I almost touched the moon

Chapter 369 Why Don’t You Tell Me the Truth?

After returning home, Cheng Che specially made Kansai Sukiyaki that Wen Song liked, but she had no appetite. She was afraid that Cheng Che would notice something, so she could only force herself to eat more. However, she only ate three slices of meat and half a bowl of rice before putting down her chopsticks.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Che picked up a piece of beef for her and asked in a low voice, "I checked the results of the examination and it seems that there is nothing wrong. What's wrong? Why are you so unhappy? You should eat more. You can see that Astrid eats more than you."

Astrid also looked at Wen Song with some confusion and asked: "Mama, was ist denn los? Du siehst so besorgt aus, Papa hat dieses Bild heute mit mir gemalt! Er sagte, diese Mondgättin sehe aus wie du! Aber ich finde Mama viel hubscher!"

(Mom, what's wrong? You look so worried. Dad and I drew this picture together. He said the moon goddess in the picture looks like you, but I think mom is prettier.)

"Danke honey." Wen Song finally smiled and said easily, "Just something about our project, I have to fly to Washington for a business trip on Monday, but will be back on Wednesday night."

(Thanks, babe, it's just some project stuff, I have to go to Washington on Monday for work, but I'll be back Wednesday night.)

Astrid looked a little disappointed. She looked up at Wen Song and asked expectantly, "Can Papa, Cece and I go with mama?"

Wen Song shook his head and said with an expression of embarrassment: "Sorry my princess, I'm afraid not. Cause I'll go with my colleagues and all time is occupied by work, so I won't have leisure for you."

(Sorry, my princess, it’s not possible. Because I went with my colleagues, all my time was occupied by work, and I had no time to accompany you)

Cheng Che seemed a little skeptical, but he didn't ask. He just touched Astrid's head and said, "Mama ist mit der Arbeit besch?ftigt, wir k?nnen sie nicht st?ren. She wird bald zuruck sein, also warten wiir hier zu House."

(Mom is very busy at work, so we can’t disturb her. But she will be back soon, so let’s wait for her at home.)

Before going to bed at night, Cheng Che hugged her and said, "How many of you are there? I'll contact Aiden and ask him to arrange the flight route to send you directly from San Jose to Washington. It seems that there is no direct flight route for civil aviation."

"Ah, it's okay." Wen Song smiled and said to him, "We'll take a plane from San Francisco. NASA will reimburse the airfare, so there's no need to pay for it ourselves."

"What time is the flight? Which airline?" Cheng Che asked again, "Who are you traveling with?"

"With Felix, Pugyna, and my assistant Sasha, at 1pm, United airlines." Wen Song answered fluently, poked Cheng Che and said, "Why, are you doubting me? Are you afraid that I'll cheat?"

"Of course not." Cheng Che smiled and said to her, "I'm afraid you're hiding something from me, honey. If there's really something, you absolutely can't hide it from me, okay?"

Wen Song felt a little guilty after hearing what he said, and his eyes dodged unconsciously. He pretended to be calm and looked at Cheng Che and said, "Of course, I'm not hiding anything from you."

"Send me the flight number." Cheng Che said again, "I'll take you to the airport, okay?"

"Got it." Wen Song smiled helplessly, sent him a ticket order, rubbed his head and said, "Why are you still so clingy at such a big age? In fact, NASA's driver will also take us to the airport, so there is no need to be so troublesome."

Cheng Che hugged her tightly, buried his head in her neck and said coquettishly: "I don't care, I will send you to the airport. I have always been so clingy. It's not the first day my wife knows this. You are my only wife. Who else can I cling to if not you?"

"Okay." Wen Song suddenly felt a little sad and asked inappropriately, "What if one day, I am no longer around?"

"Without you..." Cheng Che was a little surprised why she asked this, but after thinking for a while, he said, "If it weren't for Astrid, I might really commit suicide for love. But now I have Astrid. If you are gone, she will only have me. I can only take better care of her and give her more love. But I will definitely not fall in love with anyone else and will not marry anyone else. Why do you ask this suddenly? Is there really something wrong with today's examination?"

"No." Wen Song quickly denied, "I just suddenly thought of an engineer from NASA, who is about my age, but has ALS, which is incurable. I suddenly got a little scared. It's okay, let's not talk about this, go to bed, let's take Astrid to go sailing this weekend, the weather is very good this weekend, very suitable for going out to sea."

"Okay." Cheng Che lowered his head and kissed her eyebrows, and said gently, "Go to bed early, honey, and don't think too much. We will definitely be healthy and will not separate."

On Monday afternoon, Wen Song arranged his work and gave his assistants some instructions. Then he said to them apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you to act with me."

"It's okay." Felix smiled easily, "Iseylia, don't worry, I will keep your secret. I wish you a speedy recovery. But I think it's better for you to tell the truth to Roche. You are husband and wife, you shouldn't hide anything, especially things like this."

Wen Song showed a helpless smile and said to them: "I know, but Roche has a psychological trauma in this regard, and I don't want to make him sad."

After leaving the office, Cheng Che drove Wen Song to the airport by himself and asked suspiciously, "Aren't Dr. Felix and the others coming with you?"

"They said they didn't want to be a light bulb." Wen Song explained with a smile, "So they drove there themselves, and Felix and Sasha had to go to a meeting in the morning, so they went directly to the airport from there."

"Is that so..." Cheng Che still felt a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said, "Then I will just be my wife's full-time driver."

After arriving at the airport, Cheng Che insisted on watching Wen Song pass the security check before he left, and asked a few questions such as why Felix and the others hadn't arrived yet. Wen Song also knew that he was still confused, so he could only quickly pass the security check and sit in the lounge for another half an hour before he got a refund and left the airport.

At night, she leaned on the hospital bed, and the doctor's words lingered in her mind. Although the doctor said that the probability of malignancy was very small, he also told her that even if it was a malignant nodule, it was only in the early stage of breast cancer, and combined with chemotherapy and surgery, the cure rate was very high.

But she had seen cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, and she knew what breast cancer surgery meant. She was proud and attached great importance to her appearance, and had an almost anxious perfectionism, and she did not want to live without dignity.

She thought for a long time and finally made up her mind. She turned off the lights and prepared to go to bed, but she tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep.

Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open and Cheng Che walked in quickly. His eyes were red with anxiety and he still had the chill of an early spring night on his body. His voice was filled with worry and deliberately suppressed anger.

"Why didn't you tell me the truth?" Cheng Che approached her and asked, "I asked you many times about the test results, why didn't you tell me, and even lied to me that you were going on a business trip to Washington. Song Song, do you really think I'm a fool?"

"Why are you here?" Wen Song was obviously surprised, "Who told you?"
