Chapter 318 - Honey in trouble (1/2)
”He was desperately looking for a heart to save his child. After losing his daughter to the same disease, he had called that woman for help. He knew his actions would hurt the mother who had lost her son a moment before, but he also knew that was his only chance. He begged. He cried. He prayed to her. He offered his entire wealth. He offered his life....”
”And... the woman said no. NO. She cursed him. She yelled at him. That insolent bastard was asking for her son's heart. She won't. Never. And she hung up on him.”
Silence continued..... None respond. It was only Suyin's voice echoing around....
”Two hours passed, but the man never stopped calling her. Never stopped dropping messages. One such message was his son's photograph. Sick. Hooked to a ventilator. Weak pulse displaying on the monitor.” She had indeed seen Honey's pictures when he was sick, though it was when she came into a relationship.
”They were sharing the same pain that day. She had lost her son, and he was about to. Time was running against him. At the four-hour mark, heart's cells function began to fail and the likelihood that it will malfunction in its recipient rises dramatically. It's the most feared complication.” She ran a hand over Honey's head, ”For me it was a tragedy, but for that father, my one action could become a beautiful light and can give life to someone. A chance for my son's heart to beat again. I did what I feel correct at that time. I changed the ending of someone's story.”
She smiled, ”Least I knew, it will change my life as well and would give my son back to me.”
Honey hugged her. ”Yes. I'm mom's.”
She looked at Wang Shi, ”And least I knew the father begging to me was president's son and the owner of People's group.”
”And what about the hundred million dollars?” someone asked.
”When I met him, I asked him to make a donation to an orphanage. You guys can crosscheck that.” Though later it was transferred to a private account, she was sure Xiu Mei would easily tamper with the data and present it as a piece of evidence.
”LIE---” Wu Sean's voice lost as he was dragged out from the venue, along with his father. Nobody was interested in him anymore.
”But right after you left the country. How did you two--” the reporter stopped, scared of Suyin. ”Miss. Zhao, a question please?”
”We became friends,” Suyin answered, ”Honey was the driving factor.”
Wang Shi's face dropped, his grip on Suyin's hand loosened. The rush of delight he felt a moment ago lost.
Just friends?
Even Honey didn't like the word. He looked between Wang Shi and Suyin. Not liking even a bit how everything was turning. Suyin's actions hurt and confused him.
His eyes watered, feeling horribly vulnerable. He averted his gaze and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, not noticing that Wang Shi noticed his action.
Fine! He will see who among them was more stubborn. Honey gritted his teeth and stood on his knees on the chair, and leaned towards Suyin to reach the mic. ”And, and, soon mom and dad will become couples just like uncle and aunty!” He rose his hand. ”See, see, we are engaged! Dad, show them yours.”
Wang Shi ”...”
