Chapter 1053: Chapter 1054: Concealment (3)
Tears flowed like a fountain, even if she couldn’t bear to refuse Xia Ximeng, how could she agree to such a request?
"Auntie, I really can’t do it... sob..."
Xia Ximeng also understood that this request was indeed too cruel for her.
She loved her son so deeply, how could she keep this secret from him?
"Alright, you can speak, and once you do, I’ll leave far away, so that Yuanyuan won’t be trapped in an abyss of pain for failing to save me." These words carried a hint of threat.
And Huo Yishan was indeed threatened.
"No, you can’t leave."
"Then you have to promise Auntie."
"Please don’t force me..."
The next moment, Xia Ximeng suddenly lifted the bedding and was about to get out of bed.
Huo Yishan was so shocked she didn’t know what to do, "What are you doing!?"
"Leaving country A now."
"No... you can’t leave!"
"If you don’t promise, I’ll leave."
Huo Yishan hesitated, unable to decide.
Xia Ximeng’s legs had already slipped off the edge of the bed.
"I promise!"
"Really?"
She nodded, tears streaming down even more than before, choking, "I will try not to tell Li Yuan..."
"Not try, you must! Shanshan, actually Auntie just doesn’t have much time, look at me now, don’t I seem the same as a healthy person?"
Looking up at her pale face, Huo Yishan was heartbroken.
Apart from that pale face, she was indeed as before.
"But Auntie, doing this to Li Yuan, isn’t it too cruel... if he knows... after knowing the truth, if you’re really gone, he would also be plunged into an abyss of pain..."
"I know, don’t worry about that. When Auntie really can’t stand anymore, I’ll tell Yuanyuan everything. But for now, I just want to spend some time with you, so please promise Auntie not to tell Yuanyuan during this period."
Huo Yishan hesitated for a moment, "Is it really like that?"
Xia Ximeng smiled, "Of course, because once my condition worsens after some time, it won’t be something I can hide, right?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yishan seemed to realize that by then, Li Yuan would still find out, so was Auntie trying to conceal it only for a while?
Looking at Xia Ximeng, Huo Yishan still couldn’t guarantee whether she would keep it concealed till the end.
"Help Auntie, go greet that Doctor, and say that apart from you, not to tell anyone about my condition."
Seeing her seem to calm down gradually, Xia Ximeng spoke again.
After a while, Huo Yishan hesitantly stood up, her voice hoarse, "Alright..."
However, just as she stood up and turned her head, she saw Li Yuan rushing into the ward with a look of urgency.
In the instant their eyes met filled with urgency, Huo Yishan froze like a statue.
Seeing her obvious crying appearance, Li Yuan felt a pang in his heart and asked distressed, "What’s wrong with you?"
"Yuanyuan."
At this moment, seeing her son arrive, Xia Ximeng spoke up.
Li Yuan lifted his gaze, and upon seeing his pale-faced mother with an IV drip, he rushed to the bedside, "Mom, what’s wrong with you?"
Xia Ximeng first glanced at a still-frozen Huo Yishan, then smiled slightly, "What could happen, still the old stuff, today fainted from anemia while shopping with Shanshan, thanks to Shanshan for bringing me to the hospital."
Hearing it was just anemia, Li Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
But seeing his mother fainted several times due to anemia, he couldn’t help but still worry a bit, "Mom, your anemia is too severe, I’ll arrange a full body check-up for you later."
