The call finally went through, and the moment she heard Gu Juntao's voice, she started crying and complaining to her son, saying she had cancer and that no one cared about her life or death.
"I really don't want to live anymore! But just think about how happy your father must be now. He's been waiting for me to die for a long time, and once I'm gone, he can freely find someone else to annoy. Son, you're all I have left, right? You wouldn't just leave me alone, would you? You wouldn't want me to die, would you?" she said, crying pitifully as she spoke.
For Gu Juntao, it felt like a bolt from the blue. His mother diagnosed with cancer? After all these years of fuss, there never seemed to be anything wrong with her health? He was shocked and heartbroken, wanting to console her, but in the end, he felt it was meaningless; she was going to die, she had cancer, and he could only try to comfort his mother with difficulty.
