Chapter 43

  Yan Bai turned around, and Yuan Zhi was being held tightly by several people. On the hospital bed moving forward, lying on it was He Sheng who had fallen into a coma, with an oxygen tank attached and receiving blood transfusion. The little kid who was still full of energy when he went in, came out looking like half his life was gone. Yuan Zhi's eyes turned red with anxiety, struggling desperately made the veins on his forehead bulge, as if he had reached the peak of fury.

  "Let me go! What have you done to her?" Yuan Zhi's hoarse voice echoed despairingly in the corridor.

  A nurse warned: "Remember this is a hospital, please keep your voice down!"

  "Get out of here, give me back my He Song!"

  The scene was chaotic, and He Sheng had already been quickly pushed towards the ICU.

  "I want an explanation." Yan Bai turned back to the doctor, "What's going on?"

  Dr. Zhang took off his mask and glanced at Zhu Meiyan who was standing silently beside him, furrowing his brow, "Didn't you make it clear to them?"

  Zhu Meiyan's face turned pale and she shook her head, "No."

  Dr. Zhang looked at her disapprovingly, but also knew that there was more to the story today. He then turned to Yan Bai and said, "Today's surgery is a kidney transplant. Yuan Shuyun's physical condition does not currently allow for a bone marrow transplant." He paused, then continued, "In the future it may not be possible either, and we can only rely on medication and chemotherapy to sustain her."

  Yan Bai's eyes widened in incredulity, his fists clenched at his sides as he turned to Zhu Meiyan, who was pale-faced but trying to remain calm. "Ma'am, isn't this going too far?"

  A good person was quietly taken away and had their kidney removed, it's hard to accept that people can be so heartless.

  "She's just a kid!" Yan Bai struggled to suppress the surging emotions in his chest. "Don't you guys take people as humans anymore?"

  Zhu Meiyan suddenly looked up at him, her hand clutching the handbag tightened again and again. She took a deep breath and trembled with voice: "I have no choice, Shu Yun's complications came too fiercely, it was just leukemia at first, but then kidney failure was detected, and the situation is very serious. Her body can't withstand so much, only kidney transplantation can be done, I want her to live!"

  Yan Bai also raised his voice in anger at this time, "Why didn't you mention it earlier?"

  "They won't agree if I say it ahead of time." Zhu Meiyan suddenly burst into tears, covering her face tightly and shaking her head continuously, choking with sobs: "Yuan Zhi will absolutely not let He Sheng donate a kidney to Shu Yun, I just want my child to live."

  Yuan Zhi had already walked up to them, his eyes staring crazily at Zhu Meiyan with a cold glint. His facial muscles were trembling slightly due to extreme anger. "Is Yuan Shuyun human and He Xiang not? Does she want to live while He Xiang deserves to have his kidney taken by you? If you want to save your daughter, why don't you give her one of your own kidneys?"

  He slapped Zhu Meiyan with a loud shout: "Why don't you go die!"

  This slap stunned everyone around, and they watched in shock as Yuan Zhi rushed forward like a madman to beat Zhu Meiyan to death before coming back to his senses and stopping him.

  "Yuan Zhi, calm down, don't make a scene here." Yan Bai yelled, grabbing his arms.

  Zhu Meiyan couldn't donate her kidney to Yuan Shuyun due to physical conditions, which Yan Bai knew but Yuan Zhi and others didn't. Even if physically allowed, having a readily available kidney source doesn't necessarily mean one would personally take action.

  "Calm down? Can calmness bring back what's been lost to He Xing? Can it bring back her kidney?! Yuan Zhi panted heavily, his body constantly struggling against the person holding him from behind. His eyes welled up with tears as he roared in a near-collapse: "What right do you people have to bully her?! Come at me if you dare! Come take my kidney! You grown-ups are wasting your energy on this little kid and don't even think it's shameful? What did she ever do to provoke you?! Why?! For what reason?!"

  He raised his trembling hand, pointing at Zhu Meiyan, his eyes red as if from hell, and shouted hoarsely: "I curse you to die a terrible death! I want to see what kind of good ending you can get, you bunch of trash."

