But she didn't know until this moment that all her cautiousness was seen by them. They knew everything, but they were just cooperating with her and not telling the truth.
If she hadn't just wanted to save her mother in advance, her father probably wouldn't have had a showdown with her so quickly.
Li Huaisheng was worried that Li You would make an irreversible decision, and his tone was not very good: "If you are disobedient and insist on having your own way, don't blame me for denying you as my daughter."
Li You bit his lower lip in frustration: "But I'm afraid it's too late."
"There's enough time." Li Huaisheng said decisively.
Li You looked at Li's father blankly, unable to suppress his choked voice: "But... but mother, she..."
Li Huaisheng's tone was as firm as before: "If I say it's time, it will be in time!"
-
After rescue, Mo Zhu was out of danger.
Li Huaisheng kept watch in the ward, and Mrs. Desin also went in twice. Only Li You didn't go in once and sat quietly on the waiting chair outside.
Mrs. Desin did not disturb Li You when she came out for the first time.
When he came out for the second time, he saw her still sitting there and walked towards her with gentle steps.
Li You had been immersed in her own world. She didn't even know when Mrs. Disin sat down next to her. She noticed the strength on her arm. She looked sideways and her eyelashes trembled: "Mrs. Disin."
Mrs. Desing asked her: "What do you want to do next?"
Li You opened his lips: "I think..."
Before Li You finished speaking, Mrs. Disin reminded her: "You must think clearly."
Li You lowered his eyes: "Mom's condition is getting worse. I can no longer convince myself to wait. Besides, mom can no longer afford to wait. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you think clearly." Mrs. Desing comforted.
Li You turned sideways and stretched out his hands to hug Mrs. Disin: "I still can't make a decision. No matter what I do, it is wrong. I have thought about it for a long time and I can't think of the best way. I don't know what to do.
Already..."
Enough words of comfort have been said, and words of persuasion have been said dozens of times.
So Mrs. Disin chose to remain silent this time and did not continue to say comforting words. She only stayed by Li You's side silently, observing her emotions at all times.
In the evening, Li's father took Li You home.
The father and daughter, who have always talked about everything, were in rare silence today.
Halfway through the car ride, the quiet atmosphere was broken by Li's father. He asked Li You: "Are you still angry because of what I said in the morning?"
Li You took his eyes away from the car window and looked at the windshield in front: "I have forgotten what dad said this morning."
Li Huai smiled angrily: "I'll let you have your stubborn temper."
Li You looked sideways at Li's father: "Is following you a good thing or a bad thing?"
Li Huaisheng shook his head: "Not bad." After a slight pause, he added three words: "It's not bad either."
The corners of Li You's lips curved, but the arc was very shallow: "Dad, when I grow up, I want to make my own decisions."
The only smile on Li Huaisheng's face disappeared. He found a spot to pull over, turned off the engine, and turned to look at Li You: "Then tell me, what decision do you want to make? Abort my grandson?"
Li You shook his head: "No."
Li Huaisheng's face improved a little: "It's best not."
Li You said seriously: "I hope you can help me hide my pregnancy from Pei Jingzhou."
When Li Huaisheng heard this, he was not surprised. He just asked: "Why do you want to hide it from him? He has the right to know."
"Of course he has the right..." Li You lowered his eyes: "I will give birth to two babies with peace of mind, but no one knows what the final outcome will be before some unknown things happen. Pei Jingzhou is already worried about me.
In the current situation, if he knew that I was pregnant, he would be more miserable and blame himself than me."
She didn't want to see him in pain.
Obviously everything has the best outcome, and she can perform a bone marrow transplant for her mother as soon as possible, but because of the unexpected pregnancy at this important juncture, if Pei Jingzhou knew about it, she couldn't imagine what he would do.
This was also the main reason why she chose to hide Pei Jingzhou from the beginning.
Li Huaisheng understood his daughter's thoughts and reminded: "Your thoughts are not wrong, but you can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it for a lifetime."
"I know, I know everything." Li You raised his eyes and turned to look at Li's father: "But I have already thought about it. If he knows about it in the future, he will say that I want to use umbilical cord blood to save my mother and hide it secretly.
He is pregnant."
In this way, it becomes her fault for him.
Compared to Pei Jingzhou feeling guilty and blaming himself for the rest of his life, she is willing to bear all this.
Li Huaisheng doesn't think this is a good solution, but there seems to be no better solution at present, so he can only compromise.
night.
Li You hesitated for a long time while holding his cell phone, and finally plucked up the courage to make a call to Pei Jingzhou, who was far away in the capital.
Pei Jingzhou will come over tonight, but he hasn't boarded the plane yet. He has just finished a meeting at the company and is about to go home, change clothes and go to the airport.
On the way home, he received a call from Li You.
Put the phone to your ear, close your eyes, and speak softly: "The flight is at ten o'clock, don't wait for me tonight, go to bed early."
Li You felt more than once that just hearing Pei Jingzhou's voice would make her feel at ease. But thinking of what she was going to say next, she took a breath and kept a steady tone: "Pei Jingzhou."
Pei Jingzhou guessed that she had something to say and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Li You pursed his lips and said softly: "It's a very important thing."
Pei Jingzhou opened his eyes, and the hand holding the phone slowly tightened: "Say."
Li You didn't mince words and said directly: "Mom's situation is not very good. Dad's work at the embassy cannot be completely put down. I plan to postpone my graduation so that I can spend the next few months with my mother undergoing chemotherapy."
After a pause, she held her breath and continued softly: "I will accompany my mother to a new address, so you don't have to come to country T in the next few months."
Pei Jingzhou remained silent.
Li You was anxiously waiting for Pei Jingzhou's response. After waiting for a long time, Pei Jingzhou didn't speak. Her anxiety turned into panic: "...Pei Jingzhou?"
Pei Jingzhou responded: "Yeah."
She plucked up the courage and said, "Cancel your flight tonight."
There was silence on the other end of the phone again.
Li You knew that this arrangement was not appropriate, but it was the only way.
She shouted again, but this time Pei Jingzhou didn't answer her, so she continued to call his name, once, twice, three times...
This was probably the only time since the two met each other for so long that she called Pei Jingzhou many times, but he clearly heard her but did not respond to her.
She shouted, and her voice gradually started to sound like crying: "...I'm sorry."
