Chapter 1880: Li Hang Has Cancer

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“I’m sorry, ma’am, we can’t tell you if you’re not the patient’s family. Doctor-patient confidentiality.”‘

The way the doctor was acting had only made Wu Tong more worried and anxious that Li Hang might get something serious.

She managed to comfort herself by thinking that Li Hang would examine his body once every half a year. If he were sick, it would’ve been found out ages ago.

After calming herself down, she quickly called Li Qingcang.

Her son didn’t wake Ye Tianxin up and immediately drove to the hospital.

“Doctor, I’m the patient’s son.”

The doctor looked at Li Qingcang before turning to look at Wu Tong. “And, she is?”

“She’s my mother.”

The doctor did not ask them any further questions and instead showed them an X-ray film. “This is the patient’s stomach,” he added, pointing to a completely dark patch. “As you can see, we have a dark spot here...” the doctor hesitated before continuing.” The doctor paused before continuing. “The patient has been diagnosed with Stage one gastric cancer.”

Not only did the news stun Li Qingcang, but even Wu Tong could not believe what she had just heard too.

The revelation stunned not just Li Qingcang, but also Wu Tong, who couldn’t believe what she’d just heard.

Wu Tong questioned, “Doctor, are you sure?” “He’s always been healthy, and he’d get his body tested every six months; there’s no way we’ll miss cancer...”

“The cancer is still in its early stages. It’s something that can be healed with surgery. All we have to do now is remove the tumor, but the problem is that the tumor the patient has is unique. Not many doctors will be willing to perform this surgery.” the doctor said, seemingly unconcerned with her demeanor.

Wu Tong immediately understood the situation after what the doctor had said. Although Li Hang’s cancer was not serious, surgery was the only way for him to get rid of it. Normal treatment would not work for him.

“D-doctor, what about chemotherapy instead of the surgery? Will it work?”

“Chemotherapy will only extend the patient’s life and he will be in a lot of pain throughout the process.”

The pain that one had to endure during chemotherapy was something a normal person could barely endure.

Wu Tong’s heart started to hurt, and she had to take a seat on the couch. She couldn’t believe Li Hang, who was always so active, had suddenly been unwell and been diagnosed with stomach cancer.

“Thank you, doctor. We’ll take our leave first...” Li Qingcang helped his weak mother out of the doctor’s office.

“Cang... This is all my fault,” Wu Tong whispered in the corridor, looking at her son. “I knew his stomach was weak, yet I still let him eat cold things...”

“Mom, this is not your fault; you should not take responsibility for it.”

Wu Tong, on the other hand, could not help but blame herself.

“Cang, since the doctor isn’t willing to perform the surgery, can you get the detail back to Ye Linlang? You should stay by Tianxin’s side as well. Don’t worry about your father. I’ll stay here with him.”

“No, mom,” Li Qingcang refused. “I’ll stay here with dad.”

“It’s okay. He needs me,” Wu Tong insisted.

Li Qingcang, to his surprise, was adamant on the matter. “Mom, I don’t want your judgment to be affected by dad’s condition.”

The son was concerned that Li Hang would use his condition to pleadingly request Wu Tong’s remarriage, and that she would consent after viewing his plight.

“Cang... Seriously...” groaned Wu Tong. She was the one who finally delivered the report to the Lang Garden.

She assumed Xie Xuning and Ye Linlang had already known Li Qingcang had gone out since letting him depart in the middle of the night would have been a major issue.
