Chapter 520: His Girl
He had made this promise without a second thought. He pursed his pale lips and looked at her, his eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with sincerity.
The girl nodded her head and her large, bright and inquisitive eyes blinked at him.
“Sure, big brother. Let’s play together in the future.”
“Yes, we will.”
Then, the boy held the girl’s hand and led her toward the operating theatre at the end of the corridor.
They were sent into different operating theatres.
The doctor had used a black cloth to cover the boy’s eyes as though he was afraid that this b.l.o.o.d.y scene might be traumatic for a child like him, but the boy removed the black cloth and watched the doctor cut open his side with their cold surgical tools and took out an organ that was covered with blood. This was his kidney that had stopped functioning. Not long later, he watched the doctor transplant a functioning kidney into his body.
He clenched his jaw tightly.
Before he lost consciousness, his mother’s words were all he heard. His mother had been sobbing by his bedside and said, “Ye Ye, I’ve finally managed to find an organ donor for you. The organ donor is a healthy girl and has agreed to donate her left kidney to you. Ye Ye, you must survive, do you understand?”
“Tang Tang…”
Su Ye’s eyes suddenly opened as he muttered her name hoa.r.s.ely.
He rubbed at his temples, as though this memory had pained him. He wiped at his forehead and saw that he had broken out in sweat.
He had never seen the young girl again after he regained consciousness. His mother said that the young girl had been transferred to another hospital but when he checked with that hospital after he was discharged, the hospital said that they had discharged the young girl.
He then went to the orphanage in search of her but found out that she had gone missing.
Su Ye’s brows were tightly knitted and his head hurt so badly that it felt like it was about to split open. He clenched his jaw tightly and his eyes were deeply sunken.
He subconsciously touched the spot along his waist and pursed his lips. He looked out of the window into the dark night and stared out of the window for a long while before he finally heaved a long sigh.
“I’m sorry!” He muttered to the skies and his voice was full of guilt and pain.
He felt remorseful because he had lied to her. He had not fulfilled his promises to her and did not look after her. In fact, he couldn’t even find her. His heart ached for her because she had only been a pitiful young girl who wasn’t even aware that she would be donating a kidney to him. She had been tricked to come to the hospital and it wasn’t until later that he realized that his mother had given the director of the orphanage 300,000 dollars and this director had sold the girl’s kidney for money. The young girl was an orphan, so she didn’t have parents nor a guardian and this was how she ended up donating her kidney without having a basic understanding of what her actions meant. The director had also deliberately made the girl go missing in order to cover up this incident.
Tang Tang, you must hate us if you’re still alive.
Su Ye’s eyes were full of pain as he looked out of the window into the pitch black sky.
This was something that had troubled him for many years. Twenty-two years had pa.s.sed and he didn’t know if she was still alive after Chen Mei abandoned her or if she had been sold somewhere else and if someone else was using her as a tool to earn a quick buck.
