Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 355

"What’s the reason for the divorce?" Yanchen asked.

“It was all because of a misunderstanding. I’m thankful for it because it made me know the real feelings he had for me.

“Do you still miss him?”

“I do, but I will control myself.”

Yanchen couldn’t help but tease her, “If you want to meet him, I can send someone to kidnap him.”

Tongrui knew he was trying to comfort her, “I don’t want to see him at all. I’m afraid that I can’t resist the urge to make up with him."

“If he goes after you, I will definitely stop him from afar.”

Tongrui looked at Yanchen, she did not expect him to be so good at spoiling his sister.

Yanchen raised his eyebrows, "Not believing it?"

Tongrui was glad to have the best brother in the world who supported her decisions unconditionally.

The next morning, Te Xi pretended to be asleep after Yanchen got up.

"Xi, get up and eat breakfast."

Ye Xi put the quilt over her head and muttered, "I want to sleep. I don’t feel like eating.”

"I will ask Aunt Yang to wake you by ten o’clock for breakfast then.”

As soon as Ye Xi heard this, she immediately asked, "Where are you going?"

She looked so happy knowing that I’m going out. She wanted me to leave so much?

"I'm taking Xiao to the hospital to visit mom."

"Okay.”

Yanchen pulled her up and hugged her after he dressed up, "You have just returned, be a good girl. Mom’s illness can’t be delayed anymore as Xiao is here now. I will be very busy soon. I won’t have much time for you, don’t let me worry about you.”

If it was for other girls, they would be swooning at him. However, Ye Xi knows him well. He was indirectly telling her, “Do not think of running away again. He had a thousand ways to stop her if he wanted.”

Ye Xi smiled at him, "Then you should hurry up. What trouble could I make?"

Yanchen pinched her cheek lovingly and left.

On the way to the hospital, Tongrui couldn't help but ask, "What illness does Ms. Gu have?"

"You'll know when you get there."

The ride to the hospital was very quiet.

When they arrived, Tongrui was very nervous and curious about her biological mother.

"Come on, I have told her in advance that I will bring you here today."

Tongrui nodded and followed Yanchen into the ward.

As soon as she entered the ward, Tongrui saw Ms. Gu on the hospital bed.

Her complexion didn’t look too good due to the illness, but Tongrui could tell that she was a gentle person.

Tongrui stood still while staring at her. Yuqing smiled and beckoned her over, "Come here, my child.”

Ms. Gu held Tongrui’s hand and looked at her with motherly love. There was also excitement and joy in her eyes that could not be hidden.

“Xiao, I miss you so much all these years. I almost went crazy when you were taken away by them. I’m sorry, Xiao. I couldn’t protect you back then and let the people with ill intentions harm you. I’m sorry.”

Ms. Gu was crying as she hugged Tongrui tightly. Tongrui knew that this was her mother's most sincere confession and apologies.

Tongrui comforted her, "I’m here now, Ms. Gu. Don’t be sad."

Ms. Gu smiled through her tears, "Yes, you're back to mommy now. Don’t worry, mommy will not let you suffer anymore.”

"Although I was taken away by the others, I met a very good foster father. He treated me very well like his own daughter. He never told me that I was adopted by him."

"Really? Can I meet him? I want to thank him in person."

"He… passed away three years ago."

"I'm sorry, Xiao. I didn't mean to make you sad."

Tongrui smiled and shook her head.

Ms. Gu kept staring at Tongrui with a loving gaze, "Xiao, I had searched for you for years with your brother. There were a few times that I thought we really lost you. Do you blame me for what happened?”

"Of course not, Ms. Gu. You didn’t abandon me purposely. Why should I blame you?"

Ms. Gu felt a little upset when she heard Tongrui addressing her as Ms. Gu, it felt too polite and estranged.

“Thank you for being so understanding. Xiao, I miss you so much. Let me take a closer look at you.”

“By the way, what happened to you, Ms. Gu? Why are you hospitalized?" asked Tongrui.

“I supposed Yanchen hasn’t told you yet. I… had a bad cold and it made me weak. Don’t worry, I’m fine. I can be discharged in a few days."

Tongrui felt that she was lying, but she didn’t ask much about it.

After Ms. Gu fell asleep, Yanchen and Tongrui left. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"When will Ms. Gu be discharged from the hospital?"

"Xiao, Mom has leukemia. She is afraid that you will be worried that’s why she lied to you. Mom told me to keep it from you but I know you will find out about it one day.”

"Leukemia? Did you find a match for the bone marrow?" Tongrui asked anxiously.

“The match percentage will be higher between immediate families but mine is not suitable.”

“Will mine be suitable then?” Tongrui asked.

“Are you willing to donate your bone marrow?”
