Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 86: Chapter 86 I Want to Go to Qi Hospital Chapter 86: Chapter 86 I Want to Go to Qi Hospital After leaving Qi Hospital, Wen Nianyou immediately went home, took Lady Wen’s cell phone, and began to text Doctor Anxin.

As before, Doctor Anxin was extremely concerned about Lady Wen’s health, incessantly reminding her to go to the hospital for a follow-up.

Wen Nianyou could feel that Doctor Anxin considered the follow-up very important, so much so that she even seemed a bit anxious.

While dodging the topic of the follow-up with Doctor Anxin, she asked Lady Wen, “Mom, you seem to have a good relationship with Doctor Anxin from Dome Hospital; she’s asking you to go for a follow-up again, seems really concerned about you. Is it because you gave her a red envelope when you had surgery before?”

Lady Wen pressed her swollen leg and smiled gently, “Silly child, what are you talking about? I didn’t give the doctor a red envelope. Your dad wanted to, but he never got to see her because Doctor Anxin was too busy.”

“You didn’t give a red envelope?”

Wen Nianyou found it strange, “Then why is she so concerned about you? I thought she took money!”

“She didn’t take money, maybe she’s just very responsible, and she takes her patients seriously. She’s a good doctor.”

Wen Nianyou glanced at her leg and discreetly looked away.

Lady Wen’s leg was swelling more and more severely. Before the tumor was removed, she suffered from this complication. The swelling had subsided after the surgery, but this year her leg began to swell again.

Obviously, Lady Wen’s tumor had recurred, and it seemed to be more severe than before, as her feet were so swollen that she could no longer fit into her previous shoes and walking had become difficult.

Lady Wen usually wore long skirts to cover her legs and feet, unwilling to let others see her swollen appearance.

Today, she wore long pants, and her swollen legs filled the loose pant legs completely.

She took Lady Wen’s hand, her face full of concern, “Mom, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Tell me in detail, so I can ask Doctor Anxin for you.”

“Recently, I’ve been having severe headaches, like needle pricks, and when my head hurts, my palms and soles hurt too. When it’s serious, it hurts so much that I break out in a cold sweat all over.”

“Ah? It hurts that much? Mom, why didn’t you tell me before!”

Previously, Lady Wen always feared worrying her daughter and never spoke of her illness, but now, she was in so much pain that she couldn’t bear it anymore, “Maybe I should go to the hospital for a check-up after all. It’s not good to keep hurting like this.”

“Yes, yes, you need to have a check-up. Wait, let me ask Doctor Anxin.”

A moment later, she said, “Oh dear, Mom, Doctor Anxin is very busy. She said you might not be able to get an appointment, so you have to wait!”

Lady Wen was stunned, “Is that so? But before, she always told me that as soon as I went, she could arrange a check-up for me immediately!”

She wanted to take back her own phone to ask Doctor Anxin personally, but Wen Nianyou had already taken the phone upstairs.

“Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll hurry her along.”

Back in the bedroom, Wen Nianyou was in no rush to send the symptoms Lady Wen had just described to Anxin; she hadn’t actually asked about the follow-up for Lady Wen at all.

Based on her understanding of Doctor Anxin, these symptoms would surely make her very anxious.

As expected, as soon as the message was sent, a call came through.

She immediately hung up the call.

Dome Hospital.

The assistant, looking at the disconnected call, shook his head at Ye Chuyi, “Doctor Anxin, no luck, this patient is just like before, still refusing to answer the call.”

Ye Chuyi’s expression grew stern; taking the assistant’s phone, she looked at the symptoms sent by Lady Wen, her anger rising.

It couldn’t be Lin Yueqin meddling behind the scenes again, could it? She had tried to probe Lady Wen before, and she seemed not averse to the idea of a follow-up or taking medication. It must be Lin Yueqin intentionally keeping her from the hospital.

With urgency, she typed, “Lady Wen, considering your symptoms, it is very likely that your tumor has recurred. You can’t delay any longer; you must come to the hospital immediately, or it could be life-threatening.”

Lady Wen, “You don’t need to worry about me. I will go to a hospital, but not to Dome Hospital.”

Ye Chuyi, “Then which hospital do you plan to go to?”

“I’m going to Qi Hospital.”
