In the ward.
Luo Chenxi put down her cell phone and said, “Mommy, there must’ve been a problem with Young Master Mu’s cell phone, so I called his assistant and explained everything to him instead. That should do it. Let’s just wait for now.”
Lu Wenjun glanced at her. “Is that so?”
She was still clearly doubtful of what Luo Chenxi said.
As Luo Chenxi was about to say something, her cell phone suddenly rang.
She picked up the call at once. “Assistant Zhuo?”
“Young madam, I’m really sorry! The chairman said that he couldn’t come because he has something to do. I… I’ve tried my best, I’m sorry!”
Zhuo Feng quickly said and hung up the phone in a flash.
“Hello? Wait, at least explain…”
Luo Chenxi held her cell phone tightly as she became vexed.
Lu Wenjun said coldly, “Enough, how can you still be looking for excuses after all of this? You don’t have to say anything more! Go and get me checked out of the hospital, I’m getting discharged today!”
“Mommy! How… how can you do this? Do you even know how bad your condition is right now? I’ve already gotten Luo Anguo to hand over your medical records and miscellaneous materials to the National Medical Centerand and put you at the top of the priority list, you’ll be able to get a heart transplant in no time. So, please just bear with it for a few more days…
“I’ve already married into the Mu Family anyway, so it’s too late for us to say anything now. I’ll just leave once you’re done with the transplant.”
Luo Chenxi tried her best to convince Lu Wenjun to stay.
Lu Wenjun’s face was filled with grief and indignation, “Do you think Luo Anguo will let go off a pawn like you so easily? He surely won’t! As long as I’m still here, he will continue to use me to threaten you again in the future!
“I know my own body well enough! So, I’m aware that I won’t be able to live anymore longer than I’m supposed to even after getting a heart transplant. There’s no need to wager the rest of your life into this!”
“Mommy! How can you say that? Doctor Lin has already said it before, patients with similar conditions like you can live around 20 years longer after a heart transplant!”
However, Lu Wenjun was just as stubborn as Luo Chenxi.
No one could stop Lu Wenjun once she decided to leave the hospital.
She pulled out the drip needle in her hand and struggled to get down from the bed.
The sound from the commotion alerted the nurses on duty. They hurried in and worked together with Luo Chenxi to try to stop Lu Wenjun.
Later, even Lin Sheng caught wind of the commotion and rushed over to the ward.
“Ms. Lu, what are you… sigh… Miss Luo, please come out with me for a moment.”
Luo Chenxi also wanted to talk about the matter with Lin Sheng in private, so she quickly followed him to a spot on the corridor without anybody else.
Lin Sheng said, “Ms. Luo, I’ve been wanting to ask you for a long time, are you currently having financial difficulties? If you really are stuck in a tight situation, don’t hesitate to come to me for help. I have some money saved up myself, so I can lend you some.”
Luo Chenxi was stunned. “Doctor Lin, you’re saying…”
Lin Sheng took a step forward and said anxiously, “You mustn’t give up now! It’s not easy to be able to get in the queue for a heart transplant!”
Luo Chenxi shook her head. “You’ve got it wrong, this isn’t about the money. It’s just that, things are kind of complicated in my family, so my mommy can’t wait to get discharged… Doctor, please help me think of a way to make her stay! Keep her from leaving! Especially at times when I’m not visiting!”
“Miss Luo, rest assured, I’ll do my best. However… if the patient strongly requests to give up on medical treatment, we will have no right to force her to stay. This place is just a mere medical institution after all.”
“I understand. So, when my mommy tries to leave, just tell her this…”
Luo Chenxi tugged on Lin Sheng’s sleeve as a sign for him to lower his head.
Looking at the woman’s pale little face, a strong protective desire arose in Lin Sheng’s heart.
He subconsciously followed her movements and bent down slightly.
“Tell her…”
Luo Chenxi leaned close to his ear. Just as she was about to speak, a powerful force suddenly came from behind and pulled her back abruptly.
Luo Chenxi was caught off guard and staggered as she took a few steps back. Then, her back eventually hit on a firm wall of flesh.
An angry voice came from beside her ear. “What are you two doing?”
Luo Chenxi turned around abruptly and widened her eyes in shock.
Mu… Mu Yichen?
