The car stopped at the hospital entrance to drop off Yun Shishi first; Mu Yazhe quickly followed along after he had parked the car. She ran all the way to the Inpatient Department.
The moment she entered the department, she took out her phone to call Lin Hanlin, only to realize that it had run out of battery!
In a moment of carelessness, she had forgotten to bring along that slip of paper where she had written the room number. It would be difficult to locate Youyou’s room in such a big hospital. Biting her lower lip in frustration, she knew she had to ask for help at the hospital’s information desk.
Someone called out to her before she could reach the desk, though.
“Shishi, you are here, too?!”
She turned around and was astounded to see Li Qin standing behind her with a look of surprise. Her face was rather stiff and strange-looking.
Why is she here?
Puzzled, she asked, “Why are you here?”
“The child is hospitalized. I just arrived as well. Have you been told of what happened, too?”
For some strange reason, her adoptive mother was courteous and smiling gently at her. This was unlike the past Li Qin who would greet her with sarcasm and disdain. Her 180-degree turn in attitude made her uncomfortable.
The child was hurt?
Youyou?
Did… Principal Li contact my father first, so they could come over to pay the hospital fee?
That should be it! After Principal Li brought Youyou to the hospital when he collapsed, he probably contacted my father once he failed to reach me. She remembered that she had listed Yun Yecheng’s number as one of the emergency contacts.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise. I can’t expect the principal to foot the bill first since he is not related to us in any way. I should just be grateful that he promptly rushed my son to the hospital when he collapsed!
Principal Li probably contacted my father, and once he knew of Youyou’s hospitalization, he rushed over here to pay the hospitalization fee.
Nonetheless, her adoptive mother’s attitude was a little worrying. This woman would never fail to scorn her son in the past, yet now…
“Did you just reach, too?” she asked.
“Er, your father was here a while ago, but he went off to pay the hospital charges. We don’t have much money with us, but the child needs the money for treatment, so we are paying with whatever we have now. We’ve to think of a way to cover the deficiency!”
Her face grew worried as she spoke.
Yun Yecheng and she had hollowed all that they had, along with the savings in the bank, which only came up to 10,000 yuan.
Although someone had already paid Yun Na’s medical bill earlier, the doctor told them that the payment would be insufficient to cover further treatment. That would require another 20,000 yuan.
Where could they find the money, though? The financial situation at home had always been tight.
Yun Yecheng was furious when he found out that she had forced Yun Shishi into surrogacy and threatened to divorce her!
Divorce? How? What would happen to her if they divorce? What would happen to Yun Na…
She was horrified at the thought of divorce.
Divorce? How was that possible?
Although in her eyes, he was down and out now and was just another poor man, who could not give her any money or riches, still, what would happen to her if they got a divorce?
She was used to a good life where she needed not to fret over her basic needs. Even when the Yun family fell into tough times, she did not have to lift a finger to do the household chores when Yun Yecheng and Yun Shishi would bear the brunt.
If they really needed to divorce, this was not the right time yet!
