Chapter 1120: A False Alarm
Chapter 1120: A False Alarm
When Huang Xiaochuan heard the news, he was also very anxious, but he felt that something was wrong.
Firstly, I'd never heard of my second sister having this disease in my previous life. Secondly, she was always lively and healthy. She was a typical easygoing and plump woman, and her annual checkups were always normal. How could she suddenly be diagnosed with breast cancer?
While comforting his elderly mother, he decided to go over immediately to check on the situation and find out what was going on.
Seeing this, Yu Xiang also wanted to go along: "I'll go with you to take a look."
Yu Xiang is a doctor, so it would be perfect if she went along.
On the way, Yu Xiang also doubted the truth of the matter. As a doctor, she was naturally more meticulous, but before seeing the test report, everything was just speculation.
When the couple arrived at their uncle's house, Zeng Xia rested in her room while her aunt, Qian Jiazhen, stayed with her. Only Zeng Jiahua waited for his nephew's arrival in the living room.
Upon seeing his nephew and his wife, Zeng Jiahua seemed to have found his pillar of support and grabbed his nephew's hand.
"Uncle, where's the test report?" As soon as Huang Xiaochuan entered the room, he didn't bother to comfort him and went straight to looking at the report.
Zeng Jiahua immediately handed the medical examination report to his nephew's wife, Yu Xiang.
Yu Xiang received the report and immediately began reading it.
Huang Xiaochuan, standing to the side, nervously asked, "How did it go?"
Yu Xiang finished reading the report in just a few dozen seconds, feeling a bit wryly amused. This second sister-in-law...
"It's nothing serious. There are three nodules, one of which is quite large, but I checked them and they are mostly benign. The ultrasound showed clear edges, which means they are just ordinary fibrous nodules. If you're really worried, I'll take my second sister to Ruijin Hospital now to have my senior sister do a mammogram for her."
Huang Xiaochuan felt relieved upon hearing this. Yu Xiang's senior sister was the director of the breast surgery department at Ruijin Hospital. If he asked her to personally examine his second sister, there would be no need to go to Hong Kong, saving them the trouble of traveling back and forth, and they could get the real results as soon as possible.
Zeng Jiahua naturally believed his nephew's wife's words, and he was finally relieved.
The couple then went to the bedroom and saw Zeng Xia sitting on the bed with red and swollen eyes, accompanied by her aunt Qian Jiazhen, who also looked haggard.
Huang Xiaochuan didn't know what to say. This second sister of his! She gets easily startled by the slightest thing, and she draws conclusions about herself before even understanding the situation, scaring the whole family quite a bit.
Upon seeing her younger brother and sister-in-law, Zeng Xia's tears welled up again: "Little brother, what should I do? I haven't even seen Liu Jin get married yet, I..."
Huang Xiaochuan was both amused and exasperated: "Alright, alright, stop crying. Who said you have cancer? It's just a few nodules, and they're benign. Is it really that big of a deal?"
Unfortunately, Zeng Xia didn't believe it. She sobbed as she said, "But I clearly heard the doctor say that it doesn't seem to be good."
"My dear second sister, maybe the doctor was just saying it casually, and it's just a medical report, not a formal diagnosis."
At this moment, Yu Xiang also said, "Second sister, let me tell you, it's really nothing. Eight out of ten women have breast nodules, and I have them too, but most of them are benign. I've seen the report, and it's nothing serious. Don't scare yourself."
Huang Xiaochuan snorted coldly: "It's fine if you scare yourself, but don't scare my uncle and aunt! How old are they? Really."
Zeng Xia completely ignored Huang Xiaochuan's words and stared at Yu Xiang, asking, "Really?"
"Would I lie to you? Come on, I've already made arrangements. I'll take you for a full check-up now, and you can see the results for yourself."
Zeng Xia naturally trusted Yu Xiang, after all, she was a doctor. She stopped crying and followed Yu Xiang out the door. Her aunt was worried and went with them.
