My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

“How can I not worry!” Lu Weixi jerked her head upwards, her eyes filled with anger. She struggled to break from his embrace. “Easy for you to say, Qin Zhiyou! I know you and my mom don’t get along, but that does not give you the right to make snide remarks!” “You know nothing. How on earth could I not worry?”

“Who says I don’t understand?” Qin Zhiyou suddenly retorted. His voice laced with hidden suffering. “When my father passed away, I felt worse than you do now.”

Mention of this detail took the fight out of Lu Weixi. She immediately quieted down.

The corridor was empty except for the two of them. Neither spoke, allowing the lights overhead to dim with time. Only the red light near the operation room and faint light from the reception at the end of the passage still glowed.

When they left the Qin Family mansion it was already dawn. They left without disturbing the people of the second and third mansions, not daring to disturb Old Master Qin. They had quickly put on some clothes and left, even without informing Mr. Wang, Qin Zhiyou’s secretary. It was just the two of them.

Qin Zhiyou held her, held her so tightly. After a long while, he finally spoke: “I know you’re upset, and you’re also very worried. Yet, what’s the point of being impatient and punishing yourself at this point? It will not ease mom’s condition. Moreover, mom was diagnosed in time, and the doctors immediately intervened. You have to have faith! Mom has lived so tenaciously for many years, and her recent health has improved. She won’t be taken down by this illness.”

Actually, she knew there would come a day when her mother’s cancer would worsen, and metastasis would happen. But when the day truly came, she couldn’t accept it!

Just yesterday, her mother was still cheerfully talking to her about what she planned to do in the future, about how she was going to go to America for treatment. So, why did her condition deteriorate within a day?

Moreover, Dr. Zhao said that her mother’s condition was due to shock.

What could possibly have happened to shock her mother into such a state?

Just as Lu Weixi was wracked with worry, the operating room’s red light finally went off.

Lu Weixi wanted to ask about her mother’s condition but feared the answer. She wanted to know how her mother was, but she was afraid that the outcome would be the worst.

It was still Qin Zhiyou, who held her hand, and moved forward. Soon after, Zhao Zihuan and the others emerged, saying directly: “The operation was very successful, but we still need to monitor the patient’s post-operative condition.”

Lu Weixi was actually already worried about this. Cancer eats away at the body bit by bit. Moreover, chemotherapy, and surgery, not only kill cancer cells but also eliminate healthy cells. She was afraid that even with a successful surgery, her mother might not be able to sustain the recovery.

But now, all she could do was watch as her mother, still under the effects of anesthesia, was wheeled out of the operating room and moved to the intensive care unit. As the medical staff prepared the medications and equipment inside, Lu Weixi just stood at the window, watching the monitor’s feeble blinking — it felt like her mother’s life was slowly ebbing away.

Qin Zhiyou was by her side the whole time. Seeing her struggle, he wrapped his arms around her and comforted her gently: “Regardless, the operation was very successful. You have to believe in Mom.”

Lu Weixi leaned weakly into his embrace without saying a word, nodding her head only after a long while.

After some time, Zhao Zihuan, on his way out of the ward, was met with the sight of them leaning against each other..
