Chapter 472: How Could I Be Angry?

Fu Mingxue shook her head. "Don’t worry, I’m not angry. I just don’t know how to console her. Brother, you should focus on comforting her for now. I’m leaving!"

With that, she turned and left.

’Angry?’

’Not at all.’

To be honest, she still felt a little sympathy for Gao Lan.

After all, what happened to her would be hard for anyone to endure.

That said, she wasn’t about to be a punching bag for someone else’s rage.

Qin Wenze watched her leave and couldn’t help but sigh.

Then, he returned to the hospital room.

Gao Lan was still crying.

Mrs. Qin was also at her wit’s end.

"Mom, why don’t you go home for a bit? You can come back later."

"Alright." If Mrs. Qin hadn’t been worried about Gao Lan’s health, she wouldn’t have wanted to stay a moment longer.

Still, some things had to be said.

She spoke earnestly, "Gao Lan, I know this has been a terrible blow, but what’s done is done. All we can do is look forward. Right now, the most important thing is to focus on your recovery. Your health is your own, after all."

"Besides, even if you really can’t have any more children, you still have a long life ahead of you. It’s not the end of the world. Your life doesn’t have to revolve around children. There’s still a bright future waiting for you."

Gao Lan gave a tearful, bitter laugh. "What bright future could I possibly have?"

Mrs. Qin realized she couldn’t get through to her.

She felt that no matter what anyone said now, Gao Lan wouldn’t hear a word of it.

"Just focus on your recovery. We’ll deal with everything else later. Your health is what matters most."

After telling her son to take good care of his wife, she left the room.

The reason she’d been gone earlier was that she’d been in the old matriarch’s room.

The matriarch had to wait for the doctor to finish their rounds before she could be discharged.

So, Mrs. Qin decided not to go back there again.

She headed straight home.

Just as Mrs. Qin reached her front door, a familiar neighbor came over to ask, "How’s your daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Qin sighed. "She lost the baby. She’s still in the hospital."

Of course, there was no way she would mention that Gao Lan couldn’t have any more children.

The neighbor sighed in sympathy upon hearing the news.

Mrs. Qin was in no mood to chat, so she just went inside the courtyard.

Aunt Li saw her return and immediately came out to greet her. "I was just about to take some soup to the hospital."

Mrs. Qin nodded. "Alright, you can take it over. By the way, did the two children go to school?"

She had been at the hospital all night and had no idea what was going on at home.

The state her grandson had been in yesterday was also deeply worrying to her.

"Last night, Aunt Fu took them over to her courtyard house. The two of them are staying there. When they came back this morning, it sounded like the brother and sister both wanted to stay there for a while, and the master agreed."

This news shocked Mrs. Qin.

"They’re staying over there? Aunt Fu has to look after four children by herself. How will she ever manage?"

Aunt Li nodded. "I know, right? But it seems Qin Yue and Qiaoqiao are quite happy about it, and the master agreed. He told me to pack their clothes so he can take them over this afternoon."

Mrs. Qin was about to object.

But then she thought about the atmosphere at home, especially with Gao Lan due to be discharged in a few days.

It was only normal that the two children were scared and didn’t want to be at home.

"—Since the children want to stay there, it might be for the best if they stay for a while."

Aunt Li nodded. "Alright. I’ll pack their clothes when I get back from the hospital."

"I’ll pack their clothes. You don’t need to worry about it."

"Alright."

After agreeing, Aunt Li headed to the kitchen.

Mrs. Qin had barely slept at all the previous night.

She was sick with worry.

Things had finally, after so much trouble, settled down. And now this had to happen. What were they going to do?

How were Gao Lan and Qin Yue supposed to interact from now on?
