Seeing the doctor’s solemn expression, Lu Huai knew that there might be something wrong with the examination report.

Before he could stop the doctor, Pei Xin had already heard their conversation.

She hurried over. “What happened? Is everything okay?”

The doctor looked at Lu Huai in panic, but Pei Xin did not give in. “I’m the child’s mother. If you have anything to say, just say it. I… 1 can take it.”

Ling Jin also walked over and used his eyes to signal Ling Lin to hug her tighter. Pei Xin then took a few deep breaths and calmed her emotions.

“Let’s go to the doctor’s office to get the examination report.” Lu Huai pushed her out. It was not appropriate to talk about these things in front of the child.

Pei Xin understood what he meant and followed him out of the ward. Only then did they arrive at the doctor’s office.

“Doctor, tell me straight. What’s wrong with Ling Lin? Is it bad? Is there a bone fracture? Or…” Pei Xin didn’t dare to continue. She clearly saw that Ling Lin was in a good condition just now. Was it something that was internal?

The doctor deliberated and said, “There’s no need to worry for now. It was just a scratch. We’ve done a CT scan of his brain. It’s confirmed that he’s fine. He fainted because he was frightened. The trauma isn’t serious either.”

Hearing the doctor’s words, Pei Xin’s shoulders relaxed a little, but Lu Huai knew that the doctor probably had another thing coming that he hadn’t said.

“CEO Lu asked us to do a full-body check-up on the child. Although the car crash is fine, but…” The doctor looked at Lu Huai with a guilty conscience. When he saw Lu Huai nod, he said, “1 found a tumor on the child’s neck, so I did a checkup and found that the child has papilla cancer.”

“C-cancer?” Pei Xin almost lost her balance. Lu Huai reached out and held on to her.

She did not understand what the doctor meant, but when she heard the word cancer she broke down. “How is that possible? How old is he? How can he have cancer?”

The doctor quickly comforted her.

“Miss Pei, please take a few deep breaths. This kind of cancer is very common in children, but it’s usually benign. It’s just that the child’s situation is a little special now. 1 did a blood test on him and found that there were no immune T cells or anti-cancer factors in his blood.

“But it doesn’t matter. Medicine is very advanced now. As long as the child’s biological parents each take a tube of blood and cultivate enough immune T cells, there is a fifty percent chance that the child will recover. Besides, your son is in a stable condition. You don’t have to worry too much.”

The doctor thought that his words were very accurate. It was quite simple for most families to follow.

However, when she heard his words, the color on Pei Xin’s face drained. “Must it be both parents? Can’t he just use my blood?”

She quickly rolled up her sleeves and said, “I can draw two tubes of blood. 1 don’t care how much blood he needs, as long as it can save my son!”

It was easy to piece the information together for the doctor — it seemed that the child’s father was not in the picture.

The doctor shook his head helplessly. “There’s no other way. I suggest you discuss it with the child’s father. It’s just a little blood. It won’t hurt him. He won’t have to pay too much to save the child.”

The doctor felt that even if the couple was divorced or had a child out of marriage, the other party would not refuse to save his biological son.

However, what he didn’t know was that Pei Xin did not know who the child’s biological father was either!

Pei Xin didn’t know how she left the doctor’s office. She didn’t dare to return to the ward and didn’t know how to face Ling Jin and Ling Lin.

She covered her face with her hands and sobbed softly. Then, she slowly leaned against the wall and dropped to her knees.

Lu Huai felt inexplicably annoyed at her small demeanor. He reached out a few times but still withdrew his hand.

“There there.” His tone was a little stiff. “It’s okay if you don’t know who the father is. I can help you. Tell me exactly what happened back then.”

Pei Xin swiftly raised her head, her eyes filled with surprise, but her eyes immediately dimmed.

That incident had been a huge blow to her as it was the tipping point to her downfall. She did not want to recall what had happened back then on her own. How could she tell an outsider about what had happened back then?

Lu Huai frowned the entire time. He didn’t like Pei Xin crying.

Every time she cried, he would feel annoyed. This was an emotion that he had never felt before.

“There’s no need to.” Pei Xin slowly stood up. “This is my family matter. 1 will handle it myself..”
