After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 144 Malignant Tumors

When Gu Xijue returned that evening, he didn't mention accompanying her to the hospital for a gastroscopy or colonoscopy.

Moreover, Song Jin'an drank laxatives and had diarrhea all night, feeling completely exhausted.

She looked very haggard. She slept in the second bedroom and went to the toilet more than ten times during the night, and didn't get a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Lin Ma prepared breakfast. After Gu Xijue finished eating, he did not leave with his briefcase as usual. Instead, he sat in his seat and watched Song Jin'an feed Gu Hetang.

When was your endoscopy today?

Song Jin'an was taken aback and gestured with her hand.

— 10 o'clock.

It's already 8:30. After feeding the baby and Lin's mom finishes washing the dishes, it will be a little after 9:00. Then we can go to the hospital at just the right time.

"Doesn't Gu Hetang have classes this morning?" Gu Xijue asked in a low voice.

Gu Hetang originally had class this morning, but Lin's mother also had to go to the hospital with her, so the class was moved to the afternoon.

Yu Yousheng will come to class in the afternoon; we already discussed it last night.

Song Jin'an brought up the matter of the class rescheduling, but Gu Xijue remained sullen and finally spoke, somewhat impolitely: "So, you'd rather reschedule the class and take your child to the hospital for a gastroscopy than tell me and let me go with you?"

Gu Xijue had been waiting for her to speak since last night, but the woman sitting opposite him wouldn't utter a single word.

It was as if she was telling herself that if she did this just once, she would die.

Song Jin'an frowned, wiped the crumbs from Gu Hetang's mouth with a tissue, and looked at the angry man in front of her.

What reason does he have to be angry?
Song Jin'an gestured with his hands.

—Shouldn't you be the one to speak first?
She felt speechless and choked with emotion. Why did she have to speak first? Couldn't he have asked first?
Moreover, the painless gastroscopy and colonoscopy procedure requires an adult family member to perform it, which he clearly knew, yet he's here looking for her problems.

Song Jin'an was in a bad mood, feeling that Gu Xijue was doing this on purpose.

"So, you're blaming me for not offering to go to the hospital with you immediately?" Gu Xijue's voice also turned somber.

The two of them were about to start arguing over such a small matter.

—I don't want to argue with you anymore. This is just a small matter. I can go to the hospital with Lin Ma.

Song Jin'an felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. She had to overcome her physical discomfort and deal with a man whose words could drive anyone crazy.

Finally, Gu Xijue stood up abruptly, slammed the door, and left.

Watching the couple argue, Lin Ma sighed repeatedly before saying, "Madam, your husband is just concerned about you."

"The gentleman just feels that you don't see him as someone you can rely on. He just wants you to take the initiative to speak up."

Having been by Gu Xijue's side for so long, Lin's mother knew that he was a very awkward person.

In short, Lin's mother felt that these young masters and noblemen of high society were all a bit dim-witted, probably because they had had it too easy growing up.

That's how it's written in TV dramas.

Song Jin'an didn't say anything. In the end, Lin's mother held Gu Hetang and waited until she came out of the painless gastroscopy last night. She felt that it was the best sleep she had had in a long time, and she had no dreams all night.

Although she woke up without any dreams, Lin's mother was terrified.

Because Song Jin'an was called in by the doctor halfway through her colonoscopy, Lin's mother only knew that the doctor said something about suspected cases and cutting out samples for testing, and she was so scared that she immediately called Gu Xijue.

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Xijue appeared at the hospital.

At this moment, Song Jin'an had not yet come out of the operating room. Gu Xijue stood in front of the doctor, listening to what the doctor was saying.

"Mrs. Gu has a plug in her intestines, a dead knot. We can't tell if there's any disease at the moment. We can only remove it first and then send it for biopsy. The report may take about a week."

The doctor tried to downplay the severity of the situation, but in his last sentence, he said the worst-case scenario was a malignant tumor. Gu Xijue hadn't expected that a simple checkup would lead to a diagnosis.

"Mr. Gu, don't worry too much. The probability of it being a benign tumor is also very high," the doctor added.

Gu Xijue hummed in agreement and said nothing more.

After the doctor went back inside, Gu Xijue stood at the door. Gu Hetang, unaware of anything, stared at Gu Xijue with her big eyes and reached out for a hug.

He took the child and held him in his arms.

Gu Hetang kept playing with the tie on his chest, giggling.

A few minutes later, someone on the far left shouted again, "Song Jin'an's family."

Gu Xijue and Lin Ma then went inside, and the doctor gave Gu Xijue another lecture.

"If the tumor is benign, then no further treatment is needed. But if it is malignant, then hospitalization will be required."

The sample has been sent for biopsy, but we still don't know whether it's benign or malignant.

Lin's mother was in a state of constant anxiety, tears streaming down her face. She kept thinking, "What a good person Madam was, how could she have turned out like this?"

Isn't it said that good people are rewarded?
Gu Xijue looked at the woman lying on the hospital bed and frowned: "Don't cry."

Lin's mother immediately wiped away her tears, and by the time Song Jin'an regained consciousness, her clothes had already been put on.

Song Jin'an felt dizzy and disoriented. When she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Xijue, which surprised her. She thought she was still dreaming, otherwise why would she see him?

Lin's mother was a little worried about her health: "Madam, are you alright?"

"Mrs?"

After helping the person up from the bed, Song Jin'an calmed herself down a bit. When she got up, she realized that Gu Xijue really existed.

She froze, then stretched out her limp, powerless hand and gestured twice.

—Why are you here?

Song Jin'an's mind hadn't quite processed what was happening, so she didn't realize there was anything wrong.

After fifteen minutes, when she had fully come to her senses, she asked another question.

—Did you get the report?
Lin's mother didn't know how to face it. Shandun went to get the report, and at the bottom it said suspected tumor, and it had been sent for biopsy.

For a moment, she didn't know whether she should show it to Song Jin'an.

Gu Xijue took a look at it first before handing the report to her.

While Song Jin'an was examining the tumor, Gu Xijue said, "Doctor, there's a high possibility it's a benign tumor. It's been completely removed and sent for biopsy. Don't worry too much, everything will be fine."

Song Jin'an fell silent, her eyes fixed on the words on the list.

Suspected tumor.

Isn't a tumor the same as cancer?

However, she remained silent for a while before nodding and gesturing with her hands.

--I see.

On the way home, Song Jin'an didn't say a single word.

And the whole day was very quiet. When she played with Gu Hetang, she was very serene, as if nothing had happened.

Gu Xijue didn't go to the company; he was working from home today. She seemed perfectly fine until evening, when Song Jin'an went to take a shower first. He noticed that her tablet was still open, and she was searching on the web...

The survival time for cancer is several months.
