22: Chapter 22 Gu's Mother is Hospitalized
Monday, another annoying day.
Su Yue lay bored on Gu Yanchen's desk, watching him focus intently on his test paper, and pursed her lips.
There are only two days left until the apocalypse, why is he being so serious!
Her small, soft, boneless hand inched its way up his thigh, but just as she was about to reach her destination, her hand was grabbed.
"Behave!"
Su Yue refused, intent on acting against him; she slipped her other small hand inside his clothes and slowly began drawing circles.
Gu Yanchen's breathing quickened, and ink stained the test paper, looking like a plum blossom had bloomed.
"Stop messing around, Baby."
[Su Yue really is a little temptress; if they weren't in the classroom, he definitely wouldn't let her off!]
Su Yue wanted to hear more, but seeing him start doing the test paper again with a straight face, she felt a bit bored.
Just then, his phone rang. Gu Yanchen glanced at it, saw it was an unknown number, and hung up directly.
Within a minute, the phone rang again. He hung up immediately, as he considered it a nuisance call.
Seeing his phone ringing again like a death knell, Su Yue spoke up: "Is it possible someone has an emergency and is looking for you? Why don't you answer it and see?"
Gu Yanchen frowned, intending to blacklist the number, but hearing Su Yue, he paused and answered the call. Before he could speak, an urgent voice came from the other end: "Are you Gu Yanchen? Your mother is currently in the Hospital; you need to come over immediately!"
Gu Yanchen stood up abruptly, his chair making a jarring sound that showed how much force he had used, and he bolted outside.
Su Yue had also heard the content of the call and followed closely behind.
The two rushed to the Hospital.
Gu Yanchen asked anxiously: "Doctor, how is my mother?"
"The situation is not good. Your mother already has leukemia, yet she isn't allowed to rest properly."
"What a patient needs most is rest!"
The doctor's words hit him like a bolt from the blue. Gu Yanchen leaned against the wall, defeated, his face full of self-reproach.
Su Yue stood by his side without saying a word.
After a while, Gu Yanchen composed himself and walked into the ward.
Seeing Mother Gu covered in medical equipment, he wanted to shed tears but held them back.
"Mom, how are you feeling?"
"A-Yan, Mom is already content to have been able to accompany you until now. Don't worry about Mom." Mother Gu tried hard to force a smile, while her heart was bleeding.
The person she was most worried about was A-Yan; what would he do if she died?
"Mom, what are you saying? You will definitely live a long life; you still have to watch me get married and have children!"
Mother Gu suddenly saw Su Yue behind him and beckoned to her.
Su Yue stepped forward obediently and said: "Auntie, you will definitely be fine."
"Thank you, Su Yue. Can Auntie ask a favor of you?"
She knew her son liked the young girl; she couldn't say she liked Su Yue very much, but she didn't reject her either.
"Auntie, please tell me."
"After I am gone, I want to ask you to help take care of A-Yan. Can you promise Auntie?"
Gu Yanchen cried out: "Mom!"
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely take good care of him." Su Yue's eyes reddened slightly. In truth, Mother Gu was really kind. In her past life, she had caused Mother Gu's death, and in this life, Mother Gu still hadn't escaped her fate.
After leaving the ward, Su Yue went to the office of Mother Gu's attending physician.
"Doctor, is there any hope for Gu Yanchen's mother?" Su Yue didn't want to give up even a shred of hope. If Mother Gu died, how heartbroken would Gu Yanchen be?
The doctor pushed up his glasses: "Unless a suitable bone marrow transplant is found within a week, there is still a glimmer of hope."
Within a week!
The apocalypse was only two days away; she couldn't be sure.
"Can the Hospital find suitable bone marrow?"
"Yes, I can look into it, but the cost is very high."
The doctor's words gave her hope again. Su Yue felt that anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.
"When can the surgery be performed? Money is not an issue."
"I will ask for you."
The doctor picked up the desk phone and made a call.
Afterward, he told me with a joyful face: "Suitable bone marrow will arrive in three days."
Ugh!
Su Yue had a face full of black lines. It's the apocalypse; what kind of surgery is this!
"Can it be delivered within one day?"
"No!"
"I can pay extra!"
"This is not a matter of money; three days is three days."
Faced with the doctor's refusal, Su Yue did not lose heart and said: "I can donate another building to the Hospital!"
This was all she could do; if he refused again, she would really have no other options.
The doctor pondered for a long time and asked: "Really? Can you really donate a building?"
Su Yue felt there was a chance.
"Yes, as long as you can get suitable bone marrow within one day to perform the surgery for Gu Yanchen's mother, I, Su Yue, will keep my word!"
"Young lady, is this how you make big boasts?" Seeing that she was still a student, the doctor was full of suspicion, feeling that she was playing with him.
Su Yue was afraid he wouldn't believe her, so she made a phone call right in front of him.
"Dad, donate a building to the XXX Hospital!"
"Oh, Dad will have the secretary take care of it in a moment."
Hanging up the phone, the doctor was still in a daze; he had indeed misjudged her.
With a face full of smiles, he said: "Young lady, rest assured, our Hospital is reliable! Just tell them to wait for the good news!"
