Chapter 431: Chapter 432: Lover and Enemy (3)

“Look, Mom’s hand, it moved!”

Qin Zhiyou gripped Lu Weixi’s hand tightly with one hand, pointing at Lu’s mother’s hand with the other.

Lu Weixi tried to resist, but she saw her mother’s hand moving indeed. Although she knew that coming out of anesthesia didn’t mean much, post-surgery rejection might still occur in the following days. Moreover, the rapid physical weakness post-surgery was even hard for young people to tolerate, let alone the elderly—it depended on luck, and also their own willpower.

But the fact that she could regain consciousness proved at least that the brain tumor had not compressed the nerves, which was always a good thing!

Lu Weixi immediately called the doctor. After Zhao Zihao and others came to check, her mother’s anesthesia wore off. Her body moved, but her consciousness had not fully recovered yet. The doctor suggested to keep her in the Intensive Care Unit.

Lu Weixi still had questions: “Dr. Zhao, when can I accompany my mother in?”

Zhao Zihao thought for a moment, “Let’s wait until she is fully conscious.”

Zhao Zihao saw the dark circles under Lu Weixi’s eyes, and her eyes full of bloodshot, obviously exhausted to the limit. Yet her eyes were surprisingly bright. He advised gently: “Miss Lu, you shouldn’t push yourself too hard. Your health is more important.”

Lu Weixi nodded randomly. Qin Zhiyou also rushed to persuade her: “Yes, you can’t go on like this. Eat something, take a break.”

But Lu Weixi ignored him and didn’t touch the food he brought. She even slowly withdrew her hand from his grip.

If she didn’t eat, Qin Zhiyou didn’t eat either, and the food gradually became cold.

Although Lu’s mother could move her fingers, it was uncertain when she would fully regain consciousness. Was Lu Weixi planning to keep going without eating, drinking, or sleeping?

But who could persuade her? After thinking for a while, Qin Zhiyou had no choice but to call Xue Feifei.

Although Xue Feifei has not been isolated recently, she was previously targeted by Yu Sixing. With the renewal of the contract approaching and her agency wanting to abandon her troublesome persona, they no longer had a renewal requirement for her. So she was basically left to fend for herself.

Even though the second lead role in the famous director’s film was not yet decided, she still hadn’t given up, especially since Liu Yiyi’s recent incident led to recasting for her fleeting role. However, Xue Feifei thought her chances of being selected were slim.

Upon hearing about Lu’s mother, Xue Feifei immediately came. Back in the day, the Bai Family and Xue Family were old friends. When Xue Feifei’s father disappeared due to a debt scandal, Lu Weixi paid Xue Feifei’s tuition fees, and Lu’s mother guaranteed for her, allowing Xue Feifei to continue her studies.

When Qin Zhiyou called her, he did not mention that Lu’s mother fell ill due to stimulation, especially with his involvement in it.

But Xue Feifei, while energetic, was not foolish. Upon knowing the circumstance that led to Lu’s mother’s midnight collapse, and seeing Lu Weixi’s state of likely not having eaten or slept, she immediately ordered a bunch of takeout. Lu Weixi was still unwilling to eat, Xue Feifei tersely said, “If you faint from hunger, I’ll have one more person to take care of. So hurry up and eat, at least take a few bites.”

Pressed by Xue Feifei, Lu Weixi, even without any appetite, finally agreed to eat. Qin Zhiyou just watched from the side, not wanting to interrupt their private conversation.. When he stood up to take a phone call, Xue Feifei quietly asked, “Be honest with me, does this sudden illness of your mom have anything to do with him?”
