Chapter 456: Chapter 457 Awakening (2)

Lu Weixi had just vented out, and finally, she went to rest.

The room contained only a sickbed and an accompanying bed. The sickbed was for Lu’s mother, and the accompanying bed was for the nursing staff, which, of course, were tidied. Given Qin Zhiyou’s usual obsession with cleanliness, he would never touch a sickbed someone has used before.

He very much wanted to stay with Lu Weixi, doing nothing but keeping her company. But he knew that Lu Weixi might prefer to rest alone. Possibly – it’s already a form of charity to allow him to stay in the same room.

When the lights went off, the room fell into silence. Lu Weixi stared at the ceiling. After three days of hardly sleeping, she was extremely tired. As tired as walking with her feet feeling like they were treading on cotton and an exploding headache.

But she couldn’t sleep.

Perhaps it was because her mother has not yet awakened. Though three days had passed and she showed no significant signs of rejection, the surgery seemed to be quite successful. However, perhaps due to her mother’s advanced age and long-term illness, she might never wake up.

Cancer treatment is a long process, the patient might be lively one day, and critically ill the next. She was prepared…even half a year ago, when her mother fell into a coma due to brain metastases, and when four critical condition notifications came in three days, she even made plans for the funeral.

Treatment is certainly worth trying, with all the effort. But what if there’s no necessity for treatment? Or, even though the illness is barely cured now, the patient suffers for several months before passing away?

What should she do then, especially—what about Qin Zhiyou?

If it were in the past, she would undoubtedly opt for divorce without hesitation. But now, he promised he would not fool around–although it was under his grandfather’s pressure and the temptation of money.

What could she do? She truly had feelings for Qin Zhiyou.

The thought of them possibly getting a divorce…

Lu Weixi turned over, of course, the priority right now is her mother’s illness. All other resentments, both new and old, will have to wait until after her mother’s issues are dealt with.

Although Lu Weixi had a splitting headache and she hadn’t slept or eaten properly for days, leaving her extremely weak, she fell into a daze and went to sleep after tossing and turning by her bedside for a while.

Same for Qin Zhiyou, he also could not sleep when Lu Weixi was tossing and turning. The medical expenses for Lu’s mother over these years were covered by Lu Weixi’s hard-earned salary every month, but he helped a lot secretly. Introducing doctors, providing the best medical conditions and treatment plans.

But all of this was no match for the life-threatening condition of Lu’s mother due to rumors about him.

Lu Weixi was tossing and turning, and so was he. Regret and self-blame could not describe his feelings at this time. He used to succeed in everything he did, as long as he tried, no matter how hard it was.

But in front of a situation like this, he realized how insignificant his efforts were!

However, after much tossing and turning, Qin Zhiyou slowly closed his eyes. His sleep was so light that when Secretary Wang rushed in, he immediately sat up.

So did Lu Weixi, she was in a drowsy state, and vaguely heard the sound of hurried footsteps, then the sound of Secretary Wang pushing the door open: “She woke up, she woke up!”

Although no subject was added, both Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou instantly understood–Lu’s mother woke up!
