Chapter 565 The New-Born and The Death (1)

The arrival of the child was like a surprise from heaven.

Su Yunjin couldn’t help calling Su Yicheng’s mother to tell her the good news, “Sis, I’m pregnant!”

“Really?” Mother Su was even happier than Su Yunjin. After she told Su Yunjin a bunch of things to pay attention to, she realized something. “I’ve told you so much all of a sudden. I’m sure you won’t remember. I’ll send an email to you later. You can print it out and read it carefully!”

“Okay!” Su Yunjin said happily, “I will read it once a day without missing a word until I can recite it backward!”

“Besides, you should resign from your job.” Mother Su said, “Pregnant women should not let themselves get tired in the first three months of pregnancy. Your job isn’t easy. I’m worried that you won’t be able to take it.”

“… Sis, I can’t resign.” Su Yunjin’s voice lowered. “Jiang Ye is ill. He’s currently hospitalized for treatment. We are spending a lot of money every day, while we don’t have much savings. In the future, our expenses will go up when raising our children. So, I have to work harder.”

“Jiang Ye is ill?” Mother Su was quite surprised. “When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I don’t want you to worry about me.” Su Yunjin paused and continued to say, “In fact, Jiang Ye has been sick for a long time. Now, his illness has developed to the terminal stage.”

Mother Su was silent for a long time. When she spoke again, her voice revealed a trace of heartache, “Yunjn, you’ve had a hard time recently, haven’t you?”

Everything was fine before Mother Su asked the question. But once she said it, Su Yunjin was unable to handle it.

After Jiang Ye was hospitalized, Su Yunjin swallowed back all the hards.h.i.+ps and uneasiness in her heart and showed a firm and optimistic look in front of Jiang Ye to make him feel at ease.

But Su Yicheng’s mother was different.

Since the death of Su Yunjin’s parents, Su Yicheng’s mother had been taking care of her. She could tell all her hards.h.i.+ps and uneasiness to her.

Su Yunjin sobbed and said, “Sister-in-law, I’m afraid he’ll leave me someday. If there’s no Jiang Ye in this world, I don’t know how to go on living.”

“Yunjin, don’t be afraid.” Mother Su comforted Su Yunjin in a soft voice. “I will help you.”

Mother Su’s help was transferring all her private money to Su Yunjin’s bank account.

But this matter was soon discovered by Su Hongyuan.

When Su Yunjin said that she wanted to break off their relations.h.i.+p, Su Hongyuan had once thought that she was just talking nonsense. He even thought that she would soon be unable to live a life of poverty and would come back to apologize to him.

However, the truth was that Su Yunjin had not given in for two years. She was working and attending cla.s.ses at the same time. She was not enjoying an easy life, but it was definitely not as bad as he thought.

This time, Su Yunjin suddenly needed money. So something must have happened.

Su Hongyuan asked someone to investigate and effortlessly found out about Jiang Ye’s serious illness and hospitalization.

This was an excellent opportunity for Su Hongyuan.

Su Hongyuan froze his wife’s bank account and did not allow Mother Su to provide any help to Su Yunjin. Then, he contacted Su Yunjin.

He said on the phone, “Yunjin, you don’t need to get married to Mr. Cui now. You can just come back and stay with him for a while. In exchange, I will provide Jiang Ye with the best medical conditions. You love Jiang Ye, don’t you? You won’t refuse, will you?”

“Su Hongyuan, I have never seen anyone filthier and more shameless than you!” Su Yunjin was furious to the extreme. “It’s true that Jiang Ye is ill and we really need money now. But don’t think that you are the only one in the world who can make money. No matter how down and out I am, you can’t make use of me!”

Su Yunjin didn’t tell Jiang Ye about this. She just worked even harder.

Jiang Ye saw it and felt the pain in his heart. Su Yunjin was pregnant now, and she should resign in order to stay at home to nourish the fetus.

After a long period of consideration, Jiang Ye and Su Yunjin arrived at a discussion.

“Yunjin, I want to leave the hospital.”

Su Yunjin was sitting on the edge of the bed, reading a work file. When hearing this, she looked up at Jiang Ye in surprise and said, “The doctor didn’t say you can leave here.”

“I want to get out of the hospital.” Jiang Ye calmly a.n.a.lyzed it. “I stay here with a lot of expenses every day. If it goes on like this, our savings will be used up soon. But if I leave the hospital, it will be much easier for us.”

“But you’ll be in danger if you leave the hospital.” Su Yunjin stopped Jiang Ye. “I know what you’re thinking. Don’t say it again. Jiang Ye, you’re not a burden on me. Instead, you’re my life. I won’t let you leave the hospital. Don’t worry about the money. My sister-in-law gave me a sum of money a few days ago. It’s enough for us to hang on for a while.”

Jiang Ye looked at Su Yunjin and helplessly found that he, as a sick man, could do nothing apart from apologizing to her.

Su Yunjin saw through Jiang Ye’s mind and kissed his lips to stop him. “If you really feel sorry, don’t let it get worse. Get better asap. I have heard that delivering a baby is horrible. You’ll have to accompany me to the delivery room at that time.”

Jiang Ye held Su Yunjin in his arms and said, “Okay. But you have to promise me that you won’t get too tired. Take good care of yourself.”

Su Yunjin smiled and said, “Don’t worry. My colleagues know that I’m pregnant, and they’re all helping me. I’m not tired at all when I’m working.”

Su Yunjin was the only one who knew that it had just been an understatement.

In fact, in order to get more pay, she worked a lot harder than before. Her colleagues told her not to work so hard. But she didn’t know how to tell them that she had to work hard now.

April soon came, and the weather was warmer. After Su Yunjin got a customer’s contract in the company, she felt the fetus move for the first time.

