Chapter 501: Four hundred ninety-six Birthday_1 in the ward

After buying the little cake, Tang Tang also became happy.

"Daddy, when do you think Qi Qi can be discharged from the hospital?" Tang Tang asked Gu Chen curiously.

"What’s up? Why do you ask?" Gu Chen didn’t understand and said to Tang Tang.

"Because I want Qi Qi to taste this delicious little cake, too. Today is his birthday, and she hasn’t had any cake yet."

After Tang Tang said this, Gu Chen realized.

True to being Qi Qi’s friend, Tang Tang was aware of what he himself had failed to notice.

Gu Chen then went back to the cake shop and bought a larger cake.

He then drove Tang Tang towards the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Gu Chen led Tang Tang to the ward.

In this short period of time, Qi Qi’s other family members had all rushed over, too.

Every person in the ward tried their best to squeeze out a smile.

After all, they couldn’t let Qi Qi see that something was wrong, or else wouldn’t the little one be scared?

Yet everyone knew it wasn’t a solution to keep on pretending; sooner or later, Qi Qi would realize something was different about herself.

That’s when Gu Chen and Tang Tang entered, and seeing Qi Qi sitting on the hospital bed, Tang Tang quickly went over with the cake.

"Qi Qi, this is the birthday cake I bought for you. Since you didn’t get to eat it at home, let’s eat it here in the ward!" Tang Tang said to Qi Qi.

Upon hearing this, Qi Qi’s eyes lit up suddenly. "Cake! Thank you!"

She was ecstatic!

Although there were many family members in the ward, the faces of all these family friends were filled with concern.

That also caused Qi Qi’s mood to be incredibly gloomy, even though she didn’t know what exactly was happening.

After all, a birthday should be a joyous occasion, but with everyone looking this way, how could she be happy?

However, seeing the cake, Qi Qi couldn’t stop the joy and excitement on her face.

To her, this was what could genuinely make her happy.

"Uncle, let’s eat the cake together." At this moment, Qi Qi said to Gu Chen.

Qi Qi’s parents and relatives were surprised to see her so happy.

They had completely forgotten to consider Qi Qi’s feelings. Qi Qi, knowing nothing, spending the day in the ward, must have felt so monotonous.

But between children, there is a certain attentiveness. As for Tang Tang, she didn’t know exactly what was wrong with Qi Qi.

All she knew was that Qi Qi was sick and hadn’t eaten any cake.

So what truly made her happy was just an ordinary cream cake.

Thus, they inserted candles into the cake, and Qi Qi made her birthday wish.

After blowing out the candles, it was time to cut the cake.

Everyone there joined Qi Qi in eating the cake.

The little girl’s face was full of smiles, making it an unforgettable birthday for her.

Watching the smile on Qi Qi’s face, her dad felt an immense relief in his heart.

To him, Qi Qi’s current appearance was of utmost importance.

Because he didn’t know if he would be able to see Qi Qi’s smile in the future.

So every smile of Qi Qi’s was precious and rare.

"Tang Tang’s parent, I really can’t thank you enough. If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t know what to do today." Qi Qi’s father said to Gu Chen.

Today, Gu Chen had truly been a big help to him.

He hadn’t expected that in such a situation, Gu Chen would be able to remain so collected and calm.

"It’s nothing, really, just a simple gesture on my part," Gu Chen said.

"Right, Tangtang’s parent, Qi Qi’s medical expenses this time were also advanced by you; I’m going to repay you right now," Qi Qi’s father said to Gu Chen.

He had completely forgotten about it before.

The medical expenses were neither too much nor too little, nearly three thousand yuan.

Just as he was about to pay, Gu Chen said, "No need, I can’t use that money for the time being, so just save it to buy Qi Qi a gift for her next birthday."

Gu Chen really knew how to speak; he deliberately mentioned "next birthday."

Qi Qi was now seriously ill, and it was uncertain whether she could hold out until her next birthday.

But with Gu Chen saying that, Qi Qi’s father was still very happy.

"That’s it for today, Tangtang’s mom is still waiting at home, I’ll bring Tangtang over again after some time to visit."

Gu Chen said to Qi Qi’s father.

It was getting late now, and even if they stayed here, it would be of no use.

So at that moment, Gu Chen took Tangtang back home.

When they got home, Ji Pianran had been waiting for a long time already.

"Where did you guys go today? And whose birthday was it actually?" Ji Pianran asked Gu Chen.

After listening, Gu Chen told Ji Pianran all about the events at Qi Qi’s home that day.

Ji Pianran was stunned for a moment after hearing it.

"Leukemia? How can she have this disease at such a young age?" Ji Pianran asked Gu Chen.

To be honest, she had considered before whether Tangtang might get sick or something.

But with Tangtang always smiling so radiantly every day, Ji Pianran gradually forgot about the possibility of illness.

The serious illness of Tangtang’s classmate today also gave Ji Pianran a jolting realization.

"Husband, Tangtang won’t get sick too, will she?" Ji Pianran asked Gu Chen, very worried.

She simply couldn’t imagine what this family would become if Tangtang fell seriously ill.

"Don’t worry, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it," Gu Chen told Ji Pianran.

In reality, if Tangtang did get sick, Gu Chen had no idea what to do.

How can one rescue a life? Even Gu Chen was helpless in that case.

Could Spiritual Spring achieve that? Gu Chen thought it was utterly impossible.

If Spiritual Spring really could save a life, the impact would be astounding.

By then, let alone the whole Chuan City, it’s likely that countless people from around the world would rush over to queue up.

While Gu Chen was thinking this, he couldn’t help but consider the future.

People will inevitably face birth, aging, sickness, and death. Ji Pianran only thought of Tangtang, but she hadn’t considered herself.

For Gu Chen, if Ji Pianran also suddenly fell seriously ill, the family would probably be ruined.

As Gu Chen pondered this in his heart, he still didn’t know what to do.

However, the inevitabilities of life didn’t really bother Gu Chen that much.

After all, he could be considered someone who had ’died’ once before.

Even if he had to face death again, there was no fear in Gu Chen’s heart.

Perhaps, the only thing he would cling to was his reluctance to leave his wife and daughter behind.

In this world, there are so many wonderful things, yet they don’t come close to the importance of his wife and daughter in Gu Chen’s heart.

"All we need to do is give her a perfect childhood while Tangtang is still with us," Gu Chen consoled Ji Pianran.
