Chapter 143 -109: The Wedding Photo in the Wallet_2
Carey reached out to grab the prescription, and just as he was about to go downstairs to get the medicine, a nurse came to urge payment, “Patient in room 216, please settle the hospital fees as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, Su Yali sighed and took Carey’s hand, “Son, no need for the medicine, Mom’s fine, I can be discharged after this IV drip.”
Su Nian watched with a heavy heart. Without medication to control her illness, her life expectancy could be much shorter, and surgery would be necessary later on…
Su Nian turned to look at Shen Hanxiu, “Lend me some money.”
Shen Hanxiu appeared to smile but not really, then he let go of Su Zhen’s hand, took out his wallet from the inside pocket of his suit, and handed it directly to Su Nian.
Su Nian was stunned for a moment as she took it, then turned to Carey and said, “Let’s go, I’ll go with you.”
But Su Yali suddenly stopped her, “Nian’nian, let Carey go by himself, he can manage. Stay here, I have something to tell you.”
Su Nian glanced at the bill, confirmed the amount needed, opened the wallet to count the money for Carey—after all, Shen Hanxiu’s wallet was extraordinarily valuable. If it got lost, even selling her wouldn’t cover the cost.
But Su Nian was taken aback as soon as she opened the wallet; inside was still that photo.
The photo was of their wedding shoot—her hand hooked around his waist, the other joining with his in the shape of a heart.
She had dragged him into posing; he, who disliked photos, surprisingly cooperated the entire time. But when the photographer asked him to smile, he just kept a straight face the whole time. She told the photographer then, “He has facial paralysis! Can’t smile!” His face looked even darker afterward…
When the photo was developed, she pestered him to put it in his wallet then and there. Shen Hanxiu always let her have her way, and it had not been removed since. She did not expect it to still be there…
They say, what you keep in your wallet is what’s most important…
She really didn’t get his actions…
If it was all an act, how meticulous one must be to go to such lengths?
Regaining her composure, Su Nian acted as if she had seen nothing and counted out two thousand yuan…
“Wow! Uncle Shen has so much money! Mom, I want some too…”
Su Nian gave the money to Carey and then said to Su Zhen, “What does a child need money for?” While speaking, she handed the wallet back to Shen Hanxiu and whispered, “I’ll pay you back later.”
Shen Hanxiu didn’t reply, opened his wallet in front of Su Zhen, “Take as much as you want.”
Su Zhen grinned like a little miser. She looked at Su Nian, then at Shen Hanxiu. Her chubby hands quickly reached in and pulled out two hundred-yuan bills, generously giving one to Su Bao, “Here! For you!”
Su Nian said nothing, glaring at Su Zhen. When she goes back, isn’t it her mom who will have to pay back? At least she wasn’t greedy and only took two bills.
Carey withdrew his gaze from Su Zhen and said to Su Nian with a mature air, “Sister Xiao Nian, I’ll head down now.”
“Okay, no rush.”
The lively Su Zhen immediately ran to Carey’s side, “I want to go with little uncle!”

Su Nian, afraid Su Zhen would cause trouble, said, “Uncle is going to get medicine, not to play. You stay here and wait with brother.”
Su Zhen, however, immediately grabbed Carey’s hand, causing him to stiffen up as he looked down at her.
“I want to go with little uncle!” she declared, also pulling Su Bao along, “Su Bao is coming too!”
Su Zhen, holding Carey’s hand in one and Su Bao in the other, walked out. His expression didn’t change, but his heart rate suddenly quickened.
Since he could remember, he had hardly been in such close contact with anyone, nor had anyone sweetly called him little uncle and held his hand.
At school, people only called him a fatherless bastard; his memories were full of rejection by others, with nobody like Su Zhen insisting on playing with him.
Watching her tiptoe to press the elevator button, he found every move she made adorable.
In the elevator, Su Zhen still grasped two of his fingers, looked up with her big, clear eyes, and said, “Little uncle, you’re so handsome, even more than the models at Uncle Liang’s.”
Carey looked down at her and quickly turned his gaze away to avoid being melted by her eyes. He seemed calm, but only he knew how fast his heart was beating.
Seeing that Carey didn’t respond, Su Zhen pouted, let go of his hand, and walked to Su Bao, thinking the little uncle didn’t like her and that’s why he wouldn’t talk to her.
Back in the hospital room, after the three children left, Su Yali took Su Nian’s hand and said, “Nian’nian, I understand my own condition. Ah Cheng said that if things go well, I could live three years. I know he’s just trying to comfort me. The doctors have said it’s malignant breast cancer, and it’s past the golden period. Even with a mastectomy, I won’t live long…”
“Auntie, be more optimistic. Who knows if a miracle might happen to you? Besides, Uncle Cheng is such a good doctor; his words can’t be lies. Just focus on receiving treatment. Carey is still so young; even for his sake, you should actively cooperate with the treatment. Don’t worry about the money, I have it, all you need to…”
Su Yali pulled Su Nian’s hand, interrupting her, “Nian’nian, I watched you grow up. I know it’s not easy for you either. A while ago, I thought what Yalan said was true; I believed you really were a single mother…”
She said this while smiling and looking at Shen Han standing behind Su Nian and continued, “Now it’s good, you and the Third Young Master have finally ended up together after all the twists and turns. I know the Shen family has great business, and I just want to bask in your fortune. If I really can’t make it, I hope you and Third Young Master will help me take care of Carey…”
Su Nian’s eyes filled with tears, “Auntie, don’t say such disheartening things!”
Although she wasn’t particularly close to Su Yali, it was only this auntie who would secretly bring food to her when she was upset and refused to eat. Whenever she felt suffocated, it was this auntie who would talk to her and taught her many aspects of living…