  Zhu Meiyan stumbled backward, startled by the undisguised disgust and hatred on Yuan Zhi's face. The cold aura emanating from her beautiful face was terrifying. She looked down at the ground and said in a low voice, "I'm very sorry about this. I'll try my best to make it up to her."

  Yuan Zhi yelled mercilessly: "Compensate my ass, what do you have to compensate with? If you're capable, your mother would've gotten rid of you as soon as you were born. What a disgusting woman, how dare you live in this world?"

  Yan Bai knew that advising Yuan Zhi at this time was like arguing with himself, so he coldly said to Zhu Meiyan: "Leave first, otherwise it will only get more and more out of hand."

  Zhu Meiyan coldly raised her head and looked at him, then hastily ran away, as if fleeing in a hurry. Behind her, Yuan Zhi's voice was still shouting and scolding, his desperate and angry roars sending chills down one's spine.

  It wasn't until a long time later that the corridor finally quieted down again, and the sunlight outside was still abundant, quietly slipping in through the window and clearly outlining its frame on the ground.

  Several men in suits and leather shoes realized that Yuan Zhi was no longer a threat and let him go. Yan Bai looked at Yuan Zhi, who was silent and didn't know what to say for a moment. The next second, the other party suddenly sat down on the ground, as if all his energy had been drained away in an instant. The raging fire that had just been about to overturn the house was extinguished without warning, like being doused with water.

  The young man's backbone softened and bent at this moment, with a noticeable tremble.

  Yuan Zhi stared at the ground, still unable to believe that a good person had been ruined like this. He had watched with his own eyes as He Shuang walked in, her obedient and innocent appearance, unaware of anything, and was taken away by someone who removed her kidney.

  Yuan Zhi's hands, propped against the ground, gripped the seams of the floor tiles tightly, and he didn't know how to relieve the pain that was constantly swelling in his heart. It was all because he hadn't taken good care of He Sheng, it was all his fault.

  Yan Bai walked up to him and squatted down, Yuan Zhi's eyes were filled with self-blame and sorrow, misty as if something was about to overflow, but upon closer inspection, they were empty and hollow.

  "I'm also sad about this matter, but as long as I pay more attention in the future, having one less kidney won't have any impact on my body, don't worry too much."

  Yuan Zhi gave him a faint glance, turned pale and sneered, his voice hoarse: "Get out, I don't want to see you bunch of disgusting people, you're no exception, none of you are good stuff."

  Yan Bai knew it was pointless to say anything now, so he patted his shoulder and stood up to leave.

  He Shuang was transferred to a general ward on the second day after anesthesia thoroughly woke up, and the doctor came to check her every day. The wound across her abdomen made Yuan Zhi see it every time, and every time she saw it, it felt like someone was hitting her head with a stick, and she couldn't bear the dull pain.

  He Sheng knew he had lost a kidney and was stunned, then grabbed Yuan Zhi's hand. His pale face, due to excessive blood loss, showed a faint smile as he softly comforted him, saying: "I don't hurt."

  At that moment, Yuan Zhi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly lowered his head and lay on He Sheng's hospital bed, crying silently like a child who had been wronged to the extreme.

  He Sheng saw him like this and became anxious, but he couldn't get up, so he could only touch Yuan Zhi's head one by one, clumsily saying: "Don't be sad, it doesn't hurt, you're uncomfortable and I'm uncomfortable too."

  In the end, it's already nasal, no matter how you say it, it's just a 17-year-old kid, being deceived into losing a kidney, saying that I'm not afraid at all is fake.

  Yuan Zhi didn't want her to see his disheveled appearance, so he rubbed his face on the quilt and then quickly lay half of his body on the bed, gently wrapping his arms around He Sheng. He buried his head in the crook of her neck, calling out her name repeatedly, as if this would make his girl okay again, lively and energetic in front of him.

  He Shuang rubbed his chin against the back of her head, and felt the warm, wet sensation sliding over her neck, as if the heat was pouring into her heart like a living thing.

  Want to comfort him, Yuan Zhi, really not hurt!

  But she didn't dare speak up, fearing that if she did, Yuan Zhi would become even more heartbroken. The tears of a young man were too precious, and she couldn't bear to lose any more.
