Chapter 522 Forensic Heroes 4

"How did you know I didn't buy one?" Yu Yin had prepared a gift, but it was at home and she didn't bring it with her.

"I came in a bit of a hurry today, I'll bring it to you tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yanbo raised an eyebrow. "Why did Yinyin rush to the hospital?"

After Gu Zeya fell asleep, Gao Yanbo left the ward, gently closed the door, and turned to look at Yu Yin.

"What is it?"

Yu Yin wasn't surprised. Gao Yanbo had superior emotional intelligence and IQ, and was also meticulous and quick-witted. She never thought she could hide it from him.

"My uncle has cataracts and needs surgery!" Yu Yin's simple words made Gao Yanbo's face turn cold.

“Brother Yanbo, you know me, I’ve never interfered in your affairs with your cousin, but this time, your cousin needs to have surgery, and he’s so old, so I was thinking, why don’t you go and see him?” Yu Yin said slowly.

She herself doesn't like being told what to do, and she hates those who use the guise of "it's for your own good" to make you do this or that!

Therefore, she did not get too involved in the matter between Qualcomm and Gao Yanbo and his son!

"Cataracts aren't a serious illness; with timely treatment, recovery is quick!" Gao Yanbo said calmly. "If he doesn't have the money, I'll pay for the surgery!"

Yu Yin sighed. Seeing Gao Yanbo's indifference, she could only continue to persuade him, "Brother Yanbo, your uncle must really want you to go see him right now. Maybe this opportunity can help resolve the long-standing estrangement between you two."

Gao Yanbo was silent for a moment, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "What's lost can't be regained. There's no point in saying anything now!"

……

Two days later, Qualcomm underwent surgery and was observed for several hours. After confirming there were no problems, he went home.

Because one of Qualcomm's eyes has cataracts, it has another eye that can see things clearly.

Yu Yin took him back to the old apartment. "Uncle, let me move back in to take care of you!"

"Okay!" Qualcomm didn't stand on ceremony, treating Yinyin like his own daughter.

They adopted Yu Yin back then because they really liked the child, even though others said behind his back that he was after the property left by Yu Yin's parents.

Yu Yin's expenses from childhood to adulthood were all paid for by him; he never touched a single penny of the inheritance.

Qualcomm handed over all its assets to Yu Yin when she turned eighteen.

I don’t know if it was because we were strict with her when she was young, but once she got money, she spent it extravagantly, which made Qualcomm very worried that one day she would run out of money!

He had calculated the inheritance left by Yu's parents, and if it wasn't misused, it should be enough for Yu Yin to live a very good life!

But I'm afraid this child won't know what's important and will waste money.

So even though Yu Yin insisted on paying for the surgery, Qualcomm firmly refused!

……

"Silly girl, the ribs need to be blanched!" Gao Tong stood at the kitchen door, directing Yu Yin as she made soup.

"Add two slices of ginger, bring to a boil over high heat for ten minutes, then reduce to a simmer and cook for an hour..."

Yu Yin finally finished, wiping away his sweat, and said, "This was too difficult. I'll just have someone deliver the food!"

"You're so lazy!" Qualcomm said helplessly. "You're still young now, what will you do after you get married? Will you still be eating out?"

"Tch, I wouldn't marry a man who expects me to cook for him!" Yu Yin scoffed. She was already doing well enough to take care of herself; why would anyone expect her to take care of them?

That’s a nice thought!

"Uncle, spending too much time in the kitchen will turn you into a haggard old woman!"

"Sigh, I think you'll have a hard time getting married!" Gao Tong shook his head, and seeing that there was nothing left to do in the kitchen, he went to sit on the sofa.

He was about to turn on the TV when Yu Yin quickly stopped him, saying, "You can't overuse your eyes!"

As she spoke, she moved a potted plant to the coffee table and said to Qualcomm, "Look at the green, it's good for your eyes!"

Qualcomm glared at Yu Yin with its other intact eye, "Can I listen to Cantonese opera, please?"

