Chapter 254: Chapter 254: You Still Want to Kill Someone in Broad Daylight?

"I’m not free to go now, I’ll talk about it in a few days." Tang Yu didn’t want to go, she was totally out of the mood.

"Your mother is in the hospital."

"Hospital? What’s wrong with her? What’s not feeling right?" Tang Yu asked.

"Late-stage pancreatic cancer."

After Tang Yu hung up the phone, she hurriedly hailed a taxi and went straight to the hospital.

Sitting in the backseat, she urged the driver to go faster.

She was restless and panicky, with tears silently rolling down.

Pancreatic cancer...pancreatic cancer...and it’s late-stage, how could this be...how could it be...

Zhou Qinghua had said the same thing to her on the phone that time.

After she hurried back, Yu Zhaohui acted as if nothing was wrong. Could it be that Zhou Qinghua was spouting nonsense?

Could Ye Xianghua have made a mistake?

She rushed to the ward, her steps halting abruptly; she didn’t even dare to open the door.

She heard Ye Xianghua’s voice from inside, "You can’t go back now."

"I used to like hospitals a lot because I worked in one before, and then I met you. But now I don’t, because it’s going to take me away..." Yu Zhaohui’s crying voice.

Tang Yu pushed the door open and went in, seeing Yu Zhaohui leaning against the bed, looking haggard and listless. A few days’ absence had made her lose a lot of weight; she looked like a different person.

She stood there as if she didn’t recognize her own mother, emotions welling up in her chest, causing a painful sourness that was stuck there.

"You...why did you come?" Yu Zhaohui didn’t expect Tang Yu to come, as it was apparent that Ye Xianghua hadn’t mentioned it to her. Realizing that her being in the hospital would seem abnormal to Tang Yu, she explained, "I’ve got a bit of a severe cold, nothing serious, I can be discharged from the hospital today. Right, Xianghua?"

Ye Xianghua, feeling guilty, "It can’t be hidden anymore, I told her everything."

Yu Zhaohui was stunned.

"I’m going to find a doctor." Tang Yu turned to leave.

"Xiaoyu, whatever you want to ask, Mom can tell you."

Tang Yu stood there, not even daring to turn her head.

Her eyes were red, tears impossible to hold back.

"I’ll go and get some IV fluids." Ye Xianghua got up and left the ward, closing the door behind him.

"Sorry, Mom didn’t mean to keep it from you. I just found out about this disease myself, but it’s nothing. Medical science is so advanced these days, there definitely will be a treatment plan," Yu Zhaohui said, trying to sound casual.

Tang Yu turned around, her face covered in tears and grievance.

Seeing this, Yu Zhaohui’s heart softened, "Come here to Mom."

Tang Yu walked over and sat by the bed.

Yu Zhaohui took her hand and wiped the tears from her face, "Don’t be sad. In life, one has to go through partings and deaths. Once you understand that, there’s nothing much to care about."

Tang Yu was unable to speak, her lips quivering, and tears dropping one by one.

She felt so miserable she thought she was going to die.

Pancreatic cancer...is there really a treatment plan?

"Look at you, just like when you were little, your tears are worth nothing. My good child, don’t cry, alright?" Yu Zhaohui said tenderly.

"Why has this happened, why...I can’t take it..." Tang Yu lay in Yu Zhaohui’s arms, sobbing so hard her entire body was shaking.

Yu Zhaohui held her, tears spilling from her eyes, "Stop crying, be good..."

Tang Yu didn’t want to cry in front of Yu Zhaohui, burdening her sick mother with even more psychological weight.

But the thought of her only relative, her beloved mother, having an incurable disease, was uncontrollable.

It was an unbearable thought.

"Stay with Mom for a while, will you?" Yu Zhaohui asked.

"Okay, I won’t go anywhere else," Tang Yu assured. "I’ll be with you, and you must cooperate with the doctors for your treatment."

"I know." Yu Zhaohui would try to live a little longer for her daughter.

