Chapter 56
"Feel sorry..."
"Because the onset of disease is sudden...and the patient himself has severe coronary heart disease...strictly speaking...emergency transplant surgery in this case is indeed very risky..."
"But you must have seen the patient's condition... We have no choice but to try our best, but it's a pity..."
"Sorry...we really tried our best..."
In the cold ward, the attending physician lowered his head and sounded guilty and heavy.
Lu Xin, who was standing next to Jiang Cheng, said nothing, looking at the bed in the ward with dull eyes.
The undulating outline of the body was covered by a cold white cloth.
Lying in it was her only support in this life, her only spiritual sustenance.
The moment the doctor announced the time of death, Lu Xin's heart felt like death.
Tears without any warmth flowed silently from her beautiful eyes, and her face was filled with tears in an instant.
But she still held back and didn't make any sound.
He just took Jiang Cheng's right hand and squeezed it harder.
The force was so strong that even the latter's five fingers felt heartbreaking pain.
...
A night of silence.
Before dawn, a streak of fish belly white slowly appeared in the gloomy eastern sky. The darkness that originally shrouded the entire world was gradually dispelled by this first ray of light.
The morning breeze in September blew through the dim branches and leaves accumulated with dew, bringing a chill.
On a wooden bench outside the funeral home, two figures sat side by side in the faint morning light.
There was silence all around, except for the rustling sound of the neatly trimmed pine and cypress branches behind me being blown by the wind.
A burned-out cigarette butt fell silently to the ground, and was slowly crushed by a sneaker.
Jiang Cheng, whose eyes were red, looked at the cigarette butts on the ground under the bench and took a slow, deep breath.
Since Father Lu’s body was sent over for cremation yesterday evening.
The whole night, he had been sitting here with Lu Xin.
The two of them just sat quietly, not saying a word to each other.
Jiang Cheng knew that at this moment, no matter how many words of comfort he said to Lu Xin, it would be of no use.
How cruel fate was to this poor girl.
Obviously everything has a glimmer of hope.
But at the moment before dawn, he took away her only spiritual sustenance, completely crushed everything about her, and then made ruthless mockery...
She is only 18 years old and she obviously did nothing wrong.
But he was cruelly pushed into the abyss of despair.
Jiang Cheng, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, was heartbroken and helpless.
He can light a beacon for her, but in the end, Lu Xin still has to be strong enough to come out of the darkness.
But to be honest, such a painful blow in life made even Jiang Cheng sweat for her.
If you think about it from another person's perspective, if you were in such a desperate situation as Lu Xin in your previous life...I'm afraid it would be over and done with...
"Jiang Cheng..."
Just as Jiang Cheng was thinking secretly, the girl next to him moved her lips slightly, and her originally clear voice sounded dry and hoarse: "Thank you...Thank you for your continued help..."
"And..." As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly, looking dully at the artificial lake not far away, and said in a low tone: "Thank you for helping me advance the 30W surgery fee... .”
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Cheng said calmly: "You don't have to worry about money, it's just a matter of effort."
——It’s always a good thing to be willing to speak.
However, now that she was still in an extremely sad and helpless situation, Jiang Cheng was still a little worried, fearing that she would do something stupid because she couldn't think of anything.
Maybe it would be a better idea to find a way to stabilize her first and distract her from the sadness of bereavement.
"But...I really don't have the ability to repay so much money now..."
"It doesn't matter if you can't afford it now, you can pay it back slowly." Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Besides, as I said before, you can also pay it back in other ways..."
"Other ways...?"
Seeing the naughty smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, Lu Xin was stunned for a moment. After repeating something in a daze, a blush suddenly appeared on his pale and haggard cheeks.
Sure enough he...
But there's nothing we can do about it, he's a boy after all...
Whatever...I don't plan to live anymore anyway...
Just think of it as a indulgence before you leave......
If the target is him this time, then I won't have any regrets...
Thinking of this, Lu Xin bit her lips hard and nodded her head as if she had made up her mind.
"Okay, Jiang Cheng... I promise you."
"Really?"
Hearing Lu Xin's words, Jiang Cheng's smile became even bigger. He turned around and looked at the beautiful woman with a smile, saying frivolously: "Whatever I ask you to do, are you willing to agree?"
"Yeah!" Lu Xin nodded hard with blushing cheeks, saying seriously: "Whatever you want to do... you can!"
"Okay."
Jiang Cheng nodded, stood up, and stretched out his right hand to Lu Xin.
"Let's go, follow me to the hotel first."
"Ah...? Now... now?"
Hearing that the other party was so impatient, Lu Xin nervously pinched the hem of her clothes, her little face flushed.
"What? Do you regret it?"
"No...no...I mean, you, you stayed up all night with me...wouldn't it be better to take a rest first...?"
Lu Xin hesitated and suddenly recalled the news reports she had read before.
For example, a teenager who stayed up all night and exercised violently led to sudden death...
By the way...this should also be considered as intense exercise...right...?
"That's right, I just asked you to go to bed and rest first? What else can you do?"
Jiang Cheng touched his chin and replied in confusion.
"Just...just get a room to sleep? Nothing else?"
"Then what else can you do? You've stayed up all night and you plan to stay up all day?"
Lu Xin: ｡◔‸◔｡
Jiang Cheng blinked and looked at the red-faced girl inexplicably.
It seems that this girl's physical fitness is really not very good. She is obviously 18 years old, how can she stay up all night and still be so red-faced?
——Is there something wrong with her liver?
Well, I have to take her for a thorough checkup when I get a chance.
