Chapter 528: One Missing Flower (Page 1/2)

Lin Man set the table, untied her apron, walked to the window and saw that there was indeed one flower missing.

There was no one else at home, so the flower was probably picked by my sister-in-law Huo Rou.

"Xinxin, come and eat first. I want to ask who picked these flowers."

Huo Yixin was so upset when she saw that one of her favorite yellow roses had been picked that she no longer had the mood to eat.

A person stood quietly by the window, motionless, tears streaming uncontrollably from his eyes.

Lin Man didn't expect her daughter to like her flowers so much that she would cry for a flower. She shook her head and said to Huo Qingci, "Xinxin won't listen to my advice. You go and explain to her."

Huo Qingci asked in a low voice: "Manman, is it my mother who is coming over today? Did she pick these flowers for my sister to play with?"

"No, your mother didn't pick it. I guess your sister picked it secretly. First, coax your daughter to come over for dinner. If she likes this flower, we can get another pot back."

Huo Qingci took out a handkerchief from his pocket, walked over to his daughter and squatted down, wiping her tears while coaxing her, "Xinxin, this flower is so beautiful that anyone who sees it can't help but pick one.

You see there are still many flower buds on it. When these flowers fade, those buds will slowly grow and bloom.”

Huo Yixin threw herself into Huo Qingci's arms and sobbed, "Dad, I told my classmates today that my family has a colorful rose plant with nineteen large flowers, six of which are my favorite yellow roses.

Woohoo! My favorite flowers have been picked, and now there are only five left. If my classmates see me, they will definitely call me a liar."

Huo Qingci patted Huo Yixin's back gently and continued to coax her, "Okay, don't cry. Just explain it to your classmates when the time comes. If you're obedient, Dad will give you a pot of yellow roses next time."

Huo Yixin blinked her tearful eyes and asked, "Really?"

"Really? I'm not lying to you. Okay, let's eat first."

Huo Yixin walked to the table and tugged at Lin Man's sleeve. "Mom, grandma and my aunt are here today, right? My aunt picked these flowers, right?"

Lin Man didn't see Huo Rou picking the flowers herself, so she couldn't answer for sure. She said, "Your grandmother and your aunt came today. I was chatting with your grandmother in the room, and I didn't pay much attention to the flowers afterwards. It's hard to say who picked them, after all, I didn't see it with my own eyes.

If it was your aunt who picked them, Xinxin, can you forgive her? She loves these flowers so much.”

Huo Yixin sighed, "Alas...! My aunt is younger than me and she's my elder. How can I not forgive her? The flowers have already been picked."

Lin Man had no time to care about the flower that had been picked. Her mind was not on that at all at the moment.

She seemed a little absent-minded throughout the lunch. After hurriedly eating a few mouthfuls of food, she casually told the children to clean up the dishes.

Then she grabbed Huo Qingci's hand, walked quickly into the room, and closed the door.

As soon as she entered the room, Lin Man couldn't wait to look at Huo Qingci and asked with an extremely serious expression: "Qingci, do you know why mother-in-law came to see me today?"

When Huo Qingci saw Lin Man’s serious expression, his heart skipped a beat.

He subconsciously thought of Lin Man's previous speculation that his mother might be pregnant again, so he hesitated and asked tentatively, "Could it be that... my mother is really as you suspected before?"

Hearing Huo Qingci's words, Lin Man pursed her lips tightly, and for a moment she didn't know where to start talking about her mother-in-law's illness.

After all, in this era, ordinary people have almost never heard of a disease like cancer, except for those professional doctors.

After her own observation and judgment, she highly suspected that her mother-in-law was likely to have breast cancer, and it was in the early stages.

If it is just ordinary breast hyperplasia, usually hyperplasia will occur in both breasts, accompanied by obvious tingling.

Breast cancer will only cause pain in the later stages due to the spread of cancer cells. In the early stages, only lumps will appear and there will be no pain, which is why it is often ignored.

There was silence for a full minute, and the air seemed to freeze. Finally, Lin Man took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "My mother-in-law is not pregnant, but... there is something wrong with her left breast.

Maybe because she was embarrassed, she was too embarrassed to go to the hospital by herself, so she came to me for help. "

Hearing this, Huo Qingci's face turned pale instantly, and his heart felt like it was suddenly grabbed by an invisible big hand, and it hurt so much.

His lips trembled slightly, and he stammered, "My mom...what happened to my mom? Is it serious?"

Lin Man bit her lower lip lightly, frowned slightly, and said slowly: "She has a lump in her left breast. According to her, it has only started to grow slowly in the past two months.

I told her that she must go to the hospital for a detailed examination immediately, but she insisted on going home to cook dinner for her father first.

Qingci, how about this, you just take a leave this afternoon, and we'll call Mom to the hospital for a thorough checkup!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Qingci hurriedly raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist. After a moment of thought, he said, "It's still early. I'd better ride my bike and go to my parents' house first."

After saying that, he opened the door and hurried towards the exit. His slightly panicked figure quickly disappeared outside the door.

Huo Qingci pedaled his slightly worn bicycle in a hurry, the wheels spinning rapidly, raising dust all the way. He was extremely anxious, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his collar.

Finally, he arrived at his parents' house. Without even taking a breath, he leaned his bicycle against the wall and rushed into the house.

As soon as I entered the house, the aroma of food hit my nose. I saw my parents, younger brother and younger sister sitting at the dining table, enjoying lunch.

Huo Junshan was startled when he saw his son suddenly appear. He then put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked with concern, "Qingci, why are you here? Have you had lunch?"

Huo Qingci gasped for breath and said, "We've had dinner, Dad. I heard Mom wasn't feeling well, so I came over to see her." As he spoke, he pulled over a long bench and sat down.

Hearing his son's words, Huo Junshan was shocked and immediately became nervous.

He quickly reached out and tightly grasped his wife Xiao Ya's hand, and asked anxiously, "Xiao Ya, what's wrong with you? Tell us quickly!"

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Huo Qinghuan also looked at his mother nervously.

However, facing the concerned gazes of her husband and son, Xiao Ya seemed a little embarrassed.

She lowered her head, blushed, and muttered softly, "It's okay, don't listen to Qingci's nonsense."

In fact, Xiao Ya knew it very well in her mind. If it was just the discomfort in other parts of her body, she might be able to say it out loud.

But this time, a lump appeared on her chest, and it was difficult for her to talk about such a private matter.

Huo Qingci glanced at Huo Rou and coaxed her softly, "Sister, go back to your room and play after dinner. I want to talk to my parents."
