Chapter 154: Chapter 153 We’re Going Home

Qu Tong saw that Ke Jun was genuinely anxious and didn’t insist on him staying.

The cooperation matters still needed Ke Jun to handle, and since there was not much use in staying behind with Xu An, she simply accompanied Ke Jun to the hospital.

On the way, Qu Tong learned that Ke Jun’s son had been suffering from a genetic disease from a young age, spending 90% of his time in the hospital every year, and the cost of treatment had emptied the family’s savings.

Even so, there had been no good news.

Lately, after consuming Energy Plants from Sweetheart Farm, his condition had worsened.

It was at that time that he found out the purification value of the fruit and vegetables from Sweetheart Farm did not meet the standards, and before he could confront the farm’s person in charge, the matter reached Qu Jianwen’s ears.

In the end, the farm not only refused to compensate him but also framed him, fired him, and initiated an industry-wide sabotage against him.

The man who took over his role as the operations and marketing director was none other than his trusted friend, who he puzzled over how company documents ended up in his room until surveillance revealed his wife had gotten together with him.

Facing pressure from the company, his family, and the hospital, Ke Jun didn’t collapse because he was the only support left for his son Xiaoguang.

That was why he later sought out Qu Tong.

The three of them arrived at the hospital, and as the elevator doors opened, they immediately saw a plump woman arguing with the nursing staff at the entrance to a ward, with three nurses clearly showing frustration and helplessness typical when dealing with medical disputes.

Seeing Ke Jun arrive gave the nurses a sigh of relief, "Mr. Ke, you’re finally here. This lady claims to be the child’s mother and insists on processing his discharge."

Earlier, when Xiaoguang came out from chemotherapy and Ke Jun was not around, the plump woman claimed to be Xiaoguang’s mother, and since Xiaoguang recognized her, the doctors didn’t think much of it and told her about Xiaoguang’s condition.

Who would have thought that instead of being upset, the plump woman insisted on processing Xiaoguang’s discharge. It was only when the duty nurse sensed something wrong and intervened that a crisis was averted, as Xiaoguang had just finished chemotherapy and was still on oxygen and IV fluids; he couldn’t just be discharged like that.

Ke Jun approached with a stern face, pulling the woman away from the entrance to the ward, "We’ve already settled our matters, what are you doing here again?"

"Xiaoguang is my son, can’t I come to see him?" the plump woman retorted defiantly, hands on her hips.

"Come to see him? Before we got divorced, you hardly ever visited twice, now there’s no need for your false concern," Ke Jun retorted sharply.

A flash of guilt crossed the woman’s eyes.

Just then, a weak call came from the ward, "Daddy!"

Ke Jun immediately gave up the quarrel and walked inside, while Qu Tong and Xu An exchanged glances. Xu An stepped forward to help the nursing staff keep the plump woman outside, and Qu Tong followed the nurse into the ward.

Qu Tong looked at the child on the bed, around seven or eight years old, wearing a loose hospital gown, breathing oxygen, with IV needles in both hands, surrounded by a collection of diagnostic equipment.

Ke Jun sat beside the bed, straightening the IV bottles for Xiaoguang and checking for any discomfort they might be causing him.

Xiaoguang’s gaze lingered on the people present before settling earnestly on Ke Jun’s face, "Daddy, I want to go home."

Ke Jun paused for a moment, quickly realizing that with the loud dispute at the door, Xiaoguang might have been awake for a while already.

Ke Jun comforted him, "Xiaoguang still needs treatment, you can’t leave yet, but don’t worry, Daddy will come to keep you company every day."

Xiaoguang’s eyelids drooped down, and he fell silent.

Ke Jun could only keep patting Xiaoguang’s hand that wasn’t receiving the IV, whispering words of comfort.

Soon after, the nurse called for the doctor.

After tinkering with some machines, the doctor asked the nurse to remove the IV tubes and oxygen.

Then he called Ke Jun to the side.

The doctor left Ke Jun with a heavy-hearted piece of advice, "Enjoy the last bit of time you have; if things go well, you might have another six months."

Ke Jun felt as though he had been struck by a thunderbolt. He felt lightheaded, his eyes dry, and his breathing became difficult.

Ke Jun stood in place for quite a while before he could steady his emotions and return to the hospital room.

He sat back down by the bedside, took Xiaoguang’s hand, and said with a smile, "Alright, let’s go home."

"Really?" Xiaoguang’s eyes instantly filled with color.

"Mhm," Ke Jun nodded firmly and leaned over the bed to hug Xiaoguang.

His shoulders trembled slightly as he suppressed his tears to prevent himself from breaking down.

Qu Tong observed the scene and could only sigh softly to herself.

She had taken the opportunity to inquire about the situation with the nurse and had also looked up information about genetic diseases online.

Genetic diseases, similar to immune deficiency disorders, are just like spiritual power outbreaks and represent medical challenges that have yet to be overcome.

Genetic diseases are like chronic cancer; they vary in severity. Some can live into their twenties, while others may die just days after birth, but no one lives past thirty.

Ke Jun asked Qu Tong to look after Xiaoguang while he quickly went to handle the discharge procedures.

Xiaoguang was very happy to know he was being discharged, but perhaps he was a bit shy. He took a couple of glances at Qu Tong, his eyes filled with curiosity, but he did not speak and just quietly played with the light brain.

Qu Tong softly extended her spiritual power and could hear the plump auntie shamelessly pestering Ke Jun with questions as she followed him.

"Xiaoguang doesn’t like staying in the hospital. I’m getting him discharged for his benefit, and you’re going to have to do it too."

"Who were the two people that came with you just now? Are they your subordinates? Or new recruits?"

"Let me go home with you. I can take better care of Xiaoguang."

"I’ve already broken up with him. I’m planning to come back and live with you properly. I don’t mind if life with you is hard."

"I heard Xiaoguang’s chemotherapy costs 80,000 Star Coins a month. Did you find a job with a high salary?"

"Once Xiaoguang is discharged, we’ll have fewer expenses. Life won’t be as tight, and you’ll be able to save some money to hire a nanny or buy a robot."

The plump auntie claimed she didn’t mind, but all she did was scheme.

Finally, Ke Jun could no longer take it, "Xiaoguang is your son! What kind of mother are you? You think you can just come back after Zhang Hua is fired? Life doesn’t work that way. I won’t argue with you out of consideration for our past relationship, but don’t you two ever show up in front of me and Xiaoguang again."

The plump auntie wanted to say something more, but she was already shut out by Ke Jun.

Ke Jun’s flyer only had two seats, so they took Qu Tong’s flyer instead.

When Qu Tong’s flyer was released, Xiaoguang didn’t take his eyes off of it. Ke Jun introduced, "Xiaoguang, these two are Daddy’s bosses, Miss Qu and Young Master Xu."

Xiaoguang glanced at Qu Tong, twisting his fingers, and spoke softly, "I know them. I have seen them at the Military League. Sister is the War God’s Princess Consort."

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow. So Xiaoguang was a loyal fan of Si Yuting, the Empire War God’s prestige appeals to both young and old.

No wonder Xiaoguang kept sneaking peeks at her while looking at the light brain, probably comparing the real person to the photos.

Qu Tong smiled, as if to say hello.

"Are we heading back to the Drunken Star River?" Qu Tong asked. Drunken Star River was the restaurant they had just dined in.
