The Richest Billionaire is My Accidental Husband

Her cell phone in her pocket rang again. She waited for the ring for a while before answering: “Hello?”

“At the hospital?”

Ye Junqing’s voice seemed softer than usual over the phone, hitting her unbearably tender heart. The emotions she had barely gathered collapsed all at once, and a sudden sourness hit the tip of her nose: “Mhmm.”

“How’s dad’s condition?”

She choked for a moment, wanting to mention that the doctor had asked her to be psychologically prepared. But it felt like cotton was stuck in her throat, and she could not say it out loud.

“Which hospital in T city is dad at? I’ve contacted a few authoritative experts on uremia, and I’d like to review your dad’s medical records.”

Ye Xingguang braced herself: “My dad is at T City People’s Hospital. His attending physician is already one of the best kidney disease specialists in the country. He has published a lot of articles in domestic and foreign medical journals.”

Ye Junqing said, “Having a few more doctors review it can’t hurt.”

A glimmer of hope arose in Ye Xingguang’s heart: “In that case, later, I’ll tell Dr. Bo to pull out my dad’s medical records for you. Which doctors did you get in touch with?”

“I’ll request your dad’s medical records directly from the hospital. Are you in the ward now?”

Ye Junqing was already on his way to the airport, his voice still soft, yet served as a calming agent, soothing her heart.

Listening to his voice, she suddenly felt as if she found her pillar: “I’m not at the hospital now. My mom hasn’t eaten tonight, so I’m buying her some wontons. I’ll head back to the hospital once I get them.”

“Have you eaten?” Ye Junqing asked her again.

“I bought two bowls.”

However, she had no appetite at all.

Probably guessing this, Ye Junqing didn’t offer any empty comfort. Instead, he said, “Stay strong. Take good care of your mom. She’s the one who’s suffering the most right now.”

“Mhmm.” She thought his words were sensible.

Ye Junqing continued: “Even if you can’t eat, you need to force yourself to eat something to encourage your mom. Don’t look distressed, or it will make it harder for her to stay strong. Can you do that?”

“…Yes.”

All his words seemed to be taking effect on her now. She even wanted to ask if he could come to T City, to give her dad some reassurance.

But when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back in.

Without saying anything else, Ye Junqing gave a few more instructions before hanging up.

Next, he made a call arranging for her foster father’s medical records to be reviewed by several medical authorities. There might still be a glimmer of hope.

Prepare for the worst but make the greatest efforts. He didn’t want to go through this again, arriving to find her collapsed at the morgue’s entrance, where no amount of assistance or comforting could alleviate her emotional pain.

Here, Ye Xingguang returned to the ward with the wontons.

Actually, no one had an appetite. But remembering Ye Junqing’s words, she forced herself to cheer up, sat next to the bed, and although her heart was heavy, she tried to be her parents’ ray of sunshine, forcing a light-hearted tone: “Mom, I think these store’s wontons are quite nice, you should try more. Let’s make dad envious, since he scared us.”

Song Chuanqi gave a weak smile: “You are really getting on my nerves, you know very well that your dad can’t eat anything, and you’re deliberately tempting me.”

Ye Xingguang raised the hospital bed, then spooned a mouthful and said, “Dad, then you can try some. I remember that’s what you did to feed me when you saved me from the sea, now it’s time for your daughter to feed you.”
