Chapter 1063: Regretting Not Listening to Grandma!

~8 min read 1,407 words

Tang Yu left the hospital room.

Suddenly, Dou Fanggang was held tightly by his wife.

Dou Fanggang felt an unprecedented warmth, and his physical pain vanished in an instant.

Ever since learning he had cancer, Dou Fanggang had kept his nerves tightly wound.

He chose to shut himself off.

Although he had requested that his condition not be leaked, the outside world had actually known for a long time.

Dou Fanggang actually knew he was merely deceiving himself.

Not wanting the outside world to know his condition was just a cover for his inner panic!

He did not want his fragility to be revealed.

He dared not face his illness squarely.

He chose to avoid medical treatment!

He did not know what the future would hold!

Now, his inner knot had finally been untied with the joint help of Tang Yu and his son, Tang Ye.

Sometimes, a person's emotions can dictate their physical state.

Overnight, Dou Fanggang was clearly different; his spirit and vitality had returned!

"Stop crying, isn't there good news now?"

His wife wiped away her tears, "Husband, I'm sorry. For so many years, I haven't cared for you enough. I haven't taken good care of you."

Dou Fanggang looked at her in surprise, "Where is this coming from?"

His wife sighed, "All this time, I've been very dissatisfied with you. I was always complaining to you, and I regretted marrying you. I often lost my temper with you. I recently saw a conclusion that said the reason men get cancer is because they are angered into it. Don't worry, I will never be like that again. Will you forgive me?"

Although his wife was over fifty, she had been well protected by Dou Fanggang.

Her world was very simple!

Dou Fanggang laughed in spite of himself, "You, you're starting to let your imagination run wild again. Some people say smoking and drinking are bad and easily lead to lung cancer, yet many old people who both smoke and drink live to be ninety-nine, while those who don't smoke or drink might not even make it past sixty. A person's fate is determined by heaven; it cannot be narrowly blamed on one cause."

His wife gripped Dou Fanggang's hand tightly and said with regret, "Ever since you got sick, I realized you are the most precious treasure in my life. If it weren't for you, I couldn't have lived so easily and freely.

Also, have you really decided to have the surgery at this hospital? Dean Tang's medical skills are certainly good, but I think we could find better doctors..."

Dou Fanggang waved his hand and said in a firm tone, "No, I will have the surgery at this hospital. The diagnostic report from the surgical team at the Cleveland Clinic made me see through many things. In the eyes of many doctors, I am nothing more than a tool for them to make money; when they perform surgery on me, they consider how to maximize their profits.

However, Dean Tang is different.

I am a human, not a commodity!

He is very sincere and wants to cure my illness from the bottom of his heart."

Seeing Dou Fanggang say this, his wife felt relieved.

"Since Dean Tang can untie your inner knot, it proves he is the most correct surgeon. I am already satisfied that you can receive treatment actively. I support your decision!"

Dou Qingqing and Tang Ye walked into the hospital room at this moment.

Seeing Tang Ye, a trace of gratitude appeared in Dou Fanggang's eyes, "Little Tang, thank you for your help this time."

Seeing the change in Dou Fanggang's tone and that his spirit and vitality were clearly different, Tang Ye let out a sigh of relief, "Chairman, you have helped me a lot, and I have always been grateful. Seeing you pull yourself together, I am happy from the bottom of my heart. You are a strong person; I believe you will definitely defeat the illness this time and get better soon."

Dou Fanggang nodded slightly, "Yes, I should adjust my mindset."

Walking outside the hospital room, Dou Qingqing made a phone call to Yao Mei.

"Grandma, my dad has made his decision to have the surgery in Hanzhou. He has designated Tang Ye's father, Dean Tang, to be his surgeon."

Yao Mei had not come to the hospital with them, and she breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this news, "I have an understanding of Dean Tang; his level is very high. Your dad's choice is not wrong."

Hanging up the phone with Yao Mei, Dou Qingqing looked at Tang Ye and said softly, "Thank you for accompanying me on this trip. If it weren't for you, I truly wouldn't know what to do."

Tang Ye waved his hand and encouraged her, "The Chairman needs surgery now and must rest quietly. Although I emphasized to my father that his condition must be kept confidential, there is no such thing as an airtight wall; the outside world must have already gotten wind of it. You must be extra careful at this time and guard the Aiou Group well; this is your father's life's work."

A grave look appeared in Dou Qingqing's eyes, "My dad has already made arrangements. He knows which people on the board of directors are restless, and by taking advantage of this opportunity, he can just happen to clear them out of the team."

Tang Ye discovered another side of Dou Qingqing.

In the business world, she was no novice.

"I still have matters to attend to and must return to Yechuan County. If you need anything, contact me at any time."

"Okay, I'll have the driver take you."

Tang Ye smiled, "Then I'll trouble you."

Dou Qingqing saw Tang Ye off and returned to the hospital room, only to find that her father had already fallen asleep.

Her mother pulled Dou Qingqing outside and said with emotion, "Tang Ye came just in time. Your dad has been tormented by the illness for so many days; this is the first time I've seen him sleep so soundly."

Dou Qingqing held her mother's hand and said softly, "Mom, it's been hard on you during this time too. Your hair has turned much whiter."

Her mother said helplessly, "Your dad has aged much more. I used to always complain about him, but actually, I had figured it out long ago. I was just complaining that your grandma interfered with my marriage. Your dad is a very good husband. Your grandma's eye for choosing people is quite good. I actually regret it quite a bit now. I shouldn't have failed to listen to your grandma, which delayed you."

Dou Qingqing looked at her mother in surprise, "Delayed me? Where is this coming from?"

Her mother sighed, feeling extremely regretful.

"Your grandma was planning to set you and Tang Ye up at the time. I made an excuse that you were still in school and were still too young, so it wasn't treated as a serious matter."

Dou Qingqing had not expected there to be this layer of connection, so she comforted her, "I was indeed in school at the time, and your concerns were also correct. Besides, we already had each other's contact information back then. If there was truly a destined connection, it would have developed naturally without outside force. I wasn't mature enough at the time either, and I thought Grandma was just talking nonsense."

Her mother did not expect Dou Qingqing to consider things so maturely, "I used to think you were very childish and disobedient. Actually, you are much more sensible than I am. It is not easy for a person to meet the right person in this life. In the future, if you meet someone suitable, you must never hesitate again."

Hearing her mother say this, Dou Qingqing suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart.

In fact, she had felt a connection the very first time she saw Tang Ye, and they had things to talk about with each other.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have followed him and almost gotten on the bus on a whim.

Dou Qingqing had never expected this!

A few years later, that Deputy Town Mayor of a poverty-stricken town would once again dictate the fate of her closest kin.

Brushing past Tang Ye, to say there was no regret at all would clearly be impossible.
