The God Virus
/ The God Virus 364 A Silly Girl
Hearing this, while staring into her determined eyes, Virus remained silent for an entire minute with his thoughts unknown to everyone but himself.
"W-what? Why are you looking at me that way?" Noticing his somewhat heated stare, Hu Yuexin could only feel awkward about the entire situation.
And it was exactly at this point, when, standing up from his seat and bringing his face right above hers, he simply whispered, "You realize losing the Red-Crystal does not nullify our private contract, right? The deal is still in effect."
A shade of red covering her cheeks from the closeness of their faces, the Chinese beauty was about to look away feeling shy. But before she could do that, grabbing her chin forcefully, Virus declared "seriously though, you're mine. Don't forget that." before engulfing her wounded cherry lips on his own.
"Mmnh-" totally caught off-guard by his unexpected act of kissing like always, Hu Yuexin struggled trying to catch her breath. She was short of breath since her mouth was sealed entirely.
This situation continued for some time when, at last, successfully pushing him away, she desperately inhaled oxygen while muttering, "Hee…haaa… I-I know. I'm… not that shameless. I'm a woman of my word."
Tilting his head forward, Virus expressed his satisfaction, "Good girl."
Recalling something else, he went on, "Oh, that makes me remember… I saw that your son has leukemia cancer, moreover, it was written down that the disease likely passed on from his mother to him while giving birth. Is that true? You have leukemia?"
"How do you know?! Who told you that?" Thunderstruck at the mention of him knowing about his son and his detailed condition, she could only question out loud.
'Well, since this hospital isn't where your son's been originally hospitalized in and since they were asking what's wrong with your son, I had to hack into that other hospital's database and read through some of his basic information.' This notion flickered through his head, but of course, he didn't admit that out loud. Instead, he manipulated the truth slightly and uttered, "I have my connections."
And indeed, he had his connections. Direct connections to the entire planet.
"I see…" Leaning inwardly, Hu Yuexin wasn't surprised by his response. Rich people had their own special methods of getting their hands on the information they needed.
Anyway, being reminded of her son's disease forced a painful expression to show up on Hu Yuexin's face.
Meanwhile, noticing her downcast and disheartened behavior, knitting his furrow, he asked, "What is it? Are you dying too?"
Displaying a bitter smile at this point, shaking her head, she started clarifying, "It's not like that. I've never told this to anyone else… but since you helped me a lot. I'll tell you."
Taking a deep breath at this point, she revealed, "Actually… I'm not my child's birth mother."
"Huh? What do you mean? He looks so much like you, there's no way he's not-" Before he could finish, however, Hu Yuexin interrupted, "The reason there are so many similarities between our features is that… he's actually my sister's child who died a few years ago. I'm his aunt."
Not pausing at all, she went on, "After giving birth, the doctors realized my sister had leukemia… even worse, she didn't have much time to live."
"Hmm, that's so unfortunate. But why are you acting like his mother then? Are you not gonna tell him about his birth mother?" Befuddled by everything, Virus questioned.
Letting out a helpless sigh to that, she replied while shaking her head, "I can't. Because… my sister's last wish, her only request for me, was to raise him as his real mother. She didn't want him to grow up without both of his parents. She wanted him to at least have his mother." By now, her eyes had long gone red due to heartache.
"Oh… so that's what's going on." To be truthful, this revelation had blown Virus' mind away. This was totally unexpected for Virus.
Unable to control herself at last, the Chinese beauty started shedding tears while confessing further, "B-but, sob, a few months after her death, I discovered her disease had passed on to my baby too. The doctors s-said… the disease is most likely to have passed on at the time of his b-birth… Boohoo…"
While patting her head gently, he comforted, "I understand. You've had it really tough, haven't you? Good job. Good job. You've been great at this."
Finally being told these few simple words which she was dying to hear from anyone for a long time, no longer able to remain strong, throwing herself into his arms, she began wailing, "Ahhhh…"
...
After she was done crying her eyes out, Virus decided to sit there for some time. Around an hour later, after a simple peck on her forehead, he left the hospital.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to notify her that the hospital will be transferring both of them to her son's original hospital. Of course, while on his way outside, he casually paid every expense to the hospital.
He, to some degree, had also hesitated on whether to deal with Fan Tong right there and then. However, recalling that resolve shimmering within Hu Yuexin's eyes when she rejected his assistance, he in the end couldn't bring himself to deal with that trash personally. On the contrary, he was now looking forward to what was going to happen later on with burning enthusiasm.
In all fairness, after getting to know her and her complicated situation better, Virus was feeling slightly complex inside.
Before, without any background checking, he assumed her to be a single mother who had probably screwed around with someone, leading her to be pregnant with a child. But now, after getting a rough picture of her unfortunate circumstances, he realized it was anything but that.
"What a silly woman… no, what a silly girl." He muttered while driving back to the hotel.
