The phone slipped from Luo Qi’s hands!
What was she saying? Her little brother had been beaten up? How could this be possible?
This morning, he’d still made breakfast for her and taken her to the door, reminding her to go home early in the evening.
Now, he’s lying on the operating table?
No, she didn’t believe it!
Luo Qi ran to the hospital, stumbling and colliding, sitting helplessly outside the operating room on a chair.
There wasn’t a soul in the hallway. Even in the daytime, the dim lights didn’t make the darkness feel any less gloomy.
Luo Qi felt cold, she could only wrap her arms around herself, but it was not enough, she still felt cold.
She buried her head in her knees, curling herself into a ball.
She felt somewhat better, but why did she feel so scared?
"Everything will be okay, everything will be okay," Luo Qi whispered incessantly.
After who knows how long, the operating room door finally opened.
"Doctor," Luo Qi stood up excitedly, yet she fell to the ground as her feet had gone numb.
"Are you okay?" A slender, powerful hand helped her to stand.
Luo Qi sharply clung to his sleeve, "How’s my brother? Is he okay? Was the surgery successful?"
"He was stabbed twice, suffered massive blood loss. I have already stitched up the wounds, so there’s no great danger for now, but..."
"But what?" Luo Qi was so nervous she felt her heart lodge in her throat!
"His eyes were also injured. The cornea is damaged if we can’t find a cornea donor, and the cost of the surgery..."
"If we find a cornea, will his eyes be fine?" "In theory, yes, but there are always risks to surgery, if..."
"No ifs, doctor, please treat him. That’s my brother, my only relative in this world, he’s my life!"
Luo Qi’s voice was hoarse, tears welling up in her eyes, but stubbornly refusing to fall.
Even the doctor, accustomed to the specter of life and death, was moved.
"Don’t worry, I will do my best. But the matching of the cornea... you should be prepared!"
"I’m going to find it. I will find a match. Please arrange a private room for my brother. I will pay the fees now and then find a way," Luo Qi stood up from the ground, her face blank, whispering words to herself.
Seeing her , the doctor did not feel at ease, so he followed her.
Luo Qi had spent all her savings on her mother’s surgery and burial.
She took out all her cards, but even maxing them out wouldn’t be enough to cover the surgery costs!
"If you don’t pay, you can’t be admitted," the nurse said coldly.
They had already arranged for the surgery in advance, which was exceedingly generous. After all, the hospital was no charity.
If everyone did this, how could they stay in business?
"Can he stay for half a day? I’ll go collect the money now and will return soon. Perhaps three hours... I promise I’ll be back in three hours." Luo Qi was almost on her knees begging.
Just as the nurse was about to refuse, a clear, water-like voice rang out, "Let her arrange it."
Luo Qi turned her head to find the doctor had followed her at some point.
"Thank you," Luo Qi kept saying.
"You’re left with two hours and fifty-five minutes. Shouldn’t you hurry out now?"
Luo Qi said nothing more and immediately left!
After Ye Ranran, who was repackaged by Meisei, returned to the villa with One’s escort.
Chu Ji wanted to follow, but Ye Ranran kicked him back to his lair.
"Rest up these few days. I will handle the press!" If others found out about Ye Ranran and Chu Ji’s injuries, it would inevitably generate a lot of rumors.
