4549 The Other Side 518
Yun Shishi was devastated to hear this. No wonder he had lost so much weight. And it wasn’t lost over just a day or two. Had he been suffering like this for so many days, throwing up everything he ate?
Little Yichen looked at his mother and asked worriedly, “Mommy, did the doctor say that my condition is serious?”
The woman could only sigh. She didn’t know what to say.
Youyou, however, was extremely straightforward. “The doctor says that your condition is very serious. He even said that you went into shock once. If you hadn’t been rescued in time, you might have…”
Little Yichen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. “From the looks of it, my luck isn’t bad!”
The boy had a naturally optimistic outlook. Even when he heard that he had almost lost his life, he seemed indifferent.
Youyou was heartbroken.
Little Yichen suddenly asked, “By the way, Mommy, can I ask you for a favor?”
Yun Shishi looked at him, puzzled. “What is it? What do you want me to do for you?”
“If… I mean it’s just a ‘if’… If I end up like Duoduo, would you sign a donation agreement for me?”
The woman trembled uncontrollably when she heard this, and tears fell from her eyes.
Little Yichen immediately felt a little guilty. “I don’t mean to upset Mommy… It’s just that… the doctor says my condition doesn’t seem optimistic, so… I think if there’s really no other way, can I donate my body to the hospital like Duoduo…”
“Little Yichen, you have to give Mommy some confidence…” She continued sadly, “Don’t let Mommy’s thoughts go in that direction! I can promise you that, but don’t say such things again, okay?”
Both she and Mu Yazhe were open-minded people. They wouldn’t simply object to the donation of his remains based just because of some traditional ideas. However, this did not mean that Little Yichen could freely talk about such things.
Now she could only hope that the people around her would say things to help boost her confidence. Otherwise, she would not be able to hold on much longer. This was simply like a slow and torturous death. It was like losing a piece of herself every day. It was extremely tough.
The older boy was vexed by his mother’s words. “Mommy…”
Yun Shishi could not hold herself back and drew the boy tightly into her embrace.
“Little Yichen, it’s Mommy’s fault… I didn’t cherish you enough when I should have! Perhaps, it’s only when I’m about to lose you that I realize how much I owe you!”
Little Yichen was stunned for a moment before smiling. “Don’t say that, Mommy… Are you trying to make me cry…”
“You’re as important as Youyou. We can’t lose you. You probably don’t know that Yueyao has been missing you so much that she’s going crazy. She keeps talking about wanting to see you, but she’s so young. She can’t come into the quarantine zone. Can you bear to see her missing you so much? So, you have to get well soon, okay?”
Initially, Little Yichen could hold back his tears. However, when he heard Yueyao’s name, he suddenly lost control of his emotions. The sadness and uneasiness that he had kept in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
He bit his lip tightly and said hoarsely, “Mommy, I miss Yueyao too…”
Wiping away his tears, Yun Shishi said helplessly, “You and Youyou are such a pair of clowns. You always argue and seem to find it difficult to get along with each other. You should have seen him losing his temper at the doctor, demanding to see you!”
Little Yichen turned to look at Youyou, who quickly turned away, his cheeks flushed. “That’s not true! Don’t listen to Mommy’s nonsense.”
But how could Little Yichen not know the truth?