Yu Yin shrugged. "Of course, no problem. Your ears are very sharp!"

Qualcomm has a radio that is specifically designed for the elderly.

It is small in size, loud in sound, has few buttons, and can be carried around.

As the button was pressed, the lyrics of the Cantonese opera "The Princess Changping" began to play.

"Fallen blossoms fill the sky, obscuring the moonlight; let me offer a cup of wine on the Phoenix Terrace!"

"The princess, with tears in her eyes, offers incense, willing to sacrifice herself to thank her parents!"

"Secretly glancing, secretly looking, tears welling in my eyes, I grieve in secret!"

"I am unwilling to die for love and accompany you to the underworld; my heart longs to be buried with you, like a pair of mandarin ducks nestled together, in a new chamber built for us on the grave..."

Her gentle and beautiful singing voice made Gao Tong nod his head and sway along, singing along to the beat.

Yu Yin had heard it many times since he was a child and could sing a few lines.

When she was little, she found traditional opera to be too long and tedious, which she found very annoying.

But as we grow older, we can appreciate its charm even more.

……

Gu Zeya was diagnosed with cancer and needs chemotherapy.

Gao Tong and Yu Yin, who were recuperating at home, went to visit her together.

Yu Yin didn't know what to say to comfort Gu Zeya for a moment.

She was in a car accident a few years ago, which resulted in high-level paraplegia. She stayed in the hospital and never went home.

Now he has cancer, it's really...

Looking at the weak Gu Zeya on the hospital bed, Yu Yin felt a pang of sadness.

Gao Tong stepped forward and said softly, "Zeyao, don't be afraid. Modern medicine is advanced, and this disease can definitely be cured."

“That’s right, Sister Yao!” Yu Yin said dryly.

Gu Zeya forced a smile. "Father-in-law, Yinyin, I'm already very happy that you came to see me."

At that moment, the ward door was pushed open, and Gao Yanbo walked in.

He looked annoyed when he saw Qualcomm, but he didn't chase him away; he just ignored him!

Seeing this, Yu Yin felt a pang of anxiety and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Brother Yanbo, Uncle knows that Sister Yao is sick and is very worried, so we came to see her."

Gao Yanbo simply gave a soft "hmm," his gaze falling on Gu Zeya, and asked in a low voice, "How are you feeling?"

Gu Zeya smiled and said, "I'm much better, don't worry."

Qualcomm stood to the side, looking at Gao Yanbo, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Yu Yin carefully observed the expressions of the two people; the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Suddenly, Gu Zeya said softly, "Yanbo, I'm so happy that my father-in-law came to see me. We're all family."

Gao Yanbo forced a stiff smile and remained silent.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Gao Tong put down what he was holding. "Ah Yao, take good care of yourself. I'll head back now and come see you again in a few days!"

Seeing this, Yu Yin also took his leave.

After leaving the hospital, Gao Tong, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, "Seeing A Yao reminded me of Yan Bo's mother. She was sick and in a lot of pain back then, and I always wondered, why was she the one suffering?"

Why can't I take the torment for her?

Yu Yin comforted him, "Uncle, don't think too much about it. You said yourself that medicine is so advanced! As long as you listen to the doctor, everything will be fine!"

Qualcomm nodded. "Let's hope so!"

Yan Oi Hospital is already the best hospital, and Gu Zeyao's attending physician is also an expert in cancer treatment, and is the best doctor in Hong Kong.

If even he can't do anything about it in the end, then we can only accept our fate!

……

Because Gu Zeya had to undergo chemotherapy, a process that was extremely painful, Yu Yin and Gao Tong visited her twice, but chose not to go again because they could not bear the sight.

Gu Zeya's health condition was very poor; even drinking water would cause her to vomit, making one wonder whether living like this was a blessing or a torment.

Even Yu Yin and Gao Tong felt sorry and couldn't bear it, let alone Gu Zeya's husband, Gao Yanbo.
