Chapter 49 Family Melodrama
Fan Boren's face, which was originally beaming with a smug smile, froze instantly.
His expression turned somewhat grim.
At this moment, he is enjoying the most triumphant and glorious moment of his life.
My heart and eyes are filled with the prospect of a life of wealth and luxury that is about to begin.
But the host said something like that at that moment.
It was like pouring a bucket of cold water over someone's head.
It was a clear message to him not to get too cocky, because bad luck was about to strike.
[Haha, the host is right! I just can't stand this guy who flaunts his wealth so much now that he's suddenly rich. Look at how shallow he is!]
[Don't ignore my advice, Lai Cai! It turns out the streamer is a fortune teller, just offering a friendly reminder.]
Fan Boren forced a dry smile.
Although he was displeased, he dared not offend Lu Yao easily.
After all, I owe my success today entirely to that miraculous divination I received back then.
"Of course I know the streamer's abilities. I owe everything I have today to the streamer, so why wouldn't I believe him? Please, streamer, go all the way and tell me what kind of trouble it will be."
His tone was ingratiating, tinged with a hint of unease.
Lu Yao remained calm. "You'll find out soon enough without me having to tell you."
Everything was under her control.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Fan Boren's phone rang.
The loud DJ ringtones were particularly jarring.
Fan Boren was startled by the sudden ringing of the bell.
He glanced at Lu Yao subconsciously, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.
He then frantically pulled out his phone.
The caller ID showed his biological mother, Zhang Siyu.
Fan Boren's tense nerves immediately relaxed a little.
What important business could his own mother possibly have with him?
Judging from the recent period, they have been either transferring money to him or showing concern for his well-being.
He thought he had figured out his mother's tricks, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face.
She pressed the answer button and said in a light and affectionate tone, "Hello, Mom—"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Siyu's anxious voice cut him off: "Bo Ren, something's happened to your father! Come to Ren'ai Hospital right away!"
Fan Boren's heart tightened, and he asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Dad?"
His brows were furrowed.
He appeared worried, but inwardly he was thinking:
She had only just returned to this home when the old man caused such a commotion. Could he be seen as a jinx?
At this moment, Fan Boren's admiration for [Qianniangangtongwang] deepened even further.
This anchor is truly accurate in his predictions.
Disasters can strike suddenly, giving people no chance to catch their breath.
But his mind quickly shifted to another direction.
I wonder what kind of impact my father's illness will have on me?
Fan Boren hurriedly hung up the phone, switched the camera back to the live broadcast studio, forced a grateful smile, and said to Lu Yao:
"The anchor was right again this time. Something happened at home, and I have to go check on it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he tried to hang up the connection hastily, leaving the viewers in the live stream to gasp in amazement.
[Wow, words really do come true! I only spoke for a few seconds, and Lai Cai received a call.]
That's just how it is; you can just blindly believe what streamers say.
[Don't hang up, Lai Cai! Let us see what happened. The streamer is so capable, maybe he can help you.]
Fan Boren hesitated for a moment, then felt that what the netizens said made sense, so he did not close the connection.
The netizens were satisfied and watched the live stream with Lu Yao.
Watching Fan Boren rush towards Ren'ai Hospital with his phone in hand the whole way.
Upon arriving at the hospital, he burst into the ward like a whirlwind.
Fan Pingwei, the father whom he had just reunited with a week ago, lay lifeless on the hospital bed, his face ashen.
Although I haven't spent much time with this father, and our relationship isn't very deep.
But this is a great opportunity to make a good impression on your family.
So he pretended to be heartbroken, rushed to the bedside, grabbed Fan Pingwei's hand tightly, and began to cry loudly.
[Holy crap, the live stream suddenly turned into a family drama!]
【No, Lai Cai, your acting is way too exaggerated! It makes the male lead in the idol drama I was just watching look like an award-winning actor】
A family member being sick is not something to joke about; let's all take this seriously.
Upon closer inspection, Fan Boren's eyes didn't actually have many tears; he was just dry-wailing, which sounded particularly exaggerated.
Zhang Siyu quickly stepped forward and supported Fan Boren, her face filled with sorrow. "Boren, you just got home, and I didn't dare tell you because I was afraid you'd worry. Your father's health has always been poor; he has a chronic high blood pressure..."
Lai Cai is having a tough time. His father fell ill right after they reunited and he returned home. He hasn't even had a chance to enjoy family life yet.
[Sigh, it's a bit heartbreaking. Please stop mocking Laicai in the comments; he's genuinely sad.]
The ward was noisy, but Fan Pingwei kept his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.
"How could this happen? I just got back and this happened to Dad. I'm willing to pay any price to make Dad healthy and safe—"
Fan Boren cried and shouted while stealing glances at the reactions of those around him.
As soon as he spoke, Zhang Siyu's eyes suddenly lit up.
From an angle that is not easily noticed, Fan Pingwei, who appeared to be unconscious, also had his fingers twitch slightly with excitement.
Viewers in the live stream sighed over this family tragedy, but Lu Yao slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
...
One day ago.
Renai Hospital, inside a bright doctor's office.
The doctor, dressed in a white coat, smiled and handed the documents in his hands to the middle-aged couple in front of him.
"Congratulations, you have finally found a suitable match."
A middle-aged couple sat opposite the doctor.
Both of them were startled by what the doctor said.
The joy on her husband Fan Pingwei's face was almost overflowing.
He eagerly reached out and took the documents, his hands trembling as he excitedly flipped through them quickly.
When his gaze fell on the conclusion on the last page, his tense nerves finally relaxed, and he let out a heavy breath.
Even the wrinkles on her face seemed to have smoothed out.
—The donor [Fan Boren] and the recipient [Fan Pingwei] were successfully matched for kidney transplantation, and the donor kidney is immunologically feasible for transplantation!
These words were like a ray of dawn in the darkness.
Fan Pingwei smiled with relief; the heavy weight that had been pressing on his heart for so long was finally lifted.
Long-term high blood pressure was like a demon, relentlessly tormenting his body and severely damaging his kidney function.
Glomerular sclerosis and renal tubular atrophy.
Behind these medical terms lies Fan Pingwei's unbearable daily suffering.
"If this continues, it may develop into kidney failure."
Six months ago, the doctor's stern and cold warning struck like a bolt from the blue, shattering Fan Pingwei's last shred of hope.
