His Beloved Treasure

Mu Yichen felt a wave of anxiety upon hearing that she was eating.

”I ate, but I’m a bit hungry again.”

How could she tell him that she couldn’t eat at all?

”Then you should rest early later, I’m hanging up now!”

”Okay!”

Mu Yichen did not disturb her further, and after Qin Mu put down her phone, she hurriedly ate some instant noodles.

Early the next morning, she left the house holding Huanhuan, and the mother and daughter went to a restaurant for some breakfast, mainly for Huanhuan. Seeing other people in the diner eating their breakfast made Huanhuan especially eager with her meal.

Qin Mu felt that the people here were so laid-back, living such a comfortable life.

If it were in China, most people’s breakfasts would be consumed in such a hurry and with so much anxiety, even in restaurants they would eat quickly and then rush off.

The mother and daughter, both dressed in dark coats, arrived at the hospital and met Xiaomei and Jian Yan. Jian Yan was still staying in a deluxe ward, but he had grown even more haggard.

It wasn’t until Huanhuan walked up to his bedside and smiled at him that he lifted his hand and touched Huanhuan, ”Did you miss Uncle?”

Huanhuan nodded vigorously: ”Very much!”

Jian Yan was very happy. If it were before, he would have picked up Huanhuan by now, but now, he probably could not lift her, and he felt a sense of involuntary disappointment.

He didn’t even know if he would have a tomorrow.

Jian Yan looked up at Qin Mu, noticing her somewhat dark eyes: ”Didn’t sleep well last night?”

”I got back a bit late, but I can hold up.”

Qin Mu thought to herself, compared to your condition, I’m absolutely fine.

”There’s nothing much going on in the hospital now, Xiao Mei and Li Sen are here. Take Huanhuan back for some rest.”

”The surgery is this afternoon, how can I go back and rest?”

Qin Mu asked softly, then said, ”Keep an eye on Huanhuan for me, I’m going to ask the doctor some questions.”

Xiao Mei had asked a lot yesterday, but didn’t quite understand, so when Qin Mu said she was going to find the doctor, she nodded repeatedly, stepping forward to hold Huanhuan’s hand: ”Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her.”

In fact, Xiaomei missed Huanhuan too, and Huanhuan was happy to see her beloved aunt. Qin Mu then left the room, coinciding with the doctor’s arrival at the office. Hearing someone knock, the doctor turned and saw a Chinese woman, he asked instinctively, ”How can I help you?”

He spoke in English, but Qin Mu knew he was French, he probably worried she wouldn’t understand French.

It was a long day, from waiting for the surgery to being on the operating table.

Qin Mu, Huanhuan, and Xiaomei stayed outside the operating room, all with somber expressions. The usually cheerful Huanhuan, seeing her mother and aunt so nervous, couldn’t help but feel anxious too, along with two men standing opposite them, who also kept their heads down, silent and brooding.

When Secretary Xi arrived, Qin Mu was surprised. Secretary Xi went straight to the floor where the operating room was. As the elevator opened, she immediately spotted the woman holding a child not far away and quickly approached her.

”Madam, our CEO sent me here to accompany you.”

Qin Mu, holding Huanhuan, looked at the woman in front of her dressed in very casual warm clothing, and it took her a while to react.

Although he always spoke bothersome words, he had been doing things that showed he cared about her.

At that moment, she was beyond saying thank you, because the wait had already silenced her for too long.

Even after Jian Yan was taken into the ICU, no one dared to breathe a sigh of relief. The doctor said the surgery was very successful, but he was still sent to the ICU.

Qin Mu handed Huanhuan over to Secretary Xi: ”Please accompany Huanhuan to my apartment. If you’re not in a hurry to go back to China, please help me look after her.”

”Alright, no problem.”

Secretary Xi looked through the glass outside the ward at the man inside lying at death’s door and nodded to Qin Mu, then took Huanhuan by hand and left the hospital.

Xiao Mei still stood by, tearing up, worriedly asking: ”Qinqin, will he wake up?”

”If the surgery was successful then he will surely wake up. He’s just too weak right now, give him some time.”

Qin Mu whispered comfortingly, seeing Xiao Mei’s face covered in tears, she raised her hand to wipe them away: ”Stop crying, your eyes are all swollen.”

”I’m scared!”

Xiao Mei suddenly hugged her tightly: ”Qinqin, I’m so afraid of losing him. I used to blame him for not seeing me, but now, I would be satisfied just to watch him from afar, as long as he wakes up I can give up everything else.”

Qin Mu gently patted her back, feeling upset herself as she watched Xiao Mei cry so hard.

Qin Mu inadvertently saw the two men still standing there, gently patted Xiao Mei’s shoulder, and after Xiao Mei moved away from her shoulder, she walked over to thank them and asked them to help look after the studio for the time being. Everyone had worked together before, so there was no need for too much formality. The two men assured her that they would notify her of any change in Jian Yan’s condition, and after receiving Qin Mu’s thanks, they left.
