Chapter 375: She Didn’t Want to Contract a Terminal Illness

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Mu Jingzhe thought of the children, she thought of Xiao Wu. She looked at the sky outside the window and quickly said, “We have to pick Xiao Wu up. He should have finished practicing by now.”

“Ah, right. I almost forgot to pick Xiao Wu up. I’ll get someone to pick him up.”

“Just go pick him up himself. Talk to Xiao Wu properly, or you’ll scare him.”

Ji Buwang was worried about Mu Jingzhe and didn’t want to leave her behind again, but Mu Jingzhe was even more worried about Xiao Wu. “I’m in the hospital now. You can go.”

Ji Buwang could only go and pick up Xiao Wu first. In the end, he didn’t find Xiao Wu at the rehearsal venue and was told that Xiao Wu had gone back early. Ji Buwang traced the route back home and spotted the dejected Xiao Wu just as he was about to reach their home.

“Xiao Wu!” Ji Buwang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw him. “Why didn’t you say anything before coming back?”

“Uncle, where’s Mommy?” Xiao Wu immediately asked when he saw Ji Buwang.

“Your mother is in the hospital…”

Ji Buwang had just finished speaking when Xiao Wu helplessly took a step back. “Is Mommy really sick?”

“You know your mother is sick? Who told you that?” action

“No one told me. I guessed because I was worried.” Xiao Wu grabbed Ji Buwang’s hand. “Is Mommy very sick?”

Ji Buwang didn’t say if she was seriously ill. He only said, “She’s awake now. Let’s go to the hospital to see her first.”

“Okay.” When Xiao Wu saw that Ji Buwang hadn’t answered directly, tears welled up in his eyes. “Uncle, Mommy won’t die, right?”

“Of course not. She’s just sick. She’ll be cured soon,” Ji Buwang immediately replied with certainty.

“That’s good.” Xiao Wu’s eyes were red. “Nothing can happen to Mommy.”

“Don’t cry. Your mother will definitely be fine. Why are you crying so much today?”

Xiao Wu wiped his tears. “I’m just so worried and afraid. Mommy has never been sick before.”

When he arrived at the hospital, he saw Mu Jingzhe smiling at him from the hospital bed. Xiao Wu ran over. “Mommy!”

Xiao Wu then hugged Mu Jingzhe. He had wanted to hold himself back, but when he saw her pale face, he couldn’t help but burst into tears. “Mommy, nothing can happen to you.”

“Nothing will happen to me. I’m just sick. Everyone falls sick every now and then.”

“But you’re very sick…”

“Maybe because I’ve never been sick before, it’s accumulated and it’s happening all at once. It’s fine.”

After finally coaxing the teary-faced Xiao Wu, Mu Jingzhe felt a little helpless as she saw him cling to her. “Alright, don’t be afraid. I’m really fine. I don’t feel unwell anymore.”

Ji Buwang went to prepare food, but Mu Jingzhe didn’t have much of an appetite. The main reason was that she seemed to feel terrible whenever she ate something. She was already traumatized.

Shao Qihai had probably been notified by Jiang Feng, as he kept contacting her, causing her pager to keep ringing. Mu Jingzhe borrowed the hospital phone to call Shao Qihai back.

“Shao Qihai, it’s me.”

Shao Qihai heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Mu Jingzhe’s voice. “Are you alright? Jiang Feng suddenly contacted me and said…”

Shao Qihai couldn’t continue. Jiang Feng’s words had been harsh, and he had described what he had seen in detail. Shao Qihai had actually been mentally prepared to find out that Ji Buwang was serious. He had been waiting for Mu Jingzhe for such a long time.

However, now that he had heard that they were already a couple, it was as if he could see the day Mu Jingzhe would really divorce him.

He wanted to ask if Mu Jingzhe had accepted Ji Buwang’s love, but he heard Mu Jingzhe say, “I know what he said to you. You didn’t tell Jiang Feng that we have already signed a divorce agreement. He was furious. I told him that we had already discussed a divorce and explained that I was feeling unwell, but he didn’t listen.”

“Feeling unwell? Are you sick?” Shao Qihai was shocked when he heard that. “Is it serious? Jiang Feng was so agitated when he spoke that he didn’t mention that you were sick.”

“Yeah, I am. I’m in the hospital right now. They haven’t found out what it is yet. I don’t know if it’s serious. Don’t tell the kids for the time being. It might just be a small problem. Perhaps I’ll be fine in a couple of days. I’ll tell them when I recover.”

Mu Jingzhe didn’t want Shao Dong and the others to be anxious. Of course, she didn’t plan on hiding it forever. It would be fine if it was just a minor illness. If it was a major illness, she’d have to tell Shao Dong and the others about it.

Shao Qihai knew that Mu Jingzhe had been in good health all along and was very worried when he heard that she was sick. “I understand. I won’t tell them for the time being, but are you really fine? Why don’t I come over directly?”

“There’s nothing wrong for now. We’ll see when the results are out. You still have to take care of Shao Dong and the others. Don’t come over. I’ll tell you the results when they’re out.

“I’m fine here… Okay, that’s it for now. I’m hanging up.”

It wasn’t convenient to talk about the divorce procedure over the phone. Furthermore, she was still in the hospital. Mu Jingzhe planned to tell Shao Qihai in person when she got discharged and then settle the matter immediately.

She just didn’t know when she would be discharged, nor did she know what this illness was. This was also the reason Mu Jingzhe hadn’t boasted like yesterday and had only dared say that she was fine for the time being. This was because she didn’t know if her body would suddenly hurt like yesterday.

She was actually very afraid. Everyone would be afraid in her shoes. The pain was simply too terrifying. Most importantly, she had even vomited blood. Would a normal person vomit blood? That only happened in television dramas and s, alright?

Mu Jingzhe even suspected that she was suffering from a terminal illness. After all, she had vomited blood!

At the thought of having a terminal illness, Mu Jingzhe was afraid. She hadn’t died before she had transmigrated. This time, she would really die. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. She couldn’t calm down at all.

She was very worried about her health and she was under too much pressure, so Mu Jingzhe couldn’t fall asleep. Xiao Wu and Ji Buwang didn’t go back and insisted on watching over her.

After tossing and turning for the entire evening, she finally fell asleep and woke up again. When she woke up, she heard Xiao Wu talking in his sleep.

“Mommy, don’t die. I don’t want you to die…”

Mu Jingzhe was about to cry when she heard that. She bit the blanket to stop herself from crying out loud.

Sob, sob… She didn’t want to die either. It wasn’t easy for her to finally live a good life. Now that she had bought a small villa, she would live a good life in the future. With Xiao Wu and the rest by her side, she had a family, money, and looks. One couldn’t get enough of such a life no matter what. How could she bear to die?

Previously, she had been proud of the fact that she was in good health and she wouldn’t fall sick easily. In the past two years, she hadn’t even caught a minor cold. However, everyone always said that it was good to catch a cold once or twice a year. People who didn’t catch a cold or fall sick might contract a serious illness down the road.

From the looks of it, this might be quite accurate. She had never been sick, which was why things had turned out like this now that she’d suddenly fallen sick.

At the thought of a major illness or death, Mu Jingzhe felt afraid. She had become a character in a , but she couldn’t be as fearless as one. She was terrified of death. Being afraid of death was a characteristic of hers, and she couldn’t bear to leave such a good life behind.

Besides, she hadn’t even waited for the five kids to grow up. She had raised them for the past few years and developed feelings for them. She had never been in a passionate relationship before either.. She really couldn’t accept going through this for two lifetimes.
