Chapter 156: Chapter 156: She has a tumor

Qin Zhuzhu pressed a button to answer the call. There was an unfamiliar voice on the other end.

"Hello, is this Miss Qin, daughter of Song Ping?" A woman’s voice sounded on the phone.

"Yes, who is this speaking?" When she answered the call, a strange, ominous feeling washed over her, as if something bad was going to happen. She felt uneasy and uncomfortable.

"This is Yanxian Hospital. Your mother fainted this evening. We are calling her family members to let you know of her condition."

"W...what? Fainted? What condition?" Qin Zhuzhu’s lips quivered, her small frame trembling as if the weather was cold.

"You don’t know? Your mother has a tumor. She needs an operation as soon as possible. To discuss the details, please come to the hospital," the woman said.

"I’ll be there soon," Qin Zhuzhu found a motorbike in the villa’s garage and rushed to the hospital.

When Qin Zhuzhu arrived, Jiang Wubai was already waiting outside the ward. The worried look on his face was clearly visible.

"Uncle Wubai, what’s going on? Wasn’t my mom fine earlier?"

He pulled her away from the door and shushed her.

"Keep it down. Your mom’s sleeping."

Qin Zhuzhu nodded and took some deep breaths to calm herself down.

"We were walking in the park this evening after getting off work. You know your mother—she doesn’t like to stay idle and live off other people’s money. Moreover, she didn’t want you to worry about her living expenses, so I found a job for her. It’s an easy job with average pay. You know I really couldn’t try to shove a lot of money into her hands," Jiang Wubai’s eyes shone as he spoke of her mother’s character.

Qin Zhuzhu and Jiang Wubai were seated on a bench in the waiting room. She noticed how much Jiang Wubai cared for her mother. It seemed like her mother had managed to let go of her father and found someone she could be happy with.

"She’s really smart and stubborn. She knows if I’m overpaying her for a small job. Just this evening, I left her for a while to wait for me while I bought some snacks. When I came back," Jiang Wubai’s face was pale, and his eyes were tired, "I found her lying on the ground."

The scene must have been shocking for Jiang Wubai.

"The doctors said that she has stage three stomach cancer and won’t live long unless the operation is successful," Jiang Wubai’s face was that of someone who had been defeated.

Qin Zhuzhu felt like a hammer had hit her hard on the head.

Her mother never had any illnesses or injuries. How did this happen? And it was stage three, no less. There should have been signs of her illness.

"It will be successful. We must never give up," Qin Zhuzhu tried to stay positive.

"Uncle Wubai, why don’t you go back and get some rest? Tomorrow you can come again and see Mom. I’ll accompany her tonight."

"Okay," Jiang Wubai nodded. "But what about you? Ah Ping wouldn’t want to see you tire yourself out."

"It’s okay. I’m still young and energetic!" Qin Zhuzhu smiled, a faint, sad smile despite trying to look happy.

Qin Zhuzhu didn’t sleep that night. She stayed by her mother’s side in the hospital, watching the IV drip continuously at a peaceful pace. The monitor on her left beeped, the lines on the screen moving up and down.

It was here that Qin Zhuzhu suddenly felt all alone, lost in thought. She took her mother’s hand in hers, giving it a squeeze.

"Mom, why didn’t you tell me?"

Jiang Wubai sighed. No matter how hard he tried to persuade her, she wouldn’t leave. Maybe it was because she was going through a hard time, finding out that her mother had been diagnosed with stage three cancer.

Jiang Wubai looked at the mother and daughter in the ward, his eyes glistening. Then he turned around and left.

The next morning.

Sanya knocked on the door softly, motioning for Qin Zhuzhu to come out and talk to her.

"Sanya, what’s wrong?"

"You can go to work. I’ll look after Aunt Song for you," Sanya put a hand on her shoulder.

"Thanks, but I already applied for sick leave."

"Sick leave?! But you just joined the company a few days ago! Taking sick leave at this time will make your boss think that you’re irresponsible and not taking your job seriously," Sanya wanted to scold Qin Zhuzhu immediately.

"That Bai Qianhua will go around spreading rumors about you! Who knows what tricks and trouble she may cause for you? We can’t let her succeed!"

Qin Zhuzhu was too tired to deal with that White Lotus at the moment.

"If she wants to spread rumors, then let her. After all, I can beat those rumors back to where they came from."

"Xiao Zhu, that’s not really the point. The point is you need to rest. You haven’t slept for an entire night. What if you get insomnia?" Sanya nagged her as if she were her mother.

Insomnia?

Qin Zhuzhu couldn’t help but revealed a dazed expression.

Sanya raised her eyebrows with a confused expression.

"Why? Did I say something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Sanya opened her compact powder to check if there was anything on her face.

"Nothing. I was just thinking," Qin Zhuzhu was reminded of Shentu Jing’s illness. Shentu Jing always had insomnia and relied on sleeping pills to fall asleep.

"Don’t think anymore. I’ll take over watching Aunt Song for you. Go on! Wash yourself up and eat something. I’ll let you know when Aunt Song is awake," Sanya pushed Qin Zhuzhu down the hall to the restroom.

"Alright! Alright! Stop pushing. I can go myself," Qin Zhuzhu brushed her off and finally went into the restroom.

Sanya took out her phone and checked whether Qin Zhuzhu had come out yet.

"Since you don’t want to take care of yourself, I know someone who can take care of you," Sanya had a mischievous smile as she typed a number.
