That night, Shen Yu finished feeding Lele and coaxed him to sleep. He carefully put the child into the cradle, covered him with a quilt, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When he came out of the shower, he checked on the child before bed as usual and saw that Lele had some problem. His face was purple, his lips were cyanotic, and he looked like he couldn’t breathe.
Shen Yu was frightened and rushed to the hospital with the child in his arms.
Fortunately, a kind taxi driver stopped on the road and took them to the hospital, otherwise Shen Yu really wouldn’t know what to do in the middle of the night.
Shen Yu was at a loss and held the child, crying uncontrollably. Finally, they arrived at the hospital and the child was sent to the emergency room. Shen Yu anxiously and helplessly waited outside the door, closing his eyes and praying over and over again that Lele would be okay.
The doctor came out and said to Shen Yu with a serious face: “The preliminary examination shows that the child has congenital heart disease and mild pneumonia symptoms. He needs surgery and hospitalization as soon as possible.”
Shen Yu didn’t know what congenital heart disease was. He asked the doctor nervously, “Is the baby’s disease serious?”
Doctor: “Of course the heart disease is serious. You should go back as soon as possible to prepare the cost of the operation. The preliminary estimate of the cost is 1 million. You also need to contact the biological father of the child to come and sign the consent form for the operation. Once the heart source arrives, the operation can be performed immediately.”
Shen Yu struggled to digest what the doctor said. He only heard the key words: the baby was sick and would require a lot of money to treat, and the child’s father’s signature was required for the surgery.
But, but Gu Yingyi had already abandoned him and the baby, so why would he come here?
He grabbed the doctor’s hand pleadingly: “I will sign it alone, please save my baby.”
The doctor frowned and said, “You can’t do it alone. The Administration has clear regulations. If the parents are still alive, both parents must sign to consent to the surgery.”
The Administration has an unreasonable and clear regulation that surgery for infants under ten years old must be signed by both parents.
Shen Yu had tears on his face, and he stubbornly and foolishly repeated, “I can sign by myself.”
The doctor was annoyed by him, “Don’t I understand what I said? The biological father of the child must also sign. Otherwise, even if you have money, the child can’t have the surgery!”
The baby was transferred to the intensive care unit. When Shen Yu went to pay the bill, he was told that there was insufficient balance in his card. Shen Yu was stunned and couldn’t believe that the money was used up so quickly. He asked the nurse to check it several times, as there was clearly some money left last time.
The nurse checked two or three times and said, “There really is no more. Go and raise some money.”
Shen Yu sat helplessly on the hospital chair with his bank card in his hand, tears streaming down his face. He wiped them with the back of his hand over and over again, but they were not wiped clean.
His previous cell phone was lost, and he couldn’t remember any of the contacts in it except Gu Yingyi’s number. Jiang Wang took him to buy a new cell phone and a new card.
He remembered that he could exchange glandular fluid for money in the past, so he thought about going for another draw. One draw would earn him 100,000 yuan, so if he did that a few more times, he would have enough money for the baby’s surgery.
Although it was very painful during the extraction, he was not afraid of the pain and was willing to do anything as long as it could save the baby.
He remembered the address of Sister Qing’s shop, but he didn’t remember how to get there. It took him a lot of effort to find Sister Qing’s shop.
Contrary to expectations, Sister Qing’s shop was deserted and sealed off by the administration bureau. They had already secretly moved to a new location.
Shen Yu didn’t know where the new place was. Without Sister Qing to lead the way, he didn’t even know where the small workshop was.
He stood in front of Sister Qing’s shop in a daze, having lost his only hope and not knowing what to do next.
Where would he get so much money?
He was extremely desperate, and Gu Yingyi’s name flashed through his mind.
Shen Yu really had no choice. Even if Gu Yingyi didn’t want to see him anymore, he had to go and beg Gu Yingyi for the sake of the baby.
This is also Gu Yingyi’s child, he will definitely save Lele.
Shen Yu tried to call the only phone number he remembered, but couldn’t get through after several attempts. Finally, the phone was simply turned off.
What Shen Yu didn’t know was that his card was issued in the slums, and the area shown was not within the urban area of City A, so Gu Yingyi hung up the call directly. After all, how could there be someone looking for Gu Yingyi in the slums? He would just treat it as a harassing call.
Since the call was not connected, Shen Yu could only go to Gu Yingyi’s company to find him. The company was where Gu Yingyi spent most of his time, so he would definitely be able to see him there.
Shen Yu was determined to find Gu Yingyi and save Lele. This thought turned into motivation, allowing him to temporarily forget all the tiredness and pain in his body.
After not eating for a day and a night, Shen Yu’s vision suddenly went dark when he stood up. He felt dizzy and leaned against the wall for a long time before he recovered.
After finally hailing a car, he immediately went to Gu Yingyi’s company. It was now past eight o’clock in the evening and it was almost time for Gu Yingyi to get off work. Shen Yu got out of the car and anxiously went into the company.
As soon as he entered, he was stopped by someone. The receptionist was stunned when she saw Shen Yu and almost mistook him for Gu Yingyi’s new wife Shen Chao who was about to get engaged. But then she thought why the new wife was dressed so shabby, and guessed that this was their president’s ex-wife Shen Yu who was already divorced.
The receptionist was new and he had heard all these rumors. Everyone in the company knew that the president’s previous wife was a fool and that the Shen family had gone to great lengths to force Gu Yingyi to marry him. Gu Yingyi hated him even more.
Since he was not the new wife, she lost her respectful attitude and asked, “Who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?”
