Chapter 12: Life is worse than death
After drinking the blood, Jun Lan's eyes glowed, and her body burned. Soon, she felt something pulling her away, and she fell rapidly into the boundless space. The last thing she heard was, "Don't forget what you said."
It was three days later when Jun Lan opened her eyes again. The first thing she saw was her mother looking at her with red eyes.
Aunt Lin found her daughter woke up and shouted happily: "Junlan, you're awake, you're finally awake!"
Jun Lan was about to speak but found herself too weak to make a sound. Her whole body felt empty as if all the bones were broken. The excruciating pain made her regret having agreed to the idea that Dai Qing had returned to life. It was such a reckless and foolish decision that she had to help her after suffering so much torture.
At this time, Lao Lin also came over to see his daughter. He watched her suffer but was helpless. When he thought of the person lying on the bed so weak that she couldn't speak, she was once his lively and obedient daughter, he couldn't help but burst into tears. What if he could suffer this pain for her?
Seeing her father crying, Jun Lan felt bad and could only turn her head away and pretend not to see it. She only hated her carelessness and recklessness which not only caused her to suffer, but also caused her parents to bear the consequences.
After a while, Fanxi, who received the news, also rushed over. The two elders wisely walked outside to let them talk alone.
Jun Lan expected to be overwhelmed with emotion upon seeing him, at least her heart would surge with emotion. But she was wrong. At that moment, she felt no emotion at all, neither hatred nor love. She simply felt like she was looking at a stranger she knew only too well. After experiencing a life-or-death experience, she no longer had the heart to dwell on romantic matters or jealousies. She finally understood the meaning of the saying, "The greatest thing in the world is life and death; all else is insignificant."
Looking at Jun Lan's dazed eyes, Fan Xi didn't dare to disturb her rest too much and had to leave early.
"I know you don't want to see me now, but you can't be angry with your body. You still have parents! Think about them carefully. Taking good care of your health is the greatest filial piety. I'm leaving first. I'll come to see you when you feel better." After saying that, he touched Jun Lan's hair and kissed her on the forehead.
This move caused Jun Lan to be extremely dissatisfied. She cursed in her heart: "This stinky man doesn't even know how dirty he is. If he had come across me, who is usually so lively and energetic, he would have slapped me in the face a long time ago."
But now she is like a fish on a chopping board, and can only be slaughtered at will.
But she had no idea that the physical pain she felt now was just a small matter, and what was going to happen next was even more upsetting.
After seeing Fanxi come out, Aunt Lin went back in to take care of her daughter.
Only two men were left talking outside the door.
Lao Lin: "Why didn't you stay a little longer with her if you left so soon?"
Fan Xi smiled bitterly: "Next time! She just woke up and needs more time to rest. There is still a lot of time! I have something to do in the company later, I have to rush back to deal with it!"
"Child, it's not that we old people want to interfere with you, but now that my daughter is in this state, I think I have the right to know why she was fine after going out with you that day and then suddenly got into a car accident. Weren't you with her and watching her?"
When asked about embarrassing things, Fan Xi hesitated and didn't know how to respond for a moment. He wanted to confess and get leniency, but he was afraid that they would not even give him a chance to atone for his sins. He could only avoid the important issues and make up a prevarication.
"We had a small argument that day, and Junlan's mood started to become unstable. I went to talk to her, but she left me and ran away. I had no choice but to follow her. Suddenly, she walked out onto the street. I immediately ran over to pull her back, but I was a step too late."
"So it was because of you, you little brat, that my daughter got into a car accident. But then again, what couple has never had a quarrel? If you want to blame someone, blame your daughter for being unlucky and encountering this kind of thing!" Old Lin thought so in his heart at the moment, and his eyes looking at Fan Xi were quite complicated.
At this time, Junlan's attending doctor came to check Junlan's body. Lao Lin grabbed him and said, "Doctor, Lin Junlan is my daughter. Please tell me honestly what's wrong with her body and whether she can fully recover."
The doctor glanced at the medical records, then carefully looked at the patient's family in front of him, and said helplessly: "It's a miracle that Lin Junlan was able to be saved, but the subsequent surgery costs are very expensive. I'm afraid you..."
Vansh: "Don't worry, doctor. I will pay for the surgery. Just arrange the best medical equipment and medicine for her."
"This isn't the most difficult issue right now. The most pressing matter is that Lin Junlan's liver was severely damaged in the car accident, severely impacting her function. She needs to be prepared for a liver transplant immediately. I've already done tests for you, but unfortunately, your liver isn't a match for the patient, and we don't have the resources for it. Therefore, a liver transplant isn't possible for the time being. However, the patient's condition is critical, so I hope you can arrange for another suitable relative to come in for an examination as soon as possible to see if there's a glimmer of hope."
Old Lin was silent. This really made him feel embarrassed and worried. It wasn't because he couldn't bring himself to ask for help, but because there were only three people in his family. They didn't have a deep relationship with their relatives and friends. They only saw each other during the holidays. It was difficult to borrow money. What's more, they were living well and had nothing to worry about. Why would they donate their liver to him? Are they asking for trouble? Where could he find a liver for Jun Lan?
Fanxi: "Doctor, you haven't checked mine yet, please check mine! As long as my liver is suitable, please arrange the surgery immediately. I am willing to donate it to her, don't delay."
Doctor: "Okay, if you're willing. I'll arrange for a nurse to draw your blood for a test. I'll go into the ward first to check on the patient."
Fan Xi turned around to comfort Lao Lin: "Uncle, don't worry. I will definitely bring Jun Lan back to you intact. During this period, in addition to taking good care of Jun Lan, you must also take care of yourself. Don't let Jun Lan recover and you collapse."
What else could Old Lin say except nodding silently? He was the head of the family! Seeing his daughter lying in bed suffering, he could do nothing but sigh. He really wanted to slap himself in the face and yell, "What a loser!"
A few days later, Fanxi received a call from the hospital: "Mr. Zhang Fanxi? I'm from the city's First Hospital. The test results are out, and your liver is not suitable for Lin Junlan."
Although he knew that the chances of a suitable match being between non-blood relatives were slim, Fanxi was still very depressed at the moment.
Fan Xi was stunned for two minutes, and then the person on the other end of the phone urged: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, are you still listening? Mr. Zhang, are you okay?"
Fanxi came back to his senses and said only: "I'm fine, thank you." Then he hung up the phone immediately.
He could foresee that Old Lin would have the same disappointed expression as him after hearing the news. He couldn't tell what was hidden under his gloomy eyes. He began to turn his attention to another hospital. For Lin Junlan, he decided to go all out.
