Chapter 529 I’m Your Husband (Page 1/2)
Huo Rou's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her sister-in-law had discovered her picking flowers, and her brother was coming to settle the score with her? Her mother had already criticized her on the way back.
"Brother, I'm sorry I shouldn't have picked Xinxin's roses."
Huo Qingci was stunned at first, then he smiled and stroked Huo Rou's little head. "It's okay. Don't pick flowers secretly next time. If you like flowers very much, I will give you a pot of roses next time."
"Thank you, brother. You are so kind."
"Okay, go play. I'll talk to my parents about something."
Huo Rou saw that her elder brother did not blame her, and her heart finally settled down.
She jumped down from the high table as if relieved, and ran back to her room like a happy little rabbit, ready to play alone.
Huo Qinghuan watched his sister's departing figure. After she completely disappeared, he cautiously approached his eldest brother, Huo Qingci, and asked softly in a low voice, "Brother, what happened to our mother?"
Huo Qingci knew very well that his mother was a little embarrassed and was not willing to talk about her illness.
But as a professional doctor, he didn't find it difficult to talk about it.
He stared firmly at his mother, Xiao Ya, and asked in a calm and concerned tone, "Mom, is there really a lump on your left chest? Does it hurt? When did it start to grow?"
Faced with her son's barrage of questions, Xiao Ya knew she could no longer hide the truth, so she had to answer honestly, "Yes, there is indeed a growth on the left side, but it's not particularly painful. It probably grew in the past two months."
Hearing this, Huo Junshan finally couldn't help but speak: "Xiaoya, why didn't you tell me that you were sick? I'm your husband!
We are going to be buried together after we die. How could you hide such an important thing from me? No, let's go to the hospital for a detailed examination right now!"
As he spoke, he took Xiao Ya's hand and prepared to walk out.
Huo Qinghuan looked at his father with an anxious look on his face, and a feeling of worry welled up in his heart, fearing that he would fall ill due to excessive anxiety.
He hurried forward, gently shook his father's slightly trembling hand, and said softly, "Dad, you look so anxious. Why don't you go to work this afternoon? I'm here. I'll ask for leave from work and take Mom to the hospital for proper treatment."
At this time, Huo Qingci, who had been standing aside in silence, spoke up: "Actually, I came here specially today because I wanted to take Mom for a comprehensive checkup."
Xiao Ya was terrified. Seeing her husband and son were so timid, she didn't dare reveal her emotions in front of them. She pretended to be calm and said:
"Okay, it's nothing. As people age, they tend to have some health issues. Maybe one day when I feel better, the lump in my body will disappear. You all go to work and don't worry about me."
Huo Qingci knew very well that his mother was filled with fear. She was worried that she had a terminal illness, but she was too shy to face the reality of seeking medical treatment.
He advised with a gentle and patient tone, "Mom, Dad, and Xiao Huan have to go to work soon, so I'll accompany you to the hospital for a checkup to find out what's going on."
Huo Junshan thought to himself that it was indeed a bit inappropriate that he hadn't asked for leave yet, so he said, "Qingci, in my opinion, we should wait until tomorrow morning to take Mom for a checkup.

This afternoon, I'll go to work and ask for leave. You can go back to the hospital and try to make an appointment with an experienced doctor for Mom. We can take her to the hospital early tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Huo Qinghuan quickly nodded in agreement and added, "Brother, to ensure the accuracy of the diagnosis, you'd better go back to the hospital and make an appointment with a highly skilled medical expert for Mom."
Huo Qingci rolled his eyes at Huo Qinghuan and replied unhappily, "I am an expert in surgery, okay?"
In fact, Huo Qinghuan naturally understood that his eldest brother was a renowned and highly acclaimed cardiac surgeon, but he also knew very well that his mother would most likely not be willing to let his eldest brother examine her personally.
So, he hurriedly explained: "Brother, although you are a famous cardiac surgeon, Mom is looking for a thoracic surgeon."
Xiao Ya said with some embarrassment, "Qingci, just make an appointment for me with a thoracic surgeon, preferably a female one.
Although Huo Junshan knew that doctors didn't differentiate between men and women, he also understood his wife's concerns. He said, "Qingci, if there's a female doctor in the thoracic surgery department, ask her to examine your mother. Then, we can ask a specialist to look at the results."
Huo Qingci understood what his parents were thinking, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I understand. It's getting late, so I'll go back to work at the hospital first. I'll come with you to the hospital tomorrow morning, and I'll also ask for leave this afternoon."
The next morning, Huo Qingci hurriedly got up, washed, and ate a few bites of breakfast. Then he pushed out the slightly old bicycle, got on the saddle, and rushed towards his parents' home.
Not long after, Huo Qingci arrived at his parents' house. He quietly parked his bicycle and walked quickly into the house.
At this time, Huo Junshan was already dressed and sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
Huo Junshan took a special leave from work yesterday just so that he could accompany his wife Xiao Ya to the hospital for a check-up today.
Huo Rou was also standing there obediently. Huo Qinghuan had also asked for leave from school yesterday. At this time, he was holding a bag in his hand, which contained his mother's clothes.
Seeing Huo Qingci come in, the family greeted each other and went out to the hospital together.
After arriving at the hospital, they went straight to the thoracic surgery clinic. Huo Qingci personally took his mother to see the specialist, and after a series of tedious examinations, they finally completed the examination an hour later.
Huo Junshan, Huo Qinghuan and Huo Rou paced anxiously in the corridor outside the clinic, looking into the clinic from time to time.
Xiao Ya's examination was just over, and she walked out of the clinic with a pale face. The family hurried to greet her.
Huo Junshan asked with concern: "How is it? What did the doctor say?"
Xiao Ya smiled and shook her head. She felt that the result was not very good after hearing what the doctor said. However, she would have to wait a while to get the test results.
So the family stood in the corridor and waited quietly.
At this moment, Lin Man also arrived at the hospital's thoracic surgery department. She checked her watch and saw it was exactly ten o'clock in the morning.
Seeing her parents-in-law already waiting there, Lin Man quickly stepped forward to greet them. After a few pleasantries, everyone continued to patiently wait for the test results to come out.
