Shen Mianyin was in a car accident.
Before losing consciousness, when the car door was opened, she clearly heard the driver say, "Miss Su, it's all done."
The emergency center's red light stayed on all night, and at dawn, Shen Mianyin was out of the operating room. However, there was no one by her bedside.
Shen Mianyin kept wondering if that "Miss Su" was Su Yiqing.
By evening, Gu Luo'an still hadn’t shown up.
Shen Mianyin stared at her unresponsive legs and called him. "Gu Luo'an, I was in a car accident..."
On the other end of the line, Su Yiqing’s voice rang out. "Ah! Luo'an, I’m so scared!"
Gu Luo'an quickly hung up.
"Miss, your family still hasn’t arrived?" The head nurse walked in and asked.
"Family? I don’t have any family left." Shen Mianyin laughed blankly, but as she laughed, she started to cry. "My fiancé is busy accompanying another woman."
The head nurse hesitated. "This..."
It wasn’t until the following evening that Gu Luo'an finally rushed over.
Gu Luo'an explained that Su Yiqing was startled when she heard about the accident.
After confirming Shen Mianyin was fine, he went to comfort Su Yiqing first. Once Su Yiqing finally fell asleep, he came over immediately.
Shen Mianyin threw off the blanket, revealing her unresponsive legs, and let out a loud, mocking laugh. "Su Yiqing? Yesterday, I waited in the hospital room all day, while you were busy comforting the person who hit me!"
"Enough," Gu Luo'an snapped. "You've injured your leg, and now you're talking nonsense."
Gu Luoan turned to leave.
She chased after him, but her legs were numb, and she fell to the floor with a thud.
Gu Luoan heard the sound, turned around, and picked her up, bringing her back to the bed. He comforted her, saying, "It's okay, the doctor said it's only temporary. As long as you keep up with the rehabilitation, you'll get better."
After that, Gu Luoan came to see her every night, stayed with her during rehabilitation, and encouraged her to live well.
As long as Su Yiqing was not mentioned, he would treat her very well.
Until one day, she saw Su's father and Su's mother at the hospital, people who had never appeared before.
They must be here to see her!
Shen Mianyin excitedly turned her wheelchair towards them, but then she heard the doctor telling them, "The kidney match between Shen Mianyin and Su Yiqing was successful."
"Can Shen Mianyin donate her kidney now?" Su's mother asked eagerly. "I heard her health has improved quite a lot."
"And over the past two years, we've had her quit her job and focus on a healthy lifestyle, no alcohol, and she never smoked. Her kidneys are very healthy," Su's father added.
Shen Mianyin felt like she had fallen into an ice pit.
So, two years ago, when Su Yiqing returned, it wasn’t because they couldn’t bear to let her go.
They had kept her around to nourish her kidneys, so they could give them to Su Yiqing.
"If possible, perform the surgery immediately. There's no need to get Shen Mianyin's consent. We are her guardians, and we can sign on her behalf," they said.
Shen Mianyin, unable to believe what she was hearing, turned her wheelchair around and appeared in front of them. "Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?"
"You heard it all, didn't you?" Su's mother said calmly, without a hint of guilt. "Since that's the case, be a little more cooperative and donate your kidney to Yiqing."
Su's father added, "You're just a fake who's taken Yiqing's place. You've had her things for over twenty years. Now, it's time to return them!"
"We've raised you for over twenty years. Without us, you'd be suffering with your biological parents. You wouldn't have this kind of life!" Su's mother continued. "You owe us, and you owe Yiqing. It's time to repay your debts!"
"So, Su Yiqing sent someone to hit me for my kidney?" Shen Mianyin looked at them, her voice shaking. "Do you even know?"
"Stop talking nonsense! It's just one kidney we need from you, and yet you slander Yiqing! We really wasted all these years raising you!" Su's mother raised her hand to slap Shen Mianyin, but was suddenly stopped by a hand.
Gu Luoan stepped in front of Shen Mianyin and said to Su's mother, "Mianyin hasn't fully recovered yet. Please, talk to her calmly."
Su's father said, "Shen Mianyin, we've treated you well, and Yiqing has never held a grudge against you. She's such a good child—how can you bear to watch her die? It's just one kidney; you won’t die from it."
If she were healthy, donating a kidney might not kill her.
But now, she was disabled!
She hadn’t even fully recovered, and she would die from it!
At the very least... they should wait until she fully recovers!
Gu Luoan pushed Shen Mianyin back to the hospital room.
Shen Mianyin held onto Gu Luoan’s hand. "Luoan, let me recover first, okay? Once my health is better, I will give my kidney to Su Yiqing. If I give it to her now, I’ll die."
"Okay."
At night, she dreamed that Su Yiqing, along with Su's father and mother, were coming to take her kidney.
Shen Mianyin screamed and woke up.
Gu Luoan held her close, comforting her, telling her it was just a dream and that everything was okay.
Leaning against Gu Luoan's embrace, Shen Mianyin felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
Thankfully, thankfully, Gu Luoan is still here.
She was too scared by the nightmare to fall back asleep.
Gu Luoan gently persuaded her to take a sleeping pill. In her dazed state, she heard him say, "It's okay, just get some rest, and it'll be fine."
While she slept, she was wheeled into the operating room.
Her kidney was transplanted to Su Yiqing.
When she came out of the operating room, she vaguely heard Gu Luoan telling Su Yiqing, "Yiqing, don't worry, you'll be fine."
"This kidney has been prepared for you for two years."
Hehehe!
It was all a lie, everything was a lie.
Even Gu Luoan's love was a lie.
All the care and patience he had shown her in these days were just to calm her down.
To make her let her guard down, find the right moment to trick her into taking the sleeping pill, and then take her kidney for Su Yiqing!
She was pushed back into the hospital room, but there was no one there, not even Gu Luoan.
Gu Luoan had gone to see Su Yiqing.
"Brother Luoan, the doctor said my transplant surgery was a success," Su Yiqing said, holding onto Gu Luoan's hand. "I thought you were with Shen Jie."
"Of course, I had to come see you first. After you fall asleep, I'll go check on her."
"Can I sleep a little later? I want you to stay with me a bit longer." Su Yiqing said pitifully.
"Okay."
Gu Luoan stayed with her until very late. It seemed like Su Yiqing had some kind of sixth sense—every time he tried to leave, she would wake up and grab his hand.
In order to help her rest properly, Gu Luoan stayed by her side the entire time.
Only when Su Yiqing was completely asleep did Gu Luoan carefully remove his hand from hers and make his way to Shen Mianyin’s room.
But as soon as he entered, he saw the doctors performing CPR on Shen Mianyin.
As the heart monitor emitted a long, piercing beep, the doctor stopped and declared, "Time of death: 11:03 PM."
"Impossible!" Gu Luoan suddenly rushed forward, pulling Shen Mianyin up. "Shen Mianyin, wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"
The doctors and nurses immediately tried to pull him away.
Gu Luoan watched helplessly as Shen Mianyin was pushed out of the room.
His eyes were bloodshot, his face contorted in rage as he grabbed the doctor's shoulder. "Save her! Save her! Didn't you say that donating one kidney wouldn't kill her?!"
•••
Shen Mianyin was startled awake by the sounds of crying around her. She opened her eyes to find herself sitting on the sofa in the Su family's living room.
In front of her, Su's mother is holding Su Yiqing, both of them crying uncontrollably, embracing each other.
This scene... it is so familiar!
Shen Mianyin instinctively open the phone she is holding.
The date display is two years ago!
