Chapter 10 This is not our destiny 1
With Lin Tong's help, my father's corneal transplant surgery was very successful. So, half a month later, I am about to board a plane to New York with Lin Tong.
"What's going on? It's not like you'll never come back, so why should I feel a little sad for seeing you off at the airport?" Guan Qiao lay on my shoulder and acted coquettishly as if she had no bones.
"Pfft, pfft, good luck!" I pinched her waist in annoyance , "What do you mean I'll never come back?"
Guan Qiao stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"Sister, take good care of yourself." Xiao Nuo reluctantly held my hand. After he finished explaining, he turned his gaze to Lin Tong, "Brother Lin Tong , you can't bully my sister, otherwise when I grow up, I won't let you go."
"Don't worry, not only will I not bully your sister, I will also willingly let your sister bully me." Lin Tong patted his chest and promised.
It was almost time to board the plane, but I looked left and right and couldn't see the guy who should be there. I leaned over and whispered to Xiao Nuo: "Where is your brother? Why can't I get through to him on the phone?"
"I don't know either." Xiao Nuo curled his lips.
"It's time to board the plane." Lin Tong looked at his watch and reminded me.
"You should take care of yourselves too." After saying goodbye to Xiao Nuo and Guan Qiao, I walked towards the boarding gate with Lin Tong reluctantly.
"Don't look at him. Zeng Chen probably overslept." Lin Tong said helplessly, probably because he saw me looking back every few steps.
Maybe……
Zeng Chen still hadn't shown up when we entered the gate. I admit that I couldn't help but feel disappointed.
After boarding the plane, Lin Tong met a friend on the plane and had a great time chatting with him in someone else's seat. I had no choice but to sit in my seat and wait for takeoff, looking around boredly.
Two seats away from me, there was a boy reading a newspaper. He always gave me a familiar feeling.
The moment the boy closed the newspaper, I was stunned.
"Why are you here?" I was surprised and happy to see Zeng Chen's familiar face.
Of course, there are far more joys than surprises.
"I'll go with you to take care of Lin Tong." Zeng Chen answered easily.
"But...it must be tiring to take care of patients."
"Compared to myself, I am more afraid of seeing you suffer." Zeng Chen looked at me with eyes full of heartache, "So I came."
"You...you..." Lin Tong jumped up excitedly after coming back and seeing Zeng Chen, "You follower!"
"Hey, it's lonely to have surgery alone." Zeng Chen looked at him helplessly, "I volunteered to accompany you, shouldn't you be grateful?"
"Bah, you just don't want Yuan Wan and I to have a chance to be alone." Lin Tong rolled his eyes.
"I'm glad to know." Zeng Chen looked at me with a smile on his face.
Ever since I saw Zeng Chen, there is only room for him in my eyes.
The 12-hour flight spanned eight time zones.
But with the person I love by my side, distance and time difference are not problems.
After a period of hospitalization and recuperation, Lin Tong will finally be sent to the operating room today.
During Lin Tong's hospitalization, I had nothing to do. In order not to tire me out, Zeng Chen took care of all the trivial matters by himself and took good care of Lin Tong. Seeing Zeng Chen who had lost a lot of weight, I felt very distressed.
"Lin Tong, don't be afraid, we will always be with you." We followed the doctor and pushed Lin Tong into the operating room.
"I'm scared." Lin Tong looked at me and smiled, "Our Yuan Wan is so pretty, I'm afraid I'll never see you as pretty as you again."
"Stupid, after the operation is successful, I will make you sick of me." I held his hand.
"Okay." Lin Tong took my hand away from the back of his hand and handed it to Zeng Chen, and said, "Zeng Chen, take good care of Yuan Wan for me."
"Yes." Zeng Chen nodded gently, "The operation went smoothly."
Lin Tong and us were separated by a wall, and the operating light was on.
Zeng Chen and I sat outside the operating room. I leaned on his shoulder, our fingers tightly clasped together in the depressing atmosphere.
The second hand ticked away, and even though only an hour had passed, it felt like several centuries had passed.
Finally, the doctor came out of the operating room and Lin Tong was sent back to the ward.
"The operation went smoothly and was successful." The accompanying translator told us happily. Hearing this good news, I was so excited that I hugged Zeng Chen.
"Very good!"
"You go back to the ward and look after Lin Tong first. I'm going to the bathroom." After giving brief instructions, Zeng Chen and I separated.
When I came out of the bathroom and passed by an open office, I saw Lin Tong's surgeon mumbling something to another doctor. Although their pronunciation was awkward, I still heard the two words "Lin Tong" clearly.
The translator happened to be passing by, so I quickly pulled him over and asked, "Teacher, can you translate the doctor's conversation for me?"
"They said..." The teacher's expression suddenly became serious, "Although Lin Tong successfully replaced his cornea this time, there is still an 80% chance that he will go blind in the future because he has missed the best time for surgery."
80% probability of blindness, missed the best time for surgery... These keywords were like buckets of cold water pouring over me from head to toe.
I suddenly became dazed, held on to the wall, and finally fell into a chair.
Yes, if Lin Tong had not given his cornea to his father, he would have completed the operation more than half a month ago.
I have harmed him. He was only 20 years old. If he has to live in darkness for the rest of his life, how desperate and sad he would be!
Yuanwan, he ended up in this situation just to help you. His kindness to you cannot be repaid by just saying "thank you" to him or accompanying him for an operation!
In fact, I know that Lin Tong has always had feelings for me, but I just chose to ignore it before.
So now is the time for me to face the truth, right? If Lin Tong is really blind, the best way for me to repay and compensate him is to stay by his side forever.
As for Zeng Chen... maybe not having the chance to respond to his confession last time was God's best arrangement.
