My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 632: Extra 045 Their relationship, it’s time to end

The day of Wan Quan’s surgery.

Mu Cidian arrived at the hospital early in the morning.

Lei Qian, under the persuasion of Mu Cidian, did not come to the hospital yesterday, but she was here today for the surgery.

Mu Cidian glanced at her.

Lei Qian said, “I just came to accompany Auntie.”

Mu Cidian didn’t say anything.

Wan Quan was taken to the operating room.

Wan Quan was very nervous, she grasped Mu Cidian’s hand, “What if I die on the operating table? What if I die?”

“You won’t die.” Mu Cidian was very serious.

Wan Quan’s eyes were a little reddened, “Mu Cidian, you are the only relative I have left, if I die, if I die…”

“Stop talking.” Mu Cidian holding her mother’s hand said, “I will wait for you to come out safely.”

Wan Quan desperately looked at Mu Cidian.

In face of the disease, Wan Quan was truly scared.

Mu Cidian gave her a firm look.

Wan Quan followed the doctor into the operating room.

Mu Cidian waited for her outside.

Lei Qian was also standing at a distance not far from Mu Cidian, both of them were silent.

Lei Qian could tell that Mu Cidian was nervous.

If Wan Quan were not so extreme, Mu Cidian’s relationship with his mother would be quite good.

“Mu Cidian, don’t worry. Medical industry is so advanced now, your mother should be fine.” Lei Qian comforted.

Mu Cidian nodded slightly.

“The surgery might take some time, let’s sit down for a while.” Lei Qian said.

Mu Cidian was also trying to relax himself slowly.

Not to worry is actually a lie.

Wan Quan was right.

In this world, he only has her as a relative.

Mu Cidian sat on the chair in the corridor.

Lei Qian sat beside him.

The atmosphere was still a bit tense.

Lei Qian didn’t know what to say.

Both of them sat for a while.

No more than half an hour.

The door of the operating room opened.

Mu Cidian felt a jolt in his heart.

He immediately went forward. “What happened?”

The doctor removed his mask and sighed, “Your mother’s condition is more severe than we expected.”

“What happened?” Mu Cidian asked nervously.

“When we opened up the ovary, we found out, all the ovaries have already metastasized, not only the ovaries, other organs in her body have also begun to metastasize, surgery is no longer effective.” the doctor said frankly, “Now I have re-sutured your mother, after she wakes up from the anesthesia, she will be brought out.”

“What do you mean…” Mu Cidian looked at the doctor, clearly bewildered.

Lei Qian was also stiffened by the doctor’s words.

“In simpler terms, you should spend the last moments of your mother’s life with her.”

“Didn’t they say the survival rate of uterine cancer is high?” Mu Cidian refused to accept it, his voice was a bit loud.

“But your mother’s is not the usual kind, it’s the worst kind. This type of cancer occurs in less than one percent of cancer patients, and your mother just happens to be one of them.” The doctor said helplessly, “I know it’s hard for you to accept, but sometimes we just have to let it be. Medicine is not yet so powerful. Be psychologically prepared.”

The doctor patted Mu Cidian on the shoulder and left first.

Mu Cidian’s fists were clenched tightly.

His body was tense.

He admitted, he really had a deep resentment towards his mother, but he had never thought that she would die suddenly.

Suddenly she might die.

Tears welled up in his eyes instantly.

It was obviously red, he could not hide it.

Lei Qian also began to cry uncontrollably on the side.

Lei Qian had never seen Mu Cidian so distressed before, never seen him suppress his own emotions, looking so painful.

She didn’t know what to do, she was just constantly crying.

After a long time.

The door of the operating room opened again.

Mu Cidian forced himself to appear normal despite the redness in his eyes, he walked towards the mobile sickbed.

Wan Quan called out to him, “Mu Cidian…”

Her voice was incredibly weak.

Mu Cidian held her hand, “Yes, the surgery was very successful.”

“Really? I feel it was so fast.” Wan Quan mumbled.

“Because it was very successful, that’s why it was fast. The doctor said you will be discharged from the hospital after a while.”

“Hmm.” Wan Quan, being weak after the surgery, naturally did not argue with Mu Cidian.

Above all.

Having truly experienced life and death, at least shortly after, one becomes less bothered by other things.