Shen Yu was anxious. Every minute Lele was delayed would be in greater danger. He had to see Gu Yingyi as soon as possible and ask him to save their child.
”I, I’m looking for Lao…Looking for Gu Yingyi.”
”Our president is not meeting without an appointment.”
Shen Yu begged desperately: “Please, please let me see him.”
At this time, Shen Chao, who happened to come to the company to deliver something to Gu Yingyi, saw this scene. His younger brother had disappeared for more than half a year, and he was really surprised to suddenly see Shen Yu in the company.
Seeing Shen Yu’s shabby and worn clothes, he knew he was not living well. He raised the corner of his mouth as if watching a joke and watched them arguing.
After seeing enough of the excitement, we still have to do some surface work.
Shen Chao walked up to them and said something in a reproachful manner: “What’s wrong with you? Even if he and Ying Yi are divorced, he is still my brother. Don’t be rude.”
The girl at the front desk: “Mr. Shen, I’m sorry…”
Shen Chao: “Okay, go get busy.”
Shen Yu only wanted to see Gu Yingyi. He grabbed Shen Chao’s hand and said, “Brother, I want to see him. Please, I want to see him.”
Shen Chao chuckled, slowly pulled him to sit on the sofa in the hall, and poured him a cup of tea: “Come, have a glass of water.”
Shen Yu shook his head with an anxious expression.
Shen Chao gently put down the tea and said, “Ying Yi is very busy. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly.”
”I, I…I have something very important to tell him.” Shen Yu didn’t know why, but he instinctively didn’t want to tell his brother that he was going to see Gu Yingyi to ask him to save the baby.
Shen Chao did not press him, nor did he answer, and told him meaningfully, “Ying Yi will accompany me to try on wedding dresses after work, so I’m afraid he won’t have time to see you.”
Shen Yu was stunned.
Gu Yingyi is going to marry his brother.
His heart ached slightly. This news only made him sad for a moment. The most important thing now was to ask Gu Yingyi to save the baby. He had no time to be sad. Lele’s illness could not be delayed.
Shen Chao took in his expression and felt so happy. He said, “How about this, I’ll go talk to Ying Yi for you, you just wait here.”
Shen Yu’s eyes lit up. As long as he saw Gu Yingyi, Lele would be saved. He nodded heavily: “Yes! Yu Yu will not leave!”
After turning around, Shen Chao sneered, took the elevator and went to the top floor.
Gu Yingyi just came out of the conference room after a meeting with shareholders. Shen Chao ran over and threw himself into his arms, “Are you off work?”
”Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming?” Gu Yingyi touched Shen Chao’s head lovingly.
”I came here because I missed you.” Shen Chao looked up and smiled at him.
Gu Yingyi said: “The dress has been delivered today. I will go with you to try it on.”
”Um!”
Gu Yingyi was about to take the elevator and go out from the main entrance. Shen Chao held Gu Yingyi’s arm, then suddenly thought of something, and quickly pulled him back and walked towards the elevator at the back door. Gu Yingyi was puzzled.
Shen Chao hurriedly explained: “My car is parked at the back door. Let’s take the elevator at the back door.”
Shen Yu sat on the sofa in the hall, staring at the elevator without blinking.
The elevator door opened and Shen Yu immediately perked up.
The one who came out was someone else, not Gu Yingyi.
Shen Yu withdrew his gaze disappointedly.
Why hasn’t Gu Yingyi come down yet? Didn’t my brother go to inform him?
At the same time, the back door elevator opened, and Shen Chao came out of the elevator holding Gu Yingyi’s arm. Shen Chao looked back at Shen Yu who was still waiting foolishly, with pride in his eyes.
”What are you looking at? You look so happy.” Gu Yingyi was about to turn back, but Shen Chao quickly pulled him away. “Nothing. We’re going to be late for the appointment with the designer. Let’s go quickly.”
Shen Yu had his back to Gu Yingyi. They were only a few meters apart and didn’t notice each other.
As the sky gradually darkened, Shen Yu was extremely anxious and sat on pins and needles in the lobby. Almost all the people in the company had left, but Gu Yingyi still hadn’t come down. The front desk was getting ready to leave, but when they saw Shen Yu hadn’t left yet, they couldn’t help but drive him away: “I’m leaving, everyone in the company has left, you should leave as well.”
Is everyone gone?
”But, Gu Yingyi hasn’t come down yet.”
Receptionist: “Our boss has already left through the back door with Mr. Shen. Please get out. I’m going to lock the door.”
Shen Yu was pushed and chased out of the company. He was stunned for a long time and couldn’t understand why Gu Yingyi left through the back door.
Didn’t his brother help him notify Gu Yingyi? Could it be that Gu Yingyi didn’t want to see him at all?
Shen Yu touched his chest and felt a sore and painful feeling.
He couldn’t give up. No matter how much Gu Yingyi hated him or how much he didn’t want to see him, he had to see Gu Yingyi.
His Lele was still lying in the hospital waiting for him. He couldn’t be so weak, let alone cry.
He is the father, he must save Lele.
Shen Yu went to the underground garage where Gu Yingyi parked his car. He recognized Gu Yingyi’s car and, with the mentality of having to see Gu Yingyi, he stubbornly huddled near Gu Yingyi’s car and waited.
The garage was very cold and he hadn’t had any water for a long time. He was crying out that his body couldn’t bear the burden. His eyelids were heavy and he was too sleepy to bear it any longer so he pinched himself hard, fearing that if he fell asleep, Gu Yingyi’s car would drive away and he would have no chance to see Gu Yingyi.
