Su Ye’s mother frowned and looked tenderly at her son.
Her son had always been a very strong-willed boy and no matter how many obstacles he faced and how many operations and dialysis he had to undergo as a child, he had never shed a tear.
She had never seen her child in such pain.
Su Ye pursed his thin lips and ignored his mother but immediately sat down on the sofa. He held the necklace in his hand, the necklace that he had once given to Tang Tang as a gift.
This necklace had returned to him but that young girl was no longer in this world. This pitiful young girl who died was the reason he was still alive in the first place.
“She is dead!” Su Ye eked out with difficulty and his lips started to tremble. All the light seemed to have gone out in his eyes and there was nothing left but darkness.
“Who are you referring to?” his mother asked anxiously as she sat by his side. Her heart clenched in pain when she saw how upset her son was.
“That girl…” Su Ye said softly and his voice was extremely hoarse.
His mother frowned in confusion and for a moment, she couldn’t figure out which girl her son was referring to.
However, she quickly realized that the only girl Su Ye had ever cared about was that young girl whom she had found at the orphanage and who had later donated her kidney to him.
His mother inhaled deeply and she felt very conflicted. She had always been very troubled by this matter and each time she thought about it, she overcame with guilt.
“Su Ye, did you manage to find the girl?” she tried asking and she asked this question very softly.
Su Ye let out a bitter laugh. He had spent so many years trying to find her but this was the result. She had died 21 years ago and it was all his fault.
Su Ye’s mother asked, “Su Ye, why don’t you tell me what happened? How did she die? Did you manage to find her family?”
She asked as she shook his arm and she was very worried when she saw that her son was in such a state.
Su Ye shook his head and looked at his mother. The corners of his lips were curved upward but this laugh made her feel even worse than if he were to be sobbing.
“She’s gone,” he paused for a moment before he continued, “She passed away not long after her kidney was taken away from her. Mum, what did we do?” he asked as he looked at her, a mocking glint in his eyes.
They were definitely the young girl’s murderers while He Mei was only an accomplice. They had taken what they needed from her, then tossed this young girl aside to fend for herself.
Su Ye’s mother’s heart clenched tightly and her eyes shone with tears.
She had to bear most of the responsibility for this incident.
“Su Ye, do you blame me for this?” she asked her son and the state that her son was in made her feel extremely terrible. “If you have to blame someone, lay the blame on me. I didn’t have much of a choice then since all I wanted was to save you. I wanted you to live and you were unconscious even after more than 10 days had passed after the operation, so I didn’t dare leave your bedside to search for Tang Tang. I didn’t expect He Mei to be so cruel. I had thought of adopting the girl once you got better so that she would be your younger sister in the future. I didn’t know that He Mei had secretly taken all the money that I had donated either.”
