283 The Chus’ Argumen (2/2)

She smiled, but a roll of cold tears slid down her face.

The life she wanted was very simple. That was all.

Should there be any more suffering, let her be the one to bear them. Her daughter was too young. She only wanted her to grow up healthy into an adult. Rays of sunlight refracted on the window and shone on Xia Ruoxin and her daughter. It brought her a sense of tiny warmth.

Their world was really too cold.

At that moment—in the old Chu manor, Li Manni sat uneasily and wordlessly on the sofa. Chu Lui's parents were present as well. They, too, were silent.

”Ah Lui, are you sure about this?”

Song Wan walked over to her son and put her hand on his shoulder. He might be reaching thirty years old and a married man, but to her, he would always be her child. She did not wish for him to do something this dangerous.

”Yes, Mom. I want to save that child. Besides, the doctor said it's a simple bone marrow withdrawal. It will not cause any harm to my body. You can stop worrying.” Chu Lui's voice sounded extremely mature and calm as he replied.

It was just a small procedure, similar to a blood donation. The promise was made when he registered. Since they had found him, he had no reason to decline. He had decided, and nothing would change his mind.

”Lui.” Li Manni bit gently on her red lips as she reached out to tug Chu Lui's shirt. She did not want him to do it as well. After all, it was harmful to the body.

Chu Lui's expression became somber as he pursed his lips tightly. His father sat at a side. He was the one with the most authority and most suited to voice his opinion.

Chu Jiang stood up, walked towards his wife, and held her. ”I agree with Ah Lui on the matter.” His voice sounded strong and bright. Song Wan tugged at his sleeve. She had wanted him to persuade their son, not instigate him.

Agree? What had he just agreed to? What if something went amiss and their son was harmed? He was their only son.

”A member of the Chu family must be responsible. Besides, it involves a child who is only three years old. That child is innocent. We should help her. We may not know her, but that is a life. If I am a suitable donor for her, I will also do it. Not to mention Ah Lui.”

At the mention of a three-year-old child, Song Wan sighed; and she put her hand down. Her husband was right. The child was only three years old. If her son did not save her, the child would definitely lose her life.

Song Wan was a kind woman by nature. As soon as she heard that it was for a child, she relented.

”Are you sure it is safe?” she asked, still feeling concerned. ”Is it really safe? Are you sure you'll be fine?”

”Mom, you can rest assured that everything will be fine.” Chu Lui's expression was serious as he promised his mother. As a son, he did not wish to worry his mother. However, he was a rational and mature man. On top of that, he was also a responsible man.
