Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life

Chapter 1054 - 1043: The Unkind Stepmother

"Doctor, how is it?"

"Based on the test results, it’s early-stage stomach cancer."

"Stomach cancer?" Mrs. Liu turned pale with fright.

"Mrs. Liu, don’t worry. The doctor said it’s early-stage; early-stage can be cured." Ye Qiu quickly supported her and comforted her.

The doctor hurriedly explained as well, "Ma’am, you don’t need to worry at all. This cancer was detected early, and it’s generally curable."

"But how come I didn’t feel anything usually!"

"If you had really felt something, then it would genuinely be too late. Luckily, you came for a checkup today. It’s early-stage, not too serious. As long as you have surgery in time and pay attention to your diet and rest afterwards, you can recover."

"Mrs. Liu, did you hear what the doctor said? As long as we have surgery in time, you’ll definitely be fine."

"Really, just surgery will make it better?" Mrs. Liu was still a bit worried.

"Of course, but if you don’t pay attention to your diet and rest in the future, I can’t guarantee anything," the doctor said with a comforting smile.

"That’s good to know. I’ll definitely be more careful in the future. When can the surgery be done?"

"I checked your physical examination results; everything looks good. If you’re ready, you can be admitted anytime to prepare for surgery."

"Then let’s do it soon. Doctor, please arrange a decent ward for her." Ye Qiu felt a bit relieved; luckily, it was early-stage, and she was here in time.

Not long after, Sister Ye and Second Brother Ye found out about Mrs. Liu’s hospitalization for surgery and rushed over to see her.

"Luckily, it’s early-stage. As long as we treat it properly, it’ll be fine." Sister Ye, Ye Tan, thoughtfully poured a cup of warm water for Mrs. Liu.

Second Brother Ye chimed in, "Mrs. Liu, just focus on getting better. This is my hospital; don’t worry about the expenses."

Hearing this, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but retort, "Mrs. Liu is my caretaker. Do you really think I can’t cover the medical bills?"

"You!" Second Brother Ye’s face darkened at her backtalk, looking ready to reprimand her again.

"Alright, you two, calm down," Fan Ning intervened just in time. "As long as Mrs. Liu gets better, it doesn’t matter who pays, right, Mrs. Liu?"

"Right, right, we’re all family. Why be so distant?" Mrs. Liu chuckled, showing no signs of being tormented by illness.

"Hmph! It’s because you all indulge her, that’s why she’s so thoughtless," Second Brother Ye muttered.

Ye Qiu glared at him, "You’re the thoughtless one."

"Who are you talking to?"

"So it’s okay for you to talk back to me, but I can’t respond?"

"What’s with all the arguing!" Ye Tan got annoyed. "This is a hospital room. If you want to argue, take it outside."

"Hmph!" Ye Qiu snorted through her nose, refusing to look at her second brother for the rest of the day. As a result, Second Brother Ye had a sour face all day long.

Ye Qiu returned home late, but Fang Bingwen surprisingly didn’t ask where she’d been all day. He just asked, "Have you had dinner?"

Ye Qiu frowned, "You’re not even curious why I came back so late, or where I went?"

Fang Bingwen gave a natural smile, "You have a lot of friends and social engagements; it’s normal. I’ve left some food for you. Do you want to eat a bit more?"

Ye Qiu couldn’t help but feel a bit sarcastic. She’s his wife now, and coming home this late, he’s neither worried nor concerned about where she went. Isn’t he afraid she’ll cheat on him?

Ultimately, not loving is just not loving; that’s why there’s such indifference and even the concern is so insincere.

"I went to the hospital with Mrs. Liu today."

Hearing the word ’hospital,’ Fang Bingwen felt a pang in his heart and probed, "Why the sudden hospital visit? Is there any discomfort with your health?"

Maybe he’s worried she went to check her own health. She remembered he had a vasectomy before they got married, so if he didn’t want to have a child with her, why didn’t he make it clear? Why not explain when Ye Qiu blamed herself for health reasons later?

Everyone said Fang Bingwen married her for her money and to escape her entanglement and potential revenge. His colleagues, friends, and students made her out to be worthless. But what did he do at that time?

If only he had defended her a little, if only he had explained a bit more in the past life, people wouldn’t have unanimously blamed her for Fang Bingwen wanting a divorce.

Perhaps when Fang Bingwen first got together with her, he didn’t care about her money, but he absolutely cared about his reputation. The worse her reputation, the more it highlighted his nobility and dignity, right?

"It’s Mrs. Liu." If he loves acting, she’ll play along with him to the end.

Fang Bingwen knew about Mrs. Liu and her importance to Ye Qiu, so he asked with concern, "What’s wrong with Mrs. Liu?"

"Today, I took her for a check-up when we had nothing else going on, and the results showed stomach cancer."

"Stomach cancer?" This genuinely caught him by surprise, and his voice grew louder. "Will surgery and chemotherapy be needed? I know a good doctor; shall we take Mrs. Liu to see him?"

"No need. Mrs. Liu is already admitted in my brother’s hospital for surgery preparation, and it’s early-stage stomach cancer. The doctor said there’s a 90% chance of a cure, so you don’t need to worry."

"It’s early-stage, that’s good." Fang Bingwen breathed a sigh of relief. "I overthought it. I forgot your second brother owns a hospital. He will surely take good care of Mrs. Liu."

"Honey, can I discuss something with you?" Ye Qiu’s tone was almost cautious.

Linking it to Mrs. Liu’s illness, Fang Bingwen knew almost instantly what she was about to say. He comforted her, "You want to move back to take care of Mrs. Liu, right? Mrs. Liu raised you single-handedly; it’s understandable you want to personally look after her."

Ye Qiu exclaimed happily, "You agree?"

"You can move back to take care of Mrs. Liu for a while. Your villa is quite far from my school and Xiao Xu’s kindergarten. We won’t move."

Ye Qiu sulkily pouted, "But we just got married, what would it look like if we were living apart?"

"Why don’t you bring Mrs. Liu here? Xiao Xu and I can share a room, and the master bedroom will be for you and Mrs. Liu." Fang Bingwen suggested again.

But Ye Qiu also rejected this idea, "This house is so small, Mrs. Liu is older, she won’t be comfortable living here. How could I take good care of Mrs. Liu alone? We’ll definitely need to hire a nurse."

Upon hearing this, Fang Bingwen sighed, "Then there’s nothing I can do."

"Honey, why don’t you move with me? I’ll have the driver take you to school; it won’t tire you out. And as for Xiao Xu, the kindergarten near my villa has better educational facilities than the one he’s attending now. Why not transfer him there?" Ye Qiu sincerely suggested, but she knew Fang Bingwen wouldn’t agree at this point.
