Li Susu's heart jumped up a bit.
"Aren't you going to cook noodles? At least satisfy my appetite, otherwise, what's the use of marrying you?"
She: "But I'm dressed like this..."
"Sister Mu won't come out."
In the end, Li Susu, with her face glowing red, cooked the noodles she was best at.
During the process, she kept worrying about Sister Mu coming out, but she didn't.
After Huo Sichen finished eating, as she wished, he kicked her out of the bedroom.
Because of his obsessive cleanliness, he couldn't stand her putting back on the underwear that she had worn all day.
Before going to sleep, Li Susu washed her clothes.
Then, she settled down for a peaceful sleep in the guest room.
The next day, Li Susu was woken up by an alarm clock she had set earlier.
Thinking of her father in the hospital, she quickly got out of bed.
Her clothes were already dry, so she put them on and then went to the bathroom.
On the shelf, there were new toiletries.
When Li Susu came downstairs, Huo Sichen was having breakfast.
The man glanced at her clothes and frowned slightly, "Move all your things over today."
"Okay."
She sat across from him in accordance with the rules. Sister Mu brought up a bowl of porridge.
Seeing that she hadn't touched it for a while, Huo Sichen sneered, "Doesn't it suit Mrs. Huo's taste?"
Before the Li Group went bankrupt, Li Susu was a lady raised with a golden spoon.
She knew he was mocking her.
"No, I'm not picky."
Huo Sichen's eyes were deep.
Li Susu, who was raised with a golden spoon, didn't have many of the issues typical of rich young ladies.
But that doesn't stop her heart from being as cold and hard as iron when she wants it to be.
Li Susu: "After eating, I have to go to the hospital to take care of my father."
Huo Sichen took a sip of porridge and teased, "Li He really has a filial daughter."
His snide comments left her silent, lips pressed together.
Sister Mu chuckled and said, "Madam, I'm not sure what you like to eat, so I arranged it according to the Young Master's taste."
Li Susu: "It's okay, I'm not fussy."
After finishing breakfast, she packed her bag to go to the hospital. Coincidently, Huo Sichen was also leaving for work.
But he did not plan to give her a ride on his way.
Watching the black Maybach drive past her, Li Susu patted her cheek, not minding it at all.
Huo Sichen despised her now, and he only married her out of spite for her having left him once before.
The worse she was off, the happier he would be.
At the hospital, Li Susu suddenly noticed a group of doctors rushing into her father's ward.
Her face changed immediately and she ran over in a panic.
Li's mother had been crying and was being persuaded to go outside by a nurse. Seeing her daughter, she cried even more heartbreakingly, "What do we do, Susu? Your father's condition suddenly worsened, he...he..."
"How could it be? Wasn't he fine just yesterday?"
"Your father has been hiding it from you. He...he has been coughing up blood several times..."
Li Susu turned pale.
She supported Li's mom, her body freezing cold.
She didn't know how long they waited until Li He's primary doctor finally stepped out of the single-person ward.
Li Susu immediately greeted him, "Dr. Lu, how's my dad?"
The middle-aged man glanced at the emotionally shattered Li's mother and said to her, "Come to my office."
Knowing he had something to say to her alone, Li Susu asked her mother to stay and look after her father.
Ten minutes later, her blood felt as if it had been drained from her body, leaving her shaky and unstable.
"You said...cancer cells have spread?"
"Yes, considering the current condition of your father, to be honest, I can't ensure the success of surgery."
Li Susu's eyes were turning red. She blinked her sore eyes and asked, "What's the success rate?"
Dr. Lu showed her a number, "Less than 20 percent."
"...Is there no other way?"
Dr. Lu had known Li's father before and seeing her in this state, he felt pity for her.
"It's not that there's no other way, but... it's a bit difficult."
