My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 513 - Five Hundred and Twenty-Three: Leukemia

Chapter 513: Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three: Leukemia

Everyone was waiting to see a good show, including Chu Feng. But the anticipated drama didn’t unfold because Leng Yixiu received a phone call and left in the middle.

Seeing Leng Yixiu’s hurried expression, everyone was curious about what could make the usually unflappable Leng Yixiu so tense. Even Shi Yi was curious for a moment, but then she reminded herself that it was Leng Yixiu’s business and had nothing to do with her, so why should she care?

In fact, the reason Leng Yixiu left halfway was due to an emergency. Just now, Sister Yi had called to inform him that Xiao Yi Xun had a high fever in the middle of the night, which wouldn’t go down.

When Leng Yixiu rushed back to the apartment, Cen Lin had already conducted a full-body check-up on Xiao Yi Xun. Seeing Leng Yixiu return, Cen Lin’s expression changed slightly. She removed the stethoscope and said solemnly to Leng Yixiu, "Let’s talk outside."

After coming out of Xiao Yi Xun’s bedroom, Cen Lin glanced deeply at the direction of the bedroom, her expression somewhat grave, "I’m not entirely sure yet, but based on my experience, it’s likely. You need to be mentally prepared."

Leng Yixiu initially thought Xiao Yi Xun’s fever was just a minor flu, but listening to Cen Lin’s tone, he realized it might not be that simple.

His eyes darkened slightly, and his lips pressed tightly together. After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly, "What illness does she have?"

"If my diagnosis is correct, it should be leukemia." Cen Lin had to tell the truth even though she knew it was cruel.

Leukemia?

Even before Cen Lin said it, Leng Yixiu had a bad premonition and had considered the worst outcome. But hearing the word "leukemia" was like a bolt of lightning, and he almost couldn’t stand.

Seeing this, Cen Lin felt a bit heartbroken and couldn’t help but comfort him, "Actually, my diagnosis isn’t always 100% accurate. There can be misdiagnoses too. Don’t worry yet. Let’s transfer Xiao Xun to Shengde Hospital. Maybe I was wrong."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yixiu nodded vigorously, as if clutching a lifeline, trying his best to hold on, "Yes, you’re right. Even the best doctors can misdiagnose. You must have made a mistake. Yes, it must be a mistake!"

Cen Lin looked at Leng Yixiu deeply, feeling a bit pained. She knew exactly how much Xiao Yi Xun meant to Leng Yixiu. If something happened to Xiao Yi Xun, she feared Leng Yixiu wouldn’t be able to handle it.

After so many years in medicine, this was the first time she hoped she had misdiagnosed, rather than...

However, the test results ruthlessly shattered all their hopes. Reality is always so cruel, leaving no room for luck.

When Leng Yixiu received the test results, he felt as if his world, which he had protected for years, had collapsed. He closed his eyes in pain and leaned powerlessly against the cold wall.

All of this was fully captured by Cen Lin’s eyes. She knew better than anyone what kind of person Leng Yixiu was. In her memory, no matter how big the problem was, he had never been like this, except five years ago.

She moved forward, wanting to comfort him, but found she couldn’t say a word. In such a situation, no words could be of any help.

After a long time, the man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes red, and asked, "What should I do next?"

"According to Xiao Yi Xun’s health report, the condition is still manageable. But we need to act quickly and find a matching bone marrow donor as soon as possible."

A matching bone marrow?

The man smiled bitterly, knowing how difficult it was to find a matching bone marrow. Even if found, it couldn’t guarantee the disease wouldn’t recur. This was a tough road ahead.

"Alright, I understand. I will arrange for the bone marrow search. Thank you for your hard work tonight. You should go rest now."

"You should rest too. Xiao Yi Xun still needs you. You can’t afford to break down first."

"I know." The man nodded.

Though Cen Lin agreed to go rest, she didn’t leave until Xiao Yi Xun’s fever completely subsided. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

When the man walked into the room, Xiao Yi Xun was throwing a tantrum. Leng Yixiu walked over and asked softly, "What’s wrong, my little darling? Why are you unhappy?"

Hugging her teddy bear, Xiao Yi Xun pouted and said, "I want to go home!"

Hearing this, Leng Yixiu felt a pang in his nose but smiled at the little one, "Oh, you want to go home. But your flu isn’t better yet; you can’t go home now."

Upon hearing she couldn’t go home yet, Xiao Yi Xun’s eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head, holding the teddy bear gloomily and not saying a word. After a long while, she mumbled, "What about Mommy?"

The man was stunned, not understanding Xiao Yi Xun’s meaning for a moment. Then he heard her repeat softly, "I’m here, Mommy can’t find me."

Leng Yixiu instantly understood. His daughter’s rush to go home was because she was afraid that if she stayed at the hospital, Shi Yi couldn’t find her. He felt a stab in his heart and gently patted Xiao Yi Xun’s head.

"Don’t worry, Mommy has been here. She can find you."

Xiao Yi Xun’s eyes lit up, and she eagerly asked, "Really?"

"When has Daddy ever lied to you?" Leng Yixiu gently tapped Xiao Yi Xun’s nose and smiled, "If you finish the food in your bowl, Mommy will come to see you tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xun, who had been reluctant to eat, instantly perked up, took the bowl and chopsticks from Sister Yi, and quickly finished a bowl of rice.

Sister Yi hurriedly advised, "Miss, eat slowly!"

Watching this scene, Leng Yixiu was filled with mixed emotions. He thought, no matter what, he had to protect his little angel and not let her get hurt even a bit.

...

For some reason, ever since Leng Yixiu received the phone call and left midway, Shi Yi had been feeling uneasy. She couldn’t explain why, but she felt something was about to happen.

This feeling persisted until the next noon. She was dealing with some work at Lei Man when she received a phone call midway. The call was from Leng Yixiu. Since she had previously blocked his number, hearing his familiar voice surprised her a bit.

"Oh, it’s Mr. Leng. What do you need?"

"Miss Shi, are you free tomorrow?"

"Sorry, I need to go out of town tomorrow and probably won’t have any free time." This time, Shi Yi wasn’t lying to Leng Yixiu; she genuinely had to go out of town.

"When are you leaving tomorrow?"

"At ten in the morning. Why?"

"I know you’re busy, Miss Shi, but could you spare an hour before you leave?"

Although Leng Yixiu’s tone was polite, Shi Yi still felt somewhat annoyed. She wasn’t close with him, so why should she spare an hour for him?