The uncle originally wanted to go too, but Huang Xiaochuan stopped him: "Uncle, you shouldn't go. Let's wait for news at home. By the way, is there any food?"
After all that commotion, Huang Xiaochuan missed his family's meal and was hungry.
Zeng Jiahua then remembered that all the dishes were prepared and were just about to be cooked when Zeng Xia did this, so the dishes were never cooked.
He said, "There's food at home, but your aunt hasn't had time to cook the dishes yet. I'll call Jianhua now and ask him to send some over."
Huang Xiaochuan stopped Zeng Jiahua from making a phone call: "Forget it, Uncle, don't call. I'll go to the kitchen and see. We can just make a couple of dishes and have something to eat."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen. Once inside, he saw that his aunt had already prepared all the dishes, just waiting to be cooked. This saved him a lot of trouble. He found his apron, tied it on, and started getting busy.
Before long, the dishes were ready. Huang Xiaochuan put several dishes in the steamer to keep them warm, took two dishes to the dining room, and then went back to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.
"Uncle, let's eat first!" he called to Zeng Jiahua.
Zeng Jiahua was still thinking about his second daughter who had gone to the hospital. He waved his hand and said, "You eat yours, I'm not hungry right now."
Huang Xiaochuan knew that his uncle was still worried about Zeng Xia, so he stopped trying to persuade him and started eating.
Just as he was eating, Zeng Lijuan and Lao Huang arrived with August. Their youngest son and daughter-in-law had been gone for quite some time without even making a phone call, which worried Zeng Lijuan. After August finished eating, the elderly couple took August to Zeng Jiahua's house.
Just as he was eating, Zeng Lijuan and Lao Huang arrived with August. Their youngest son and daughter-in-law had been gone for quite some time without even making a phone call, which worried Zeng Lijuan. After August finished eating, the elderly couple took August to Zeng Jiahua's house.
As soon as she entered, Zeng Lijuan began inquiring about the situation, and even asked where Zeng Xia was: "How is it? Where's Xia?"
Before Zeng Jiahua could speak, Huang Xiaochuan interrupted, saying, "It's probably nothing serious. Yu Xiang has already seen the ultrasound report, and it says it's just a common benign nodule. But she was worried that my second sister and aunt wouldn't be at ease, so she took her to Ruijin Hospital for another check-up. They've been there for a while now."
Upon hearing this, Zeng Lijuan touched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good!" She naturally believed her daughter-in-law's words, and with that, the weight on her heart was finally lifted.
Old Huang was very happy to hear that Zeng Xia was alright, and he went to comfort Zeng Jiahua.
Having just felt relieved, Zeng Lijuan became worried again when she saw that the others hadn't returned from the hospital yet. She urged her youngest son, "Why don't you call and ask what's going on? Why haven't they come back yet?"
"I'll ask you now." Huang Xiaochuan took out his phone.
Just as he was about to dial Yu Xiang's number, he saw his aunt, Yu Xiang, and Zeng Xia returning, chatting and laughing.
Huang Xiaochuan immediately put down his phone and gestured with his chin towards the three people who were chatting and laughing: "You're back. Are you relieved now?"
When Zeng Jiahua, Zeng Lijuan, and Lao Huang saw this, it was obvious that nothing had happened; otherwise, why would they have returned laughing and talking?
"How is it?" Zeng Lijuan asked the three of them.
"It's all that brat's fault! She gave everyone a scare and almost scared me to death!" Qian Jiazhen slapped Zeng Xia angrily, just to vent her anger.
"Mom, be gentle! It hurts!" Zeng Xia cried out in pain, clearly hurt by the force of the slap.
Huang Xiaochuan then fanned the flames from the sidelines: "Serves him right, in my opinion that slap was too lenient."
Knowing she was in the wrong, Zeng Xia didn't argue this time, but instead asked, "Is there any food? I'm starving!"
