Stealing Your Heart

“Didn’t you normally cook what the children love to eat? Why are you so nice to me today?” Zong Qifeng looked up at Aunt Yu.

The latter did not know what to say all of a sudden.

Zhuang Zijin tried to explain for her, “Precisely because of that, so she’s trying to cater to our appetite now as well. H-hah.”

Zong Qifeng sighed. Looking at their expressions, it was obvious that they were aware of his condition. “I knew you’re gonna act this way, that’s why I didn’t say a word.”

Everyone lost their appetite by now, except for the two innocent children who knew nothing. Zong Yanxi served him some vegetables. “Grandpa, are you in a bad mood today?”

Zong Qifeng patted his granddaughter’s head, “No, I’m not. Even if I were, I’d be happy when I see you.” With that, he looked at everyone, “Come on, let’s eat!”

“Let’s eat.” Lin Xinyan had no appetite, but she still invited everyone to eat as she did not want the atmosphere to be too tensed. That wasn’t doing any good to Zong Qifeng’s condition.

A patient needed to always be in a good mood. That would make the treatment more effective.

After dinner, Lin Xinyan brought the baby upstairs. Zong Jinghao was in the room. Using work as an excuse, he skipped dinner. However, she knew he was worried about his father.

Pushing the bedroom door open, it was complete darkness inside. The curtains were not drawn and there was a silhouette sitting by the window. She walked in and switched on the bedside lamp. The dim yellow light brightened up the room a little. Then, she gently placed the baby on the bed before walking towards her husband and sit on his lap.

Zong Jinghao put his arms around her waist and buried his face into her arms. Lin Xinyan asked, “What did the doctor say?”

He did not say anything for the longest time.

Lin Xinyan could clearly feel that he was trembling slightly, and his lips and face against her were icy cold.

She planted a gentle kiss on his forehead. She knew how terrible he must have felt. “No matter what, the kids and I will stay by your side. I am thinking of giving Qin Ya the boutique at C City.”

Qin Ya had the ability to run a business.

This had been in her head for some time, but she couldn’t find the right time to propose it. Now, she believed Qin Ya would not reject her.

“We will stay by Dad. I won’t go anywhere and we will try our best to take care of him.” She cupped his face with her hands and made eye contact with him, “I feel terrible when you feel bad too.”

Zong Jinghao pushed her arms away and buried his face into her embrace again before speaking softly, “Give me some time to sort things out.”

Lin Xinyan did not say anything and merely hugged him.

After a long time.

“It’s lung cancer at the terminal stage. It has already spread, and there is a shadow in his brain.” Zong Jinghao mumbled from her embrace.

According to the doctor, it was very dangerous for the cancer cells to have spread to the brain. That left him with just one to three months to live. Otherwise, he could have more, perhaps up to 6 months.

This was a very cruel piece of news.
