After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Lu Shiyi picked up her phone.

It was Lu's mother calling.

As soon as the call connected, Lu's mother's voice, choked with sobs, came through the phone, "Eleventh, Old Lu, he..."

"Mom, don't worry, what's wrong with Dad?" Lu Shiyi tried her best to comfort him, but she had a bad feeling in her heart.

"He...he's in the hospital right now, being treated..."

Lu Shiyi's head buzzed, and he froze on the spot. "Rescue? Why are they resuscitating us??"

But she quickly realized what was happening and forced herself to calm down. "Mom, which hospital is Dad in right now?"

"The county hospital, but the doctor advised me to go to the city hospital immediately, saying they couldn't treat me..." Lu's mother's voice was almost breaking down.

"Mom, tell them to take Dad to the city hospital right away. I'm coming over now."

Fu Cheng, who was standing nearby, overheard the conversation and immediately said, "Quickly take Dad to the city's central hospital; Great-Grandpa is there."

Lu Shiyi turned to look at Fu Cheng, then relayed her husband's words to her mother.

Her great-grandfather was a nationally renowned neurosurgeon, and she didn't understand why her husband insisted on sending Lu's father to his great-grandfather's.

But she doesn't have time to think about that now.

The city's central hospital is a well-known top-tier hospital in the southern part of the city, so sending someone there would indeed be the safest option.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shiyi grabbed her coat and rushed downstairs, saying as she went, "My dad is in critical condition, I have to get back to the city right away."

Fu Cheng also picked up his coat and followed him downstairs, saying, "I'll go with you."

At this moment, whether it's a confession or a frank confession, it all becomes a trivial matter.

The couple came downstairs one after the other, their steps hurried and their expressions solemn.

Downstairs, Grandpa Fu and Fu Chen were discussing the situation upstairs when Lu Shiyi came stomping down the stairs, his face pale and almost bloodless.

Grandpa Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly went over.

Then he saw his eldest grandson come downstairs, his face also looking unwell.

Sure enough, his eldest grandson is incredibly clumsy with words. Judging from the current situation, it's probably not the worst possible outcome.

Her granddaughter-in-law wants to...

The old man was secretly grumbling about his eldest grandson when he heard Lu Shiyi say, "Grandpa, my dad is in critical condition, I need to get back to the city immediately."

At first, the old man didn't react, but after the words "rescue" were repeated, he realized what it meant. "Rescue?"

He quickly grabbed Fu Cheng, who was following him downstairs, and asked, "What happened?"

“My father-in-law is being transferred from the county hospital to the city center hospital. Eleven and I need to get there right away.”

After saying that, Fu Cheng added, "Grandpa, Eleven and I will go over first. Don't worry, we'll let you know as soon as anything happens."

After the young couple left, Grandpa Fu immediately called Fu Chen to start packing their things.

After this incident, how could they possibly continue to stay here and enjoy themselves?

In the middle of the call, the old man made a few more phone calls. After all, it was New Year's Day and it was evening, so the hospital might not have enough staff.

Fu Cheng is doing the same thing.

On the road.

Fu Cheng dialed a phone while driving.

It was a call to my great-grandfather.

Grandpa is definitely not at the hospital at this time; he needs to let me know in advance.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shiyi, who was in the passenger seat, asked him, "Does my dad have a brain tumor?"

She had overheard her husband's phone call earlier; Fu Cheng had said, "Grandpa, could you please go to the Central Hospital around nine o'clock? The brain tumor patient you helped take care of has had a sudden emergency and is being taken to the Central Hospital..."

After calming down, Lu Shiyi finally asked the question he had just asked.

She had no idea that her father had a brain tumor.

She had just returned to her hometown last weekend, but she still didn't notice or discover anything.

The key point is that Fu Cheng knew all this, and even asked his great-grandfather to help him see a doctor.

But why didn't she know any of this?

At this moment, Lu Shiyi felt extremely distressed, not with resentment, but with deep self-blame...

She knew her parents well; they must have deliberately kept it from her.

But Fu Cheng knew.

This can only mean that Fu Cheng had noticed it beforehand.

But why didn't she notice anything at all?

"Hmm." Fu Cheng didn't offer any further explanation.

"Is it serious?" Lu Shiyi asked.

The kind that is incurable?

She didn't dare ask that question aloud.

Her parents wouldn't have kept this from her unless it was so serious that there was no cure.

When she was little, her family lived in a thatched house on the edge of the village. When they didn't know where their next meal would come from, her father would often tell her, "As long as you're alive, there's hope! No matter what happens, the family should always be together."

She was young then and didn't quite understand. Later, as she grew up, she finally grasped the deeper meaning of her father's words.

Only then did I understand how difficult those days were for my parents.

Fortunately, we made it through.

Therefore, if they hadn't lost all hope, they wouldn't have let Fu Cheng keep it from her.

They were afraid she would do useless work and cause unnecessary trouble.

After a moment of silence, Fu Cheng replied, "Yes, even a neurosurgeon like my great-grandfather can only delay the onset of the disease; there is no cure for now."

Although he was mentally prepared, Lu Shiyi still found it hard to accept these words.

She quickly turned her head away and looked out the car window...

The car was eerily quiet for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Shiyi turned around again and looked straight ahead.

"So, when you said you had something to tell me, was this what you meant?"

Fu Chengjing stared ahead, his mouth slightly opening several times, but he silently closed it each time.

He really didn't know how to start the conversation.

If he continues the previous topic at this point, it will undoubtedly be a double blow, which his wife will not be able to withstand.

Fu Cheng's silence was taken as tacit agreement by Lu Shiyi.

"Don't worry, I don't blame you. I know that this was probably my dad's request for you to do. I know him very well. He's not a very talkative person, but he kept praising you in front of me, saying all the good things about you and telling me to take good care of you and be understanding of you. Only now do I fully understand that you must have silently sacrificed a lot behind this."

“As your daughter, I’ve done far less than you, so I have no right to complain about you…”

Fu Cheng replied softly, "It's what I should do."

He thought that upon hearing about her father's illness and learning of his concealment, she would lose control of her emotions and blame and complain about him, but she did not.

In fact, her rationality is heartbreaking.

Even though her eyes were already red, she didn't take the opportunity to vent any of her emotions on him.

Lu Shiyi kept looking ahead as the car sped along the deserted road.

Night fell, and the sky grew darker and darker until it was completely black.

During the journey, she called Lu's mother several times to check on her father's condition.

Upon learning that her father had fallen into a deep coma and was completely unconscious, Lu Shiyi was extremely anxious...
