Chapter 51 - 51 Good Luck
51 Good Luck
“Are you okay?”
Le Wan noticed that Zhai Jing seemed distracted during the entire course. She knew Zhai Jing was thinking about his mother’s condition.
“If you can’t stop worrying, you can go back to the hospital first. I can revise according to the schedule.”
“I’m fine.” Zhai Jing refused.
He was indeed worried about his mother’s condition. Ever since the emergency treatment, although she had regained consciousness, her condition was visibly worse than before.
However, in the face of such a situation, no matter how anxious he was, it would be useless even if he stayed by her side.
The only way to save mother Zhai was to change her kidney. However, they had been waiting for many years and still had not found suitable kidneys. Even the doctors didn’t have much hope for this.
These few days, mother Zhai seemed slightly better. She was always leaving the courtyard. She was thinking about the flowers that were planted on the balcony and wanted to go home to take a look.
She must have guessed his physical condition and knew he might not be able to hold on for long. Looking at Zhai Jing’s hard work, she could not help but feel heartache. She thought that since there was no hope, she might as well give up the treatment and reduce Zhai Jing’s burden.
But how could Zhai Jing agree? Even if there was a slim chance, he wouldn’t give up. Even if the medicine was useless and he could only wait for death in the end, he hoped that his mother would stay in the hospital. The hospital had medicine that could alleviate her pain and reduce the torture she would suffer before she left. He could not face her pleading. Hence, he could only avoid her.
Le Wan really wanted to help him, but a kidney source was something that could only be found by luck, and she couldn’t think of any better way.
At this moment, the phone on the table rang. Le Wan glanced at the broken screen of the phone, but she could no longer see the caller ID.
Should I find an excuse to change his phone?
Just as this thought emerged in Le Wan’s mind, she saw that Zhai Jing’s face had turned a little paler. Her heart trembled. Could it be a call from the hospital?
Zhai Jing looked at his phone for two seconds before he picked it up and walked out of the coffee shop to answer the call.
Le Wan looked out of the glass window and saw a young man in a thin layer of clothes leaning against the wall, listening to the voice on the other side of the phone with his head lowered. She felt bad for him.
Humans seemed to be so powerful and could change many things, but in the face of death, everything would become pale and powerless.
In the past, she didn’t understand why so many people would pray to the gods. It was only when she was faced with a situation where nothing she could do could save her and she could only pray desperately for a miracle that she understood that feeling.
After two or three minutes, Zhai Jing hung up the phone. Le Wan quickly pulled herself out of her thoughts and watched as he pushed the door open and walked in hurriedly.
Le Wan looked at him and noticed that his eyes were red. Her heart ached. Just as she was thinking about how to comfort him and help him, Zhai Jing came over and hugged her. Le Wan could clearly feel the trembling of his body, and she hugged him back with heartache.
She wanted to say something to comfort him, but nothing she could say would really comfort him. She opened her mouth for a long time and finally said,
“Let’s go to the hospital first, okay?”
However, Zhai Jing suddenly laughed out loud.
Le Wan was confused. Why was he laughing at this time? Terrible! Could it be that Zhai Jing had suffered such a huge blow that he was mentally unstable?
“Sis Wu called to say that the hospital has just found a suitable kidney.” Zhai Jing’s joyful voice came from her shoulder.
“Ah!”
Le Wan was stunned for two seconds before she realized what he meant. She said in surprise,
“Really? That’s great!”
She felt a little ashamed when she thought about how she had assumed that something bad had happened to his mother. She couldn’t help but pat him.
“That’s a good thing. Then why did you look like that just now?” She had misunderstood him.
Zhai Jing released her.
“Le Wan.”
This was the first time Le Wan had heard him call her name in such a serious tone. She could not help but tense up.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’ve been thinking if I had to use up all my luck in this life to meet you.”
Le Wan was a bit confused.
“What are you talking about? Why does it sound like you’re unlucky to have met me?”
“No, it’s the opposite.”
Zhai Jing looked at her. His eyes seemed to be filled with stars.
“You are all my luck.”
