Chapter 955: I’m Proud of You (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Xiaomo was holding Cuddlie when she got the phone call. All the color immediately drained from her face.

Her face felt ticklish when she put down the phone. Touching her cheeks, she realized that they were streaked with tears.

The news soon got out and the entire city panicked.

Su Xiaomo sat on the sofa in a state of stupor as she refreshed her WeChat repeatedly. Usually, He Jiayu would send her a message no matter how late he had to work or how many surgeries he had to perform.

But today, there was nothing.

To calm down, she checked her social media account and saw one of her friend’s post: All the medical staff that made contact with the patient should die with the patient. It would stop the flu spread all at once. Gimme a thumbs up if you agree with me.

Su Xiaomo burst into tears right away. She left a “f**k you” in the comments section and removed the person from her friends list.

Cuddlie could utter a few simple words now and she said in her baby voice, “Mama… no, no cry… kiss…”

She pursed her lips and kissed Su Xiaomo on the cheek.

The doorbell rang and Su Xiaomo dragged her exhausted body off the sofa to answer it. An Xiaxia had a panicked look in her eyes when the door opened.

“Momo!”

Tears welled up in An Xiaxia’s eyes when she saw Su Xiaomo cry.

“Don’t worry… It’s not like it’s SARS or bird flu. It’s probably just a minor influenza outbreak, and everything will be fine once they find the vaccine.” An Xiaxia walked in, too flustered to even take her shoes off. She started consoling Su Xiaomo right away.

Su Xiaomo tried her best to squeeze out a smile, which looked worse than a grimace.

An Xiaxia sat her down on the sofa, then made some milk for Cuddlie and ordered some takeaway for Su Xiaomo, making her eat it when it was delivered.

Cuddlie was a lamb. She fell asleep as soon as she was fed.

An Xiaxia took out two blankets, turned the TV on, and said in a tone as cheerful as she could manage, “Shall we watch some variety show? Or would you prefer a movie?”

Su Xiaomo clutched her blanket and wouldn’t utter a word.

An Xiaxia picked a movie and played it.

It was an old movie filled with zombies, hospital scenes, and shoot-outs…

However, the tone of the movie was rather grim. Whenever the characters narrowly escaped death and things seemed to look hopeful, they were confronted with even more difficulties. The despair never seemed to end.

“Ahem… Let’s watch something else.” An Xiaxia picked up the remote control, but Su Xiaomo murmured, “Let’s just watch this.”

“Alright.”

Su Xiaomo stared at the main character on the screen. He was a handsome doctor and an expert at his job. His smile was unbelievably gentle.

Just like He Jiayu.

He Jiayu looked just as attractive with a scalpel in his hand. He was equally attentive to all his patients and in his operations.

However… as a doctor, even if he could save all the patients in the world, he still couldn’t save himself.

An Xiaxia felt a throbbing pain in her chest when she saw the tears roll down Su Xiaomo’s cheeks.

She rarely saw Su Xiaomo cry. Back in middle school when she messed around with the boys, she would still laugh and tell dirty jokes even when her head was cracked open.

She had always thought that Su Xiaomo was incapable of being fragile.

Wrapping her arms around her friend, An Xiaxia said, “It’s ok… I’m sure everything will turn out just fine. Momo, don’t cry…”

Her phone vibrated, which startled Su Xiaomo. She grabbed it in a hurry.

There was a red dot on the green WeChat icon.

“I… I can’t do it. Please check it for me…” Su Xiaomo stuffed the phone into An Xiaxia’s hands, and clenched her fists.

An Xiaxia tapped it open, and then was more excited than Su Xiaomo. “It’s from He Jiayu! He Jiayu sent you a message!”
