Chapter 263: I Choose to Survive_1
Therefore, her adoptive father’s illness had occurred because of her, uncurable, and was now only sustained by dialysis.
The adoptive father had raised her for ten years, a great kindness in itself, and had gone through ten years of dialysis because of her, yet the adoptive father and mother had never complained to her.
She had considered letting her adoptive father take the regret pill, to prevent saving her, so he wouldn’t have to suffer from kidney disease. But the adoptive father refused to take the pill.
She had thought of taking the regret pill herself and, after being saved by her adoptive father and returned to the island, leaving immediately to avoid any trouble from Geshu Chen, but the adoptive father had refused to let her go and continued to protect her, eventually driving Geshu Chen away.
The warmth her adoptive parents showered her with was something she had become too attached to, so much so that after a few failures, she no longer wished to take the regret pill, in order to not lose their connection.
But why was it that every person who had tried to save her ended up suffering themselves in the end?
Isn’t it that kindness should be rewarded with kindness?
She had initially thought that even if they couldn’t find a suitable kidney for transplantation, she would simply support Doctor Bo’s research into artificial kidneys. She believed that her adoptive father would one day recover, but now, before she could reach that day, the doctor told her that her father didn’t have long left to live. How could she accept that?
It had only been a few days since their last phone call when her father was still laughing and talking to her in the video call on WeChat…
Now she was regretting sending the regret pill she had cried out last month to Yanbei last night. Otherwise, she could now take the regret pill, return to the moment when she first met her father. She would definitely leave her father immediately, and kill Geshu Chen!
But now, even if she cried her eyes blind, she couldn’t cry out a regret pill for the month…
Night Monarch Qing didn’t know how long she had cried, cried that his heart was about to shatter, he even wanted to use his own method to help prolong his father’s life, but…
For her father, that would only be the start of another torture. He did not know if that would help him, or harm him?
Later, as the day broke completely, the entire floor of the hospital came to life, people buying breakfast went to buy breakfast, those who needed to wash their faces went to the public restroom to do so. Night Monarch Qing took Ye Xingguang, whose eyes were red from crying but had quieted down, back to the ward.
He asked, “What do you want to eat in the morning?”
Ye Xingguang did not have an appetite.
Bai Lanwu had already gotten up, and Night Monarch Qing greeted her, “Mom.”
“You’re here.” Bai Lanwu also did not look well.
Night Monarch Qing said, “I’ll go and buy some food for both of you, what can dad eat?”
“He had noodles for breakfast yesterday and barely ate a few bites before throwing up.”
Night Monarch Qing nodded and walked out of the hospital, deciding what to order at the local breakfast shop.
Xiao Yun followed him, “Monarch, given the situation, should we start making funeral arrangements?”
After all, arranging events following a death is a complicated process that requires planning. They couldn’t wait until the person was actually gone before rushing to prepare, Xiao Yun was just trying to be thoughtful.
However, Night Monarch Qing didn’t rush to answer, instead he asked a question: “Xiao Yun, if you were about to die, and there was a way to prolong your life, but it wasn’t a good way, in fact it was only the beginning of another form of torture, would you choose to live or leave?”
Xiao Yun answered without hesitation, “I choose to live.”
Night Monarch Qing pondered, “But it’s just the start of another torture.”
Xiao Yun said, “I still have my parents, I still have people I long for, even if it’s just another form of torture, I would choose to live, it’s better to be a surviving straggler than to die well. Monarch, why do you ask this question, do you have a way to save Miss Ye’s father?”
