“Although the agreement was signed before, that was only in the event that the person is confirmed deceased. Who would want their child, who’s still alive, to…”
As the woman spoke, she covered her face with her hands and couldn’t help but want to cry. She struggled to hold it in.
“So, we just accept this?”
The auntie’s face was stiff, and her eyes turned even redder. “As far as I know, your daughter, Lili, is the one whose case is the most urgent. If…”
“I know!”
The woman sniffed hard. Reining in her emotions, she smiled and said, “But what can I do?
“Hurt someone else?
“I also want to be a little selfish. As long as my daughter lives, I don’t care who lives or dies!
“But… Lili found out about this just now.
“She said to me, ‘Mom, although I’ve always wanted to be healthy, if it’s at the cost of hurting that big sister, then I would rather not live.’ She doesn’t want me and her father to be indebted to anyone, because she knows that we will always feel guilty over this! Because of her… So, I, I…”
As the woman spoke, she couldn’t help but cry at the thought of her daughter. She gripped the auntie’s hands tightly.
The auntie’s heart ached.
After a long while, the woman pulled herself together and continued, “Sister He, I don’t want to persuade all of you, nor do I want to; if making all this noise can create an outcome, it’ll also help me. I just want to say, however, that no matter what you do, you have to consider your children more. Don’t let them feel burdened. They know just as much as we do.”
“But…”
When the woman was done talking, the auntie and everyone else were dazed.
That was right. The auntie’s own son, for example, had been talented since he was young. He was outstanding in everything he did and was a wonder. He never made a fuss, and was as obedient as anything!
He was clearly sick, and often hurt so much that he almost stopped breathing, but he never said much unless he really couldn’t take it.
Sometimes, she was even angry at him. She wished that he wasn’t so docile, but she was also afraid that he would be bullied. However, he always said that being a kind-hearted person was what kept him in a good frame of mind. He chose to be kind for himself, not for anyone else. Of course, he would also try his best to protect himself, and he hoped that Mom wouldn’t worry about him.
If he knew that for his sake, his mother…
The auntie couldn’t help but want to burst into tears. In the end, she gave up on pursuing the matter, and silently led the woman back.
The people who had followed along also lowered their heads. They were either sad or full of despair, and no longer wanted to make a scene.
The woman even came to apologize to Lu An, saying that the man who had rushed out to attack Lu An in a fit of anger this morning was her husband. She hoped that Lu An would go easy on him on account of the situation.
Lu An was silent and didn’t say anything. Her black eyes were fixed on this group of people. Even if they had been hostile earlier, she still chose to forgive them.
There were many people in the world who bore ill will, including many who were helpless and chose to turn bad in times of adversity. Those who were forced to do so admittedly deserved some sympathy, and it was these sorts of people who deserved a little more kindness.
If they weren’t worthy of help, then who was?
“So, you know that I saved Liu Yumin, causing your loved ones to lose their chance at an organ transplant that might save their lives. Then, why didn’t you think about my astonishing medical skills and how I might be able to save your loved ones?”
