My Military Brother is My CEO Husband

When the female lead was 18, she got engaged and then broke off the engagement with her first love. On the day they were supposed to get married, she instead married him – the man she hated the m...

Chapter 51 Who are you?

A complete stranger walked into the ward. Dressed in professional attire, tall and imposing with perfect proportions, he was clearly someone who regularly worked out at the gym.

Hello, is there anything I can help you with?

Pale, weak, and utterly fragile, Sophie stared blankly at the man before her.

"Hello, Mrs. Su, I am a friend of your daughter. She deposited some money with me before she passed away. Here is the statement; please take a look!"

Mr. Bie Lai's special assistant, He, opened the folder, took out the bills inside, and handed them to the woman on the hospital bed.

Fanfan and her two children thoughtfully served tea and water to the guests.

"Uncle, please have some tea!"

Don't be surprised: These two kids are so sensible.

Assistant He and the lawyer gratefully accepted the gifts, silently giving a thumbs-up to the two children in their hearts.

"Your child is so well-behaved."

"Yes, she's much cuter than my son," the two said sincerely. The two children, still grieving for their mother's sacrifice, finally smiled.

Upon hearing this, Sophie patted the children's heads with pity and relief.

"Yes, she's very sensible and obedient, but unfortunately, she's had a hard life. She finally had Shiyi, but now...sigh."

He waved his hand weakly. The difference between people is enormous. It's just that comparing yourself to others is infuriating.

“I’ve read the documents. I didn’t expect she had left us so much money. We won’t have to worry about the children’s tuition anymore…”

As she spoke, she started crying again, tears streaming down her face. How could such a good child have been sacrificed?

Assistant He and the lawyer exchanged glances, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Auntie, please try to think positively. You still need to take care of the two children."

Sophie, immersed in her pain, completely failed to notice the difference between the two words: caring for rather than raising.

I figured their advice was helpful, so I quickly wiped away my tears.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!"

“Auntie, we are just doing this for someone else. Please rest assured and focus on your recovery. We will cover all your expenses, including the children’s living expenses, tuition fees, your recuperation fees, and hospital fees. Don’t worry, just take good care of yourself and put Shiyi at ease.”

No amount of words can change the fact that the deceased are gone. The only thing we can do is bring them here so that they can recover and move on.

"Thank you, uncles!"

Assistant He and the lawyer stared blankly at the scene before them, while the children bowed to thank them, looking rather flattered.

"Quickly, get up, good boy."

"Gentlemen, this is what they should do. Thank you so much."

This is truly a godsend.

Even though they were friends before their deaths, people are selfish. Such a large sum of money, instead of being embezzled, was used to take care of everything for their grandmother. Such kindness and affection…

The two walked out of the hospital gate with deep emotion.

"It's really frustrating to think about people. You live your whole life, but the money you earn isn't really yours. You die young, and being a soldier isn't easy." Women have it even harder.

Moreover, she's a mother of two children, and the worst part is that they're not even her own.

That's understandable. They're dragging along a sick person who's also a burden. Getting sick, hospitalized, and seeing doctors all cost money. It's rare, truly rare.

Assistant He listened to his rambling on and on, and although he didn't say anything, he was still deeply disturbed.

I never imagined that woman was so great; her story is truly moving and makes even a real man like me feel ashamed.

After seeing the patient off, Fanfan returned to the ward and, noticing the strange atmosphere, broke the silence first.

"Grandma, you must get better soon, we must live on."

Otherwise, Mom in heaven will be disappointed.

"Okay, okay, Grandma will definitely do her best!"

The three women embraced each other in a painful but encouraging manner, and from then on, they depended on each other for survival.

"Auntie, I'm coming in."

When Ye Yingjian and the others came in, they felt a pang of sadness upon seeing this scene.

The eldest son is gone, and the remaining children are all old and young. What will happen to them?

Xia Yiran turned her head away, unable to bear looking directly at her. She was afraid that she would burst into tears, which would make the atmosphere even more awkward.

Ruan Tiancheng stepped forward and spoke softly.

"Auntie, the deceased has passed away. Please take care of yourself."

"Yes, Auntie, you must take good care of yourself now so that your two children can study without worry."

Everything else can be delayed, but a child's studies cannot be delayed, otherwise it will really be the end of the world.

“Auntie, the eldest son is gone. From now on, you will be our auntie. We will take care of you. If you need anything, just tell us. We will do everything we can to help.”

He had just arrived, and although his camaraderie with the leader wasn't as deep as theirs, it wasn't insignificant either, considering he had received the leader's patronage.

My already chaotic heart was moved to tears when I heard Shi Yi's words about his former comrades.

"Thank you! Thank you! You've gone to so much trouble for us. You're all such good kids. It's been a pleasure knowing you all."

Yes, she had to be strong. From then on, she was the only adult in the family, and she had to persevere and raise her two children.

Once she understood, she wiped away her tears with her sleeve and smiled as she said to them, "Thank you for your kindness. Shiyi left money for our whole family, so raising two children won't be a problem."

Then he told them about Assistant He and the lawyer to avoid them worrying, as it would be bad to delay training.

Everyone was overjoyed to hear this; the boss was indeed very thoughtful.

The group chatted with Sophie and the child for a while before leaving together.

Next, Sophie followed the doctor's advice and underwent surgery.

The surgery was scheduled for the weekend to avoid making the two children take time off work to wait outside the operating room.

The aunt who used to take care of them, Aunt Qu, still stays by their side and takes care of their daily needs.

She later learned that Shiyi had paid her half a year's salary, and that she had previously needed to advance several months' salary due to an emergency at home.

In total, Aunt Qu will have to stay with them for more than a year. That's good, though. With someone taking care of the whole family, she can focus on recovering her health.

The surgery went smoothly. The surgeon was brought in from abroad and had decades of clinical experience.

During her hospitalization, Aunt Qu would run back and forth every day, delivering three meals a day on time. She also took care of picking up and dropping off the two children at school, keeping her extremely busy.

That day, Aunt Qu brought lunch on time. It was a well-balanced meal with great color, aroma, and taste, and it looked very appetizing.

"Sister Qu, I'm so sorry to have troubled you these past few days." Running between the hospital, the market, and the school, you're constantly busy and haven't had a moment to spare. I really feel bad for you.

Honest and kind-hearted, Aunt Qu always kept to her duty.

"No, it's what I should do. Besides, I should take better care of you all. We received such great kindness from Shiyi before, how could I abandon you after her sacrifice?"

Back then, they not only saved her life but also gave her a stable job, so she wouldn't have to work for someone else from morning till night without earning any money. People should know how to repay kindness and not kick someone when they're down.

The two were chatting happily when there was another knock on the door of the ward.

It's been strange lately, the ward is unusually lively. Who is it this time?
