Lu Chengzhou let out a soft chuckle. So, youre sure? You would choose not to save him, even if theres a chance he could survive?
Yes, Mrs. Rong Sr. nodded resolutely. Can we go in to see him now?
At this moment, Mrs. Rong Sr.s thoughts were occupied. I must get my hands on the a.s.sets. As for Feiyu, she was still young and could marry into a good familythere was no need to risk her future by donating blood. My son? If he couldnt be saved, then so be it.
Mrs. Rong Sr. thought she was making a grand sacrifice for the good of the Rong family. What she didnt realize was that inside the emergency room, Rong Tians.h.i.+ had heard every word shed spoken. He had heard his mother and his most beloved daughter decide to forsake him. Disappointment clouded his eyes as the corners of his mouth twisted into a weak, mocking smile.
At that moment, Rong Tians.h.i.+ found himself reflecting on his life and deeming it a failure. The woman he had loved the most had left him for another man. His respected mother had personally voiced her willingness to let him die. His darling little daughter also had no inclination to save him. Even his current wife, whom he had treated with nothing but kindness, had birthed another mans child.
A bitter laugh escaped Rong Tians.h.i.+. As he lay on the operating table, staring at the sterile ceiling, tears welled in his eyes. He felt as though something was missing, and then it came to him. His eldest daughterthe one he had abandoned in the countryside, the one he couldnt bring himself to look at when she returned.
What is she doing now?
Did she know that Im dying?
Would she come to save me?
Rong Tians.h.i.+ chuckled ruefully, his heart sinking further. After all, he and Rong Qi had never gotten along. There had always been a wall between them, built with cold words and defiance. Suddenly, he found himself longing to hear her voice, just one more time.
Struggling on the operating table, Rong Tians.h.i.+ gestured feebly at his phone beside him. He yearned for the nurse to understand his silent plea. But she didnt. The phone screen was still lit up with a call from Lu Chengzhou.
The nurse said, Dr. Lu instructed us to let you see peoples true colors in your moment of crisis. To show you who youve been coddling all these years people with ulterior motives.
Through the phone, Rong Tians.h.i.+ heard his mother crying, apparently on another callobviously with w.a.n.g Qing. w.a.n.g Qing was the only person his mother would consult when troubled. His mothers conversations with w.a.n.g Qing were filled with notions of forsaking him, of needing his pa.s.swords, of wanting to see him one last time.
At that moment, Rong Tians.h.i.+ lost all hope and dropped his hand. He had lost. After struggling his entire life, climbing up the corporate ladder, he had been defeated by those closest to him. He had to admit that Lu Chengzhous move was vicious. Making him die with so much regret.
Is this all a revenge plot for Rong Qi? Rong Tians.h.i.+ thought.
With a resigned chuckle, Rong Tians.h.i.+ closed his eyes in despair and defeat. However, just as he had accepted his fate, he suddenly heard a cold, clear voice coming from his phone.
Use my blood. Im also type A.
Its Rong Qi! Its her voice!
In an instant, Rong Tian s.h.i.+s eyes flew open.
Outside the door, Lu Chengzhou, who had been leaning casually against the doorframe, suddenly became unsettled. He switched off his phone and looked at her disapprovingly. He said, No, it wont work. Your blood types are incompatible..