At this moment, Wan Quan even found solace, solace in the fact that when she left the operating room, Mu Cidian was waiting for her.

In this life, she only had this one relative.

Even though she had forced him many times into doing things he hadn’t wanted to do, deep down, she still loved him, loved his son, and still relied on him.

Mu Cidian, along with the doctors and nurses, took Wan Quan back to her ward.

Wan Quan lay weak on her hospital bed, watching as Mu Cidian stayed by her side, unfaltering.

Lei Qian also sat not far away, quietly accompanying her.

Wan Quan entered the operating room at 2 p.m., and came out around 3 p.m. By 9 p.m., the doctor said she could drink some water, and once her breathing was stable, she could eat some non-greasy food. In about seven days, she would be able to choose whether to be discharged.

The doctor advised that it doesn’t really matter whether she is discharged as the effects would be the same. It was up to them to decide.

As such, Mu Cidian didn’t leave that day, at least not until after 9 p.m.

He planned to leave only past midnight.

“I’ll stay here with auntie.” Lei Qian began, “I’m not entirely at ease with just the nurses.”

Mu Cidian swallowed hard.

“Never mind, you should go first.” Lei Qian said, “I am here alone anyhow, and my parents are out of town in Lei village these days, so it’s all the same to me where I am.”

“Thank you.” Mu Cidian said sincerely.

Lei Qian smiled slightly, “You should go now if you have to.”

Mu Cidian nodded.

He slowly left.

Lei Qian watched his retreating figure.

If it were not for Xin Zaozao, Mu Cidian would have stayed and accompanied his mother, right?

He must be in great pain at this moment.

If he couldn’t accompany his mother during her last moments, Mu Cidian would surely be left with much regret.

Lei Qian sighed lightly, turned around, and returned to Wan Quan’s side.

For now, she would do her best to help share Mu Cidian’s burden.

…

Mu Cidian took a taxi home.

At home, Xin Zaozao was already asleep.

Mu Cidian tried not to make any noise, he showered, then lay in bed.

Although lying in bed, he couldn’t sleep.

All he could think of was his mother.

All the things she did that he hated, none of them mattered compared to the gentle image of his mother from his childhood when his father was still around.

He turned over in bed.

His heart felt a little oppressed.

Suddenly, Xin Zaozao asked, “Can’t you sleep?”

Mu Cidian was taken aback, he turned to look at Xin Zaozao, “Aren’t you asleep yet?”

“I was, but you just woke me up.”

“Sorry.”

“Go to sleep early.”

“Xin Zaozao,” Mu Cidian suddenly called her name.

“Hm?”

“My mom’s health is very poor…”

“What are you trying to say?” Xin Zaozao interrupted him.

Mu Cidian swallowed hard, “Cancer, in the late stages. It’s the kind that can’t be operated on. The doctor said she has three to five months to live.”

Xin Zaozao seemed to be stunned for a moment.

After a long silence,

She chuckled lightly, “It seems that what goes around, comes around.”

Mu Cidian pressed his lips together, “That’s why I want to accompany her during this time.”

“Do as you wish,” Xin Zaozao responded coldly, “you can do whatever you want, just don’t tell me about it. I won’t have any sympathy for your mother, nor will I treat you any differently because her illness. To me, I would be indifferent to Wan Quan, even if she died a hundred times.”

Mu Cidian swallowed again.

“You no longer need to come here in the future. Just be a good filial son.” Xin Zaozao turned around and slept on the other side.

Mu Cidian said, “After I attend to her…”

“Let’s talk about future matters in the future.” Xin Zaozao icily interrupted Mu Cidian’s words.

Mu Cidian’s words got caught in his throat.

Xin Zaozao said, “Go to sleep.”

Mu Cidian stopped talking.

In reality, Xin Zaozao also didn’t fall asleep.

She admitted, the news just now did surprise her a bit.

She really didn’t expect that the strong-willed Wan Quan would one day be reduced to such a state.

Of course, she would not be held hostage by so-called morality because of what happened to Wan Quan.

She could not possibly feel compassion or pity, all of these things were Wan Quan’s own doing, and they had nothing to do with her!

As for Mu Cidian…

As for Mu Cidian.

She thought that it was about time for their relationship, to come to an end.
