Doctor Luo didn’t have the heart to watch the girl’s hopeless looking eyes, “Hence, there aren’t any sources so she couldn’t have the surgery today. It would require a long time to look for a new source. According to your mother’s current situation, she wouldn’t be able to live for more than three days.”

Ning Qing took a few steps back. She shook her head in disbelief as she gripped the few cheques in her hand tightly. That was ridiculous.

The hospital said that they wanted money and she went to get it. She was humiliated by Xu

Junxi, she was sold by Ning Zhenguo, she was hit really hard in the private room by the man, just to get the one million dollars. But she couldn’t cry.

She didn’t ask for much. She only hoped for her mom to go through her surgery successfully and stay by her side forever.

Why would God pull such a joke on her? She only had her mom and why couldn’t she save her mom in the end?

What else could she do then?

Why must she be that helpless?

Ning Qing walked forward and pulled Doctor Luo’s white robe. She said in a hurry, “Doctor Luo, send me my mother’s liver report. I will go and try to look for one in the other hospitals. If not, I will go to the streets. There are so many people on the street. There must be a match somewhere. Give me three days. There must be someone who is willing to save my mom...”

“Ning, calm down...” Looking at the tears flowing down the girl’s cheek as she babbled, Doctor Luo held her shoulder and tried to calm her down.

Ning Qing pushed away his hand and ran forward. She persisted for so long but she was defeated. There was no focus in her eyes, her face was as pale as a sheet. She muttered to herself, “No, there’s no time... There’s no time...”

She ran two steps and suddenly her vision turned dark, she fainted on the ground.

“Ning, Ning, hurry up. Help her...”

...

When Ning Qing opened her eyes again, she felt light-headed and weak all over. She couldn’t move her body.

There was a flash of brightness in her eyes and her nose was filled with the scent of disinfectant. She was in the ward.

“Mom!” She suddenly thought of her mom and she had a cold sweat. She suddenly shot up from the sick bed but then nearly stumbled and fall again due to her failing energy.

A pair of hands supported her in time. She lifted her eyes and saw the gentleman again, Zhu Rui.

Zhu Rui smiled politely, “Miss Ning, don’t panic. Your mom already did her liver transplant surgery. The surgery went really well.”

“What?” Ning Qing’s eyes were wide opened. She was surprised.

She couldn’t believe it. For the past three years, the pair of mother and daughter were in bad shape. She never once hoped for such a stroke of great luck to fall upon them.

Zhu Rui nodded to reassure, “Yes, Miss Ning. I didn’t lie to you. This morning when I follow you to the hospital, you fainted. I call my president after I learned of the situation. The president helped you. We found a donor and did the surgery.”

Lu Shaoming?

The handsome face popped up in Ning Qing’s head again. Somehow, her racing heart suddenly calmed down. Whenever he was around, she felt an unexplainable sense of security.

She never thought that he would help her once again.

“How about my mom? I want to see her.”

“She just had the surgery and we arranged for her to stay in the Intensive Care Unit. She hasn’t woken up yet. There are doctors and nurses who look after her. So, Miss Ning doesn’t have to worry. On the contrary, the doctor said that you are too stressed out and your body isn’t in good condition. Hence, you fainted. You have to sleep and rest up.”

Ning Qing nodded. She pushed away the blanket and got off the bed, “I’m okay. I want to see my mom.”

Ning Qing stood by the door and looked inside through the window. Her mom was lying down on the bed with her eyes closed. There were two professional nurses looking after her. Her ECG looked normal.

She blinked and felt a tingling sensation at the tip of her nose. No one knew how hopeless she felt before she fainted. Actually, she was very lonely. She only had her mom.

Her mom had not been the happiest during her life. She’s a traditional woman and dedicated all her life to the Ning family and her daughter. She was abandoned by her husband and tortured by sickness. Her mom was suffering too.

If she were to let her mom die due to sickness... Her mom’s life was too sad. She would die of self-blame, she would die of guilt, she would die of heartache...

Luckily, mom was saved. Luckily... There’s Lu Shaoming...

She didn’t know how Lu Shaoming found a suitable donor in such a short time. But she didn’t find it weird as the rich could take care of any problem very quickly.

It would cost more than a thousand a days of special care. She even had a professional caretaker... Lu Shaoming was very considerate and he helped her to take care of all the concern.

Why would he do that for her?

She’s only a stranger.

“Miss Ning, don’t worry. The surgery went really well. I believe she will wake up very soon. If the treatment was done well, she will live for a long time.”

“Mm...” Ning Qing nodded. She looked at Zhu Rui and said hesitantly, “Lu...” She didn’t know how to refer to Lu Shaoming. She was embarrassed, “Where’s President Lu now? I want to thank him personally.”

“President Lu has an important meeting and he couldn’t leave. Hence, he sent me here to take care of the situation. If you have anything to tell the president, you can call him.”

Ning Qing tucked her hair behind her ear and she blushed in embarrassment, “Mm... I shall give him a call.”

...n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ning Qing returned to her room and took out her phone. He called the other day so she still had his number.

She pressed the call button and someone answered as soon as it rang, “Hello...” His distinct low magnetic voice was just like him. It was like a glass of wine that was aged for a hundred years. It gave her goosebumps.

Ning Qing put her hand into the baggy ward uniform. There was a maple tree outside and the autumn leaves grew luxuriantly. It was covered in brilliant redness.

“Hello, President Lu. About my mom, thank you,” Ning Qing weighed her choice of words and spoke carefully, “And, tell me how much you spend for my mother. Although I can’t afford to pay you back now, I can write up an agreement and I will return it to you with interest when I have the money.”

The man on the other side was quiet. His breathing was so light that Ning Qing was suspicious as to whether he was even listening.

She felt restless. He helped her but she’d rather measure their relationship with money. She didn’t have money but she couldn’t afford anything else besides money.

Was he upset?

A minute later, he spoke slowly as he smiled, “President Lu, huh? Are you my staff? Are you so much in a hurry to make our relationship clear? Alright, no need to return my money. We don’t keep in touch anymore.”

“You!” Ning Qing was at loss of words. Her hand in the pocket was gripped into a fist. She kept quiet.

She merely just said a word and he cut her off. Such a cunning man.

“Why? Are you loathe to leave me?” The man asked. In his deep voice, he was like twittering yet rather flirtatiously, “A liar who meant contrary to what is spoken.”

Who, who’s the liar?

Ning Qing pouted but she couldn’t help but smile. She thought, he must be a man who’s good at flirting.

“Ning Qing,” Lu Shaoming called her name on the other side of the phone. It sounded especially nice, proper and respectful when he called her name. “I am not short of money but I am in need of a wife. Bring your household registration and identification card. I’ll wait for you.”
