Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Lady Wen’s Delusion Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Lady Wen’s Delusion Lady Wen also held her hand, nodding gratefully, “Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Ye Chuyi smiled at her, “It’s no trouble, it will be quick. Have you eaten anything today?”
“No, I’ve been feeling nauseous and suffering from headaches all day; I couldn’t eat anything.”
“Okay, good.”
Since she hadn’t eaten, she could go for surgery right away.
With Ye Chuyi leading her, Lady Wen quickly completed her examination, and Ye Chuyi, looking at her films, had a very serious expression.
The tumor in Lady Wen’s cranial cavity had grown very large, occupying most of the space and was severely compressing her brain and nerves.
But, by all accounts, she had already undergone one surgery; the tumor shouldn’t have grown this large.
Unless, in the past two years, Lady Wen’s emotional state had been very poor, which had led to the unusually rapid growth of the tumor.
Was Lady Wen’s life not going well?
Wasn’t her husband always very loving toward her?
Wasn’t Wen Nianyou also always so good at sweet-talking, especially good at pampering her?
Could it all be a facade?
A wave of sorrow filled Ye Chuyi’s heart; it turned out that the gentle and kind Lady Wen’s life was not as comfortable as she had imagined—the rapid expansion of the tumor already told everything.
Seeing her serious expression, Lady Wen spoke softly, “Xiaoyi, are you still competent at reading films? Is my condition very severe? Do I need to prepare a will?”
Even facing death, she remained calm and gentle without crying or collapsing emotionally.
Ye Chuyi couldn’t understand how someone as kind-hearted and strong-willed as Lady Wen could have given birth to a child like Wen Nianyou.
“Madam, you don’t need to write a will; the situation is indeed serious, but there’s still time for surgery.”
“Really? Are you just comforting me?”
“Of course, it’s true.”
Ye Chuyi took a tissue and gently wiped the sweat off Lady Wen’s forehead. This sweat was not from heat; it was from pain.
The tumor was pressing on her brain; she was enduring pain that most people couldn’t even imagine.
Lady Wen hadn’t expected her to wipe off her sweat; Chuyi was more thoughtful than her own daughter, giving Lady Wen, who was admitted to the hospital alone, the illusion that Chuyi was her daughter.
She suddenly remembered, years ago, a servant had said that Chuyi bore a striking resemblance to her. But at the time, Lin Yueqin had harshly scolded that servant, who had then knelt down and begged her forgiveness for the offense, apologizing to her.
Afterwards, that servant was dismissed by Lin Yueqin.
Since then, no one had mentioned any such thing again.
Indeed, upon closer look, Chuyi’s facial features did resemble hers somewhat.
Over the years, she indeed treated Chuyi like a daughter, but Lin Yueqin, on ordinary days, wouldn’t allow Chuyi to come to their house, reducing the number of times she could see Chuyi.
She thought Chuyi didn’t want to get close to her, but now it seemed she was wrong.
This child was indeed very willing to get close to her!
Lady Wen raised her hand and touched Chuyi’s delicate and beautiful face, “Xiaoyi, you haven’t told me yet, how do you still know how to read films?”
Ye Chuyi smiled at her, “What do you think is the reason, Madam?”
“I think you might be hiding a little secret. You were very clever since you were a child, and you learned everything quickly. I still remember when you were in the first grade, you ranked first!”
“I did rank first once, but after that, my mom didn’t let me go to school anymore. Thanks to you, who insisted that my mom let me continue my education. But after that, I never ranked first again!”
Lady Wen had also heard Lin Yueqin say that Chuyi never paid attention in class and her test scores were always far behind Nianyou’s.
Back then, she thought it was just a child’s playfulness, but now, hearing Chuyi’s tone, it seemed it wasn’t what she had thought?
“Madam, it’s almost time, you should enter the operating room now.”
“So soon? I feel a bit nervous.”
“Madam, your surgery will be very successful; do you trust me?”
Lady Wen, looking into her resolute eyes, nodded, “I trust you.”
Ye Chuyi smiled, “Good, I’ll accompany you to the operating room.”
