Chapter 626: Chapter 626: An Accident
Jiang Yibai was feeling weary and didn’t bother to argue with the other person. He simply sat on the blue chair, hoping that Cheng Suisui would come out safe and sound.
Not for any other reason but because she was Mengmeng’s good friend.
He didn’t want her to be sad.
About half an hour later, the doors of the operating room finally opened.
Cheng’s mother and father immediately ran to the doctor, anxious and frightened, and asked, “Doctor, how is my daughter doing now?”
“She’s temporarily out of danger, but the young girl’s condition is getting worse. She should have a heart transplant as soon as possible. Otherwise, even with good care, she won’t live more than three to five years.”
Cheng’s mother had initially felt elated upon hearing the first part, but as she listened to the second part, her heart sank, and her legs gave out.
If Cheng’s father hadn’t been holding her tightly from behind, she would have certainly collapsed on the floor at that moment.
“How could this happen, my poor daughter…” Cheng’s mother’s tears fell without stopping, like a broken string of beads.
The gravity of the doctor’s words, “won’t live more than three to five years,” echoed relentlessly in Jiang Yibai’s mind as well.
“Excuse us, let’s first move the young lady into the ward,” said the doctor, apparently accustomed to such despairing looks from family members. His expression was numb as he directly pushed Cheng Suisui into the ward.
In the ward, Cheng’s mother, looking at the pale-faced Cheng Suisui, clutched Cheng’s father’s hand tightly. “Lao Cheng, go find a heart source! No matter the cost, we must buy it!”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely find a suitable heart for our daughter,” Cheng’s father’s eyes also brimmed with redness.
“Also, go apply for Suisui to graduate early. I can’t let her go to school anymore. It’s not good for her recovery,” Cheng’s mother added immediately afterward.
“Okay,” Cheng’s father agreed as he had the same thought.
So from then on, Cheng Suisui stayed at home, unable to attend school again…
Mengmeng only found out about it a few days later.
After school, she had Gu Zhihan, who came to pick her up, take her straight to Cheng Suisui’s house.
“Suisui, how is your health now?”
When Mengmeng arrived, Cheng Suisui was alone on the balcony, playing with her painting.
“Wuwu, finally someone has come to see me. You have no idea how close I was to dying of boredom!” Upon hearing the voice, Suisui immediately threw down her paintbrush and flung herself at Mengmeng to embrace her.
Gu Zhihan, who had been expressionless until now, finally showed a reaction, raising his hand to separate the two.
“Why so stingy! A hug isn’t going to take a piece off you!” Suisui rolled her eyes at him discontentedly, then pulled Mengmeng aside to whisper secrets meant for girls only, “Don’t worry, I’m in good shape. It’s just that my parents are really overreacting. They’re worried about me getting stressed at school or something, so they won’t let me attend anymore.”
“Ah, you have no idea how boring my life is now. My days are just eat, sleep, and then eat again. Even when I step outside, the nanny and bodyguards follow me closely. It’s insanely annoying!” Cheng Suisui sighed heavily.
“Why do I feel like you’re bragging?”
Mengmeng looked at her with an indescribable expression.
Being pampered with good food and drink every day, not to mention having a nanny and bodyguards following her whenever she leaves the house—that’s practically the epitome of high-class life!
“Bragging about what!” Suisui also shot her an eye-roll.
Mengmeng shrugged her shoulders and continued to probe, “You’d better tell me what happened a few days ago that suddenly landed you in the hospital for emergency treatment?”
