Chapter 337 Illness (1)
Su Yaya went to the hospital to visit Father Shen. He was sitting up against the hospital bed and he seemed to be in a good condition. He looked at Su Yaya with a smile, and asked gently, “Why are you here?”
Su Yaya walked over and said, “Dad, how do you feel?”
Father Shen smiled lightly and said: “I’m fine.” As he met with her questioning gaze, he seemed to be afraid that she wouldn’t believe him, and then continued: “Seriously, in fact, I already knew that I had cancer for quite some time, so it’s nothing too depressing, it is what it is, maybe it’s even good news.”
Su Yaya asked: “When did you discover that you were sick? Why didn’t you come back earlier?”
Father Shen smiled and said, “I was busy having fun outside. I was already sick anyway, I definitely had to have a good time before coming back. Why overthink it, right? Just live in the moment!”
Although he seemed carefree and relaxed, Su Yaya could tell that he wasn’t. When a person is sick, he’ll for sure feel bad and find it hard to face the truth. At that time, he didn’t come home, was probably because of this reason. Since he was going to die anyway, so just live life to its fullest.
Su Yaya could understand where he was coming from, and felt sorry for him, she said: “Don’t overthink it, we’ll get the best doctor to treat you, and you’ll for sure recover.”
Father Shen smiled and said: “I know my own body, whether it can be cured, wouldn’t I know? I have seen a doctor when I was abroad, they said that I don’t have much time left.”
Su Yaya felt sad when she heard Father Shen say this, and comforted him: “Don’t be so pessimistic. Miracles happen, maybe we can find a good doctor to cure you.”
Father Shen waved his hand and said, “Why suffer? Can cancer be cured so easily?”
“Dad……” Su Yaya wanted to continue on, and he quickly said: “Let’s not talk about this, let’s talk about something else.” As he said this, he looked behind her, but no one else came in, he said, “Is Xiu Qi okay?”
Su Yaya guessed what was on his mind and quickly said: “He’s doing well, he’s just busy at work. He is still in the office for a meeting today, that’s why he didn’t come to visit you.”
Father Shen smiled as if he didn’t care, and said, “You don’t need to comfort me, wouldn’t I know what’s going on? He’s mad at me and doesn’t want to see me. It’s no big deal, don’t take it to heart, I’m used to it.”
Su Yaya had no choice but to comfort him and said, “Dad, it’s actually not like this. Xiuqi is really worried about you. He’s just really busy, that’s why he’s not here.”
Father Shen smiled and said, “Yes, he’s all grown up now and is a leader. Now he’s in charge of such a large company, he’s not as free and relaxed as before. The burden and stress he carries, all the employees he has to feed!”
Su Yaya felt rather sad when she heard Father Su say this, so she changed the subject and said, “Dad, let me peel an apple for you.”
Father Shen smiled and nodded, “Okay, one apple then.”
Su Yaya took out an apple from the fruit basket next to her and peeled off the apple skin with a knife. The apple skin remained intact as it touched the ground.
Su Yaya handed the apple to Father Shen after she was done. Father Shen didn’t take it, instead he said: “I can’t eat so much of it. Cut the apple in half and just give me some.”
Su Yaya followed his instructions, she cut the apple into small pieces and gave them to Father Shen.
Father Shen only ate three or four pieces and was done, he then said that he was tired and asked Su Yaya to head back first.
“There are so many germs in the hospital. It’s not good for you to stay here for a long time. Go home and rest. I have nurses, doctors, and caretakers here for me. I’ll call them if anything happens. You don’t have to worry about me.” Father Shen said with a smile.
Su Yaya said, “Okay then, I’ll head back first, I’ll come visit you again tomorrow.”
Father Shen waved his hand and said, “No, you don’t need to come tomorrow. I’ll be here for two days and I’ll head back home by myself. You’re pregnant and should stay home and rest. Running back and forth like this will make me very worried. Just stay at home.”
Su Yaya had to think of another way and said: “Then I’ll ask my nanny at home to make some chicken soup for you.”
Father Shen smiled and said, “This is even more unnecessary. If I’m craving for anything, I’ll just let them head to the restaurant to get me what I want, it won’t be as troublesome.”
Su Yaya said: “Home cooked food is always better than that of a restaurant.”
Father Shen shook his head and said, “All the chefs in the restaurant here can cook even better than your nanny at home. Okay, okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. I don’t want to trouble you. Just go back. I’m a grown man. I have plenty of money to eat whatever I want. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Su Yaya nodded and said goodbye to Father Shen, “Then I’ll head back first, I’ll come visit soon.”
As if he was tired of her, Father Shen urged: “Hurry up, go home.” His gaze and his tone seemed as if he just wanted her to leave immediately.
