Depressed wife runs with the ball

Chu Yue hadn't slept well all night. She arrived at the hospital's inpatient building early that morning and waited until 8:30 a.m. before daring to call Teacher Yang's daughter. Only after getting her permission did she go upstairs. Teacher Yang had lost a lot of weight, and all her hair had fallen out. She had specifically checked out her chemotherapy symptoms the previous night, and when she saw him in person, her heart ached. She held Teacher Yang's hand for a long, speechless moment.

"You've been staying here with the teacher's daughter for a whole night. Why don't you go back and rest? Is there anyone to take care of the child?" Chu Yue asked cautiously, fearing that any word would touch the fragile nerves of the teacher's daughter.

"I've sent my husband to school. My mom was still talking to me about you last night, saying it was a pity for you."

When he was in college, Chu Yue met his teacher's daughter twice. At that time, she was a girl who pursued fashion, loved beauty and loved dressing up. But now she looks haggard and distressing.

Chu Yue lowered her head, hugged the teacher and said softly, "I'm sorry, teacher, I let you down." Her nose felt sore.

"Silly child, there's nothing to feel sorry about." Teacher Yang touched her head and opened his eyes to look at her.

"Mom, I'll go buy you breakfast."

Teacher Yang nodded. Chu Yue's eyes were red, but she didn't dare to cry. She just complained, "Why are you so thin? Are you not eating well? What did the doctor say?"

"Go and shake the bed so I can rinse my mouth and wash my face. It's not that serious. I was fine the last time I went to Qiancheng, wasn't I?"

The teacher's voice was hoarse, so Chu Yue shook the bed, found her a toothbrush and water, took a towel to the bathroom, wet it, wrung it until it was half dry, and helped her wipe her face.

"Has Sister Yu En been guarding for several days? She looks a little haggard. Let me take care of her for the next few days."

Chu Yue shook the thermos on the bedside table, poured her half a cup of water, then took the water she spit into the mouthwash cup and poured it away.

"It's not that serious. I don't need anyone to accompany me or take care of me. I'm not that old yet." The teacher thought they were making a fuss out of nothing. The doctor said that he would be almost well after this operation and could be discharged from the hospital.

"I'll get you some water. Don't move. Sister Yu En will be back with breakfast for you soon. Just lie down obediently." Chu Yue took the thermos and gave everything he needed before leaving the ward.

She leaned against the hospital corridor, her head bowed in thought, sobbing, not daring to make a sound. When Yu En returned with breakfast, she was gone.

After Chu Yue got the water, he went to the cashier's window to ask the teacher if there was any money left in his account and whether he could deposit some.

The person at the cashier's counter gave her an account with an expressionless face, and she transferred 50,000 yuan into it.

The teacher hadn't eaten much in the morning and was starting to feel sleepy. Chu Yue was staying at the hospital, so Yu En took advantage of this break to go home and check on her.

At noon, Yu En brought lunch over. The teacher had just finished chemotherapy yesterday and had no appetite today, only taking a few bites. Seeing the teacher fall asleep, Chu Yue pulled Yu En out to the corridor to talk.

"What did the doctor say? Have you been to other hospitals? Will there be better treatment options if I consult other experts?" Chu Yue was a little anxious, always feeling that the situation was not as bad as he thought.

"It's not that serious. The experts said that if you cooperate with the treatment and keep a calm mind, you may be able to recover. The school leaders have also informed the hospital, and some students have come to see me before. My mother always says that we can't cause trouble for everyone, so we don't really want to let everyone know." Yu En had been guarding for several days and was exhausted. There was no light in his eyes, and his answer was a bit mechanical.

Chu Yue took out a bank card and said, "I know I can't help much, so you keep this money and don't let the teacher know. Listen to me first, whether it's the teacher's treatment or you taking care of her, it will cost money, time and energy to take care of her. You should keep it for now, just in case. When the teacher is cured, if you don't use this money or if there is any left, you can return it to me."

Yu En refused to accept the money, and the two of them started arguing in the corridor. Chu Yue had no choice but to lower her head and said aggrievedly, "Teacher was sick and refused to tell me. Now I give you money, but you won't accept it. How can I go to see the teacher in a hundred years?"