After leaving the ward, Tang Yu was anxious to find Meng Jilin and inquire about Yu Zhaohui’s condition.

After understanding the situation, Meng Jilin said to her, "Spend more time with her, she doesn’t even have a month left."

"What... what did you say? A month..." Tang Yu’s body went limp and she fell.

Luckily, Meng Jilin was quick to catch her, "Are you okay? Calm down."

Tang Yu, cradled in his arms, lifted her face, her eyes brimming with tears, and choked with pain, she asked, "Is there really no way to treat her? What about going abroad?"

"Ye Xianghua asked too, it’s not just about going abroad, there’s no known cure in the whole world. If it were early stage, there might be hope, but it’s too late now, there’s nothing to be done." Meng Jilin said with pity.

But as a doctor, he had the duty and responsibility to tell the truth.

Besides, Tang Yu was the person he liked, how could he possibly hide anything from her?

Tang Yu’s entire body seemed to sink down; if Meng Jilin weren’t holding her, she would have collapsed to the ground.

She closed her eyes in despair, tears rolling down.

Her weight was entirely supported by Meng Jilin’s arm strength, very weak, barely able to stand for even a few minutes.

After a long while, Tang Yu opened her eyes and steadied herself to stand up, her voice hoarse, "Thank you..."

She turned weakly and left.

When she reached the corridor outside, she felt as if all her energy had drained away, and she sat down on the bench, hands covering her face, her shoulders shaking continuously.

Less than a month left...

She was caught so unprepared...

It had been so hard for her to find her mother, to know her mother loved her, why must even her kinship be taken away in the end...

What unforgivable thing had she done to deserve such torment...

Yu Zhaohui didn’t want to stay in the hospital and made a fuss about being discharged.

The doctors said surgery was superfluous, only making the patient leave the world in more pain; it was better to eat and drink well now and suffer less.

So Tang Yu and Ye Xianghua both decided to spend the remaining time accompanying Yu Zhaohui well.

Just as she walked out of the hospital’s main entrance, she was stopped by two people.

Tang Yu looked at Tang Yifei and Tang Fulin in front of her, her expression cold.

She was sure they did not show up here by coincidence.

Tang Yifei had been close to Zhou Qinghua, so it must have been Zhou Qinghua who made Yu Zhaohui’s illness known to everyone.

"Oh, what’s the matter?" Tang Fulin looked at Yu Zhaohui, who was being supported by Ye Xianghua, her complexion poor, "Not feeling well? Didn’t catch some terminal disease, did you?"

Tang Yu was furious, "Shut up!"

"Oh, let me introduce myself, my name is Tang Fulin, Yu Zhaohui’s ex-husband." Then, with eyes filled with hatred, he continued, "If my hand hadn’t been broken, I would have liked to shake yours, after all, we married the same woman, comrades in misery."

Ye Xianghua kept a stern face, dignified but not wanting to deal with these people, "Please step aside."

"The CEO sure is dignified; he’s more cultured than some," Tang Fulin said with pointed insinuation at Tang Yu.

"If she had followed Dad from the start, none of this would have happened," Tang Yifei chipped in.

"How did you get caught up with Yu Zhaohui? She’s so promiscuous, as long as a man has money, she takes her clothes off real fast!" Tang Fulin said.

"You..." Yu Zhaohui was so angry that she breathed rapidly.

Tang Yu was about to step forward and push away the disgusting pair in front of her when she heard Ye Xianghua say, "No hands left, want to lose your legs too?"

In that moment, Tang Yu felt as if she saw Ye Sihan’s shadow on Ye Xianghua.

"What are you going to do, murder in broad daylight?" Tang Fulin said with his mouth, but he was visibly scared, taking a step back.

Tang Yifei looked panicked for a moment, hiding behind Tang Fulin.

Ye Xianghua signaled to the driver with a look.

The driver went up, grabbed Tang Fulin with one hand, dragging him like a dead dog, and kicked him far away.
