Chapter 322: Ruthless
Beichuan.
Zhu Yichen’s condition worsened again, and the hospital issued another notice of critical illness. If there was no suitable kidney donor, this young man would probably not last more than half a year.
Cui Li cried all day.
However, Zhu Dekun was getting more and more impatient. He had a worthless son who was about to die, but he spent money like water. On the other hand, he had another healthy, lively, and cute son. Naturally, his heart was biased. Hence, he didn’t like to go home anymore. In the beginning, he could still answer Cui Li’s calls and go to the hospital to see his son every three to five days. However, later on, he simply didn’t answer her call, let alone visit his son.
In the end, Cui Li gave up looking for him. She just stayed by her son’s side every day. The two children were her lifeblood.
However, at this moment, her other lifeline had run away while she was taking care of her brother in the hospital. By the time she realized it, Zhu Jiaojiao had already run to the operating table in Korea.
When Cui Li called Zhu Dekun again, he hung up again.
After three consecutive times, he finally picked up. “Aren’t you annoying? What’s the matter?”
“Zhu Dekun, where are you?” Cui Li suppressed her anger.
“I have something on.”
“Jiaojiao ran away.” Cui Li’s tone was filled with tears.
“If she ran away, go look for her. What’s the use of looking for me?” Zhu Dekun didn’t even hide his disgust. “Isn’t it all because of you?”
“Hehe.” Cui Li was so angry that she laughed. “You’re blaming me now? Don’t you have any responsibility? Isn’t that your daughter too?”
“Alright, I’ll get someone to look for her. Don’t worry about it.” Zhu Dekun was silent for a moment. He still had some feelings for Zhu Jiaojiao. After all, she was his first child. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
“When are you coming over to see your son?” “When I’m free,” Zhu Dekun said and hung up.
She couldn’t get through again.
Cui Li was so angry that she almost dropped her cell phone. In the end, she tried her best to calm down before returning to the ward.
“Mom.” Zhu Yichen lay weakly on the bed. Looking at Cui Li, who didn’t look good when she came back, he tried his best to smile. “Is there no hope for me?”
“No, Mom will definitely think of a way to keep you alive.” Cui Li sniffed. “You’re so smart. You’ll definitely be fine. So, son, you have to work hard too.”
“Does Father…” Zhu Yichen’s eyes turned red. “Does he hate me?”
“No, he…” Cui Li wanted to defend Zhu Dekun, but she realized that she didn’t know what words to use. After all, her son was 16 years old and very smart. He hadn’t seen his father for half a month. He had probably guessed it long ago.
“Mom.” Zhu Yichen didn’t want to cry, but tears still fell. “If I die, divorce him.”
“Ah Chen, you…”
“Find another good man. You can still have a child.”
“No, I only want you as my son. Really, I…”
Zhu Yichen smiled. ‘Yes, you’re the best mother in the world.”
“Stop talking. Rest for a while first. Mom will ask the doctor. No matter how much it costs, I will definitely find a kidney for you.” Cui Li helped her son lie down. Seeing him close his eyes, she turned around and ran out. The tears she had been holding back finally fell. She cried for a while before stopping. ‘Zhu Dekun, since you’re heartless, don’t blame me for being heartless too.’.
