Chapter 46: Then He’ll Borrow!
After the father and son finished eating, the doctor came by. Following an afternoon discussion, they confirmed the treatment plan and paid the fees.
In the hospital’s private office, Liu Yu received Su Nuokang’s medical records.
He adjusted his glasses and carefully read through the entire report and treatment plan.
Then he photographed everything and sent it to Chu Hanting.
[Your father-in-law’s condition.]
The man who was quickly reviewing a pile of documents heard the message notification and picked up his phone.
The pop-up displayed that last line.
Father-in-law?
Had Liu Yu finally gone mad from dealing with patients?
But despite his sarcasm, he knew Liu Yu wasn’t someone who acted carelessly, so he opened the message to read carefully.
Though he didn’t understand much about medicine, the diagnosis was written in black and white: malignant tumor.
Even with his limited medical knowledge, he knew what those words meant.
He quickly replied:
[Put it simply, can it be cured?]
Liu Yu, who had been waiting for Chu Hanting’s response, replied instantly: [Nothing is absolute with cancer, but it was discovered early. There’s a good chance of recovery in the early stages.]
Seeing this, Chu Hanting’s heart settled a bit. [Replace Su Nuokang’s medical team with the best doctors, and send his case to international medical organizations to develop the best treatment plan.]
[Use the best medicines, regardless of cost, as long as they’re effective. Su Mu’s side doesn’t need to pay – I’ll take full responsibility.]
[Also, find the best surgical specialists for this and invite them here.]
After giving all these instructions, Liu Yu simply replied [ok].
Putting down his phone, Chu Hanting could no longer focus on his documents.
He hadn’t expected that just as Su Mu found his birth father, something like this would happen. He wondered how heartbroken Su Mu must be, and if he felt helpless?
Why didn’t he come to him for help?
Troubled by these thoughts, he called in Yang, his assistant.
“Cancel all my afternoon meetings.”
“But this afternoon is the Hai City…”
The man wearing the shabby gray jacket with a balding head spoke threateningly in a low voice to Su Mu, “I’m warning you not to meddle in others’ business.”
“You knocked someone down, at least apologize to them. Besides, this is a hospital – taking someone to trauma care to treat their wounds is basic human decency, isn’t it?”
The man frowned and scoffed, “Are you kidding me? I should apologize to a little kid?”
“Whoever is at fault should apologize and take responsibility,” Su Mu patted the little girl behind him on the head, reassuring her not to be afraid.
“What if I fucking refuse to apologize? What can you do about it?” the man was extremely arrogant.
“If he tells you to apologize, then apologize.”
A deep, intimidating voice rang out.
Chu Hanting had arrived just in time to hear this exchange, and without asking for details, immediately took Su Mu’s side.
Su Mu was surprised to see him here. Wasn’t this his busiest time at work?
“Why are you…”
Chu Hanting naturally patted Su Mu’s fluffy head, “We’ll talk later.”
His gaze swept over the little girl beside him and the scrape on her knee, roughly guessing what had happened.
When he turned to face the balding man, his expression was stern and cold, his voice deep and carrying an undeniable threat, “I’ll give you three seconds to apologize and get lost.”
Chu Hanting towered over the balding man, his intimidating presence sending chills down the man’s spine.
Earlier, the man had bullied Su Mu because he looked gentle and easy to push around.
But this man – it seemed like if he dared say no, he might get chopped up with a machete. The murderous aura was too much to handle.
Figuring an apology wouldn’t kill him, the man quickly assessed the situation, spat out a rapid “sorry,” and ran away.
No one chased after him, as the priority now was treating the little girl’s wound. Though not serious, leaving it exposed risked tetanus – it needed cleaning right away.
“Do you know where the trauma room is?”
Being Liu Yu’s close friend, Chu Hanting was familiar with the hospital. He nodded, “Follow me.”
Su Mu picked up the little girl and followed Chu Hanting.
While the nurse treated the girl’s wound, Su Mu finally had time to ask, “Why did you come here?”
Seeing Su Mu’s normal demeanor, Chu Hanting felt somewhat relieved.
“Why didn’t you tell me about something this important? Why carry it alone, hmm?”
Su Mu looked confused.
“What should I have told you about?”
Chu Hanting turned him to face him directly, looking into his eyes, and said seriously, “About your father. I know now.”
Su Mu paused – so that’s what he meant.
It wasn’t surprising that Chu Hanting knew, given that Liu Yu worked at this hospital.
“Don’t worry, I’ve had Liu Yu prepare the best medical team. Mr. Su’s cancer will definitely be cured.”
“Mm,” Su Mu made a small sound.
He wasn’t certain about a complete cure either, though doctors had said the chances were over 90%. He’d already intervened in this second life.
He didn’t want to think about the possibility it might not be curable, so he’d been numbing himself, convincing himself that they would definitely save his father this time.
But realistically, who could guarantee 100%?
When Chu Hanting brought it up, his taut nerves suddenly relaxed, like a round balloon being punctured and rapidly deflating.
Su Mu’s expression took on a tinge of sadness.
Chu Hanting knew that words couldn’t change what had happened, but seeing Su Mu’s expression, he knew he needed a shoulder to lean on.
So he’d offer his!
Chu Hanting reached out with his large hands, one supporting Su Mu’s waist, the other cradling the back of his head, pulling him close.
“Su Mu, it’s alright. Mr. Su will get better. Relax, breathe.”
Chu Hanting guided Su Mu’s tense body, helping him adjust his breathing and slowly relax.
Suddenly feeling the warm chest against his head, with that familiar comforting scent, Su Mu’s body instantly relaxed. He let himself collapse completely, resting his upper body against Chu Hanting’s embrace, head pressed against him.
His arms wrapped around Chu Hanting’s trim waist.
They remained silent together.
Chu Hanting knew Su Mu needed quiet right now, so he said nothing, just gently patting his back in comfort.
