Chapter 469: Chapter 463: She’s still...
“Wei Jiani, this is all your fault! If you had done your homework and considered all factors, my son wouldn’t be in this situation. He needs surgery. There’s this skilled doctor who could save his leg, but because of you, not only will he lose his leg but much more than that due to your mistakes.”
She took a step closer to Wei Jiani, who involuntarily stepped back.
“Everything that’s befallen us is because of you! If anything happens to my son...” She raised her hand and pointed at Wei Jiani. “I’ll not only make you pay but your entire family. You can all look forward to being beggars for the rest of your lives.”
Wei Jiani’s face froze, and her lips started quivering. She was too shaken to utter a word.
She couldn’t bear such a consequence.
Nor could Wei Tian and Sang Zhilan.
...
Although Wei Jiani had never experienced Jin’s mother’s ruthlessness, her threat had Wei Jiani genuinely terrified.
When Wei Jiani finally emerged, she found her back drenched with sweat. For the first time, she was scared to the point of wanting to cry and scream.
She trembled as she took out her phone and called Sang Zhilan.
“Mom, this time you have to save me. I don’t want to lose my job, I don’t want to live with my head bowed in shame forever. Mom, if you don’t save me this time, I’ll be done for, and the Wei family will be ruined too.”
Inside the operating room, Tang Yuxin furrowed her eyebrows. She felt uncomfortable, especially the pain on her back. No matter what position she adjusted herself into, the pain was incessant.
Despite appearing asleep, she would wake up to the slightest rustle from outside.
Even the rustling sound of leaves falling in early winter.
Wei Jiani sneered. She had never considered Tang Yuxin as a sister anyway. Did it make a difference whether she was there or not?
“Ms Sang, your daughter has heard it too,” Tang Yuxin placed her hands on her lap, slightly clenching them.
“I can help you save that man.” She didn’t miss the fleeting joy in Wei Jiani’s eyes, and on the other end, she could hear Sang Zhilan’s sigh of relief. Tang Yuxin had heard her relief.
“But...” She lightly flicked the corner of her lips that hardly ever smiled. “Remember your words. Don’t come looking for me, and don’t call yourself my mother, because, you don’t deserve it.”
Sang Zhilan’s finger trembled. It was hard to say what emotions surged in her heart—grief, humiliation, or something else. The words ‘you don’t deserve,’ felt like a hard slap on her face that left her reeling with dizziness, barely able to stand straight.
“You should leave,” Tang Yuxin said, still sitting on the hospital bed. But Wei Jiani made no move.
“Get out!” Tang Yuxin gave her a cold glance, a chill stemming from the icy abhorrence emanating from deep inside.
The words Wei Jiani had on her tongue, ‘Who do you think you are?’, were swallowed back at the last moment. She hadn’t forgotten that she was the one begging Tang Yuxin for help. If Tang Yuxin changed her mind and refused to save Jin Wenhan, what then?
She wouldn’t just lose her hard-earned job, but also her future prospects.
She turned around and reached the door. Instead of closing the door, she swung it wide open.
Tang Yuxin carefully reached for the bag on her bedside table. She took out a bottle of medicine which she had thought about taking prior to the surgery with the soldier. However, she decided against it as she had some reserves to carry on.
But the upcoming surgery—her ticket to cutting all ties with Sang Zhilan—right, she owed her. She owed her blood, her body, and thus, she needed to repay everything.
Yes, repay all of it.
This was a forbidden drug from Li’s family ancient prescriptions—the kind not meant for consumption.
The drug had been used in ancient times to keep a dying person alive for a little longer. To Tang Yuxin, though, this seemed more like a stimulant that mobilizes the body’s energy and blood, enabling one to hold on for a bit longer.
This was intended for those on the verge of death, but she was preparing to ingest it herself.
