Chapter 703 - How Hard-Hearted (1/2)

Song Wan stayed with Chu Xiang in the hospital every day. This reminded Chu Lui of how he had barely done anything as a father when Rainy was sick back then.

The thought of the past tormented him.

“How’s Chu Xiang?” Xia Ruoxin asked. The man had been returning rather late recently. It was probably because of Chu Xiang, and she was a little envious of that.

Compared to her Rainy, Chu Xiang was much more fortunate.

“Still waiting for a kidney.” Chu Lui reached over and carried the small child in his arms.

Thank god, it’s not you, Rainy. Else, what would Daddy do?

It was clear that Chu Lui was not doing too well. Xia Ruoxin would not say anything to stress him out now. As for Chu Xiang, she could not help much; but she hoped that the child would find a suitable donor as soon as possible. Medicine was really advanced now, and there was a high chance of recovery.

Everyone was trying to keep their spirits up, except for Song Wan who was worried sick. Every time Chu Xiang cried, she would have palpitations from her panicking. However, they never found a donor.

Song Wan could not keep waiting. The doctor’s words were like a looming death sentence every day. He said that Chu Xiang would die if they did not find a suitable donor soon.

She had to do something herself.

A child’s would be the best.

At this point, she was conflicted. She had thought of something, but in truth, it was illegal. She could not bear to do it. She could not make a decision, but Chu Xiang could not afford to wait.

She gritted her teeth and came to a decision.

“Director, do you think this will work?”

In the orphanage, Song Wan had been discussing the matter with the director for a while. They were familiar with each other. Even though the director was not exactly sure of why Song Wan was there, she was not dumb.

“Madam Chu, can you tell me if the reason you want to adopt another child is Chu Xiang?”

Song Wan froze. In her desperation, she was not sure of how to answer.

“Madam Chu, there is still hope for Chu Xiang. Please don’t give up on her,” the director said after pondering for a while. It was not her place to say it, but all life was equal before God.

Song Wan knew that the director had gotten the wrong idea, but she did not explain.

She felt like her life had been sucked out of her when she left the director’s office. She was lethargic.

The sunlight from outside shone on her face, and the wrinkles on her face seem to have increased dramatically over the past few days. As the light shone in her face, her eyes seemed to ache a little.

She was about to leave, but she heard the voices of two children. They were probably around Chu Xiang’s age.

“Sister, what do you want the most?”
