CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56 WHAT HAPPENED?

She nodded and then asked the nurse who had brought him in, "How is his condition?"

"Miss Zhuang, I hope you can prepare the surgery costs as soon as possible. The bone marrow is being matched, and once the match is successful, surgery can be performed."

"Then, about how much will the surgery cost?"

"Chemotherapy along with various medications, plus the surgery fee and postoperative nutrition, prepare at least five hundred thousand."

Zhuang Shuqing was shocked, "Five... Okay, I got it, thank you!"

After arranging the bed for Xiaoxuan, she sat on the chair and began to space out. Five hundred thousand, what should she do?

The money she’d saved over the years from working and studying was only a little over one hundred thousand, still short by several hundred thousand, and she didn’t know where to find the rest.

"Shuqing Mom, why hasn’t Dad Lu come?"

Xiaoxuan’s eyes were filled with expectation, and for a moment Zhuang Shuqing actually wanted to lie to him, to tell him that Dad would be coming over soon.

But thinking of the consequences...

"Dad Lu is at work, he’ll come to see you with some good food once he’s off."

"Really?"

"Of course, when has Shuqing Mom ever lied to you?" She gently rubbed his forehead, "Xiaoxuan, you have to get better quickly, and once you’re well, Mom and Dad will take you to the amusement park and play..."

Ding-dong ding-dong~

The phone rang, it was a message.

Upon opening it, she saw that it was the compensation from Xinghai Studio, but it was only fifty thousand. With this, Xiaoxuan’s surgery fees were still short by over three hundred thousand.

Her just relaxed eyebrows knitted together again, and she looked at Xiaoxuan troubled.

"Shuqing Mom~ Shuqing Mom~"

"Hmm? What’s up?"

"Your phone rang again."

Zhuang Shuqing saw it was a call from Lu Jinyang as she got closer; she smiled at Xiaoxuan and said, "Dad Lu is calling you, you take the phone."

"Okay."

Xiaoxuan carefully pressed the answer button and called out in a milky voice, "Dad Lu~"

Lu Jinyang on the other end of the phone paused slightly, then hummed softly, "Were you good today?"

"Hmm, Xiaoxuan just finished chemotherapy, but I didn’t cry~"

"Very good~"

"Dad Lu, Shuqing Mom said when you’re off work, you will come visit me, is that true?"

Lu Jinyang’s hand holding the phone trembled, "Of course."

"Okay, then I’ll wait for you to come back." After speaking, he handed the phone to Zhuang Shuqing, signaling her to take the call.

Picking up the phone, Zhuang Shuqing said "hello," and the person on the other end immediately asked, "What happened?"

Her heart trembled; with just one word, he could tell that something was off with her.

After a thought, she said a word to Xiaoxuan and went out into the hallway to talk on the phone.

"The doctor just said Xiaoxuan’s condition is not good, but he can have the surgery as soon as a matching bone marrow is found. But..."

"Then do it, the surgery costs are not a problem."

She opened her mouth in surprise, "You already know?"

Lu Jinyang rarely rolled his eyes on the other end of the phone, "Common sense."

Zhuang Shuqing turned red and heard him say, "Just let them match the bone marrow."

"But five hundred thousand..."

"Mrs. Lu!"

She paused, and even through the phone could feel his displeasure.

Right, the primary heir to Kairun Empire Group was her lawful husband, and money was never an issue for him. Although this identity was only temporary, she always felt a sense of guilt when using his money with this identity.

After a long while, she finally slowly answered, "Okay."

The following minute was mostly Lu Jinyang asking questions and her answering.

Finally getting off the phone, Zhuang Shuqing took a deep breath and walked back to the hospital room.
