While taking a nap, Qiu Ling was woken up by a phone call.He opened his eyes with difficulty, and took out his mobile phone from under the pillow. When he saw the caller ID, he started to have a headache again.

Xia Yu, who was lying on the bedside and drowsy, was also refreshed by the noise. Seeing Qiu Ling frowning at the phone screen, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"...My mother-in-law called." Qiu Ling sighed, "I guess she wanted to ask about Qin Yichen's condition."

Even though Qiu Ling didn't answer the phone for a long time, Qin's mother didn't intend to hang up at all, as if she wanted to wait until Qiu Ling picked it up.

"Hey, Mom." Qiu Ling finally bit the bullet and picked it up, "What's the matter?"

Mother Qin's voice sounded anxious and anxious, she asked: "You are by Yichen's side now. How is he doing? Are you awake?"

Qiu Ling and Qin Yichen are in different situations and belong to different departments, so the wards are not on the same floor.Therefore, Qiu Ling actually doesn't know Qin Yichen's current situation.But since the doctor didn't come to him, Qin Yichen should be fine.

Although Qiu Ling had made up his mind to divorce Qin Yichen, Qin's mother obviously didn't know about it, and he didn't want to have a conflict with others on the phone, so he said, "He woke up once last night."

This is the truth.When he had a showdown with Qin Yichen last night, the other party had indeed woken up, but he didn't know whether he was unconscious or awake now.

"Did the doctor give you a diagnosis? What's wrong? Yichen won't, won't... have some serious illness!" Mother Qin asked anxiously, her voice still choked with sobs.

She was a little dissatisfied with Qiu Ling. She felt that when Qiu Ling mentioned Qin Yichen, his attitude was too indifferent. Asking him questions was like squeezing toothpaste, and he only answered one question.

"Mom, then I'll tell you straight..." Qiu Ling said slowly, "The doctor gave him a more detailed examination this morning, and finally diagnosed him with a second-stage brain tumor, which requires surgery as soon as possible."

Then Qiu Ling heard the person on the other end of the phone gasp.The son suffered from a brain tumor—this blow was still too great for Qin's mother, who was nearly sixty years old, and she could not speak for a long time.

When Qin's mother and Qin's father got along, there was a subtle sense of disharmony. The relationship between this middle-aged couple did not seem to be as harmonious as it appeared on the surface.Occasionally, when Qiu Ling followed Qin Yichen back to her parents' house to visit, she could always feel that something was wrong, but Qin Yichen was used to it.

Once, when Qiu Ling and Qin's mother were washing dishes by the kitchen sink, they found that she also had scars on her wrists.At that time, he thought, maybe Qin's mother had the same experience as him, and she was also enduring domestic violence from her husband, but she couldn't get a divorce due to various reasons.

He always has some sympathy for those who have the same situation.

Besides, in the past three years of marriage, even though Qin Yichen beat and scolded him frequently, and Qin's father was quite strict with him, at least Qin's mother treated him well in the open.

Out of kindness, Qiu Ling still comforted her in a gentle voice: "Mom, don't worry too much. The doctor said that as long as the operation is performed as soon as possible, the possibility of recovery is still very high!"

"Okay... I see. Just watch over Yichen first. Your dad and I are going to board the plane soon, and we will probably arrive at the hospital in the early hours of this evening." Qin's mother's anxiety has not yet been relieved, and she said After that, he hung up the phone hastily.

Qiu listened to the busy tone coming from the phone, rubbed his brows and said to Xia Yu, "My mother-in-law said that she and my father-in-law will be coming to the hospital in the early morning tonight."

Xia Yu held his hand and coaxed him softly, "Isn't it a good time his mother is here? Then you can put his affairs aside and take a good rest first."

"But my mother-in-law and father-in-law don't even know about the fact that I'm going to divorce Qin Yichen." Qiu Ling threw her phone on the bed, covered her face and said sullenly.

When Father Qin and Mother Qin arrived in City D, he would have to face three people.

Xia Yu held his shoulders and couldn't help sighing: "No matter sooner or later, we have to face it."

As an "outsider", he can't help Qiu Ling in this matter, so he can only give some comfort and encouragement in words.

After answering such a phone call, Qiu Ling naturally lost the mood to continue her afternoon nap.He leaned his head on Xia Yu's shoulder and watched the TV program sullenly.

The weather in autumn is always unpredictable.It was a sunny day with the sun shining brightly at noon, but at three or four o'clock, the sky was suddenly covered with a layer of dark clouds, and the sky darkened almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.But after a while, there was a light rain like needles in the sky.

Both of them had their own troubles in their hearts, and their expressions seemed calm and serene, but they were both worried and uneasy.

After a while, Qiu Ling suddenly asked: "Xia Yu, you have been here with me for a long time, don't you need to go back?"

"What am I going to do when I go back?" Xia Yu said in a low voice, "Although I couldn't divorce him because of... the pregnancy, I've already been divorced."

"But we're going to be separated soon, and you're going to go back to Mr. Ji to live with him, you can't... just keep doing this." Qiu Ling said with downcast eyes.

"Qiu Ling! Don't say such things again." Xia Yu spoke to him in such a heavy tone for the first time, his voice sounded a little angry and painful, "Don't drive me away..."

Qiu Ling was a little frightened, she quickly shut her mouth, raised her reddish eyes, and looked at Xia Yu timidly.

Xia Yu's heart softened all of a sudden, he hugged Qiu Ling's shoulders and hugged him, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hurt you."

He knew that Qiu Ling was very gentle and understanding, even in this difficult situation, she still thought of him.But the more Qiu Ling said such words, the more distressed he felt.Because it will make him realize that there is a reality in front of him that he has to face—a cold, cruel, and hopeless reality.

Qiu Ling hugged him back, opened the corners of her mouth and smiled softly, and said, "You know what Xia Yu, I actually think I'm quite despicable. I've already made up my mind to agree to Mr. Ji's conditions and accept his help , and then separated from you, but now deliberately delaying the time not to tell this decision, so that I can stay with you for a few more days..."

He couldn't let go of Xia Yu, couldn't let go of all the good things of this month.Therefore, he had no choice but to be a despicable thief, taking advantage of the last chance, to steal a few more days, to enjoy the last tenderness.

Even so, it would make him uneasy.

Xia Yu comforted him and said, "It's not your fault."

In fact, in the whole matter, who is at fault and who is innocent, how can it be easy to say clearly?
