Fairy From An Alien World Chapter 6

Outside the window, it was already raining lightly.

It's rainy in autumn in Jingping, and it gets cloudy every three days. Lara looked out the window and sighed softly. She didn't stop for a few minutes and then went out with an umbrella.

It is easy to have unclear vision when driving on rainy days, and the road conditions are also more likely to be congested. Lara drove carefully and was very alert at every turn, for fear that if she could not see clearly, something would go wrong.

She could always motivate herself in critical moments for various reasons. For example, this time, when she was driving on a rainy day, all she could think about was what Claire would do if she had a problem and she was alone in the hospital. Over the years, the two of them have become each other's spiritual support.

But now, it seems that this umbrella is not completely resistant to wind and rain.

In the ward, Elliot's parents came to visit Claire.

Old friends who hadn't seen each other for several years had endless chats. When Lara entered the room, Elliot's mother Harper Liang held Claire's hand affectionately.

She was stunned for a moment, not expecting these two people to arrive so quickly.

Considering that she was an elder, Lara was not surprised for long. She paused for a few seconds and showed an easy-going smile.

"Uncle, aunt, long time no see."

In fact, it was just a casual greeting, but when it fell into Harper's ears, it meant something else entirely. When she saw Lara, she couldn't help but feel happy. She walked forward and enthusiastically pulled her to sit on the chair, looking at her carefully with a smile on her face.

The last time I saw her, she was in her teens, thin and white, and looked like a frail child. The girl's 18th birthday has completely changed her appearance. Her soft oval face is perfectly inherited from Claire. Her skin is fair and rosy. Although her eyes are a bit bluish, she looks like a beautiful beauty no matter how she looks at it.

As I was thinking about it, I had some other thoughts in my mind, so I didn't care that the scene was wrong and immediately became concerned about her personal life.

"Shu Yi is a big girl now, and I don't even dare to recognize her."

"You are twenty-four years old. It's time to start a family. Your mother will naturally feel better if you have someone to belong to earlier."

Harper compared Claire to be two years older, well-maintained, average in appearance but outstanding in temperament. When she reaches middle age, she strives for financial resources and mental outlook. Now she is a pampered rich wife with a leisurely and stable job. She usually All you need to do is go to the hospital, so you have a lot of time to devote yourself to yourself.

On the other hand, Claire's hair, which she lost due to chemotherapy in the past, can only grow to about her shoulders, and the hair volume is not as good as before. Her hair has no luster, and her face is haggard and dark yellow. No matter how you look at it, she is a sick person. Even though she has a beautiful face, her complexion is not as good as before. It's always bad.

Lara looked at the completely different looks of the two people in front of her and sighed suddenly in her heart. She didn't even hear clearly what Harper said just now.

It wasn't until Claire saw that she was distracted and hurriedly called her that she came back to her senses.

Harper's words passed through his mind, and after thinking for a moment, he said seriously: "I'm not in a hurry. My mother's body is more important right now. As for the other things, we'll talk about it later."

She didn't know what Harper meant by this, but after all, it wasn't what she wanted to hear.

Even if she hadn't seen someone for several years, she shouldn't drag her daughter along with her to care about someone else's private life while visiting a patient. Lara had no intention of listening anymore, and there was displeasure on her brows.

Claire quickly caught her look and was ready to find a different topic.

"It's the same with the child. I told you that you two are so busy at work that you don't need to come to see him. Is he busy and forgetting about it? He is also working overtime today, right?"

Talking about children is always an eternal topic, without running out of things to say or appearing deliberate.

"He is busier than the two of us. He told me yesterday that he was going on a business trip, and he didn't tell me where he went. He couldn't find anyone if he tried to find him, and he could never get through to his cell phone while he was working."

Harper met Claire's gaze and spoke to her with a headache, dissatisfied inside and outside his words.

The topic just now was gently dropped, but these words also made Mason, who had been standing silently aside silently from beginning to end, suddenly couldn't help but refute.

"Elliot's work is very disciplined. Isn't it normal that sometimes you can't get a call when you go out for interviews?"

Mason, who has always been serious and prudent, also felt that his wife's words were a woman's kindness, so he couldn't listen to them anymore. He was afraid that the more she said, the more she would make mistakes, so he hurriedly glanced at Harper again.

Finally, Harper took out two thick envelopes from his handbag and gently placed them in Claire's hands.

"This is what Lao Zhou and I want. You must accept it."

Claire stood up in a hospital gown and refused.

"I'm very happy that you came to see me. You can take this back!"

"It's not much. Ask Shu Yi to buy you some nutritional supplements. Eat more good ones. Don't be polite to us!"

The two people became more and more excited as they talked, and the pile of envelopes gradually became wrinkled as they were pushed and pushed. Lara watched from the side and felt unable to do anything.

In the end, Claire couldn't help but accepted it.

Before leaving, the couple said they would come back to see her after the operation, and told Claire to take good care of her health before leaving.

Lara went to see off the guests politely as usual, and the two of them got on the elevator and waved to her. When the elevator door closed, the couple's expressions were not good-looking.

Mason said with a cold face, "You can't speak anymore. Shu Yi is so tired, yet you still say such unpleasant things."

Not to be outdone, Harper said, "Why can't I speak anymore? Aren't I caring about my daughter? Do we have to talk endlessly about Lao Yu's illness? That would be too much trouble."

The two of them had different opinions and seemed to be very dissatisfied with their performance in the ward just now. Originally, they thought that for a major event like illness, they should know about it as soon as possible and help find a suitable doctor to register for treatment, but they only learned about it three years later. No matter who looked at it, they felt that this friendship was a bit too much.