"My teacher has high hopes for me, but I haven't achieved anything. I can't put my knowledge into practice. I'm really an unfilial son."

Hearing her blaming herself like this, Yu En had no choice but to accept the card first and said, "If you don't need it, you can't refuse it when I return it to you."

Chu Yue nodded desperately, sniffed, and held back her tears. Seeing her like this, Yu En felt relieved that someone finally understood and comforted her after such a long period of hard work. He put his arm around her shoulders and said as they walked, "My mother always talked about you to me. She really liked you in the past."

"She said that when you were in college, the person you disliked the most was me. Whenever she mentioned me, you would quarrel with her."

"Rebellious period. And if your mother always praises other people's children in front of you, wouldn't you be annoyed?"

"My mother never praised other people's children to me, and she never praised me either. She just thought I was wasting her family's money." The two sat in the hospital corridor and talked about the past. Later, Chu Yue asked Yu En to go home and rest, and she stayed here to take care of him.

In the afternoon, while Chu Yue was napping beside her teacher's bed, Zhou Xingzhi landed and headed straight for the hospital. When he entered the ward, the patient in the other bed was still groaning, and the attendant was busy packing up, making a lot of noise. The teacher's bed was only covered with a curtain, and the sunlight through the window was glaring.

Before he could lift the curtain, the attendant in the ward shouted, "Hey, who are you? I'm sleeping."

Zhou Xingzhi was speechless. Knowing someone was sleeping, she could still yell so loudly. For a moment, he didn't know whether to say she was well-mannered or not. Chu Yue was woken up. She first looked at the teacher, then shook the thermos on the bedside table. She took the kettle and prepared to fetch water. When she opened the curtain, she saw Zhou Xingzhi's tall figure standing in this small ward.

"Why are you here?" She looked around, seeing he was alone. She grabbed the water bottle and pulled him out of the ward. "I was worried about you crying so hard last night, so I flew here from Singapore early this morning." Zhou Xingzhi took the thermos from her and touched the sleep marks on her forehead from her nap on her sleeve.

"It's not that serious. I've talked to the teacher's daughter. The school has informed the hospital and the experts have also held a consultation. He can be discharged the day after tomorrow after chemotherapy. I'll stay here for two days, okay?" Chu Yue only asked him for two days of leave. He hasn't asked for leave for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow yet.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Zhou Xingzhi was worried about her being alone in Beijing. He was worried about her safety and that she couldn't take care of herself. "No, don't you still have work to do? Haven't you finished your work in Singapore?"

"I'm worried about you." Zhou Xingzhi opened the thermos and started to fill it with water.

"I'm not a child. I don't need you to follow me around all the time. Besides, so many people in the company are counting on you as the president to make decisions. If Mr. Zhou knew that you abandoned the company's affairs because of me, he would be even more unhappy. You, go back and be the president well. I will stay here with the teacher for two days and then go back." Chu Yue found that it seemed that he could not change his clingy habit.

Zhou Xingzhi pondered, then turned off the valve after the water was full and agreed, "I just got off the plane, and I can't fly to Qiancheng again without stopping. I'll stay here with you until tomorrow, and then I'll go back tomorrow."

Chu Yue thought about it and realized that she was just getting off the plane and still looked exhausted, but she was just trying to get rid of him. Even a donkey needs to rest.

"Okay. Where's your luggage?"

"Nurses' station."

"Yu En will be here later. I'll take you back to the hotel." After filling up the water bottle, they returned to the ward. "Who is Yu En?" He wanted to ask about her gender, but then he swallowed the words back, thinking she would be upset.

"Sister Yu En, she's the teacher's daughter. She's been here for several days and is exhausted. I asked her to go back and rest."

Hearing her say this, he felt a little relieved.

"Do we need to move the teacher to another ward? I asked Uncle Xin. He knows a few leading oncologists in Beijing. Should we ask them to take another look?"

"No, the teacher didn't want to make things too complicated. Besides, the school asked for her opinion before, but she didn't agree, so she stayed in a regular ward."

Back in the ward, Chu Yue poured water into the cup.
