Chapter 802: Chapter 799
They had also helped him.
“A favor as small as a drop of water should be returned with a spring in full spurt,” he didn’t want to owe anyone a debt of gratitude.
“Hurry up and go, don’t delay the best treatment time,”
Cheng Dongyuan said.
After receiving the twenty thousand from him and expressing her thanks time and again, Bai Lu immediately returned upstairs to find them.
In truth, after pondering over the twenty thousand in her hands, she had decided to use it to save a life. After all, it was Dongyuan’s wish to ensure the person went through the surgery safely.
Therefore, she couldn’t keep the money for herself.
When she brought the money upstairs, her face was filled with joy as she announced that they had gathered enough money, and it was from Mr. Cheng, to repay their kindness.
The two men were happy to see the money had been gathered, but they soon felt it wasn’t appropriate. Xu Weiran’s expression grew darker.
He hadn’t expected Dongyuan to directly offer the money for their friend’s surgery.
But this matter had nothing to do with him, they couldn’t accept the money.
Yet the doctors were urging them again, and Bai Lu said, “Aren’t you saying that saving a life is the most important thing right now? No matter what, let’s get the surgery done first, and we’ll discuss the rest later.”
Xu Weiran didn’t say a word, remaining silent throughout. But sometimes, silence can also be a form of acquiescence.
After all, she could think of a way to repay the money later, but saving a life was a matter of timing.
Once the money was gathered, the surgery proceeded swiftly.
During the surgery, Xu Weiran was not seen outside the operating room, and no one knew where she had gone.
…
Cheng Dongyuan was discharged from the hospital, all by himself.
After all, in this unfamiliar small town, he didn’t know anyone except for his parents and friends, and he didn’t have a dear partner,
His arm was in a cast, a bandage hung around his neck, one arm was broken, and with his other hand, he carried a bag of medicine, ready to leave in his simple clothes.
But at the hospital’s entrance, he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing under the tree at the doorway, arms crossed, wearing a hat, and leaning against the tree with her head down.
He was taken aback, not expecting to see her there.
He hadn’t said goodbye in the hospital due to the rush of his discharge, nor had he been able to see them again, but he didn’t expect to still catch a glimpse of her.
After all, the girl was somewhat aloof. As he hesitated whether to greet her or not, she seemed to notice something and slowly lifted her head to look his way.
Their eyes met for a moment.
Seeing this, Cheng Dongyuan nodded slightly as a greeting, and then continued on his way.
However, he had only walked a few steps when he suddenly heard a girl’s voice.
“Wait…!”
The figure of Cheng Dongyuan carrying a bag of medicine paused.
She quickly caught up to him, still slightly out of breath. Standing before Dongyuan, she looked at him, caught her breath, cleared her throat, and said, “Thank you.”
Cheng Dongyuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
She repeated earnestly, “Regardless, thank you for stepping in to help. However, this matter doesn’t concern you, we can’t just take your money. So please, sir, give me a way to contact you, and once I’ve gathered enough money, I will—”
“It’s fine,” he interrupted her, “didn’t your people also save me in the midst of this disaster? We’ll call it even.”
His response made a ripple of emotion appear in the depths of her eyes.
Their people saved him?
Who was he referring to…?
With that thought, she also asked, “Sir, do you know who saved you?”
