Chapter 47: A Hug

But even so, this still belonged to Zhai Jing. Seeing that he had already entered the hospital, Le Wan had no choice but to chase after him with the trophy.

Because Zhai Jing was more than 1.8 meters tall and had a thin waist and long legs, one step of his was equivalent to two steps for her. By the time she rushed into the hospital lobby, Zhai Jing was nowhere to be found. Even when she tried to call, she could not get through. Le Wan then vaguely remembered the nurse’s phone call to him and guessed that he must have gone to the inpatient department, so she went towards that part of the building.

The elevator arrived with a *ding*. As soon as Le Wan walked in and pressed the button to close the door, a hand with thick joints suddenly stopped the door from closing. A middle-aged man walked in.

Le Wan’s gaze inadvertently swept across the other party and was startled by the gloomy expression on his face. She immediately lowered her eyes and involuntarily moved to the side.

“Young lady, please help me press the button for the sixth floor,” a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the elevator, making Le Wan feel goosebumps all over her arms. She was stunned for a moment before she managed to reply, “Okay.” She then pressed the number 6.

*Ding* They had arrived at the inpatient ward of the cardiology department on the sixth floor. When the door opened, the middle-aged man rushed out.

Le Wan, who was near the elevator door, noticed something wrapped around his chest when he passed by.

As she only had a quick glance and didn’t take a close look at him, Le Wan did not actually pay much attention to it. Coincidentally, she had also arrived at the Department of Renal Medicine on the ninth floor. She took the trophy and hurried out. She then found Zhai Jing outside of the ward. He was currently talking to the attending doctor.

Right there in the corridor, the attending doctor was flipping through medical records. “The situation is getting worse and worse. Drug treatment is no longer meaningful for the patient, so we must try to get the surgery done as soon as possible.”

The wrinkles on his face were so deep that they could crush a fly to death. He was obviously very troubled by the current situation. “But the problem now is that there is no suitable kidney.”

The teenager leaned against the wall with his head down and didn’t say anything. He had done a matching check a long time ago, but unfortunately, he wasn’t a match.

The doctor sighed, “Does the patient have any other relatives?”

Zhai Jing shook his head.

“I saw that you’ve already registered for a kidney donor five years ago, but you’ve waited for so long already. You should have probably realized that the chances are slim, so I suggest you mentally prepare yourself.”

The doctor wasn’t explicit, but Zhai Jing knew what he meant.

The attending doctor sighed yet again before he patted the youngsters shoulders, “In the meantime, we’ll do our best.”

Zhai Jing nodded his head slightly.

Looking at the young man’s depressed look, Le Wan held the trophy and did not know whether she should walk over or not. However, he had already noticed her and his gaze fell on the trophy in her hand. He squeezed out an ugly smile and said, “Thank you for bringing it here.”

Le Wan had to pretend that nothing had happened. “It’s your fault for being so forgetful. Last time, it was a bracelet, and this time, it’s a trophy. I rather not waste my time giving you one more gift.”

Le Wan handed the trophy back to Zhai Jing, who stretched out his hand but did not take a hold of it. Instead, he grabbed her hand and pressed his dry but warm palm against her wrist.

Before Le Wan could react to what he was going to do, the hand holding her tightened, and she leaned forward and hit a warm wall.

The white skirt around her ankle swayed in the air like a wave, and the golden trophy fell to the ground with a clatter, which shocked Le Wan so much that she felt as if her heart had skipped a beat.

The slender young girl was perfectly embedded into the boy’s arms.

“Zhai Jing, you’re suffocating me,” Le Wan’s heart was pounding as she finally managed to find her voice as she was struggling to push him away.

Zhai Jing lowered his head and buried it in her shoulders. He could not tell if it was the fragrance of shampoo on her hair or from perfume, but all he knew was there was a faint sweet scent that reached his nose. “I’m sorry, but can we stay like this for a while?”

A low and hoarse voice with a hint of pleading sounded in her ears. Le Wan was like a skittish rabbit that had just been drenched in water. Though the hair on her body stood on their ends, she still immediately submitted to his request. Her hands hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still gently wrapped her arms around the young man’s waist.

“Alright, go back and look after Auntie. You don’t have to send me off.”

The comforting hug didn’t last long. The rare weakness that Zhai Jing revealed was quickly retracted. Since she had already delivered the trophy to him for her unconscious mother, it wasn’t appropriate for Le Wan to stay here any longer, so she bade her goodbyes.

After what had happened just now, the distance between the two of them seemed to have shortened by a lot. Zhai Jing then said something soft, which was very rare, “When you reach home, send me a message.”

Le Wan nodded as she touched her still burning ears. She then left the ward in a hurry.
