Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 523

Chapter 523: Sickle Cell Anemia ( 1 )
“Shitou can also play with Xiao Yi, Xiao Mu, and Xiao Feng here. With their company, he won’t feel lonely.” Wang Muxiao added.

Hearing her words, Lu Jueyu nodded. She squatted down and asked, “Shitou, do you want to stay here or go back with Aunt Li?”

Shitou looked at Lu Jueyu and fell into deep thought. Although he could eat delicious food with Lu Jueyu, his mother and maternal grandmother were terrible. With her thin body, she was unable to fight against them.

He looked at Wang Muxiao and thought that if he stayed here, he would still have good food and even friends to play with. If his mother and his maternal grandmother come again, they will be beaten by this aunt, and they cannot take him away. In this way, he can wait for his sister and Grandma to come back.

After coming to this conclusion, he pulled Wang Muxiao’s sleeve and said, “Aunt Li, I want to stay here.”

Now that the child had made his decision, Lu Jueyu did not insist on taking him back. She doesn’t know how long it will take before Aunt Li can come back from the hospital and take care of Shitou. Since there was an additional mouth to feed, she would send some ingredients over later.

After thinking about it, she nodded and said, “Sister-in-law, I’ll trouble you with Shitou for a while.”

Wang Muxiao touched Shitou’s head and said, “Don’t worry. I will take care of him. He is very obedient and it is not tiring to take care of him.”

“I will send you some vegetables and other ingredients later.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Unlike Chen Anwen who was embarrassed after taking Lu Jueyu’s things, Wang Muxiao readily agreed, “Okay.”

When others think she is greedy, she actually thinks that there is no need to be so clear-cut between families. Although she couldn’t give Lu Jueyu expensive food and drinks, she would try her best to protect her and not let her be wronged. This was her way of repaying her generosity and kindness as her sister-in-law.

After helping clean up the mess in the front yard, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo returned home, while Wang Muxiao made a glass of milk for Shitou to soothe his frightened heart and let him have a nap.

At the same time, in the county town, Li Sang received news about his daughter during his lunch break from his colleague and rushed to the hospital.

After receiving the news, Li Sang’s face turned pale, and his body couldn’t stop shaking due to shock. He never expected that his wife would treat his daughter like this.

No matter how much she dislikes their daughter, this is the child she has been pregnant with for ten months! How could she bear to treat her like this?

When he arrived, he saw Doctor Xie waiting for him at the hospital entrance.

Doctor Xie saw him coming and said, “Come with me.”

Ten minutes later, the two came to the waiting room prepared for the patients’ families. When Li Sang walked into the room, he was suffocated by the depressing atmosphere inside.

Everyone in the room was waiting for their family to come out of the operating room. Not knowing if the family would survive, it was normal for the atmosphere to be somber.

While he was lost in thought, Doctor Xie patted his shoulder and said, “Let’s go, your mother is waiting for you.”

After coming back to his senses, Li Sang followed him and saw his mother sitting on the bench with her head lowered. Seeing his mother, he strode over and squatted in front of her.

He held her hand and said, “Mother, I’m sorry for coming late.”

Hearing her son’s voice, Aunt Li finally raised her head. When she saw her son’s pale face, she suddenly burst into tears and said, “Ah Sang, Mother is sorry. It’s all Mother’s fault.”

Li Sang hugged his mother, patted her back and said, “Mother, this is not your fault. If I had listened to you, what happened today would not have happened.”

Doctor Xie, who was standing aside, sighed. Recalling his own experience, he knew that no matter what others said, guilt would always be there. He hopes Da Niu can overcome this difficulty. Otherwise, her death could have devastated her family, especially her grandmother and father. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and sighed softly.

After six hours of surgery, Da Niu was finally pushed out of the operating room. Since she had just undergone a major surgery, she was transferred to the ICU instead of the general ward for further observation. It wasn’t until she was settled in the ICU that the nurse came to the waiting room to notify her family.

When the door of the waiting room was pushed open, everyone looked hopefully toward the door. The nurse looked at the document in her hand and said, “The family members of a patient named Li Shu, please come with me.”

Hearing Da Niu’s name, they quickly followed the nurse. Walking to the doctor’s office, Aunt Li asked, “Comrade, how is my granddaughter?”

The nurse smiled at her and said, “The attending doctor will explain the patient’s condition to you later.”

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the door of the doctor’s office. The nurse knocked on the door and said, “Doctor Song, the patient’s family is here.”

The next moment, they heard a deep, gentle voice coming from inside, “Please come in.”

Opening the door, the nurse stepped aside, motioned for them to come in, and said, “Comrades, please.”

When they entered the room, they saw a young man wearing a pair of glasses writing with his head down. They thought the surgeon was an old man. Therefore, Aunt Li and Li Song were stunned when they saw that he was actually a young man.

Putting the folder on the table, the nurse said, “Doctor Song, this is the patient’s information.”
