Mother Lu looked at Lu Mo, who had shaved her head, and said with a pained expression, “Momo, I just feel sorry for you. You love Xiaoran but he loves Qiao An. I’m just worried that you won’t be happy and won’t live long.”

Huo Xiaoran glanced at Lu Mo. He was stung by Lu Mo’s bald head and finally gave it his all. He said, “Auntie, I’ll get engaged to Momo at the beginning of next month. I’ll treat her well in the future.”

Mrs. Lu smiled through her tears.

“My Momo is finally out of her misery.”

Huo Xiaoran acknowledged Lu Mo as his wife, and the Huo family valued this future granddaughter-in-law very much.

Mr. and Mrs. Huo, as well as Huo Zhou’s parents, came to the hospital to visit Lu Mo with rare gifts. The commotion was huge.

That day, Qiao An’s nurse said to Qiao An enviously, “Miss Qiao, did you know that the Huo family came to see Miss Lu Mo today? It turns out that Miss Lu Mo is so well-liked by the Huo family. I heard that the Huo family gave Lu Mo a house, a car, and all kinds of jewelry.”

Qiao An was agitated. She stared out the window with an indifferent face. She wondered why her heart ached so much when she heard that Huo Xiaoran and Lu Mo were fine.

Just because Huo Xiaoran had taken a knife for her and he treated her slightly better, he was able to erase her hatred for him. How useless she was.

The silver lining was that when Qiao An’s test results came back, she was only diagnosed with mastitis.

She heaved a sigh of relief.

Since it was only a minor illness, she was unwilling to continue being hospitalized. After all, she had three children to take care of at home. When they video-called her every night, the children cried. Her old mother’s heart hurt all the time, so Qiao An decisively asked to be discharged.

When the attending physician came to check on her that day, Qiao An made her request firmly. “Doctor, I want to be discharged.”

The doctor looked at her in surprise. “Don’t worry about being hospitalized. Dr. Lu specially instructed us to let you leave after you’re completely cured.”

Qiao An was stubborn. “There’s no need. My fever’s gone.”

The attending physician said, “Then wait a moment. I’ll ask the leader.”

After the attending physician left Qiao An’s ward, he went straight to Lu Mo’s ward and told Lu Mo and Huo Xiaoran about Qiao An’s strong needs for discharge.

“Miss Qiao insisted on being discharged. Should I approve or not?”

Lu Mo couldn’t wait for Qiao An to leave, but she had to pretend to be merciful and look at Huo Xiaoran.

Huo Xiaoran asked, “How’s her condition?”

“The fever didn’t go down until midnight yesterday. Logically, it doesn’t meet the discharge criteria.”

Huo Xiaoran frowned. “Then tell her to stay for another two days.”

The attending physician held his forehead. “Miss Qiao is unwilling.”

Huo Xiaoran asked again, “Has anyone from her family visited her in the past two days?”

The attending physician shook his head.

Huo Xiaoran’s eagle eyes were cold.

He was even more unhappy with Qiao An’s unreliable husband.

“Call her family and get him to come over and persuade her,” Huo Xiaoran said.

The attending physician flipped through Qiao An’s casebook and scratched his head. “No family calls.”

Lu Mo realized that Huo Xiaoran wouldn’t let the sick Qiao An go easily because he was still worried about her safety.

Lu Mo volunteered, “Senior, why don’t I persuade her?”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Lu Mo and nodded.

Lu Mo arrived at Qiao An’s ward. When Qiao An saw Lu Mo, she was shocked.

Because Lu Mo’s long hair had actually disappeared. In that moment, Qiao An’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.

The woman Huo Xiaoran wanted to marry was actually a cancer patient like Lu Mo. She suddenly felt that Huo Xiaoran’s life didn’t seem to be so perfect.

A man like him could have any woman he wanted. Why did he have to have a cancer patient?

Lu Mo sent the nurse away. “Go out. I have something to talk to Qiao An about in private.”

After the nurse left, Lu Mo put on a pitiful expression. “Qiao An, did you see that? It’s because of you that my condition worsened so quickly.”

Qiao An stared straight at Lu Mo. At that time, she felt guilty, but some obscure thoughts also surfaced.

“Dr. Lu, do you really love Huo Xiaoran?” she asked.

If she had such cancer, she would never drag down the person she loved. She would only push him away, not hold on to him like Lu Mo.

Lu Mo was very angry. “What do you mean? Qiao An, don’t you know if I love Xiaoran or not? I’ve loved him since university. I’ve known him longer than you. My love for him is deeper than yours. What right do you have to question my love for him?”

Qiao An felt a little ashamed that she had upset a cancer patient. “Sorry. I’m not questioning your love. I’m just wondering how much you love him? If you love him very, very much, I’ll give you my loyal blessing.”

Only then did Lu Mo restrain her anger and look at Qiao An suspiciously. “What about you? Do you still love him?”

Qiao An was silent for a moment.

If it were in the past, she would have rejected this question without hesitation. But after Huo Xiaoran blocked the knife for her, she was a little shaken.

“I don’t know,” Qiao An said honestly.

Lu Mo’s almond-shaped eyes widened. She was amazed at Qiao An’s clarity.

Qiao An’s love seemed to be directly related to the other party’s character. If Huo Xiaoran hurt her, she could leave him decisively. If Huo Xiaoran helped her, she could also turn back without hesitation.

“Qiao An, Senior and I are getting engaged on the first of next month. I hope you can come.” Lu Mo changed the topic and flaunted her happiness.

She saw the pain in Qiao An’s eyes, but she still ruthlessly stabbed Qiao An in the heart. “Originally, Senior felt that you shouldn’t contact him anymore after you became strangers with her. But I think it’s very meaningful to get to know you and let you witness our happiness. Will you come?”

She hoped Qiao An would refuse.

But Qiao An said, “If Dr. Lu wants me to come, I will.”

Lu Mo’s expression was a little unnatural.

Qiao An suppressed the obscure thoughts in her heart and asked Lu Mo, “Doctor Lu, what’s so good about Huo Xiaoran? Is he worth you treating him so well?”

She yearned to know the answer to this question. Because she couldn’t find it, she hoped that Lu Mo would help her find it.

How could Lu Mo know the conflict and doubts in Qiao An’s heart? She smiled proudly. “Not only is he good at his studies and talented, but he’s also good-looking. Most importantly, he knows how to be grateful.”

“Know how to be grateful?”

Qiao An read silently.

If he didn’t know how to be grateful, why would he marry a patient?

But if he really knew how to be grateful, then he should be grateful to her for all those years.
