone to her.

Xin Zaozao asked, “Is your mom inside?”

Mu Cidian nodded.

“Is it really serious?”

“Mm.”

At that moment, it seemed as if Xin Zaozao raised her foot as if to look inside the ward.

Mu Cidian suddenly blocked her way.

Xin Zaozao looked at him.

“At this moment…It’s not suitable for my mom to see you.”

“What? Are you scared she might see me and die from a heart attack?” Xin Zaozao joked sarcastically.

“She really doesn’t have much time left.” Mu Cidian spoke in a heavy tone.

“Don’t worry, I’m not kind-hearted enough to care about her life and death. Be a good filial son.” Xin Zaozao turned around and left. As she was leaving, she said, “Don’t treat me like a mad dog in the future.”

Mu Cidian knew she was referring to what happened last night.

But now, he seemed too exhausted to explain anything.

At this moment, he would choose to stay with his mother.

He returned to the ward.

In the ward, Lei Qian was feeding Wan Quan. Wan Quan ate very slowly, it took a long time to finish a small bite.

After eating about half, Wan Quan couldn’t eat anymore.

Lei Qian then accompanied Wan Quan in conversation and even gave her body massages during break times.

Mu Cidian was a bit moved seeing Lei Qian treat his mother so well.

Wan Quan and Lei Qian chatted for a while, and then Wan Quan fell asleep again from exhaustion.

Lei Qian covered Wan Quan with a blanket.

In a worried tone, she said, “I don’t know if Auntie can make it through this time.”

Mu Cidian didn’t respond.

Lei Qian walked to Mu Cidian’s side and sat next to him, she said, “Do you want to eat some fruit?”

“No need.”

“Just now Xin Zaozao came up with me to look for you, she said…” Lei Qian paused mid-sentence.

“What did she say?” Mu Cidian asked her.

“She told me to keep an eye on you and not to let you run around.” After Lei Qian said this, she bit her lip.

Mu Cidian pursed his lips.

“What’s going on between you and Xin Zaozao…”

“Lei Qian, I really appreciate your kindness towards my mom, but as for other matters, I’d rather you not ask too much.”

“I’m sorry, I was just…I was just…” Lei Qian’s eyes suddenly turned red, “I just felt that Auntie disliked you guys being together so much, and Xin Zaozao was so mean to you. She doesn’t love you at all, so why do you insist on being with her… I’m sorry, I don’t mean to interfere, I just don’t think it’s worth it for you to love her so deeply when she doesn’t care about you…I’m sorry, just ignore my rambling.”

Lei Qian’s speech was broken.

After saying this, she walked away immediately.

She ran into the restroom located inside the ward and shut the door.

It seemed like she was afraid to face him.

As if she was afraid he would hate her.

Mu Cidian leaned against the sofa, lost in thought and feeling distressed.

In the end.

Is there any chance for him and Xin Zaozao?

In the end, by maintaining such a relationship, are they just delaying the inevitable for each other?!

Mu Cidian was somewhat lost.

Should he persist in this relationship, which seemed to be wrong from the start?!
