Silently escaping, the heart remains clear, love is donated, eyes are bright
The sudden action startled the two guests, and the man quickly asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you? Let's get up and talk."
"I have a 3-year-old daughter. I can't afford to support her or give her a good education. I hope you can adopt her!"
After the woman understood, she felt a little excited and said, "We need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle the formal procedures!"
"No problem, I'll cooperate with you!"
These two kind-hearted people were willing to handle the formalities without even asking to see their daughter, which made him feel more at ease.
After completing the formalities, he reluctantly brought his daughter over.
The girl before them was so cute and adorable. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her big, watery eyes were full of spirit. The couple was overjoyed the moment they saw her.
"Xiaoyue, this is your father and mother. Call dad, call mom..."
"Dad, Mom." The little girl called out timidly twice.
"You're so good, come here and let mommy (dad) hug you!"
The woman squatted down and hugged the little girl, "What a beautiful girl, baby, what's your name?"
"My name is Xiaoyue." The girl answered, pulling the necklace around her neck.
"The necklace is so beautiful, you like it, right?"
"Um……"
"There was a lunar eclipse on the day she was born, and the merchant launched this lunar eclipse necklace as part of a promotion. Her mother bought it for her." The young Mr. Qiu explained in a low voice.
The man couldn't snatch his wife away, so he could only ask about the child: "Is her name Xiaoyue?"
"Yes, you will give her a name in the future."
"how?"
"I just hope you can love her as your own daughter. Her mother is dead. In the future, there's no need to tell her about my existence. Just pretend I'm not your father."
"But you are the biological father of the child after all?"
"If I can't bring her happiness, why would she need to know me? Besides, she seems to be frightened and doesn't remember anything about the past, nor does she remember me."
"Frightened?"
"Yes, there was a fire at home..." The young Mr. Qiu pointed to his face.
The man was somewhat moved. "How about this? Leave me your card number. I'll transfer some money to you when I get home. You can use it for your medical treatment."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I won't need it."
"You're welcome, you must accept it."
"I will never accept her. It feels like selling my daughter. And I don't need her. I just hope you can love her and treat her well. If there is an afterlife, I am willing to work like a slave to thank you." After saying that, he ran away with all his strength, not daring to look back at his daughter.
After he had finished his only concern, he should end his pain. He chose a fast-flowing river, hoping that the cool water would finally ease the pain on his face.
When the darkness was broken again, a kind old man came with the light.
"Young man, what's there to worry about?"
"I, I don't know... Where's my daughter?" His mind was blank, the only figure he could see was his daughter...
Later, that lifesaver not only helped him get back on his feet, but also became his father-in-law. After his career took off, he dug up bits and pieces of what happened back then, rebuilt the burned-down house according to his neighbors' descriptions, and would return to stay for a few days every year on his daughter's birthday...
"Thank you, Dr. Liu, for helping me regain my memory. I have been looking for it for so many years, but I still can't remember what happened that year. I don't know where she went or why she left me." Mr. Qiu expressed his sincere gratitude.
"This is what I should do." Liu Che smiled gently, then asked, "Have you forgotten everything but your daughter?"
"Yes, as long as I'm breathing, I won't forget it. That's my heartbeat. But I don't remember anything. I only remember her appearance, her birthday, and her necklace."
"She was only three years old then, so her appearance must have changed a lot over the years. So you're relying on that necklace to find her?"
"Yes, that was the only clue. But after searching for so many years, I discovered that the necklace was, how should I put it, a hit, so I took a lot of detours. I was about to give up, but fate made me meet Xiaoyue..."
"Xiaoyue?" Liu Che was greatly surprised. From the questions and answers during the hypnosis, he had already known that Elder Qiu's daughter was called Xiaoyue. But now that Elder Qiu mentioned it, this ordinary name had a clear meaning.
"Yes, it's that Xiaoyue. She also has that necklace. As soon as I saw her, I could feel the intimacy that came from the blood, and her eyes and eyebrows looked familiar. And I found out that her parents both work in Qiuting and love her very much. Especially after you helped me regain my memory, comparing the two, I can conclude that there is a 70% chance that it is her. She is the daughter I have been looking for for many years." Old Qiu said with relief.
Liu Che lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly asked, "Are you going to find out?"
"No more checking, no more checking. Thank you, Dr. Liu, for letting me find this 70% is more than enough! God has been very kind to me..."
"You're not checking anymore?" Liu Che felt relieved but also surprised.
"I have been looking for her for half my life, but now I am old and can't find her anymore. If she is not my Xiaoyue, I will treat her as her. If she is, I can't disturb her. She is a memory I will never forget until I die, and she is my lifelong concern, but I am not her concern. I can't give her more happiness, so why should I show up? And it's also unfair to her adoptive parents." Mr. Qiu said it emotionally and meaningfully.
"So you've been looking for her for so many years?"
"I went to see her because I was worried that she wasn't doing well. As long as I'm still breathing, I'll protect her." Old Qiu smiled contentedly, "But Xiaoyue is living a happy life now. I'm also happy to see her every day. This is good."
