Loving The Rival

[M] CHAPTER 160: Heartless Bastard

Around 10 o'clock in the evening, Mrs. Wu's diagnosis came out.

"The situation is not very optimistic." The attending doctor said, "our initial diagnosis is pancreatic cancer caused by diabetes, grandma is also old, surgery is not recommended."

Hearing of the news, Chi Cheng's heart throbbed badly.

"Is there any alternative?" Chi Cheng said, "the medical expenses are not an issue, as long as it can prolong her life and reduce her suffering. "

The attending doctor said honestly, "compare to other malignant tumors, this cancer will only show little effectiveness even with a treatment, the effect of chemotherapy is also not obvious. As I had mentioned before, grandma is more than 70 years old, chemotherapy may increase the burden on her heart, and it will be pointless instead. Lightened her pain and improve the quality of her life are the main objectives, since there is not much time left."

Chi Cheng asked with a hoarse voice: "according to this kind of treatment, how much longer does she have?"

"It should be less than half a year." On his way home, there were only two words left in Chi Cheng's mind...six months.

In these six months, these two words would be meaningless, after six months, his [1] bǎo would be done for. His father already died, his mother is also about to die, both of his elder sisters have already married, and he would be completely alone. In this world, the feeling of belonging and safety from a family couldn't be replaced by any feelings. He didn't dare to imagine Wu Suowei's [2] lonely figure when he was wearing the [3] hemp mourning clothes. When Chi Cheng returned home, it had already passed midnight.

[T/N: [1] short form of baobei/dabao. CC was talking in a crude way like usual without any malintent [2] literal translation of idiom used would be 'orphaned and helpless' [3] closed relative wear white hemp clothes for mourning.]

Wu Suowei was still awake, he was hunching around a table to blow a sugar figure, and Xiao Cu Bao was placed around his neck. He couldn't read any documents, he has no interest in playing with the computer, Wu Suowei could only make sugar figure as a way to kill time, because he has a tremendous goal in his mind and while he was in the process of completing it, the time had unknowingly passed by.

Wu Suowei's wrist watch showed that it was already passed one o'clock, it was an hour faster than the wall clock. This was the first time Chi Cheng left him alone and came home late even when Wu Suowei had secretly adjusted the time.

"Where did you went?" Wu Suowei asked.

Chi Cheng pulled both Dabao and Erbao into his arms and gently said, "I went out to accompany my leader."

Wu Suowei glared at him, "your unit's 'leader' is really hard to please."

"Of course, if she says one then I won't dare to say two, she wanted me to accompany her, so I can only follow her." Wu Suowei felt like he was drowned in bitterness, and he was completely engulfed in jealousy. "I am going back to the company." He furiously walked to the door.

He was once again pulled into Chi Cheng's strong arms when he had just taken a few steps, the hold was very firm and he couldn't even break free from it, Chi Cheng's action was unyielding, but his tone was gentle, and he was unusually gentle. "I won't let you wait this long in the future." Chi Cheng was someone who would do whatever he wanted without paying any heed on other people's opinion, this assurance really signified his deep emotional feeling. In Wu Suowei's ears, this was just some kind of a cover up. Damn it, you also have a guilty conscience, and you also have a day when you need to coax someone!
