Chapter 401 – Little Girl Like Mei
The doctor adjusted his glasses and looked at Jun Zixuan who had his eyes narrowed slightly while he sat there with one of his legs crossed above another, ''…We can still handle her current condition if we keep it in check. But we will have to continue with chemotherapy rather than only relying on medication,'' The doctor said, trying his best to keep his tone as light as possible.
''Chemotherapy includes risks,'' Jun Zixuan said, ''There are chances of second cancers, thyroid dysfunction,'' He tilted his head down slightly.
The doctor was slightly surprised, not expecting Jun Zixuan to be aware of such details, ''It does. But the patient's condition has improved with medications and there is only a little to do in which Chemotherapy will be helpful which includes only 2-5% risk. There is still time for the patient to be nursed back to health if we let her recuperate properly. Please consider it and make a decision in time…''
"Doctor, can I see her?" Jun Zishen interrupted the man as he spoke, his voice sounded hoarse.
The doctor glanced at Jun Zixuan before looking at Jun Zishen, ''The patient is unconscious at the moment but you can go inside to see her,'' The doctor said before he left.
''Stop right there,'' Jun Zixuan emotionlessly said and Jun Zishen's footsteps came to a halt.
"I want to see her,'' Jun Zishen said indifferently as he turned to look at Jun Zixuan.
Jun Zixuan pushed himself to his feet as he tilted his head, "I don't allow you to.''
''She is still my legal wife. You can't stop me,'' Jun Zishen thrust one of his hands inside his pocket as he stared at his son whose face was like a reflection of his.
''Try me,'' Jun Zixuan held the man's gaze.
But Jun Zishen knew that it was only the face that was his reflection and his son was way more stubborn than him.
''I…''
''Dad,'' Jun Boyan, who was sitting quietly till this point stood up as he approachedthe man, ''Your face doesn't looks well. You need to freshen up and eat something.''
Jun Zishen turned to look at him.
''I am tired as well. Let's go. We will be back before Mom wakes up.''
Jun Zishen understood that his younger son was trying to keep him and his elder brother away from each other. Although he wanted to see Shen Lihua badly at this moment, but he understood where Jun Zixuan was coming from and somehow the guilt in his heart was overwhelming, ''Alright, let's go.''
After both of them left, Shi Luo who was standing quietly, trying to keep her presence blended in the background sighed softly, ''Come Zixuan, time for you to eat something as well.''
Jun Zixuan turned to look at her as he raised an eyebrow.
''I will call your wife and then you can see her dropping her sleep and coming here to feed you,'' Shi Luo flipped her slightly messy braid towards the back before she crossed her arms infront of her chest, ''I don't how you coaxed her to go back but do you think she would stay put if she knows what condition you are in?"
Jun Zixuan pursed his lips.
''Come, we can have our meal in my office while both of them eat in the hospital cafeteria,'' As he looked towards the other direction, Shi Luo followed his gaze, ''They will shift Auntie to the VIP room in some time and there are your guards around too so it will be alright. You should let her sleep peacefully right now.''
Jun Zixuan nodded, ''Lead the way.''
While both of them left, they did not notice Jun Zixuan's phone left on the chair, flashing constantly.
After they had their dinner, Shi Luo left the office room to get warm water.
Jun Zixuan was sitting there quietly, lost in his thoughts when his something caught his attention.
He picked up the magazine lying on the coffee table and glanced at the cover quietly.
''You seem to like kids?" Shi Luo asked as she stepped inside the office room. She handed him the cup of warm water before taking a seat beside him while she looked at the the magazine in his hand that read 'Pregnancy and newborn'.
"Not particularly,'' Jun Zixuan mumbled as he looked at the picture of the baby on the cover, ''They used to appear troublesome but… now I think they are cute. A little girl like Mei would be the cutest…'' He paused.
Shi Luo nodded, ''You know, when Mei was younger, she was the naughtiest child amongst all the kids around us,'' She laughed at the memories, ''If only her health condition was not this way then I would have been the most excited one to hold your kids…''
''Health condition?" Jun Zixuan cut her off and he turned to look at her as he spoke in a soft voice.
Shi Luo absent-mindedly took a sip of water from the cup as she nodded, ''I am talking about her PCOS….''
''PCOS?''Jun Zixuan's voice went a tone deeper and this time Shi Luo finally snapped out of her daze, finding something was amiss.
"You don't know?" She glanced at him.
His lips thinned, ''Tell me.''
Shi Luo was speechless. After all the revelations between the couple, the last thing she expected was for Jun Zixuan to not know about Yu Mei's health condition.
''Shi Luo,'' Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes as he took her full name.
And Shi Luo knew that there was no way out of this. Left with no choice, she explained everything to him about how this body's shape was not because of obesity like Yu Mei had initially assumed but it was PCOS. She explained how Yu Mei was came here for check up and was prescribed with the medications for it.
Along with it, she also briefed him about the condition, ''So, basically, it's tough for people with this condition to be pregnant and even if they are pregnant, it would be a risk for both mother and child. If… If the child survives too, the chances of the mother surviving is less.''
Jun Zixuan's grip on the magazine tightened as his fingers curled over the edges.
