"Mom, what are you talking about!"
Su Rao, perhaps noticing the coldness in the girl's eyes, didn't continue the conversation.
She was actually a relatively open-minded mother, but because of her child's experience, Su Rao felt torn. On the one hand, she wanted her child to make friends, but on the other, she also wanted her child to avoid harm, like any other parents.
Monday was the time to get the test results. After the doctor reviewed them, they would know when she would be discharged.
Su Qing had originally planned to go to the hospital's laboratory building to pick up the test results, but she put them on hold after meeting Jiang Sui.
For a moment, her expression wandered.
"Nannan, can Mommy be discharged now?"
Su Rao thought about being discharged everyday. She didn't want to stay in this expensive inpatient department. Although she'd heard there were a lot of subsidies, she still had to pay a portion of the cost. The subsidies were already very good, but she simply didn't want to spend a penny more, so she couldn't wait to be discharged.
She asked this question almost everyday, not just to Su Qing but also to the doctors, tirelessly.
Su Qing knew her inner thoughts and always told Su Rao the truth. she paused for a moment, then came to her senses.
"Not yet, Mom, don't worry. We need to wait for the test results to determine when you can be discharged."
"I heard from Doctor Cao that the test results were out today, weren't they?"
Su Rao couldn't remember anything else, but this one thing was crystal clear. Seeing Su Qing remain silent, her heart leaped into her throat.
"Qing Qing, tell me, is this become serious?"
Su Rao's brow furrowed, and she was about to throw off the covers and get out of bed.
"Qing Qing, no need treat already. Discharge. Mom knows myself fine. Look, I've been eating a lot these past few days and I'm in good spirits. Let's discharge."
Su Rao's eyes welled up as she spoke.
She sincerely didn't want to burden her daughter. She knew her own body—it was a bottomless pit.
Su Rao's sorrowful expression made Su Qing's eyes tinge with hidden sorrow. She bit her lip and held Su Rao's hand.
"Mom, don't let your imagination run wild. I haven't even gotten the test results yet. What are you talking about?"
The girl, who usually rarely expressed her emotions, now had tears in her eyes.
"Mom, you're all I have left. If you're sick, then treat you. How can you say such things?"
She stood tall, like a little adult.
Her eyes blazed at Su Rao, their determination refusing to yield.
Su Rao's lips trembled slightly, moving as if she were about to say something, but under her daughter's gaze, she remained silent.
Waves of tenderness spread between mother and daughter.
"Sister Su, just take good care of yourself. The surgery went very well."
Cao Wei Guang, who had walked in at some point, held the test results in his hand. His usually solemn expression now, perhaps touched by the mother and daughter, was tinged with a touch of warmth.
He seemed somewhat gentle.
He spread out the test results and placed them in front of the mother and daughter.
Su Qing was stunned. At that moment, she was still thinking about how she would get the test results and whether she would run into Jiang Sui again. In reality, there was nothing between them anymore. It was just that for some reason, Su Qing didn't want to run into him, but she also wanted to, but if she did, she would run or hide.
Such thoughts troubled her deeply.
But now, the test results had already been delivered to the two of them. It felt like she had missed an opportunity to see Jiang Sui. The moment this thought occurred to Su Qing, after a moment of shock, she regained her composure.
"I just went to the lab and brought you these test results. They show no abnormalities. Why are the mother and daughter crying?"
It was good news.
Cao Wei Guang lied slightly. He hadn't brought the test results himself, but rather a handsome young man who had given them to him, and who had told him not to tell them.
The boy's sincere eyes made Cao Wei Guang want to refuse, but for some reason he accepted.
He only wanted to ask something after seeing Su Qing, but he never uttered a word.
Su Rao now stared at Cao Wei Guang intently.
Carefully, she checked that the name and information written on the document were her own, and after confirming that there were no abnormalities, the grief on her face finally eased a little.
She looked at the doctor cautiously, a little uncertain.
"Doctor Cao, am I really alright?"
Like a withered tree reborn, her spirit instantly radiated.
Cao Wei Guang loosened his lip. Strictly speaking, he couldn't say she was alright. The current tests showed no metastasis, but he still needed to observe and see what happened next.
But seeing that hopeful look, and Su Qing's gaze, he nodded.
Su Qing's eyes widened with surprise. She looked at Su Rao, who also looked at her, and the mother and daughter embraced.
After a brief embrace, Su Rao looked at Cao Wei Guang with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
She seemed to be about to speak, but stopped herself.
"Doctor Cao, when can I be discharged?"
This was Su Rao's question, a question she couldn't avoid. After all, hospitals are expensive places.
"Doctor Cao, don't listen to my mother's nagging. Let her be discharged when it's time. We have money."
In fact, this illness had nearly drained both mother and daughter. Su Qing pinched her fingertips at her side and spoke with confidence.
The moment Cao Wei Guang laid eyes on this frail young woman, he felt she was stronger than most ordinary people. He never forgot the serious look on her face as she stood in front him, recording and videotaping with her phone.
That said I'll take responsibility.
In the end, she actually sent the video to his phone.
Cao Wei Guang was shocked to see such a shining light in a young girl.
"Qing Qing..."
Su Rao tugged at Su Qing's sleeve, refusing to let her talk nonsense. She figured since she was fine, it would be best for her to be discharged sooner rather than later.
She knew her family's financial situation. Although the hospital bill had been quietly placed in the girl's school bag, she would still take a peek at it when Su Qing went to the cafeteria to get food.
She knew all too well what the expenses were here.
She's spending her daughter's college money!
How could she have the heart to do that?
