I didn't dare to delay and went straight to the Tertiary Hospital. The doctor gave me a prescription for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging and also ordered a Pathology test. During the days of waiting for the results, my heart was always in suspense. At that time, I was pregnant with Yun Yun and undergoing examinations at the hospital; my mood was joyful. But now, my mood is anxious.
Why is a woman's fate so unfair? Why is it that when we suffer, no one comforts us? Why do we have to endure psychological blows when our bodies are already in pain? The days of waiting for the results kept me awake all night.
The results came back: Breast Cancer. At that moment, I felt like the sky had fallen. I was not yet 30 years old; I had only lived a third of my life—how could I have this disease? I couldn't believe it. I couldn't accept it. I couldn't imagine leaving this world and what would happen to my daughter.
Seeing my dazed expression, the doctor comforted me, "Don't be afraid. Medicine has advanced; there are chemotherapy and surgery options. As long as you maintain a good mindset, you will recover." I was admitted to the hospital to prepare for chemotherapy.
To my surprise, my mother-in-law came to visit. She stood at the door with a cold expression and said, "What bad luck!" I looked up at her in confusion. She glanced at me and continued, "The family isn't well-off, and you're wasting money like this!" I lowered my head, tears welling up in my eyes. My mother-in-law kept going on, "A woman who can't bring any benefit to the family only adds burdens!"
I raised my head and stared at her fiercely. "Am I a burden? Have I spent your money?"
My mother-in-law was taken aback for a moment, then shouted, "What kind of attitude is that!"
I picked up the test results and slapped them on her face. "Look, I've got cancer!"
She glanced at the test results and said, "Oh, then take care of yourself."
With that, she turned and walked away.
That evening, Li Haoran brought our daughter to the hospital.
He played with her for a while before hurriedly leaving.
He said there was something at work.
The company was more important than his wife's life.
I watched my husband's hurried figure, feeling a pang of bitterness in my heart.
Then I looked at my daughter, who was wearing old clothes from two years ago.
My heart ached as if it were being cut by a dull knife.
I hugged my daughter and asked, "Yun Yun, do you miss Mommy?"
She nodded.
I asked again, "Are you scared?"
She looked at me with bright eyes and asked, "Mommy, are you going to die?"
I held back my tears and replied, "Yun Yun, Mommy won't die. Mommy can't bear to leave you."
My daughter wrapped her arms around my neck and said, "Mommy, don't be scared. I'll protect you."
I smiled, but my heart was filled with pain.
The days of chemotherapy were incredibly torturous.
During the day, I vomited, felt dizzy, and couldn't sleep.
At night, my whole body ached, and I felt weak and powerless.
If it weren't for my daughter's smile, I really didn't know if I could hold on.
Today, my mother-in-law brought Li Ran to the hospital room. As soon as Li Ran entered the room, he snatched Yun Yun's doll away. Yun Yun ran out after him, trying to get it back. Li Ran was running wildly in the corridor. Suddenly, he made a sharp turn, and Yun Yun fell down. Her head hit the wall. I felt a deep pain in my heart and wanted to rush out to hold my daughter. But I didn't even have the strength to sit up.
After being hospitalized for a month and a half, the doctor urged Li Haoran to settle the hospital bill and take me home for recovery. As soon as Li Haoran walked in, he frowned and said, "Nothing at home or outside is going smoothly; my son is also causing trouble by fighting with classmates at school." I looked at him. The Head Nurse came in and asked him to go get the test results. In his fluster, he left his phone on the hospital bed.
