The doctor said that Xiaochun only had three months left. If a suitable blood type couldn't be matched, then Xiaochun's remaining life would only be these three months.
Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen decided to let Xiaochun live a normal life, so they didn't tell Xiaochun about his illness.
"Goodbye, Daddy and Mommy. Come and pick me up tonight!" At the entrance of the kindergarten, Xiaochun's chubby face was full of smiles as he walked into the school against the rising sun.
Watching Xiaochun's back, Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen, who were standing still, felt mixed emotions.
That night, in the Mo family's old mansion, all the family members gathered there.
As soon as Lin Yuyan saw Xiaochun come in, she said lovingly, "Xiaochun, come to Grandma quickly."
What a good child. It was a pity that he had to suffer like this.
Xiaochun didn't understand what was going on yet. He ran to Lin Yuyan's side innocently. His cute appearance made everyone who saw him like him.
"Xiaochun, what do you want to eat tonight? Grandma will ask the kitchen to make it for you." Lin Yuyan pinched Xiaochun's little hand and sat on the sofa.
Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen came in later. Seeing the expressions of the whole family, they knew that everyone already knew about Xiaochun's illness.
As soon as Lin Yuyan saw Xia Weilan, she gave her a reproachful look. "How long do you still plan to hide it?"
"Mom, this was my idea." Mo Beichen subconsciously spoke up for Xia Weilan.
"I think you've spoiled her too much. You protect her from everything." Lin Yuyan shook her head helplessly. For such a big thing, the two of them actually wanted to hide it from the family.
Xiaochun looked at the talking adults in confusion, blinking his eyes as if he didn't understand at all.
Grandpa Mo said, "Alright, there's a child here. Don't talk about those things."
Liu Yinyin was sitting on one side, looking at the little kid. Her eyes were rolling around. If the child adopted by Xia Weilan had leukemia, once this matter got out, it would be a big sensation.
Since Xia Weilan wanted to keep it a secret, Liu Yinyin just wanted to go against her.
Liu Yinyin sneered but said nothing.
During dinner, Xia Weilan was told by Lin Yuyan to go to the kitchen to help. Liu Yinyin also went in to put on a show.
Just as Xia Weilan picked up a plate, she felt Liu Yinyin squeeze towards her. The next second, the plate in her hand fell directly to the ground with a dull sound.
Lin Yuyan rushed over in a hurry. When she saw Xia Weilan about to clean up the things on the ground, her eyes widened in anger.
"Why are you so careless!" Lin Yuyan said impatiently to Xia Weilan.
But the next second, Mo Beichen also walked in. He immediately pulled Xia Weilan up. "Let the servants clean this up. You don't need to pick it up."
He held Xia Weilan's wrist. Xia Weilan had fair and tender hands, which were used to hold the pen for design. If they got bruised, it would be a waste.
Lin Yuyan and Liu Yinyin both looked at Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan unhappily at the same time. Lin Yuyan didn't say anything else and turned around to leave the kitchen.
But Liu Yinyin gritted her teeth and watched helplessly as Mo Beichen took Xia Weilan out.
"What happened?" Mo Beichen looked at her suspiciously. Usually, Xia Weilan wasn't so clumsy.
"What else could it be? It was Liu Yinyin." Xia Weilan sighed helplessly. She had known for a long time that Liu Yinyin always wanted to go against her, but it was hard to guard against villains.
The next day, when Xiaochun was sent to school, he already felt the strange looks from his classmates.
"Xiaochun, are you okay? Why aren't you at home resting properly?"
"Xiaochun, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
A few classmates who usually played well with Xiaochun swarmed up as soon as they saw Xiaochun enter the classroom and surrounded him tightly.
"I'm fine." Xiaochun blinked his eyes in confusion.
Why were they all so concerned about him today?
"Xiaochun, don't hide it from us. We already know everything." The little classmate looked at him firmly with a look of pity on his face.
"What do you know?" Xiaochun asked.
"Don't you have leukemia?"
That night, when Xia Weilan went to pick up Xiaochun, she saw a lot of reporters gathered at the school gate.
As soon as they saw Xia Weilan appear, they rushed up in a swarm.
"Excuse me, Miss Xia, is it true that the child you adopted has leukemia? How do you feel when you know this?"
"Excuse me, will you abandon the child or adopt another one?"
The reporters' questions were like bombs, which caught Xia Weilan off guard.
But Xia Weilan quickly reacted. Someone had leaked the news about Xiaochun's illness. "How did you know about this? Please leave here and give Xiaochun a healthy learning environment. Thank you. Besides, I will never abandon Xiaochun. Xiaochun has Rh-null blood. We've also been trying to find a suitable blood type."
Xia Weilan said neither overbearingly nor humbly. The reporters looked at each other. They had been very angry when they heard that Xia Weilan had hidden the illness and wanted to abandon the child before. But now, when they thought about it again, if Xia Weilan really wanted to abandon the child, why would she appear at the school gate in person? She was here to pick up the child.
Just then, the school finally finished. Among the groups of little students, Xiaochun walked out chatting and laughing with a few friends.
Xiaochun saw Xia Weilan in the crowd at a glance and ran over excitedly without any sadness of knowing his illness. "Mommy, you've come to pick me up!"
Xia Weilan immediately squatted down and held Xiaochun's hand, asking worriedly, "How was it at school today? Did you get wronged?"
"No, I didn't get wronged. They took good care of me."
Xia Weilan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the reporters around all pointed their cameras at Xia Weilan and Xiaochun. Xiaochun was startled when he saw so many people and hid beside Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan whispered in Xiaochun's ear, "Do you know about your illness?"
Hearing this, Xiaochun looked up at Xia Weilan, nodded, and then didn't say a word.
After all, he was still a child. No matter how calm he pretended to be, he was still a vulnerable being.
Just then, the bodyguards also came up and sent Xia Weilan and Xiaochun into the car.
The reporters stood there stupidly and didn't chase. What they had just filmed wasn't a scandal of abandoning an adopted daughter at all. It was a very harmonious scene.
They must have been deceived.
In the villa, the interview at the school gate was being broadcast on the wall-mounted TV. Several servants were looking up at the TV. Just then, a car drove in slowly. Xia Weilan got out of the car with Xiaochun and walked into the hall.
Aunt Tian immediately turned off the TV and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Xiaochun felt the strange looks from everyone again. This time, he was much calmer.
In the Mo Ying Group, Mo Beichen was also watching the latest news.
"President, do you want to remove these news?" Xu Wei asked respectfully.
"No, just leave them. Also, issue an announcement on the official website in the name of the company to look for people with Rh-null blood. This matter can be made public now." Mo Beichen said lightly.
"Yes, but Rh-null blood is too rare. Should we also release the news to look for Xiaochun's mother? Maybe the chances of success will be a bit higher." Xu Wei said again.
Xiaochun's matter was also a gamble for Mo Beichen, a gamble on whether they could find someone whose blood type matched Xiaochun's exactly and wouldn't cause rejection.
"Do as you said." Mo Beichen glanced out of the window at the sky, which was getting dim. The sky was overcast at the moment, as if the dark clouds were slowly gathering, just waiting for the right moment to suddenly strike with thunder and light up the earth.
As long as they could get through that darkest period, they would be able to wait for the light.
The design exhibition of a vocational school was held in the afternoon.
Mo Beichen, as an invited guest, attended the exhibition with Xia Weilan.
"Do you think we can really find traces of Xiaochun's parents here?" Xia Weilan frowned as she looked at the vast crowd.