She was so excited that it seemed like she had hit the jackpot. She took a taxi to the hospital and wanted to share this good news with Jiang Ye.

However, as soon as she arrived at the hospital, the nurse told her that Jiang Ye had been sent to the ICU.

Su Yunjin felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on her head in the dead of winter. She asked in a panic, “Why?”

“A few minutes ago, Jiang Ye suddenly fainted, and his vital signs changed dramatically.” The nurse said, “Miss Su, the doctor is doing his best to save him. But you should also be mentally prepared.”

Su Yunjin ran to the emergency room and waited for three hours. Finally, the attending doctor came out.

She rushed up with red eyes and grabbed the doctor’s hand as if holding a life-saving piece of driftwood. “How is Jiang Ye?”

“Don’t worry, he has been saved.” The doctor patted Su Yunjin on the shoulder. “But his vital signs are weaker, and he needs to be transferred to the intensive care unit. That is to say, from today on, he will have huge hospital expenses every day.”

“I still have money.” Su Yunjin grabbed the doctor’s hand and said, “Give him the best medicine, and the best of everything. I want him to live. Doctor, please, let him live.”

“We will try our best.” The doctor held Su Yunjin and said, “You are pregnant now, so don’t be too sad. Otherwise, the little baby in your belly will be sad with you.”

Su Yunjin touched her belly, which had not yet begun to swell. She squatted down and hugged herself, sobbing helplessly.

She didn’t know how long Jiang Ye could hold on, nor did she know how long she herself could hold on.

Jiang Ye woke up three days later. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Su Yunjin sitting on the edge of the hospital bed in sterile clothes with a haggard face.

Knowing how long he had been in a coma, he held Su Yunjin’s hand and asked, “Are you frightened?”

Looking at Jiang Ye, Su Yunjin cried out and choked with sobs. She couldn’t say anything.

Three days were as long as three years to her.

However, as long as Jiang Ye woke up, she had nothing more to ask for.

When the doctor learned that Jiang Ye had woken up, he soon arranged another examination for him. The result was very bad. Every indicator of Jiang Ye was lower than normal. He was so weak that he needed someone to accompany him 24 hours a day.

Su Yunjin didn’t tell this result to Jiang Ye. She paid two nurses to accompany him and told him, “I have good news. A few days ago, I felt the fetus move.”

Jiang Ye touched Su Yunjin’s lower abdomen with his hand and said, “I really hope I can see him once.”

Su Yunjin covered Jiang Ye’s mouth and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. You still have to accompany him to grow up.”

Jiang Ye closed his eyes with a smile, indicating that he agreed with Su Yunjin’s words. But after a long time, he still had not opened his eyes again.

In the past three days, Jiang Ye had kept his eyes closed. Su Yunjin had become a frightened bird. She suddenly grabbed Jiang Ye’s arm and shouted, “Jiang Ye!”

“Yunjin.” Jiang Ye’s voice was very soft. “I feel a little tired. I want to sleep for a while.”

Su Yunjin shook her head instinctively. She was afraid that Jiang Ye wouldn’t wake up after sleeping again, but his physical strength was obviously not enough to support him.

“Mm,” she said, trying her best not to cry. “Fine. I’ll make some porridge for you. When you wake up, you can eat it.”

Jiang Ye didn’t respond. Su Yunjin quietly accompanied him for a while to confirm that he was really asleep before leaving the hospital.

For the next half month, Jiang Ye stayed in the ICU. At the cost of 1,000 dollars a day, Su Yunjin’s account was soon overwhelmed. Only a few dollars were left in her account, and she could only rely on her salary.

Her salary was not low, but the cost of the ICU was higher.

Along with the difficult financial situation, Jiang Ye’s condition was also getting worse and worse. Su Yunjin almost broke down.

In the end, it was a group of friends who worked together to temporarily alleviate Su Yunjin’s difficulties.

The summer was coming, Su Yunjin was already obviously pregnant. The company was afraid that there would be an accident, so they advised her to resign.

But now, Su Yunjin really needed this job. She talked to the boss seriously, and the company reluctantly agreed to let her continue to work.

During the rest of the time after work, Su Yunjin threw herself into the hospital to take care of Jiang Ye.

However, no matter how hard she tried, Jiang Ye’s condition was getting worse and worse. He was so thin that only his skin and bones were left. There was not a trace of blood on his face. He only woke up for less than two hours every day.

The doctor gave a notice of critical condition and told Su Yunjin that Jiang Ye couldn’t hold on any longer.

If he was lucky, he would leave while in a deep sleep.

If he was unfortunate, perhaps he would not be able to be saved with the next treatment.

Compared with Jiang Ye’s life, the fees for hospitalization and treatment didn’t seem to matter much. However, the hospital was not a public inst.i.tution after all, and Su Yunjin was in a dilemma of being forced to pay for his expenses every day.

Under such circ.u.mstances, Su Yunjin could not be at ease to nourish the fetus. As a woman who had been pregnant for a few months, her weight was almost the same as when she hadn’t been pregnant.

There were a few times when Jiang Ye wanted to give up, but Su Yunjin refused.

Su Yunjin cried and pleaded with Jiang Ye, “You have to at least watch the birth of the child.”

Jiang Ye held Su Yunjin and said, “But the doctor has said that I can’t live any longer. Yunjin, don’t waste money on me. Isn’t it better to let you live a better life with the child?”

“There is more money in the world, I can earn it at any time.” Su Yunjin cried and refused. “But you only have one life. Jiang Ye, I beg you, I won’t give up, and you can’t give up either, okay?”

Jiang Ye couldn’t bear to see Su Yunjin cry, and he couldn’t leave her alone in this world. He could only agree to her request.

He should only hang on for as long as he could.
