Chapter 990: Coughing Blood

How could Wanting possibly respond?

She simply didn’t care.

“Mom, it’s already late.

You should go back to your room and rest.”

“And your brother?”

“The anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet.

He won’t wake up for a while.

Just let him lie here; nothing will happen.”

Madam Ye looked at her in disbelief, “How can you talk like that?

He is your brother!”

“In the future, if I’m not around, the only ones you two siblings can rely on are each other.

Why are you so indifferent towards him?!”

Wanting was suddenly reprimanded and was momentarily stunned.

Just as she was about to speak, Madam Ye started coughing violently.

She hurriedly supported her, but Madam Ye pushed her away hard, with such force that she fell onto the bed herself.

Clutching her chest, the more she coughed, the paler she became.

Her whole body shook, as if she was about to cough up a lung.

Madam Ye covered her mouth, and when she removed her hand, there was blood on her palm.

“Mom!”

Wanting was shocked, “You’re coughing blood?”

Madam Ye pressed her hand down, not looking at her, “No, you saw wrong.”

“I didn’t see wrong, you were coughing blood.

How long has this been happening?”

Madam Ye did not answer.

She stood up, nervously looking around, and grabbed a few tissues to vigorously wipe her palm.

“Stop wiping, let me see.”

Wanting chased after her, but as soon as she reached out, Madam Ye dodged her, “Enough, I just got upset, that’s why this happened.

Don’t make a big deal out of it.”

“Mom…”

“You have to take care of your brother.

I’m getting old, I can’t manage anymore.”

“Mom!”

“I know it’s hard for you.

If it’s really impossible, there’s only one option for us mother and son…”

“Mom!” Wanting finally couldn’t take it anymore, “Go ahead and try saying what you were going to say!”

Madam Ye trembled all over.

They rarely argued because of Ye Cheng, but whenever he was brought up, the balance in Madam Ye’s heart tilted.

As long as it wasn’t too much, Wanting would just let it go in one ear and out the other.

But using death as a threat, she absolutely could not accept it.

“Madam, I’m afraid she can’t let your son rely on her.”

Yaen Chi had been listening at the door for a long time, finally waiting for Wanting to explode.

If she didn’t, he would have stepped in.

What kind of mother is this?

“It’s you,” Madam Ye recognized him.

Maybe because of the outsider, her expression changed slightly and she became subdued, “What do you mean?”

“Your son’s surgery costs fifty thousand, and there’s ongoing treatment.

The expenses must be covered, at least starting at a hundred thousand.

Wanting just borrowed fifty thousand from me, which is already more than enough for your son.

Who do you think should repay this money?”

Madam Ye was flustered and blurted out, “It’s money Wanting borrowed from you, she…

she will repay it.”

Wanting was filled with disappointment.

Yaen Chi supported her discreetly.

Once she was steady, he withdrew his hand.

His expression gave away nothing of his feelings, his voice gentle, only the sneer at the corner of his mouth betrayed a hint of coldness, “So you’re saying that for the subsequent treatment costs, she has to handle everything; she has to repay the money alone?”

Madam Ye hesitantly nodded, “Wanting will agree.”

“Have you asked her?”

“No need to ask, she’s his sister, she should…”

“Why should I?” Wanting wiped her tears, scoffing, “Do I owe him?”

Madam Ye said nothing, not daring to meet her eyes.

Something suddenly snapped in Wanting’s mind, and she scrutinized Madam Ye, “Is there some money left from selling the villa?”

“Why are you asking about that?!”

“So it’s true,” Madam Ye’s reaction confirmed Wanting’s suspicion, “Why not use that money?”
