Promise You a Prosperous Life - C33
Yu Mo Yi didn’t look much different from before, but his facial features were still as handsome as before. As he spoke, his eyes shone with a wise and farsighted light, which caused the people around him to be attracted towards him, and his words couldn’t fail to display his logical ability and wisdom. However, in the moment of pause, a sliver of worry appeared in the depths of his eyes, and even though it was just a blink of an eye, I was still able to see everything clearly.
Perhaps, I thought, he hated me for leaving without a word.
My nose was sore, and I couldn’t help but rush up to him to apologize, to ask him to forgive me for having sex with him, to tell him that I hadn’t been having a good time these days, but I held back. After all, this was a public place, and I had said, “Don’t try to contact me again during this time.”
I tried my best to pretend to be calm as the dean greeted me with a smile, “Quickly thank Director Yu for his expertise. They came straight from the plane, especially Director Yu. The expert’s ability to come to our hospital this time is entirely dependent on him being in the middle.”
I took my mother to the specialist, who stared into her eyes and nodded.
I walked up to Yu Mo Yi with my mother and said sincerely, “Thank you, Director Yu, for giving my mother this opportunity. I thank you on behalf of my mother.”
With that, I stared at Yu Mo Yi with slight agitation, trying to discern whether he was happy or angry. No matter which one, it all belonged to me, or it was just an expressionless indifference.
But Yu Mo also didn’t look at me.
As I entered, he kept his head turned toward the specialist and the dean, and when we spoke he began to look down at a stack of medical records on his desk. Now that I greeted him, he still didn’t look up.
Yu Mo Yi’s attitude left me at a loss. I stood there not knowing what to do, but my mother. Hearing this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Yu Mo Yi with bright eyes. Then, ignoring everyone present, she rushed forward and grabbed onto Yu Mo Yi’s hand.
Mother happily said, “Let Yan’Er buy the roast chicken, we still have to climb the mountain, okay?”
Just as I was about to go and pull my mother back, Yu Mo raised his head early in the morning and was gently discussing with my mother, “I’ll listen to auntie, but we need to see a patient first. When the patient is well, we can go wherever Auntie wants to go, okay?”
His mother was so excited that she danced with joy and immediately sat down obediently.
Their conversation exposed our relationship with Yu Moyi. I felt awkward by the side, but the dean and experts smiled.
“Judging from the patient’s performance just now, he is much better than I expected,” the expert said. “I believe that after surgery and later medication, the patient will be able to create a miracle.”
I thanked the experts again, but at the same time, I was a little worried about the risk of surgery. After all, Mom had had a brain tumor operation before.
The expert explained that when he looked at his mother’s medical records, he found that she had been using medicine for a long time, which meant that the medicine could no longer control her condition. If he wanted his mother to recover, he would have to do the surgery.
After another hour of questioning, the expert had made a careful decision to observe my mother for another day, and then to find out the best surgical procedure for her specific circumstances, so as to maximize the success of the operation.
Everyone in the room was impressed by the academic rigor of the experts, and I was overwhelmed by hope for my mother’s surgery.
At night, after I had coaxed my mother to sleep, I couldn’t sleep for a long time. Looking at the quiet night, I felt as if I had experienced a movie replay in my mind.
I remembered that when my mother and I were not mentally ill, we would often go to the grocery store and eat snacks together. At that time, many people thought of us as sisters, and when they found out the truth, they all praised my mother for being so young, with such a temperament. At that time, my mother would always smile in return, but at that time, my mother revealed more and more of the beauty that came from her bones.
I remembered that before the supermarket incident, my father had always taken my mother and me on Sundays or holidays to travel with him, through the great rivers and mountains, through the beautiful scenery, with the laughter of the three of us, and every single moment of every day was carefree and happy.
I thought about the upheaval that had taken place in our family since the supermarket, how Dad had gone, how my fiancé and cousin had broken up, how our relatives had avoided us, and how my mother and I had spent our days in despair and anxiety.
Mom was too kind, I couldn’t understand what all of this was about, and then I became crazy, and I was forced to the corner of my mouth many times, I even thought of taking Mom to find Dad and leave.
I also remember all these tribulations because of Yu Mo Yi, the days can go on, I once again experienced the taste of love, know that the person I love is really sweeter than honey, also understand how when quarreling hurt the lungs, ice and fire, every day is so unforgettable and unforgettable.
I also had children, and for the first time tasted the pride and pride of a new mother. It was another kind of day that made the corners of one’s mouth rise, and although the child was finally forced to die, it was my fault for being so incompetent that I lost the child.
Under the dim yellow light, one or two pieces of leaves from the Ginkgo tree that fell to the ground seemed so tiny. However, because of the light from the lamp, all of them revealed a dreamy color.
Mom didn’t know what she was dreaming about, so after a few words, she fell asleep again. Thus, I wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes, walked to the bedside, covered Mom with a blanket, and prepared to sleep as well.
The door of the ward was knocked rhythmically, and when it was opened, it turned out to be the dean. He said that he was on duty for the night shift, and when he arrived, he saw that the lights of our ward were still on.
So it was like that. I told the dean in detail about my mother’s performance over the past few hours. Finally, I said gratefully, “Principal, it’s already so late and you’re still thinking about my mother’s illness. I’m really grateful.”
The Headmaster looked at me and said extremely earnestly, “Still, the person you should be thanking the most is not me, it’s Boss Yu. I only found out about it when I was having dinner with Boss Yu and some experts from abroad tonight. In order to facilitate this academic exchange, there are many domestic and foreign people who travel to the two hospitals.
The dean suddenly thought of something and said, “Oh, right. He had a stomach attack tonight and didn’t even eat a few mouthfuls of food. But as soon as the meal ended, he followed the foreign experts to the hotel.”
I was stunned. Yu Mo had a stomachache? Why aren’t you resting and accompanying foreign experts? In that instant, the image of him frowning yet forcing a smile appeared in my mind. My heart felt as though it had been smashed by a heavy stone, causing me to feel pain. I suppressed my tears and asked the dean.
“President, can you please tell me which hotel they are staying in? I must get the stomach medicine for Director Yu, who, after all, is suffering from his mother’s ailment– ”
I could not bear to continue.
The dean expressed his understanding and handed me a business card. “No need to say anymore, I understand everything. Hurry up and go. I’ll instruct the nurse to keep an eye on your mother.”
I didn’t know how to express my feelings. I bowed to the dean and ran out of the room.