Liu Che added icing on the cake, "In fact, Xiaoyue has always respected you as her father."
"I know, you are all good children. Xiaoyue cares about me very much. She is much more filial than many biological daughters raised by my side. She is just like me. She doesn't like to talk much and just does things silently..." As he spoke, Mr. Qiu had already determined that Xue Jiuyue was his Xiaoyue.
Finally, Elder Qiu asked Liu Che to do something. "Doctor Liu, I have a request. Please agree to it."
"You say."
"Please don't help Xiaoyue regain her childhood memories."
"Okay, I promise you!" Liu Che couldn't refuse.
The words of Qiu Lao were still fresh in his mind. He was determined to let go.
Mr. Qiu - most likely Xue Jiuyue's biological father - is the father who most wants his daughter to be happy. He will not choose me subconsciously. If I insist, it is not love, but selfishness!
But letting go does not mean not loving, "just do it silently..."
Liu Che made up his mind and his heart was clear.
In Dongyuan's Eye Hospital, Mr. Qiu, Mrs. Qiu, Qiu Nian, Qian Jianjun, and Ke Yike gathered in the corridor outside the ward.
Qian Jianjun first explained the situation: "What should we do? Experts say we can't wait indefinitely. The retina must be repaired first, and the cornea will have to wait. As for how long, it's hard to say."
Mr. Qiu asked, "Will there be any adverse effects?"
Qian Jianjun explained in detail: "Normally, the cornea needs to be treated first, followed by retinal repair. It will take about a month for the cornea to fully recover before surgery can be performed to repair the retina. Repairing the retina first now is not a very good option, and the damage to the retina will be irreversible."
"Then Sister Yue will never be able to see?" Ke Yike asked.
"Yes!"
"Use my cornea, I will donate it!" Mr. Qiu made the decision!
Qiu Nian exclaimed, "Dad?"
"It's okay. I'm old enough to have seen all sorts of beautiful things. Seeing you grow up healthy is enough for me! It's okay if I don't see you for a few years. Don't let Xiaoyue's time be wasted like this. Besides, your mother is my eyes. If she can see, then I can see." After saying this, Mr. Qiu looked at Mrs. Qiu again, "Do you support me?"
"It's been a lifetime, this one thing doesn't matter." Mrs. Qiu squeezed Mr. Qiu's hand tightly, but still gave him a smile that made him feel at ease.
"Mr. Qiu, Madam, I admire you both from the bottom of my heart! I really do!" Qian Jianjun looked at Mr. Qiu and Madam Qiu with a burning gaze, but then he said, "It's just that the law prohibits living organ donation. So you can only be powerless. We have to find other ways. I'll contact a few more friends right now, so don't worry too much."
Not long after, they returned to the ward and had no choice but to explain the current situation to Xue Jiuyue.
Xue Jiuyue was relaxed. "It's okay. I can't see. It's good to be quiet. I'll have surgery to repair my retina first. Whether it succeeds or not is up to fate. As for the cornea, it depends on fate. Anyway, I stay in the coffee shop every day. It doesn't matter whether I can see or not."
At this time, a nurse came in to ask for their opinion, "I have a natural cornea. Can you arrange the surgery as soon as possible?"
"There is a cornea?" Mr. Qiu looked at Qian Jianjun in surprise.
Qian Jianjun also looked bewildered. "Didn't you just say no?"
The nurse explained, "Just now, a Mr. Song decided to give up treatment and is willing to donate his cornea to Miss Xue."
"Mr. Song?" Xue Jiuyue was puzzled. "Can you tell me about his specific situation?"
"Sorry, we signed a confidentiality agreement and need to keep the patient's information confidential!"
Could it be Liu Che? Xue Jiuyue asked the nurse again, "Can I refuse?"
The nurse replied, "You can refuse, and the cornea will be used by the patient waiting in line. Mr. Song has already donated it."
"But I used Mr. Song's cornea, what should he do?"
"Mr. Song has given up treatment."
At this time, Qian Jianjun hesitated and said, "Xiaoyue, this kind-hearted Mr. Song should no longer be of any use..."
Xue Jiuyue understood what Qian Jianjun meant, but she still had a hunch. She continued to ask the nurse, "Can corneas removed due to illness and stored in a cornea bank also be donated?"
"Yes!"
"Is this what Mr. Song donated?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Xue, I can't disclose this. Would you like to arrange the surgery?" Seeing Xue Jiuyue still hesitant, the kind nurse continued to persuade her: "I just said that even if you refuse to use this pair of corneas, you still can't go back."
"Please arrange the surgery as soon as possible, thank you." Old Qiu made the decision for Xue Jiuyue.
“Godfather…?”
Mr. Qiu understood Xue Jiuyue's worries. "Good boy, if it was Dr. Liu, I would find a way to cure him. Not everyone rejects artificial corneas... and medicine is making progress. Trust your godfather!"
