"Really, Xinghe, don't go to the hospital. It's a waste of money."
"Dean Chen, don't worry about it. I'll go to the hospital to get your medicine right away, it'll be quick!"
Dean Chen quickly returned to his room, coughed violently a few more times, then took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth.
"Dean, I just heard you coughing. Did the medicine I gave you not work?"
"Ah, Xiao Wu, it's alright, I'm fine."
When Dean Chen heard Aunt Wu come in, he quickly tried to hide his handkerchief, but Aunt Wu, with her sharp eyes, still saw it.
"Dean Chen, what's wrong with you? Why are you spitting blood!"
"Xiao Wu, don't shout so loudly, it's okay."
"No! You've vomited blood and you still say you're fine? I'll call Xinghe right now and have him take you to the hospital to get checked out."
"No! Xiao Wu, don't make a sound. Close the door and come to my side."
Aunt Wu quickly closed the door and went to Dean Chen's side.
"Originally, I planned to talk about it later, but since you've seen it, I'll tell you now so that someone knows."
"Dean Chen, what happened?"
"I have late-stage stomach cancer."
"What?! Late-stage stomach cancer? How is that possible?! No way! Dean Chen, I need to tell Xinghe right now and have him arrange for you to be hospitalized immediately!"
"No, Xiao Wu, you know that late-stage stomach cancer is incurable. Don't waste your time. With this little bit of time left, what I can't let go of is our orphanage. I'll risk my life to prevent those heartless bosses from destroying our orphanage!"
"Dean Chen, just listen to me. Medical technology is so advanced now, maybe it can be cured. Your illness really can't be delayed any longer."
"Alright, Xiao Wu, if you keep this up I'll get angry. I know my own body. Don't tell anyone, and don't tell Xinghe either, understand?"
Aunt Wu was devastated. She had no idea how Dean Chen could suddenly be diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer.
"Isn't it said that evil deeds are punished and good deeds are rewarded? Dean Chen, you've done good deeds your whole life, how could you get this disease? Does God have eyes?!"
"Alright, Xiao Wu, you reacted even more strongly than I did. Help me get the medicine from the other drawer."
Aunt Wu quickly went to get the medicine for Dean Chen.
"Dean Chen, why are you taking painkillers? Where's your medicine?!"
"This is the medicine, give it to me quickly."
"No, I won't tell Xinghe what painkillers are. I'll take you to the hospital and have the doctor prescribe some medicine, okay?"
"No need, do you want to see me vomit blood again?"
"I don't want to, Dean Chen, I don't want to."
"Then give me the medicine, and I'll stop vomiting after I drink it."
Aunt Wu gave the medicine to Dean Chen and sat there silently wiping away her tears.
"Alright, Xiao Wu, getting old, sick and dying is the natural course of life. You've been in the welfare home for twenty years now, and you're an old maid now. I remember when you first came, you were in your thirties, so beautiful."
"Dean Chen, please don't say these things. Let me take you to the hospital to see a doctor."
"Okay, the only thing I'm worried about right now is the children at the orphanage. If I'm gone, could you help me look after the orphanage?"
"Director Chen, I will. I watched these children grow up. Not only you, but I will risk my life to protect our welfare home."
"That's good. I want to rest for a while. You can go out and look after the children."
"Okay, stop crying. Go wash your face and dry it. Don't let the children see you crying."
"Dean Chen, I can't accept this, I really can't accept it."
"Xiao Wu, don't tell Xiao Hu yet. Xiao Hu can't keep things to herself. If she finds out, she'll definitely tell Xinghe."
"I understand, Dean Chen, I understand."
"Alright, you can go out now. I'm going to rest for a while."
Wang Xinghe returned from the hospital an hour later.
"Dean Chen, I went to the hospital and got an appointment with a specialist. I heard that the medicine he prescribes is very effective. Drink it quickly, and you'll feel better after you drink it."
"Okay, Xinghe, I'll do as you say and take the medicine."
Wang Xinghe played with the children for a while and then coaxed them to sleep.
"Aunt Wu, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
"No, no, I'm perfectly fine."
"You don't look well at all. Is something wrong?"
"No, what could possibly happen to me? I'm perfectly fine."
"Aunt Wu, you've watched me grow up since I was little, we've known each other for so many years, so don't lie to me. Tell me, now that Xiao Xinghe has grown up, he's capable and can solve anything for you!"
Aunt Wu sighed inwardly. Even the most capable person in the world cannot stop the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death.
"It's nothing, really nothing. It's just that a relative of mine is sick. I'm a little confused. How could someone who was perfectly healthy suddenly get sick?"
"Aunt Wu, do you need to go home for a few days to see your relatives? We are all at the welfare home, you can go home and rest for a few days."
"No need, I'll go see the children first."
Aunt Wu hurriedly returned to the house, leaving Wang Xinghe somewhat confused. Was Aunt Wu talking? Why was she stammering just now?
When Ning Qianqian brought Liu Qingmeng back, Liu Qingmeng's face was flushed.
"Ning Qianqian, did you let Mengmeng drink? Did you go to a bar?"
"No, we only had a little bit of alcohol. We went to a quiet bar, you know, a quiet bar, just to have a few drinks and chat."
"Ning Qianqian, you two girls going to a bar to drink, you really know what's good for you!"
"What are you afraid of! I have several bodyguards with me. Bad men won't dare to come near me. Alright, I'm leaving. I've delivered the person to you."
"How much did she drink?" Seeing Liu Qingmeng's unsteady gait and somewhat dazed expression, Wang Xinghe helped her up.
"Star? You came to find me?"
"Yes, I've come to find you. Let's go back to the hotel and sleep."
"Sleep? You'll sleep with me?"
"Yes, I'll sleep with you."
"How are you going to sleep? Do you have to sleep completely naked?"
"Liu Qingmeng, you're drunk!"
"I'm not drunk. Qianqian and I only drank a little bit, just a tiny bit."
"Okay, okay, just a little bit, let's go back to sleep."
"Alright then, you carry me on your back, I want you to carry me on your back!"
"Then come up here."
"Alright, hehe! Let's go! Pigsy carrying his wife."
"Mengmeng, if you keep covering my eyes, we're both going to run into a wall right now."
"Oh right, then I won't cover your eyes anymore."
"Could you please stop covering my mouth? I can't breathe."
"You're so annoying! You won't let me cover anything, where am I supposed to put my hands?"
"Hold on to my neck, hold on tight, don't fall."
"Okay, okay, hurry up! I want to sleep!"
Once in the car, Liu Qingmeng had already fallen asleep on Wang Xinghe's back. After putting Liu Qingmeng in the car, Wang Xinghe drove to the hotel.
