Li Zhanting frowned. "Then what should we do?"

Gu Momo calmly said, "The instrument I developed was jointly developed by my team half a year ago. It hasn't been released to the market yet, but all the parameters and treatment effects are on record, so you can rest assured. It can use lasers to gradually eliminate the tumor in Zixiao's brain. However, he is still young, and his various bodily functions have not yet reached a normal level. I can't adjust the large parameters to eliminate it all at once; I can only remove it in stages."

Upon hearing this news, Li Zhanting's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. "With this level of treatment intensity, how long will it take to completely eliminate it?"

“It’s done once a month, and it can be completely eliminated in one to two years,” Gu Momo answered truthfully, her voice suddenly choking up, “And…”

Li Zhanting narrowed his eyes; his intuition told him that Gu Momo's next words were the key point.

Gu Momo tilted her head slightly, took a deep breath, and looked intently at Li Zhanting. "I need Mr. Ting to give me special permission to enter the Li family compound. No matter the time or place, I can accompany Zixiao wherever he can go. This shouldn't be a difficult thing for you, right?"

Meeting Gu Momo's resolute eyes, Li Zhanting's deep gaze hardened with frost.

Suddenly, he smiled.

He casually put his hands in his pockets, a playful smile in his eyes. "So, can you tell me why?"

The Li family is a top-tier aristocratic family in the capital, with strict family rules. Even members of the Li family may not have such privileges. She, an outsider, wants such privileges just to accompany Zixiao?

She's not the child's mother, so why is she so concerned about his child?

Gu Momo smiled. Could she tell Li Zhanting that Zixiao's brain tumor was caused by years of extreme inner torment and loneliness?

This type of brain tumor is a rare disease internationally and has an extremely high mortality rate.

However, she also knew that Li Zhanting cared deeply for her Zixiao.

Logically speaking, Zixiao should not lack care and love.

So, the reason Zixiao fell ill was because he hadn't received her companionship and care over the years...

All he needs is a mother, all he needs is his mother...

Gu Momo's cold face showed no trace of a smile. She looked directly at Li Zhanting and said, "There is no other reason. I am his private doctor. I have the right to take care of him and accompany him until he is fully recovered. This is my duty as a doctor."

Li Zhanting frowned. That's it?

He had a strong feeling that this woman hadn't revealed the real reason.

He smiled slightly, "Okay, no problem. As long as you can cure my son, I can give you anything you want."

As he spoke, his deep eyes looked at Gu Momo, a playful smile appearing on his lips. "However, I have already said that aside from the child and the position of the young mistress of the Li family."

Gu Momo: "..."

She really wanted to slap him twice right now!

She casually waved her hand. "Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. I'm going to perform tumor removal surgery on Zixiao. You can continue being the watchdog."

After saying that, she turned and went into the house, slamming the door shut.

Li Zhanting, who was left outside: "..."

This Gu Momo, she really dares to do that!

Several hours later, the surgery was finally completed.

Li Zixiao, so small, lay quietly on the medical bed, his face pale, his eyes trembling, and his long, thick eyelashes damp with tears. He looked so weak and pitiful.

"Baby, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Momo's heart ached as she gently stroked his delicate face with her fingertips and asked softly.

Li Zixiao slowly shook his head, his mind not entirely clear, but he still managed to move his little hand and grasp the back of her hand resting on the edge of the bed. "Mommy~ I'm fine, please don't worry about me~"

Gu Momo's back stiffened. That "Mommy" felt like a knife stabbing into her chest, making even breathing incredibly painful.

She thought Li Zixiao was just in a daze and missed his mother too much. She was shocked and felt extremely sorry for him.

Zixiao and Jingxing are the same age, but this child seems much more mature and rational than Jingxing.

But think about it, how much grief and loneliness has this child endured to bear things that shouldn't be happening at his age?

"Baby, don't worry, Mommy will definitely take you and your sister away from here as soon as possible, Mommy promises." She bent down and left a long kiss on her son's forehead.

Li Qingling obediently poked her fluffy head out, revealing her big, bright eyes: "Mommy, Ling'er wants a kiss too~"

Gu Momo smiled happily, cupped Ling'er's cheeks, and gave her a kiss. "Come on! Mommy will give Ling'er one too!"

"Mommy, Mommy, Ling'er wants more!~"

"Sweetie~ Give one to Ling'er, and one to Zixiao too~ Mwah~"

Just then, Li Zhanting pushed open the door.

His deep gaze fell on this scene, and he, who should have been angry, was slightly taken aback.

Surprisingly, this scene feels... strangely harmonious.

Over the years, his greatest wish has been to find Liuli, give the children a warm home, and spend the rest of his life showering her with love to make amends to this good girl.

He had imagined countless times the scene of his family reunion, the warmth of which was just like the scene before his eyes.

What a pity.

A rational light flashed in Li Zhanting's eyes; Gu Momo was ultimately just a passerby in the Li family.

Gu Momo was somewhat surprised that Li Zhanting wasn't angry this time.

Li Zhanting immediately came over to check on Li Zixiao's body, his voice gentle, "Zixiao, how are you feeling? Is anything wrong?"
