Lin Zhenyang gently pushed the door open. The past few days, because Fang Yan was unable to endure the chemotherapy, she had been taking medications to control her body. However, the drugs had been making her drowsy and sleepy.
Lin Zhenyang gently raised his hand and touched her face. It was because of this face that he was willing to give up everything to be with her. It was this face that made him so entranced that it was unbearable. But he always remembered the sweetness of it in his mind. He thought he would hate that woman, hate her snobbery and hate the fact that she didn’t even say goodbye. But the longer that he thought about it, the more he found that he can’t hate her even if she did that.
When his mother called him to tell him that Fang Yan is his daughter, he hadn’t recovered from his shock when she bombarded him with the news that Fang Yan is sick with a terrible illness. At that time, he was very afraid and didn’t even asked about the ins and outs of the matter. After that, he took the fastest flight from the U.S. to Beijing.
Looking at the pale, paper-like face, two lines of tears fell from his face. His face is distorted in pain, “I’m sorry…..I’m sorry….” He blamed himself, blamed himself for failing to help her and giving her hope.
Zheng Weiqian doesn’t know how long he has been sitting there. Along the way, Fang Minghao and Fang Rui continued to pester him to go somewhere and eat but he continued to sit there. He repeated asked himself: What should he do? How can he make Fang Yan survive? He repeatedly asked himself that but couldn’t get an answer.
“Click, clack….click, clack….” It is the sound of a woman’s heels. This sound resonated through the quiet hospital. The sound finally stopped in front of Zheng Weiqian. It is a pair of red high heels. The heels are high and thin, creating a sharp sound when it came in contact with the ground. Zheng Weiqian never looked up. The woman took a step and sat beside him but Zheng Weiqian is still immersed in his emotions.
"Zheng Weiqian, are you going to sit here forever?" The voice is tender and sweet, but the tone is cold and accusing.
Zheng Weiqian looked up and saw who the other person is. Lin Xuanxuan was staring straight at him with anger in her eyes. She was so angry that he made her like this.
He faintly glanced at her then continued to look down at the floor.
Lin Xuanxuan was even angrier seeing him like this. She strongly suppressed her emotions, adjust her breathing and continued, “You’re not going to ask me why I’m here?”
Zheng Weiqian continued to look down at the floor. He had no desire to answer her question. Right now, the only thing that he is most concerned about is Fang Yan’s illness. It doesn’t matter what she is doing here right now.
Lin Xuanxuan didn’t care for Zheng Weiqian’s silence. She turned her head and said, “Did you forget? She can be considered my sister. Although we are born from different mothers, she is still the blood of the Lin family so we can be close relatives.”
Her words succeeded in attracting Zheng Weiqian’s attention. He looked at her, “What did you say?”
Lin Xuanxuan looked at him and said, “I just did the examination. The doctor said that my bone marrow matched hers by 75 percent which means I can save her.
Zheng Weiqian’s eyes widened, afraid that he heard wrong. He whispered, “Is what you’re saying true?”
Lin Xuanxuan nodded.
“Haha….haha……” Zheng Weiqian loudly laughed. He leaned over to embrace Lin Xuanxuan as he excitedly say, “Yanyan can be saved. Yanyan can be saved. Thank you Xuanxuan, thank you.”
Lin Xuanxuan who is being hugged by him wasn’t as happy and revealed a bitter smile. Lin Xuanxuan slowly raised her hand to his back. This time, he was the one who took the initiative to hug her but it is because he is grateful that she has given him hope for another woman. How ridiculous. She once thought of countless reasons to embrace him and the reason now is because she can save the woman he loves. She really is a failure.
Zheng Weiqian let go of her. He held her shoulders and seriously said, “Xuanxuan, thank you. Thank you so much.” His tone is very sincere. She can feel his gratitude. She hates this feeling. She doesn’t want his gratitude, let alone his gratitude to her because of someone else.
“What are you thanking me?” Lin Xuanxuan raised an eyebrow and removed his hands from her shoulders. Her tone was doubtful and her lips revealed a disdainful smile.
At this moment, Zheng Weiqian was silent in the midst of his joy. He didn’t notice the change in her and said, “Thank you for saving Fang Yan. You are her hope.”
“When did I say I will help her. From beginning to end, I did not say I will donate my bone marrow for her.” Lin Xuanxuan coldly turned away from him.
“But you...she is you sister, is she not?” Zheng Weiqian forcefully grabbed her shoulders and made her look at him.
“Why should I help her? Her mother destroyed my family twenty years ago. Twenty years later, she stole the man I love. I hate her, why should I help her?”
“She is still your sister. How could you look at her….” Zheng Weiqian couldn’t continue on. He glared at the woman in front of him, his fingers digging into the flesh of her shoulder.
“Sister?” Lin Xuanxuan sneered, “My grandmother had long known that she is Lin family’s illegitimate daughter, but she didn’t even acknowledge her. Where did I get a sister from?”
“You….” Zheng Weiqian’s eyes revealed an angry glint, “You’re too cold-blooded.”
Lin Xuanxuan looked at him and didn’t say anything, as if confirming his statement.
Zheng Weiqian loosened his grip on her and painfully close his eyes, “You’re too disappointing.” He got up and turned to leave.
Just as he is walking away, Lin Xuanxuan sounded behind him, “Marry me and I will save her.”
Zheng Weiqian turned and looked at her He doesn’t know what to say.
“Marry me and I will save her.” Lin Xuanxuan reiterated.
“Why….” Zheng Weiqian coldly asked.
“Only if you marry me will I save her.” Lin Xuanxuan repeated.
Zheng Weiqian silently stared at her, “Fine, I’ll marry you.” If this is the only way for Fang Yan to live, then he is willing to comply.
