Chapter 617: Chapter 619: Missed (6)
Lu Weixi had been supporting her on one side, but she was, after all, a woman and lacked strength. It was Qin Zhiyou who followed, swept up Lu’s mother in his arms, and before Weixi could react, he asked, “Where’s the doctor? Is the appointment set?”
“It’s set.” During her mother’s illness, Lu Weixi couldn’t afford to be distracted. Once she confirmed the location, Qin Zhiyou carried Lu’s mother into the elevator and they ascended.
When they finally reached the doctor’s office, the diagnosis was confirmed: she was in the “second phase” – the early to mid-stage of liver cancer.
Luckily, the cancer had been detected early and there was still a chance for treatment.
But liver cancer still has one of the highest mortality rates. Maybe it was triggered by Bai Changyou’s infidelity and depression, or perhaps it was due to stress, either way, the diagnosis was indisputable.
Qin Zhiyou said, “I can introduce the best doctors and the best oncology hospital. Aunt’s treatment is the priority!”
Even though Lu Weixi had come to a renowned three-tiered hospital, each place specializes in something. Yan City had over ten such hospitals, but the ranking among them varied.
At that moment, Lu Weixi had no other choice but to allow Qin Zhiyou to make the arrangements. Being in Hanhai for two years, seeking the best hospital for liver treatment in Yan City would be a simple task for him. He quickly found a hospital and pulled some strings to ensure the specialist was available.
This kind of networking was something not even Bai Changyou could achieve easily. Even though Lu Weixi despised Qin Zhiyou, she had to accept his help.
She and her mother were still hesitant until Qin Zhiyou said, “If you don’t want to, once I tell Zhisu, he’d do the same. He’d contact the doctors. Aunt’s treatment is the priority.”
Lu Weixi had nothing to say against that. It was Qin Zhiyou who had arranged the doctor, so naturally, he would accompany them to the hospital.
In the hospital, after the doctor reviewed the report and examined Lu’s mother, the cancer diagnosis was confirmed without a doubt. If Lu Weixi harbored any doubt previously, having it confirmed by two separate hospitals left her feeling on the verge of collapse.
Even though the cancer was confirmed, the how and when of the treatment was something that still needed further discussion. Qin Zhiyou said, since he introduced them, naturally, he would arrange a hospital bed for them. They could be admitted as soon as tomorrow.
After running around two hospitals without eating anything, they left the hospital around five in the afternoon. Qin Zhiyou took them to a nearby restaurant. At the insisting of Lu’s mother, Lu Weixi paid.
Although neither of them had the appetite, one knew she had to stay strong for her daughter while the other knew she couldn’t let her mother down as she was her sole support now. So, both of them tried their best to remain composed.
After finishing their meal, they had to return home to pack up.
Qin Zhiyou had nothing to say about this, he insisted on following them home. Since he already did so much for them, Lu Weixi didn’t refuse this time.
Later, Lu’s mother rested inside while Lu Weixi didn’t dare to express anything in front of her mother, but once she closed the door, she felt a little collapse. Qin Zhiyou attempted to comfort her, eager to get her to lean on him, but she didn’t agree.
Finally, unable to control his yearning, Qin Zhiyou took the initiative to kiss her. This passionate scene, unfortunately, was seen by a just-arrived Qin Zhigu.
