NOVEL NEXT Chapter 643 Decision.
Bai Yiyi sat on the bed playing with the little girl.
The little girl had gone from being cautious and unfamiliar with her to being very close, starting to crawl all over her.
She would even suddenly throw herself into her arms, giggling while reaching out her little hand to pinch her sister's cheek.
Although this sister's smile looked more like crying, she was still willing to play with her.
The little girl was very curious.
There were never this many people in the house usually.
Li Guangming sat with Feng Chun on a chair, while Bai Jiefang and Jiang Lei could only sit quietly nearby, as mere background.
"Chun'er, speak clearly to me, what illness do you have after all? What's the big deal that you can't talk to me about? We are a couple, even have a child together. You have such a big disease and you don't tell me?"
Li Guangming's voice held anger, along with a subtle tenderness.
Feng Chun sighed, "I didn't originally want you to know about this; I was afraid you would react this way. Last time, when my stomach hurt, you insisted I go to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor found it was stomach cancer. It's already in the late stage, and I have at most half a year to live.
I thought since I was already dying, why should you still marry a dead person like me? You already had a wife who died, and if you married me, you'd have another wife die. How would you ever find another wife again?
I pondered for a long time, and since I'm a person with a cursed fate, I'll die soon but can't drag down the child and you. Yiyi is living well with her family in the city; I don't want her to be burdened by me as her mother.
You too. You've already taken good care of me, but now I've left you with such a young child, and it's already my fault."
Feng Chun began to cry.
Li Guangming held his wife in his arms, letting her cry against his chest.
"Don't talk nonsense like that. We are family; we are a couple. It's not about life and death. You're sick, we go to the hospital, I have money, I've saved quite a bit selling pork these years. I'll take you to see a doctor, and if it's not treatable here, we'll go to a big city.
Yes, we'll go to the Capital City. I've heard about Yiyi's sister and her brother-in-law; their whole family is doctors. We'll go to those good doctors, and they'll definitely cure your illness. We'll worry about the cost later; you shouldn't think so hopelessly."
This was a man's solemn vow.
Bai Yiyi wiped her tears.
"Mom! Come with Uncle and me; we'll go to the Capital City together. They have so many big hospitals, the best in the country. You'll definitely get treated there."
She had always thought that her mother was heartless and cold, but now she saw this side of her.
Jiang Lei hurriedly nodded, "Yes, Yiyi is right, we'll go to the Capital City. Let me tell you, when I was almost dying from a car accident, it was at one of the Capital City's big hospitals, and after a surgery, I got better right away.
Look, I still have a scar on my stomach. Even such a severe injury got better, let alone your little illness, it will definitely be treated."
Jiang Lei was genuinely moved by Feng Chun.
A mother who could do this for her child and husband showed immense emotional depth.
If such a person were to die, it felt unjust.
He couldn't believe that fate could be so blind as to let such a good person die.
He knew of it.
Long ago, Bai Yiyi mentioned that her mother was wrongly accused and imprisoned for corruption when she was merely a regular factory worker. How could corruption be linked to her?
She was just shouldering the blame for someone else.
After getting out of prison, her husband even sold their house, leaving her with nowhere to go.
Finally, after hardships came happiness, meeting someone who treated her well, she ended up with such an illness.
No wonder this woman had changed so drastically.
She could harden her heart because she wanted her daughter not to have any attachment to her.
This is a mother's love.
The decision must have taken so much courage to make herself out to seem like a vicious woman who abandoned her husband and daughter.
Feng Chun shook her head, "Forget it, there's no need. There's really no need for a check-up, the doctors said I have half a year at most. I know my health is not up to it. Don't waste your money; save it for the children in the future. You poor thing, leaving you to care for the little girl when she's still so young.
Yiyi, mom feels most guilty about you. I'm always regretting not having cared for you properly. In the future, listen to your sister and brother-in-law. Remember, be thankful and repay kindness.
You must repay your sister and brother-in-law in the future, they raised you without expecting anything, like parents reborn with immense kindness, mom wishes she could repay them for a lifetime."
Bai Yiyi tried hard not to cry.
Her sister had told her that crying solved nothing; it was the weakest form of expression.
She needed to find a way to help her mother, to solve the current problems.
Yes, she must take her mother to the Capital City.
Her sister mentioned that the best hospitals were there, her sister was a doctor, and she would surely find a way.
Her sister was the most amazing person in the world; if she could save so many people, she could definitely save her mother.
"Mom, since you said you want to live and repay my sister and brother-in-law like an ox, then you need to live well. Uncle, if you truly care about my mom, take her with me.
My sister is the best doctor; she'll look at my mom and find a way."
Bai Yiyi resolutely discussed it with Li Guangming.
An eight-year-old child's adult-like steadiness and calm swiftly astonished everyone in the room.
Even Jiang Lei and Bai Jiefang felt inferior; they were more than a decade older than Yiyi.
Yet, they couldn't achieve such composure.
"Don't worry, Yiyi, I'll pack right away, go get all the money from the bank, borrow some more if needed, and go with your mom. We'll get her the treatment; we have to make sure your mom lives well."
Li Guangming's chaotic mind suddenly stabilized; he knew what he had to do.
He was determined to save his wife.
Bai Yiyi nodded, holding the little girl tightly, knowing meeting her sister and brother-in-law was a stroke of luck, but she hoped the little girl would grow up under her parents' care.
She didn't want her sister to experience the pain of losing her mother at such a young age.
If her mother passed away and Li Guangming remarried, there was no guarantee a stepmother would treat the girl well.
Jiang Lei stood up, "I'll call home and inform them so that we can book tickets to return to the Capital City at the soonest possible time."
Since it's stomach cancer, a fatal illness, it's urgent to act on it.
