Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Bound to Die Sooner or Later

Mrs. Bo grabbed Qin Yinyin and held her in her arms, glaring at Bo Yunshen to stop the words he was about to utter, "Yinyin, your father has leukemia, and if he doesn’t find a suitable bone marrow donor, he will die sooner or later."

Qin Yinyin’s small face changed color instantly.

She stared steadily at Mrs. Bo. Although Qin Yinyin was still young, she had learned to read people’s expressions from an early age. From Mrs. Bo’s face, she noticed a hint of gravity and looked disbelievingly at her father.

Bo Yunshen wore a sullen face, looking unpleasant no matter how you judged it.

This suggests that Mrs. Bo was likely telling the truth, not merely trying to scare her.

Qin Yinyin didn’t understand what leukemia was, nor the concepts of bone marrow or donors, as she was only three years old and couldn’t comprehend. But she did understand one thing: Mrs. Bo said, "He will die!"

After a long reaction time, Qin Yinyin suddenly burst into tears.

"I don’t want Daddy to die!"

Mrs. Bo’s lips tugged slightly, feeling a momentary comfort in her heart: "Then go back and help persuade your mama, your mama can save your daddy; her bone marrow can make your daddy’s body better."

"Ah Ru!"

Bo Yuanshan admonished Mrs. Bo sternly.

Even Bo Yunshen’s face turned increasingly unsightly. Mrs. Bo spoke quietly, knowing Qin Yan was outside the ward and couldn’t possibly hear.

If it’s your own daughter, asking Qin Yan to donate her bone marrow to Yunshen, that woman Qin Yan couldn’t possibly appear cold-blooded and unfeeling in front of a three-year-old, could she?

"Mom, what nonsense are you telling Yinyin? She doesn’t understand anything, no matter how much you say, it’s useless!"

In an emotional outburst, Bo Yunshen couldn’t hold back and coughed twice, his lips a pallid shade, faintly tinged with purple.

Evidently, although there was no immediate danger to life, the decline resulting from leukemia was undeniable.

Bo Yunshen extended his hand towards Qin Yinyin, speaking softly: "Yinyin, come to Daddy."

Qin Yinyin obediently walked over.

He fixed his gaze on the child, who resembled him so much, that just from the contours alone, one could tell Qin Yinyin was his child.

But three years ago, because of Lin Man’s deceit, he was convinced that Qin Yinyin wasn’t his child, believing Qin Yan had used some trick or deceitful ploy.

Thinking of this, Bo Yunshen felt as if a knife was twisting in his heart.

Blood rushed through his veins, bringing an unignorable pain to his chest.

Bo Yunshen licked the corner of his lips, forcing a smile: "Don’t listen to Grandma’s nonsense. Don’t ask your mom about anything when you go back. I’m fine. I’ll be better in a few days and discharged from the hospital. Then I’ll take you to the amusement park, okay?"

Qin Yinyin nodded.

She was so obedient, obedient enough to make Bo Yunshen’s heart ache. He reached out to rub Qin Yinyin’s head gently and asked softly, "And you, are your injuries healed?"

Qin Yinyin knew that Bo Yunshen was asking about her leg. The little girl lifted her dress, revealing her white and smooth little leg, "It’s scabbed, Mom said it will be better soon."

On Qin Yinyin’s white little leg, a dark scab stood out starkly, conspicuously glaring.

This kind of scab should not have appeared on Qin Yinyin’s leg.

Bo Yunshen reached out his thumb and gently rubbed it.

This action made Lin Man’s skin crawl.

When she thought Bo Yunshen might do something, he suddenly patted her head and handed his left wrist adorned with a watch to Qin Yinyin: "It’s already late, go back and rest early, adjust the time difference!"

"Be good."

Qin Yinyin no longer wanted to stay here; she wanted to go out and ask her mom if what Grandma said was true.

Without waiting for Grandpa and Grandma to accompany her, Qin Yinyin lowered her skirt and dashed out.

Mrs. Bo ran after her. Bo Yuanshan gave one last look at Bo Yunshen and then left, leaving Lin Man with no intention of leaving.

Bo Yunshen lifted his eyelids slightly, his lips moved: "You’re about to become a bride, aren’t you going back to rest up and aim to be the most beautiful bride?"

With every word seemingly urging her to leave, combined with the few earlier rebuffs encountered with Bo Yunshen, Lin Man’s face darkened as she left with a curt "Rest well."

As she exited, Qin Yan and Bo Yuanshan were still outside, with the wind picking up. Qin Yan squatted in the corridor, putting a small coat on Qin Yinyin.

Lin Man squinted her eyes as she looked at Qin Yan.

She was very fair-skinned, a hue difficult for most to pull off, but it seemed to fit perfectly on Qin Yan. Even as she squatted, her body had a notably gentle silhouette.

Lin Man’s eyes flickered slightly.

Soon, she and Bo Yunshen would be married, and she didn’t believe that Qin Yan could have any better life away from Bo Yunshen.

She sneered and greeted Mrs. Bo and Bo Yuanshan before leaving directly.

Qin Yan didn’t know what Lin Man was ridiculing, nor did she care; she finished putting the coat on Yinyin. As Bo Yuanshan offered to see them off, just as Qin Yan was about to refuse, Xu Lin pushed open the hospital ward door and came out.

"Mr. Bo asked me to see Miss Yinyin off safely," Xu Lin said.

Qin Yan shifted her gaze: "No need to send us, I can call a cab myself..."

"Mr. Qin, recently the security in Tong City has been poor, and there have been many incidents with taxis at night. Mr. Bo is concerned about the child and asked me to ensure Miss Yinyin returns home safely."

It made sense.

He already has the paternity test results, confirming Qin Yinyin is indeed his daughter, and if he hadn’t reacted, that would have been more suspicious.

"Mr. Qin, shall we go? I need to return to care for Mr. Bo."

It would be ungracious to refuse further, so Qin Yan nodded.

Bo Yuanshan and Mrs. Bo exchanged glances and then left as well.

Xu Lin drove Bo Yunshen’s car, still the conspicuous Maserati, with a child’s seat installed in the passenger side. Qin Yan recognized this child seat but hadn’t expected that it would still be there, even after she had taken Yinyin abroad.

She frowned slightly, carried Qin Yinyin, secured her seatbelt, then got into the car, and gave Lu Xiang’s home address.

Xu Lin smiled briefly and drove forward. Qin Yan, after the long flight, was somewhat weary. She closed her eyes briefly for a rest, and upon reopening them, they had already arrived at Xing Yue Bay.

Qin Yan paused slightly.

The direction to Lu Xiang’s place was entirely opposite from Xing Yue Bay, although she had mentioned.

"Secretary Xu?"

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Bo has already purchased this property," Xu Lin handed over a set of keys and explained, "On the day you left the country, in a hurry to follow you, he texted me to come and acquire it."
