After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

She wasn’t afraid of the hospital wasting money, she just didn’t want her daughter to face even the slightest risk.

Lin Gantang also found her mother-in-law’s behavior quite absurd. If one must hold a grudge, this was not the time.

“She said there was no need to send anything, did she really not send anything else?” she asked.

“Send, she did send over a can of infant formula.” As for what she ate? Who cared.

“Did you mention it to Chen Haobo?”

“I did, but he couldn’t make it back. He spoke to his mother, and she just gave a lip service agreement,” Ye Qiuqiu said indignantly, “Anyway, I am not wrong, I won’t apologize to her, when it comes to my daughter, I have the final say.”

“Qianqian is her granddaughter, she can’t be that unreasonable, can she?”

Ye Qiuqiu looked at the IV needle on her baby’s tiny foot and felt as if her heart was being twisted. She said, “It’s not that she doesn’t love Qianqian, it’s that she’s angry with me for talking back to her. For small matters, everyone has always given in to her, and no one has ever argued with her. But this time, how could I possibly yield to her? Even if Haobo were here, it would be impossible to listen to her.”

Having lived together for a long time, Ye Qiuqiu knew Mrs. Chen’s temperament well: stubborn, unwilling to listen to reason, too obstinate and self-righteous.

“If I were in H City, I could come over and help you,” Lin Gantang said.

“You don’t need to come here, stay with Yanqing. I appreciate your sentiments. The baby will be fine once we leave the hospital in a couple of days.”

Ye Qiuqiu didn’t want Lin Gantang to run around over this matter, nor did she want her to see herself in a frazzled state.

She quickly changed the subject: “How is your husband’s wound healing?”

“His condition has improved a lot. The doctor said that if it continues like this, there should be a possibility of recovery,” Lin Gantang said optimistically, “It’s better than having no hope at all.”

“Do you need to go abroad for a consultation?”

“His body is not fit for travel at the moment,” Lin Gantang said, “but a foreign medical team has already been hired, and he’s taking medication. Let’s see the current treatment results first.”

“That medication mustn’t be cheap, right?”

After Ye Qiuqiu asked, she heard the amount Lin Gantang mentioned and sighed, “Astronomical prices for medicine, lucky for you that you’re not short on money, otherwise how could you afford it.”

She wanted to say more, but seeing the doctor enter the ward, she had no choice but to say, “The doctor is here for a check-up, I have to go, hanging up now.”

Lin Gantang hummed, the call had already ended on the other side.

Lin Gantang, concerned about Ye Qiuqiu mentioning that she was eating takeout, searched and found a hotel near Ye Qiuqiu, contacting them to arrange a meal.

That evening, when Ye Qiuqiu received the meal delivered by the hotel staff, she asked if they had delivered to the wrong room.

“No mistake, it was a Miss Lin who ordered a nutritional meal for you, hoping you enjoy your meal.”

After the delivery person left, Ye Qiuqiu looked at the food in front of her, took a spoonful of the warm chicken soup, and suddenly her eyes grew warm and her nose tingled.

“Thank you,” she said.

“Don’t mention it, eat well and take good care of yourself. Qianqian needs breast milk, she can only eat well if you do,” Lin Gantang replied, “With Qianqian being sick, I ordered some light, nutritious meals for you. I’ll have it delivered to you in the next few days. I know you like spicy food, I’ll treat you and Qiuqiu to something delicious and spicy when this is all over.”

Ye Qiuqiu put down her phone, bowed her head to scoop up the rice, and her moist eyes finally let fall tears.

She remembered her mother’s teary eyes when she spoke of marriage with Chen Haobo, saying she didn’t want her to marry so far away because if she were ever bullied or needed help, there would be no family nearby, no one to comfort her if she cried.

Was it not just like how she felt at this moment?

Feeling wronged and exhausted, she could only quietly wipe away her tears.
