Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Three Years Later, Reunion with Qiao Yu

When Lin Ning was making the call to Xu Yansu, Su Mu was on her way to Shen City. In fact, she had just returned from Shen City and there was no need or necessity for her to shuttle back and forth like this. However, last night, she had a dream in which Su Yimo truly contracted the same illness as the elderly lady, and no matter what she did, she couldn’t wake her up.

Awakening from the dream, she almost reflexively went to Su Yimo’s room to check on her, regardless of whether she was asleep, just waking her up like that. It wasn’t until Su Yimo opened her eyes that Su Mu felt alive again.

Therefore, she didn’t want to wait any longer. She needed to know if this illness really had genetic factors, and if so, was there a possibility for a cure? What are the chances that Su Yimo carried this virus?

Upon arriving at the hospital, Su Mu first sought out Jiang Bei. She hadn’t informed anyone in advance, and Jiang Bei was surprised by her appearance, somewhat worried:

"Why have you come back? Has something happened?"

Su Mu shook her head:

"Nothing, I just wanted to confirm something about Qiqi."

Jiang Bei immediately understood:

"Are you here to see Qiao Yu?"

"Yes, is he here?"

Looking at her, Jiang Bei didn’t know what exactly had happened that would make her return to Shen City overnight, but since Su Mu had come, there had to be a reason for it: "He should be; I haven’t seen him for a long time either. Do you want me to accompany you there?"

"No need, you go ahead with your work. I’ll come find you after I’ve spoken with Qiao Yu."

"All right."

It had been 3 years since Su Mu was last here, yet she still knew her way around. She went to the surgery department and knocked on Qiao Yu’s office door but received no answer. A passing nurse kindly reminded her:

"Director Qiao is in surgery; it will take some time before he can come out. Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to refer you to another doctor?"

Su Mu smiled and shook her head:

"No need, I’ll just wait for him here."

The nurse smiled back:

"Then you can wait on the seats over there. Director Qiao usually comes down those stairs. You’ll be able to see him as soon as he comes down from that spot."

"Thank you."

After the nurse left, Su Mu sat down on the bench, her heart feeling somewhat uneasy. This was the Fu family’s hospital, which she had visited countless times, each visit evoking different emotions. But this time, she felt that time was particularly hard to endure.

Su Mu had been sitting on the bench for nearly two hours, and yet there was still no sign of Qiao Yu. She didn’t leave, patiently waiting until she received a video call from Su Yimo.

On the screen, Su Yimo, with two cute braids, was blinking her large eyes incessantly, looking at Su Mu:

"Wood, when are you coming back?"

"I’ll be able to have dinner with you tonight." Su Mu smiled slightly. "Have you been listening to Sister Lin?"

"Yes, I’ve been good, just a bit miss Wood."

"I’ll be back soon."

"Okay, then I’ll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone with Su Yimo, Su Mu leaned against the wall tiredly. Out of the corner of her eye, however, she noticed a white figure standing beside her. As she turned her head, she saw Qiao Yu’s smiling face, not knowing how long he had been standing there.

Su Mu got up from the seat, smiling faintly.

Qiao Yu smiled too:

"I thought I was mistaken when I walked down the stairs, but it really is you. Long time no see."

"It’s been a long time," he said.

Qiao Yu nodded somewhat emotionally, "Are you here to see me?"

"Yes, I have something I want to ask you."

"Come in then."

Qiao Yu led Su Mu into his office and had her sit down in front of his desk. After washing his hands in the en-suite bathroom, he came out and asked Su Mu,

"Would you like something to drink? My options are quite limited here; I only have instant coffee and boiled water."

Su Mu looked at him, "I’m not thirsty."

Although she said that, Qiao Yu still poured her a cup of boiled water and placed it in front of her. Su Mu quietly thanked him, and Qiao Yu suddenly felt as if they were worlds apart. The person in front of him was still the same, but that was the only thing that remained unchanged; everything else seemed entirely out of place.

Qiao Yu sat down opposite Su Mu:

"The one you were video calling just now, was that your child?"

Su Mu guessed that Qiao Yu had seen Su Yimo and didn’t hide it, simply nodding her head, "Yes."

"I heard it was a little princess but never had the chance to see her. I never imagined the first time would be over video. However, she is as beautiful and adorable as I imagined."

Although Su Mu and Qiao Yu weren’t the kind of friends who shared everything, they had enjoyed a comfortable rapport. Now, despite only three years of not seeing each other, Su Mu felt there was an awkwardness in their interaction, primarily because she couldn’t forget the words she had heard from Qiao Yu and Ji Nanfeng.

Not wanting to prolong this atmosphere, she decided to be direct:

"I came because there’s something I want to ask you."

Qiao Yu nodded:

"Go ahead."

Su Mu was silent for a few seconds, but finally said, "A few days ago, I heard something about Mr. Fu’s health condition."

Honestly, Qiao Yu had not expected Su Mu to bring up this issue with him, nor did he know how she found out. Based on his understanding of the people around Su Mu, it was impossible that anyone would have told her. But here she stood, knowing about it.

Yet Qiao Yu did not answer directly. There were many things that Su Mu was not yet suitable to know.

"What did you hear?"

"I heard that he and the old lady have the same illness; is that true?"

"You came just for this? Are you worried about him?"

Su Mu shook her head, "No."

Qiao Yu tried to detect any pretense or lies in Su Mu’s expression, but he failed. Su Mu didn’t seem to be sitting in front of him because she was worried about Fu Shinian, which made him feel a fleeting sorrow for Fu Shinian. However, this emotion was brief.

"So what do you mean...?"

"I want to know if this disease has any hereditary factors?"

Su Mu’s words made Qiao Yu realize:

"You’re worried that your child might face a similar situation?"

"Yes."

After receiving Su Mu’s affirmative reply, there was a moment of uncertainty. After all, her divorce from Fu Shinian had led everyone to believe that the child she carried wasn’t his. Yet now, three years later, she sat in front of Fu Shinian’s best friend, inquiring whether her child might have the same illness as Fu Shinian, indirectly admitting the child was Fu Shinian’s.

However, regarding this matter, not only was Fu Shinian reluctant to acknowledge it, but Su Mu herself had stopped acknowledging it. If possible, she didn’t want to either, but when it concerned Su Yimo’s health, she had no choice but to ask.
