After they left the house, the driver, Uncle Zhang, was unwilling to take them to the hospital. An Xiaonuan disagreed no matter what, and the sudden coldness in her heart made her feel that the world was cold.
She ran with An's mother on her back and caught a taxi to the hospital.
After the doctor's examination, he issued a critical illness notice and refused to accept any more. An Xiaonuan knelt down in front of the doctor in a hurry. In just a few hours, she knelt down twice in a row, but it was for different people.
The doctor finally agreed to let them stay for a few days, one week only.
An Xiaonuan's hand gently caressed An's mother's unconscious face, twitching with distress.
Living in a small ward, the nurse gave An's mother a cardiotonic drug and a hemostatic injection.
An Xiaonuan sat beside the hospital bed and realized that she didn't take any money.
When she was about to go back, the driver, Uncle Zhang, walked in coldly, dragging two large boxes.
"Sir, he said that inside are clothes for you and your mother, and a sum of cash, which is used as burial expenses for your mother. You will no longer be a member of the An family, so you can take care of yourself."
An Xiaonuan heard the door being closed and opened the box. There was an envelope inside with five thousand yuan in cash.
Looking at the five thousand yuan, An Xiaonuan felt uncomfortable.
After staying for two days, An's mother woke up.
She could still speak clearly, but she rarely spoke and didn't mention anything about An Xiaonuan's biological father.
"Xiao Nuan, is it because you don't want to marry Jiao Yang because you have another boyfriend secretly?"
An Xiaonuan was peeling an apple. She squeezed her hand hard and cut her finger with the knife, causing it to bleed.
"Mom, why do you ask?"
An's mother continued, "Mom is someone who has been here before and knows very well what girls think. Jiaoyang is so good and you keep disagreeing. It's obvious that you have someone in your heart."
An Xiaonuan didn't know what to say, so she nodded bravely, "Yes, Mom, I didn't tell you that his family's financial situation is not very good."
An's mother sighed, "I didn't expect that you still put love first, but as long as you are willing, mom won't say anything. I just hope you will bring him to me to see. Mom can only feel relieved after seeing him in person."
An Xiaonuan looked at her hopeful eyes and agreed.
***
After leaving the hospital, she stood at the gate, not knowing where to go.
It’s such a big city, but there are no friends to look for.
Finally, she called Ma Chunchun's number.
Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, Ma Chunchun rushed over quickly.
Also coming with him was Ye Qi.
The fully armed Ye Qian came to An Xiaonuan's surprise.
"I didn't expect something like this to happen to your family."
Looking at him, An Xiaonuan suddenly made a bold move. She grabbed Ye Qiao's hand and said, "Please, can you do me a favor? I can't find anyone to help me."
Ye Qiao was shocked for a moment, asked why, and immediately agreed.
Wearing a mask, he went to the ward. On the contrary, An Xiaonuan and Ma Chunchun waited outside the ward for half an hour before seeing Ye Qi walk out with a solemn expression.
"What did my mother say to you?"
"You just want me to treat you well. I see, your mother's time is running out."
An Xiaonuan nodded, looking tired, "Thank you for helping me."
Ye Qian didn't take it seriously, "It doesn't matter, I have an announcement to make, so I'll leave first."
"Sister Xiaonuan, hold on, I'll come see you after get off work." Ma Chunchun looked worried.
An Xiaonuan turned around and saw Gu Changqing standing not far behind her, with tears in her eyes as she spoke frankly to him. She turned her head away, wondering how a busy man like him could come here in person.