Lara's father, Wen Jingheng, and Mason were deceased brothers. The good brothers had passed away many years ago, and the orphans and widowed mother had a difficult life, but he did not help at all. No matter how Mason thought about it, he felt guilty.

After being busy with work for so many years, he was unable to share in family matters. Many things had to be left to Elliot. He was asked to stay in Beixian County to attend high school. Firstly, it was inconvenient to transfer his student status. Secondly, it was also to take care of Lara.

But I didn't want to take care of him like this.

Mason thought that the mother and daughter in the hospital were still worried and worried, so he called Elliot again in the car on the way home.

"You often go to the hospital to stay with your Aunt Yu when you are free, and pay more attention to Shu Yi. Your mother and I just came back from the hospital. Only now do we realize that such a big thing is a bit too much. Mom and dad sometimes can't do it. When you arrive, you have to help me carefully."

The driver drove the car very smoothly, but it was still inconvenient to drive in the rain. At the end of Mason's words, he looked at the undulating rain outside the window and asked in a lowered voice.

"What's going on between you and Shu Yi?"

"When I left with your mother, I told you to take good care of Shu Yi. How did it end up like this?"

"Brothers and sisters who grew up together have not seen each other for several years. I think they are worse than strangers."

Elliot here has a splitting headache. He has been hungover until dawn after returning from Beixian County last night. Now he has just woken up, his head is dizzy, and nothing he hears is very clear.

At the end of Mason's words, he suddenly woke up, so he hurriedly got up from the bed, cleared his throat, and pretended to be normal and asked an unimportant question.

"You and my mother went to the hospital?"

Mason hummed, looked at the time, and guessed he was still working, so he told him a few words and said to take care of himself before hanging up the phone.

Elliot breathed a sigh of relief.

In the eyes of his parents, he was still the journalist who traveled to major conferences, but little did they know that he had resigned a long time ago.

Some things require obedience, but there is no need to listen to others when it comes to life choices. Even your parents cannot stop what you want to do.

The lights in the hospital always seem to be extra bright.

At 9:05 in the morning, Claire was pushed into the operating room on time.

Lara's whole body was highly nervous. She stood in the lobby of the family waiting area for a long time, listening to the not-so-quiet voices of hundreds of family members around her, and her heart was in her throat. It has been four years since my last surgery.

Claire was in the middle stage of breast cancer. Surgery, chemotherapy and targeted therapy continued for a year and a half. After the treatment was completed, she insisted on taking medicine and exercising every day, thinking that her body had slowly recovered. However, a review two months ago showed that her uterus was There were fibroids inside, but it was unclear whether they were benign or malignant. In order to cut off the risk of metastasis, the doctor recommended that she undergo surgery.

The final result cannot be determined until after the surgery.

So Lara never sat down for a moment from beginning to end.

Others might have been sitting on the chair scrolling through their phones indifferently, but she was not in the mood at all. She kept her eyes glued to the real-time screen in front of her, looking at Claire's surgery information, for fear of missing any news.

About an hour and a half later, Claire’s family was called over the radio in the operating room.

She picked up the chain of her bag and hurried to the family conversation area. The doctor in charge of the bed handed her the specimen bag through the glass with a calm look.

"The operation is over. This is the cut tissue. It doesn't look like something bad. Let's take it for a biopsy to confirm. Don't worry."

After hearing the doctor's words, her heart that had been hanging around was relieved a little. After thanking the doctor, she felt relieved and found an empty seat to sit down.

Lara clicked on the mobile phone that Claire gave her before going to the operating table, slid the screen to unlock it, opened WeChat, and found that there was no message in it.

It's the same thing on her phone.

The mother and daughter are walking alone in this world.

Although Claire was awake after being pushed back to the ward, the pain and anesthesia after the operation had not completely subsided, her face became sallower, and even her body temperature was a little low.

Lara stared at the monitor and called Claire from time to time to wake her up.

She stayed by his side, busy all the time, and the nurse repeatedly praised her for her filial piety.

Claire was lying on the hospital bed. After hearing this, she said softly: "I gave birth to a good daughter."

She said nothing more, but gave her mother a calming look, then leaned down and adjusted the analgesic stick. Although it is a minimally invasive surgery, the post-operative pain is unbearable.

On this day, Lara hardly ate much because she was worried about Claire's condition.

The reaction was the biggest on the first night after the operation, and Claire could hardly sleep all night.

She tried to vomit several times but could not. Fortunately, it is in a single ward. If it were in a multi-person ward, I don't know how to go through this and disturb others' rest.

Lara gave up the bed to the nurse aunt, took a chair and sat in front of the window, looking at Claire many times. It was almost early in the morning, and Claire was finally feeling better. She closed the door unconsciously in the dim light. Eye.

This critical moment has finally passed.

-

The day after Claire's surgery, Elliot's mother Harper once again came to the hospital to visit, carrying a bag full of things. She was worried that Claire was in poor condition, so she only stayed for half an hour.

Before leaving, Harper held Lara's hand until she walked to the elevator, and told her the address of her home, so that Lara could go and sit at home as often as she could, so as not to get upset.

Lara smiled politely and said she would do it if she had the chance in the future. Then she pressed the elevator button with one hand and watched Zhou's mother leave enthusiastically.

When she returned to the ward, as expected, she would see a new stack of banknotes under the sheets. Claire was in a bad mood, but she knew that this was just to make up for the overwhelming guilt in her heart.

"Mom, do you need me to give it back?"

Seeing Claire's troubled expression, she spoke immediately.

"No, after all, this is what others want. We can't ignore what is good and what is evil."

Claire closed her eyes and murmured to herself, "Why did we bump into their family again?"

Lara did not answer, and felt that the situation in life was really unpredictable.
