He Suye returned home and saw Shen Xifan resting on the sofa. He gently brushed her hair aside with his hand. That day, Shen Xifan officially resigned from the hotel, bid farewell to her colleagues, and successfully completed her visa application. Since the visa center was close to the hospital, Shen Xifan decided to drop by and personally pick up He Suye after work. However, she unexpectedly ran into He Suye and her mother, who was preparing to be discharged, in the hospital lobby.

At that moment, Shen Xifan vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Instead of approaching them directly, she sent He Suye a message, asking to meet him in the garden. Realizing that he could no longer hide the truth, He Suye took the initiative to confess everything to Shen Xifan. But upon hearing it, Shen Xifan broke down in tears, overwhelmed by the fear of losing her mother. She also blamed He Suye for concealing such an important matter from her.

Although He Suye sincerely apologized and tried to comfort her, encouraging her to have faith in her mother’s recovery, Shen Xifan couldn’t bear to listen. She turned away and left without a word. After returning to the break room, He Suye was consumed by self-blame and regret. After work, he repeatedly tried calling Shen Xifan, but she didn’t answer. Eventually, with Xu Xiangya’s help, he managed to find her.

Addressing her mother’s situation, He Suye explained to Shen Xifan that he had fully respected her mother’s wishes, which was why he hadn’t informed her earlier. After calming down, Shen Xifan also realized that she had overreacted in the morning. It wasn’t entirely He Suye’s fault, and she softened her stance. The two embraced and reconciled.

That evening, He Suye personally accompanied Shen Xifan home. Originally, her parents had planned to continue hiding the truth, but Shen Xifan directly brought it up. She comforted her mother and urged her to focus on recovery without any additional worries. However, when she caught sight of the drainage bag connected to her mother’s body, she felt a sharp pain in her heart but forced herself to suppress her grief and carefully supervised her mother’s medication intake.

After a period of recovery, Yu Liren visited to check on her mother’s pulse and confirmed that her condition had significantly improved. He also taught her parents some traditional Chinese health-preserving exercises, which they earnestly learned. In contrast, Shen Xifan spent her time alone in her room, tirelessly researching information about breast cancer. The more she read, the more anxious she became, especially thinking about her upcoming overseas study and the fact that she might not be able to stay by her parents’ side.

One evening, He Suye and Yu Liren had dinner at the He family’s house. During the meal, Yu Liren casually suggested going out for a meal sometime and even recommended a nice restaurant. When the topic of studying abroad came up, Yu Liren curiously asked about Shen Xifan’s visa progress. Hesitant due to her mother’s condition, Shen Xifan falsely claimed that she had just submitted her visa application and that her family had suggested she practice cooking to avoid struggling with unfamiliar cuisine abroad.

Not long after, the results of her mother’s follow-up examination came out, showing a clear improvement in her condition. Overjoyed, He Suye immediately took a picture of the report and sent it to Shen Xifan. After work, he personally visited her home to explain the medical report. Based on his assessment, her mother’s condition was classified as an early-stage tumor, and given its molecular subtype, the prognosis was extremely positive. With proper treatment, the recovery rate could reach as high as ninety-five percent.

Hearing He Suye’s explanation, Shen Xifan’s parents finally felt a heavy weight lifted from their hearts. However, Shen Xifan still seemed unsettled. The next day, she accompanied her mother to the hospital for treatment while simultaneously learning to make nourishing soups from online tutorials. That afternoon, she unexpectedly received a message from the visa center notifying her that her passport was ready for collection. What should have been good news felt completely joyless at that moment.

After work, He Suye came over to help Shen Xifan clean the kitchen. While disposing of the trash, he accidentally discovered a torn courier slip in the trash can, instantly realizing what had happened — Shen Xifan had destroyed the notification regarding her visa approval. His heart sank, understanding the difficult choice she was struggling with.

That evening, He Suye accompanied Shen Xifan home for dinner. Throughout the meal, Shen Xifan attentively watched over her mother, carefully observing her physical condition and ensuring there were no signs of discomfort. Her mother, deeply moved by her daughter's concern, repeatedly assured her that she was fine. Meanwhile, He Suye silently watched from the side, his emotions a complex mix of heartache and helplessness.
