Chapter 722 - Luckily, it’s You (1/2)

Chu Lui squinted and hid his powerful gaze.

“I’ll bail you out.”

Ding Yang’s finger stopped. “Why would you bail me out?” He did not understand the reason for this man helping him.

“Thank you for doing that surgery.” Chu Lui looked down, and he took out something from his pocket. It was a girl’s hair clip—a pretty butterfly.

Ding Yang did not understand. “I don’t get it.”

“The girl you removed the kidney from was my daughter.” Chu Lui kept the hair clip in his pocket. “Even the specialists that I hired from overseas said that the surgery you did for her was very successful. Other than removing the kidney, you did not hurt her one bit.”

The hand holding the cigarette shivered. Ding Yang took another puff. “Don’t you hate me? Don’t you want to kill me?” He mocked himself. “I heard of your personality before, and I don’t think you’ll let me off so easily. After all, I did cut your daughter’s blood vessels and remove the kidney with my own two hands. I still remember the feeling of holding the kidney in my hands; it was warm. It was still alive when I took it out.”

Chu Lui extinguished the smoke in his and took another one. One could see slightly that his hand holding the cigarette was trembling.

“So, Mr. Chu, have you decided to release me?” Ding Yang smiled bitterly. On his thin face, one could not see any hint of the past. He was no longer a doctor; he was a criminal.

Chu Lui puffed another smoke out, and it followed down his throat and numbed his lungs. Then, the smoke went out from his nose. It was a cycle, a type of numbing cycle.

“If it wasn’t you, it’ll be someone else; but I’m thankful that it’s you.”

He raised his lips, but there was not a hint of a smile in them and in his eyes. “It was a transaction. If it were other doctors, I’m afraid they would just care about removing the kidney and treat the child like a dead person, but you didn’t. Even though you took away my daughter’s kidney, you did save her indirectly. She’s too young; she can’t take any mistake if her vessels burst or an infection got on her wound.”

Ding Yang sucked a few clouds of smoke into his mouth, and he himself just woke up from the numbness. “Actually…”—he smiled—”I wanted to adopt this kid at the beginning. The madam said that the child was an orphan who didn’t have parents so I agreed. However, I liked the kid the moment I saw her. Did you know? She called me ‘Uncle’ and smiled at me. I have never seen such a pretty child before. I was still thinking who would be so cruel to abandon this girl so I decided that I had to bring her up after I removed her kidney, so that she could still live like a normal person even without one.

“Just that, I didn’t expect them to mess up.”

Even Chu Lui could not believe until now that ‘they messed up’; they had let his Rainy lose a kidney and caused her to suffer for so long.

When Ding Yang walked out, the light outside almost scorched his eyes so he used his hands to block his eyes. He thought he would not see the daylight for the rest of his life, but now, he knew that there was still such a day for him. However, the kidney that he removed was the worst thing he had done in his life; he no longer had the capabilities to be a doctor anymore.
