Chapter 483 His emotions suddenly broke down.

Su Youling thought about it again. Su Hong was the grandmother of several children. It was only natural for him to put on a show to win over the children. It had nothing to do with her. She didn't need to be presumptuous.

Unfortunately, Su Hong didn't appreciate it. She gave Li Tingxi a forced smile and said, "Mr. Li, you're joking. What misunderstanding could there be between us? I've always been like this. If I've offended you, I'll apologize, but that wasn't my intention."

Li Tingxi was rendered speechless by her words.

As the atmosphere remained tense, Yueyue suddenly poked her little head in, her eyes darting back and forth between Li Tingxi, Su Youling, and Su Hong, her little face full of apprehension. "Grandma, Mom and handsome uncle, are you... arguing?"

Li Tingxi and Su Youling's expressions changed instantly, and they smiled at her.

Su Youling walked over, took her little hand, squatted down and pinched her little face. "We didn't quarrel. Mommy has some work-related matters to ask Uncle Li for advice. Work matters are very serious, but you wouldn't understand if Mommy told you."

Yueyue seemed to understand but not quite, then tiptoed and whispered in her ear, "But Grandma looks fierce, Mom, did you make Grandma angry?"

What she thought was a whisper was clearly overheard by Su Hong, who was immediately amused and walked over to give Yueyue a playful pat on the bottom. "Why is Grandma being mean? You little ingrate, Grandma has spoiled you for nothing, and you're making me angry with your mother."

Yueyue chuckled twice, then hugged her neck and acted cute and charming: "Grandma is the best, Yueyue loves Grandma the most. If Mom makes you angry, Yueyue will help you scold her."

Su Youling was both amused and exasperated, teasing her, "Little liar, one minute you say you love your mom the most, the next minute you say you love your grandma the most. Which of your little mouth's words is the truth?"

Yueyue stuck out her tongue and shook her head mischievously. "Grandma and Mom are both the people I love the most, but liking them is different. I can like Grandma more today and Mom more tomorrow!"

Su Hong and Su Youling were both amused by her masterful attempt at impartiality.

Su Hong's anger dissipated completely. She bent down, picked up the little girl, and walked towards the balcony. "Oh dear, our little princess, I don't know if it's because you've been sweet-talking her, but she seems a bit heavier than usual today."

Upon hearing this, Yueyue blushed.

Su Youling burst out laughing.

The forgotten Li Tingxi, like an outsider, watched the warm and harmonious figures of the mother and her two daughters from behind, feeling a sense of loss, and stood still for a moment.

From a distance, it has a rather desolate feel to it.

Suddenly, Yueyue clung to Su Hong's shoulder, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Li Tingxi and waved her little hand at him, "Handsome uncle, come on up!"

All the gloom was dispelled at this moment.

Li Tingxi's face relaxed, and he followed.

Su Hong's expression was somewhat indifferent, but out of consideration for Yueyue, she didn't say anything more.

Yueyue kept chattering away, telling Su Hong how delicious the cake Li Tingxi bought was, and that she had even saved a portion for Su Hong.

Su Hong felt a pang of bitterness when she heard her beloved granddaughter constantly mentioning Li Tingxi and even had to reluctantly agree with her praise of Li Tingxi. She felt as if the fruit she had painstakingly nurtured had been plucked by someone else.

Not long after, Yangyang's test results came back.

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

Li Tingxi, Su Youling, Su Hong, and the experts had a detailed discussion.

The experts looked pessimistic.

“Although Yangyang’s previous injury was not fatal, it kept causing his condition to recur, all because he has a congenital immune deficiency,” the expert showed Yangyang’s pathology report to Li Tingxi. “His white blood cell count is below the normal standard, so even minor illnesses can trigger local inflammation, anemia, oral ulcers, and of course, some other symptoms.”

The expert paused, his gaze falling on Su Youling, and said with a pessimistic tone, "This is a congenital illness. Once the child is injured, it is very difficult to fully recover. As a mother, you should know this all too well."

Su Youling withdrew her gaze from the report, her hands unconsciously clenching, pinching her palms without thinking, and asked urgently, "Doctor, is there a way to cure it completely?"

The expert looked at Li Tingxi, who also had a solemn expression, and said, "It's difficult to overcome, but it's worth a try. We're already discussing treatment options."

Unable to contain her excitement, Su Youling turned around and grabbed Su Hong's hand, "Mom!"

Su Hong was no less composed than her, hugging her and patting her shoulder, "That's great."

Li Tingxi asked, "When can we have a plan?"

"We cannot say for sure right now, but in short, there will be no results in the short term."

According to the experts, Yangyang still needs to receive some basic treatments regularly until a treatment plan is available.

This was something Yangyang had become accustomed to.

He felt unwell all day, and after receiving his injection and medication, he vomited violently due to a drug reaction, and even his eyes turned red, which was unusual for him.

Su Youling felt heartbroken and wished she could suffer in his place, but she could only pretend to be strong and encourage and comfort Yangyang.

By the time Yangyang finally fell asleep from exhaustion, it was already evening. Even in his sleep, he still had a furrowed brow, and his small face, which was already the size of a palm, looked quite sunken. One could imagine how much he had suffered that day.

Su Youling felt overwhelmed with guilt, and the moment she left the ward, she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore.

She told Su Hong that she wanted to go out for some fresh air, and left Xingxing and Yueyue in Su Hong's care before going to the small garden outside.

As I sat down on the bench, my mind kept replaying every detail of the doctor's description of Yangyang's condition, and my shoulders slumped down.

Her eyes gradually welled up with tears. She placed her hands on her knees, pressed her body down, and buried her face in her palms. The surroundings were so quiet that only the faint sound of the wind could be heard. Tears streamed down her face.

Li Tingxi noticed that Su Youling was acting strangely, and after hesitating, he finally followed her.

From a distance, he could only see Su Youling's hunched back, so thin and frail that it seemed a strong wind could blow her away.

He unexpectedly recalled the moment when he grabbed Su Youling's wrist in the lounge, the delicate touch that seemed so fragile it would snap at the slightest touch.

In just a few days, she has become so thin that she looks like nothing but a skeleton.

Li Tingxi unconsciously frowned as he walked over to Su Youling with mixed feelings.

Only when he got closer could he see that Su Youling was trembling slightly, her head was bowed low, and he could hear barely audible sobs.

Li Tingxi felt as if his heart had been suddenly gripped tightly, and his brows furrowed even more as he slowly sat down beside her.
