"Mom… it's not a big deal, don't worry . " Huo Mian tried to console her mother-in-law .
"Mian… stop lying to me… I'm not an idiot… Chu and your face said it all… Could it be… your dad has cancer?" Mrs . Qin was as pale as a ghost as she asked them with a shaky voice .
"Mom… we're not sure yet, there's a tumor growing in my dad's brain . We don't know if it's benign or malignant . He needs surgery, but the success rates are low…" Qin Chu explained, word for word .
"Brain… tumor?" Mrs . Qin almost felt her entire body go weak; Huo Mian was fast enough to catch her before she collapsed .
"Mom… are you okay?"
"Mom, don't be so sad . Perhaps Dad's tumor is benign," Qin Chu decided to tell a white lie .
"He's too old to undergo surgery, will he survive a craniotomy? Your dad's health hasn't been great, I can't believe he would have a tumor… why is it him and not me?" Mrs . Qin wailed sadly .
Huo Mian felt heartbroken as she held her mother-in-law…
Mrs . Qin had a sharp tongue, but the truth was, she loved her husband very much . When they were young, she was incredibly beautiful, and people envied her and Qin Yumin very much .
This was too much of a blow to her at this age…
"Mom… don't be too sad, I'll make sure Dad is fine . "
Qin Chu was determined to be the main surgeon for his father's craniotomy . This way, he could ensure a higher success rate .
It was such a sudden decision that he got to discuss this bold decision with Huo Mian .
- The First Hospital -
Huo Mian and Qin Chu stayed with Mrs . Qin for a long time before the maid took her home while the young couple stayed behind to take care of Qin Yumin .
They were in the VIP patient room, so family members had their own rooms and beds to rest in .
"Honey… you should get some rest, I'll take care of dad . "
"No, it's okay, I'll take care of him, you should go to bed . "
"Let's not be so polite with each other, just get some rest, will you? There's still a lot to do at the company tomorrow… our stocks are rising, but we can't relax yet . We also have to keep an eye on Huo Siqian in case he tries something else . "
"Okay, sounds good . " In the end, Qin Chu couldn't win against Huo Mian . He turned around and walked into the bedroom…
Huo Mian sat down on the chair next to Qin Yumin's bed and watched his drip, pulling his covers up here and there .
During rounds, the doctor and nurses all praised Huo Mian nonstop .
"Dr . Huo is such a great woman . Those who don't know what's going on would think that she's Mr . Qin's daughter… she treats him and his wife like her own parents… seriously . "
"Yeah, Dr . Huo doesn't talk a lot, but she proves her heart through her actions and isn't fake at all… I like women like her . "
"She's amazing, apparently Qin Chu loves Dr . Huo very much . If I were a man, I would like her too . She's smart, considerate, and not high maintenance . "
The nurses discussed amongst themselves…
After midnight, Huo Mian became so tried that she napped for a while . A sigh woke her up .
"Dad… you're up?" She immediately stood up .
"Mhm…" Qin Yumin's breathing was weak .
"Dad, do you want water? Are you hungry?"
Qin Yumin shook his head slowly . "Mian…"
"Yes, Dad?" Huo Mian turned around and answered .
"Sit down…" Qin Yumin waved his hand with great difficulty…
"Okay . " Huo Mian poured her father-in-law a glass of warm water and set it down on his bedside table . Then, she sat down on the chair beside him .
"Where's your mom and Chu?"
"Mom's really tired, so she went home to rest . Qin Chu's in the neighboring room, he's been really busy at the company, so I asked him to get some rest . Do you want me to get him?"
"No, it's okay… I actually wanted to talk to you . "
"Sure, go ahead . " Huo Mian nodded respectfully and stared at her father-in-law's exhausted face .
