Chapter 340 Did I Make the Wrong Choice? (Seeking Monthly Tickets, Seeking Recommendations)

For Zhu Yiting, this was the most difficult New Year she had ever experienced in her life.

Although she didn't have to work at the hospital during the New Year this year, because of Wang Jiancheng's situation, she still spent the holiday in the hospital.

Spending the New Year in the hospital isn't anything new for a surgeon. The hospital tends to be livelier than usual during the New Year, with special dinners prepared in the cafeteria, and doctors and the young nurses putting together some performances, creating a festive atmosphere that can sometimes even be more pronounced than at home.

But this year... Thinking of this, Zhu Yiting couldn't help but heave a deep sigh. Since Wang Jiancheng was diagnosed with cancer, she had probably sighed more than she had in the previous thirty years of her life.

Sometimes, Zhu Yiting couldn't help but wonder, if she hadn't followed the ambulance that day, if she hadn't encountered Chen Yu, and if she hadn't invited him to the reunion, would none of what followed have happened?

It seemed that ever since she met him again, misfortune continually befell her. Her husband suddenly vomited blood during the reunion, requiring hospitalization, and no one was available to perform the surgery. When he finally did get surgery, bleeding from the stomach turned into stomach cancer, and just as they managed to remove the tumor, they found it had spread to the liver...

It felt as though there was an invisible thread making everything she experienced increasingly miserable, as if she were cursed.

If it were only these things, Zhu Yiting wouldn't have felt the need to sigh so much. Although the misfortunes that befell her were certainly unlucky, they weren't insurmountable for her.

It was simply a matter of having an additional family member with serious cancer, requiring her care and support for the entire family from now on.

For someone like Zhu Yiting, who aspired from a young age to be a strong independent woman, such difficulties weren't enough to bring her down. To make her give in, it would have to be even worse.

However, what's missed is missed. Even if she now desired to be Pan Jinlian, Chen Yu was no Ximen Qing.

Although such absurd thoughts popped into her mind, Zhu Yiting was not the type of woman to resort to any means necessary. She continued to fulfill her duties as a wife, caring for Wang Jiancheng and, after consulting his parents, she ultimately agreed to the healing approach proposed by Chen Yu.

Convincing Wang Jiancheng himself took quite some time, but eventually, under Zhu Yiting's firm hand, his so-called objections became irrelevant. The final decision was for him to go to Japan to receive the first dan of healing, and once his condition stabilized, he would only need to visit the hospital affiliated with Chen Yu's alma mater, which cooperated with Tokyo University Medical School Hospital, once a month for check-ups and medication.

Despite Wang Jiancheng's persistent complaints, Zhu Yiting felt very satisfied with the outcome. At least this matter could finally be put to rest, and she no longer had to worry about it.

"Yiting!" Just as Zhu Yiting couldn't help but let out a sigh, the class monitor carrying a bag of fruit appeared at the door of the hospital room, "Why are you sighing here? Is your husband's condition not optimistic? Should I ask Chen Yu for help?"

"It's nothing, the issue has been resolved." Seeing the class monitor enter, Zhu Yiting quickly showed her a tired smile, "Chen Yu has agreed to help transfer Jiancheng to a hospital in Japan for healing. The follow-up arrangements have been made, and there's no more trouble. But why have you come, Jingyun?"

As Li Qian's sister, the class monitor, also surnamed Li, was called Li Jingyun. She had a good friendship with Zhu Yiting since their student days, and their relationship had always been good.

"We were classmates, so I came to see how Wang Jiancheng was doing." As she spoke, Li Jingyun shifted her gaze to Wang Jiancheng, only to see him lying on the hospital bed, motionless as if asleep.

Noticing Li Jingyun's attention on Wang Jiancheng, Zhu Yiting explained, "He's just been given a sedative and has fallen asleep. He was being troublesome earlier, thinking that Chen Yu didn't want to perform surgery on him because he wanted to watch him die. I had no choice but to sedate him. With his condition like this, he can't afford to be too agitated."

"Ah, it's hard to tell. Aside from being a bit too calculating and prone to getting carried away when things go his way, Wang Jiancheng wasn't too bad as a person. But now that he's severely ill, he's turned out like this," Li Jingyun, as the class monitor, naturally knew Wang Jiancheng well. Although she didn't like him much, she didn't think he was a terrible person. But his illness this time made Li Jingyun realize that appearances can be deceiving.

"Maybe it's because he was too harsh in his scheming against Chen Yu back then, and now he's haunted by his own demons, fearing that Chen Yu would seek revenge?" Zhu Yiting had never shared the past grudges between Wang Jiancheng and Chen Yu with Li Jingyun, but today, for some reason, she felt the urge to get it off her chest. So she pulled Li Jingyun aside and began to whisper about the past...@@@@
