Gu Chen took out his phone and clicked on a photo. This photo had been taken a few years ago and transferred into his new phone a few times. The pixels were no longer exquisite compared to the current screen, but he could still clearly see the girl happily eating a piece of cake.
She had forgotten, but he remembered clearly, that their first meeting four years ago, when she had first gone to Spain to study and lost her purse and all her papers, she had stopped him in the street and said, ”Sir, it is our fate to meet here, but I am very hungry now. Can you buy me a cake to pay for our meeting?”
At that time, she was still very young, innocent, and had the cunning and naivety of a girl. He would never forget the pair of eyes that hid stars on that wronged face.
Later, he went to her school to give a speech. As the school's representative of a foreign student program, which was being shown for the purpose of investing in the East, she appeared on stage.
Later, he tried to find her. She had returned home, and he didn't insist.
After so many years, to see him again, he thought he would not let this opportunity slip away again.
Zhao did his best to send Jane to the hospital, saying he would wait for orders before leaving.
Although Jane kept thanking him, she could only helplessly watch as he waited for her.
His mother had already woken up and was in good shape. After the mother and daughter spoke for a while, her mother worriedly asked, ”Little Chu, Doctor Qiao said to help me arrange the operation as soon as possible, but where did the money come from?”
Jane's eyes flashed and in the next second, she laughed naturally, ”Mom, I'm a homecoming after all. The company gave me great treatment.”
”Kid, you've only been working for two months, no matter how good your income is, you still can't come up with that much money.” Jane's mother did not believe Jane's words. She knew her child and kept everything to herself. ”Mother is old. If you do this for mother …” Mom really doesn't want to live. ”
”Alright mom, this money, this money is borrowed from Li Dong.” Jane had no choice. She could not tell her mother that she had sold herself out.
”He's a good boy. He doesn't look at you the way everyone else does.”
Jane was trying her best to smile and hug her mother as she started acting like a spoiled child. Her mother's eyes seemed to drip with tears. It was her fault, but she let her daughter suffer for her. It was her fault that her daughter didn't blame her at all.
Jane first dressed her mother, then went to ask Dr. Qiao about her mother's condition. As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Dr. Qiao walking towards her.
”Dr. Joe.”
”Miss Jane.”
The two of them spoke at the same time and laughed.
”Just call me Jane Chu.” Jane looked at him earnestly. She was grateful that the doctor had given so much thought to her mother and had been willing to lend her money the last time.
”Then you can call me by my name, Qiao Yining.”
Jane followed him to get her mother's report. Joining was a gentle doctor, and his words calmed her.
”Jane Chu, it's almost noon. Let's go eat together.”
”Huh?”
”You're just a little girl, taking care of your mother isn't easy. There are some details regarding your heart disease. I think I can help you to have some clues. Pay attention.”
