I'm Secretly Married to a Big Shot

She probably wouldn’t.

Who would like a sick person?

And since he didn’t even have a healthy and normal body now, what right did he have to think about things that shouldn’t be?

“Sister, can my disease really be cured?” Qiao Chen’s eyes were dull and unconfident. “When I was in junior high school, a classmate had the same disease as me. He had surgery too, and also went through several treatments. But… he still died.”

“Sister.”

Looking up, Qiao Chen’s dark and clear eyes were covered with a layer of mist. His young voice was a little choked. “Would I… But… I can’t bear to leave you.”

“Chen Chen, don’t talk nonsense.” Qiao Mianmian frowned, reached out, and hugged the young boy’s thin body. Stroking his finely cut hair with one hand, she choked. “Heart disease can be cured. You won’t end up the same as your classmate.

“Brother-in-law is an expert in these related fields. He said that as long as you undergo an operation, you’ll be cured. Then, you’ll be able to live like a normal person. You have to trust him, okay?

“Not all heart diseases are incurable. Our disease is treatable. We only have to cooperate with the doctor to treat the disease, and it’ll get better with time. I’ll ask your brother-in-law about when you can have the surgery later. Let’s do the surgery as soon as possible.”

Qiao Mianmian’s words didn’t sound very confident.

Heart disease could indeed be cured, but…

In a situation like Qiao Chen’s, cure or failure was a 50/50 probability.

But she couldn’t say that.

If she showed no confidence, what could Qiao Chen do?

“Chen Chen, believe in your sister and your brother-in-law. You also have to be confident and stop thinking too much, okay?”

After a while of comfort, Qiao Chen’s mood gradually stabilized.

He pushed her away in embarrassment, his face flushed red. “Sister, I’m sorry. I made you worry about me again.”

She reached out to squeeze his handsome white face, just like she did when he was a child. “Since you know, you’re not allowed to think too much.”

“Yes.” Qiao Chen nodded.

After a few seconds, he curiously asked, “Is brother-in-law a doctor? Doesn’t he have a company?”

“He used to be a doctor.” Qiao Mianmian didn’t really know much about this and had only heard from Lu Rao. “He stopped practicing medicine a few years ago and is doing his own business now. But the Dean said that your brother-in-law is very impressive. As long as he operates you, the success rate is 100%.

“So, you can wait for the operation with a peace of mind. Don’t think of anything else, okay?”

“Okay.” Qiao Chen felt a little more confident now and wasn’t as pessimistic anymore.

“Are you okay now?” Qiao Mianmian asked, thinking of how Mo Yesi was still waiting for them. “Brother-in-law said to eat dinner together to celebrate your discharge. Do you want to go?”

After staying in the room all afternoon, Qiao Chen had figured out several things.

Although he still felt a little distressed, it wasn’t to the extent of being engulfed in depression.

Nodding, he replied, “Yes, I’m fine. If brother-in-law wants to treat, of course, I’ll go.”

Qiao Mianmian grinned and reached out to squeeze his cheek. “Think about what you want to eat. I’ll change my clothes, and then we can go out.” She smiled.
