Since Jiang Leyi was willing, Jiang Nanshu naturally wouldn’t say anything more.
The two of them went to a restaurant for dinner together.
Jiang Nanshu had an appointment for a prenatal checkup at the hospital the next day, as the last checkup wasn’t thorough.
The next day, Lu Qingyan canceled his work and accompanied her to the hospital.
It was the same hospital as before.
Su Ran held her daughter as they played in the bustling lobby.
She put her daughter down, and her daughter quickly chased after several other children.
She stood there, smiling gently.
When she caught a glimpse of Lu Qingyan accompanying Jiang Nanshu to her prenatal checkup out of the corner of her eye, her smile faltered for a second.
The scene of being refused when she borrowed money last time was still vivid in her mind, making her feel a little embarrassed for a moment. She turned her head away, not wanting the two of them to see her.
Jiang Nanshu and Lu Qingyan simply walked by, completely unaware of her presence.
“Mommy.”
A sweet, childlike voice rang out, and a soft little body nestled into her arms.
Su Ran looked down at her daughter’s rosy cheeks, her heart melting. She composed herself and asked with a smile, “Youyou, was it fun?”
Little Youyou nodded vigorously: “Fun! Mommy, when can Youyou go out and stop needing injections?”
Looking into her daughter’s clear eyes, Su Ran could only smile bitterly. She didn’t want to appear pessimistic in front of her daughter. Perhaps it was because of her difficult family background that her daughter was so sensible at such a young age.
Su Ran rubbed Youyou’s head: “It’ll be soon. After Youyou goes out, you can play with more children and go to school. You will grow up and become the most beautiful little girl.”
Little Youyou bit her soft, white finger and giggled at Su Ran, saying, “I want to grow up quickly, so Mommy won’t cry.”
She was small, and her words weren’t very clear, but Su Ran understood everything.
Her eyes welled up with tears, and she hugged her tightly.
Her daughter is her pillar of support now.
She had endured so much, from the vibrant bloom of youth to a heart aged like an old woman.
Her life had been fraught with hardship, and every choice she made along the way had been a turning point in her life.
She could have had a peaceful and lasting relationship, but she was too greedy.
What was wrong with wanting to climb the social ladder after being accustomed to hardship?
What was wrong with not wanting to repeat her mother’s mistakes?
But now, she had chosen that path anyway.
She raised her child alone, and the child was seriously ill and could leave this world if she wasn’t careful.
Her child was so young, so innocent.
Su Ran only hoped that her daughter would grow up safely and happily.
She didn’t wish for her to achieve anything great, only that she live a peaceful and ordinary life, free from illness and disaster. That would be enough.
“Okay, Mommy won’t cry. Youyou, be strong. You’ll get better, and when you’re better, Mommy will take you to the park. Mommy will fly a kite with you, okay?”
“Mmm.” She hugged Su Ran tightly.
In her eyes, Su Ran was her whole world; she couldn’t lose her mother.
Su Ran stroked her soft hair.
A sense of sorrow welled up inside her.
She had agreed to harm someone to save her daughter.
If she killed Jiang Nanshu, she wouldn’t live much longer.
If she didn’t do these things, her daughter wouldn’t live much longer either.
Su Ran felt a pang of pain.
She spent her whole life making choices, and every choice left her battered and bruised. No matter how painful it was, she could only swallow her tears and grievances.
All she could do was hold her daughter, trying to draw warmth from her, and whisper, “Youyou, Mommy will definitely save you. You must grow up well…”
