Chapter 986: It's Just Too Hard to Endure

Ye Wanting was slightly stunned, her distracted gaze with multiple overlapping layers.

Slowly, she lifted her head, the corridor lights piercing into her eyes, emitting a dark yellow fringe like ash.

Then her eyes gradually cleared, until she saw the person in front of her.

“Doctor Xu?”

Xu Shu was wearing blue sterile clothes, buttons not fastened yet, with his cap and gloves on.

He pulled down his mask and looked at her, “Why are you here?”

“I…”

Xu Shu glanced at the operating room, “Who’s inside?”

“My—” Ye Wanting choked on her words, “My brother.”

Her eyes were red, and with a blink, tears threatened to come forth.

Xu Shu couldn’t wipe her tears away.

“I’ll handle the surgery, don’t worry about anything else.

Sit here and wait for me.”

Ye Wanting wanted to stand up, but where Xu Shu stood, her legs couldn’t stretch straight, and she didn’t have the strength, so she sat back down.

After several seconds, she trembled out a voice from her throat, “Thank you, Doctor Xu.”

Xu Shu furrowed his brow slightly, said nothing, and put his mask on.

He entered the operating room, and the nurse disinfected him, helping him put on the sterile clothes.

As Ye Wanting looked up before the operating room door closed, she saw Xu Shu turned sideways asking about the condition of the injured.

Her hands slowly clenched, placed on her lap, there was still blood on her clothes, blood on her hands, the piece of clothing she gripped was full of dried blood clots.

The surgery might have lasted a long time, she didn’t know how long it would take.

Occasionally, nurses came and went, passing by her without stopping, hurriedly leaving and returning.

Only she seemed to be in slow motion, in her world, even time had slowed down.

It was simply unbearable.

She didn’t want to wait any longer, stood up, stayed put for a moment, then walked out like a lost soul, ignoring the elevator, walking down step by step to the first floor to pay.

Inside the window, the nurse calculated, threw her some papers, and casually said, “Make an initial payment of five hundred thousand.”

Ye Wanting shuddered intensely, gathering the bank card into her palm, “So much?”

“This is just the preliminary treatment cost, there’s more to follow.”

The nurse glanced at her, “Try to find a way yourself.

The surgery is already happening, the hospital won’t pressure you to pay, but you still have to pay what’s necessary.

I’ll report your situation upwards to give you more time.”

Ye Wanting found it hard to utter even a “thank you.”

Her heart seemed clogged with a filthy, foul, and swollen sponge.

She did say “thank you,” but it was hurried.

After speaking, she quickly walked away, driven by a burst of energy to the outside of the building.

She scrolled through all the contacts in her phone, stopping for a couple of seconds at Nan Jiaojiao and others’ numbers, gritted her teeth, and dialed her uncle’s number.

Just after explaining the situation, her aunt’s sharp voice came through the phone, “What for?

You money-losing thing coming to ask for money?

Where do we have money?

We live in an old district, not a villa, not even fifty thousand, I don’t have five thousand!”

Her uncle quietly comforted, while her aunt’s arrogance became more rampant, her words could be heard clearly despite the distance, “Look at your sister, she doesn’t care about you when things are good, but blames you for all the bad things in this life.

I could have been a rich lady if not for your sister marrying a beast, squandering all the family money.

I’ve never had a good day with you.

It’s good enough that I can take them in for two nights, but don’t put everything on you!”

Ye Wanting bit her teeth hard, she had lost all pride.

Long lost.
