A second chance with my billionaire husband
Chapter 1817 - 419: The Road is Long, Never Shall We Meet Again (Part 2)
The hospital has already waived a lot of her fees, and the nurses and doctors at the hospital have also donated some money to her, but this amount is just a drop in the bucket. If she can’t come up with the money, the surgery will have to be postponed, the bone marrow donation will go to someone else, and it’s unknown how long she’ll have to wait for a successful match again; Tongtong’s body can’t wait any longer.
She pinned her hopes on the Angel Foundation, only to find it was nothing but wishful thinking. She felt like it was a bolt from the blue, with all her hopes dashed to pieces.
She’s been holding on for so long, she’s so, so tired...
"Don’t give up hope. Tomorrow night, the Angel Foundation is hosting a charity gala. The top executives of the foundation will all attend. I saw in the headlines just now that Ji’s president will also attend, and she’s the founder of this foundation. There will definitely be many reporters present. These people care a lot about face, so you should sneak in, find an opportunity to approach President Ji, tell her about your situation, and plead for her assistance. It’s best to make a big fuss and let all the reporters know. Then she’s sure to come up with the money. Tongtong’s medical expenses will be taken care of." The nurse suggests.
Tong Jia said hesitantly, "Is this... is this okay? Would it be illegal?"
"No, you’re not threatening them, just asking for help. These folks can’t spend their money in a lifetime. If they gave a little from between their fingers, they could save a life. We have no other choice now, do we? President Ji is a celebrity and a well-known physician. If you plead earnestly, she won’t trouble you."
Seeing this kind-hearted woman hesitate, the nurse urged further, "Think about Tongtong. He can’t wait any longer. Even if it causes a stir, public opinion will be on your side. People always sympathize with the weak. Just play up the pity, and it’ll work."
Thinking of her son, Tong Jia’s indecisive heart suddenly became firm, and she nodded, "I understand. I’ll go tomorrow night."
The nurse slipped a note into her hand, "Here’s the address. You should disguise as a waitress to sneak in. You should recognize Ji Yunya, right?"
Ji Yunya’s name is now known throughout Country Hua. There should be no one who doesn’t recognize her, right?
But who would have thought Tong Jia shook her head, "I don’t know."
She’s been fretting with white hair over caring for her son and raising money for medical expenses, having no mood to be concerned about entertainment or political and business news.
The nurse took out her phone, searched online for Ji Yunya’s photo, and showed it to Tong Jia, "It’s her, remember her, and just find her tomorrow."
Tong Jia looked at the person in her hand, amazed, "This girl is so beautiful. She looks so young, is she already the president of a big company?"
The nurse chuckled, "Don’t be fooled by her young age. Her resume is quite extensive. I could talk about it for three days and nights. Overall, just remember this face, and find her tomorrow."
Tong Jia nodded, her face so otherworldly beautiful, unforgettable at first glance, she would never forget it.
At that moment, Ning Ziqi hurriedly came over, still in his surgical gown, not having had time to take it off, having soaked in the operating room for three days. His dark circles were severe, walking as if he’s floating, his expression exhausted, his whole being absent-minded, with hurried and fast steps.
"Doctor Ning? Why are you in such a hurry?" The nurse called him.
Ning Ziqi turned his head to look at her, the nurse was startled by the red lines in his eyes. "Doctor Ning, you’ve been working for so long, you should rest."
"Has anyone come to the hospital looking for me?" Ning Ziqi asked urgently.
The nurse instinctively shook her head, "No... no one...? "
Ning Ziqi’s chapped lips pressed tightly, "No...something must have happened to her." He said, turning and running out.
"Doctor Ning, don’t you want your phone?" The nurse shouted after him, but Ning Ziqi ran so fast he vanished in a blink.
The hospital has been extraordinarily busy these days. Ning Ziqi had scheduled three days of surgeries. During this time, he didn’t even leave the operating room, turned off his phone, and devoted himself to work. Between each surgery, he would nap for a while, then wake up and continue working. Finally finished, he just got off the operating table to rest for a while, but he had a nightmare about something happening to Xuexue.
He couldn’t sleep anymore and called Xuexue, but no one answered. She hadn’t called him either, leaving only a voice message from three days ago.
——Ning Ziqi, you’re penniless, tasteless, and can’t satisfy me. I’ve long been tired of you. I’ve wanted to say this for a long time. Let’s break up. But I absolutely won’t wish you happiness. The world is vast, and we’ll never meet again.
He doesn’t believe it. This absolutely isn’t Xuexue speaking, someone must be impersonating her. It has to be...
He ran out without even taking off his surgical gown, and colleagues looked at him in amazement, thinking he had received some shock.
Last night you said you wanted to grow old with me. I don’t believe you to be so heartless, these aren’t your true feelings...
He ran home, every corner clean as he left it, the only difference being...all of Xuexue’s belongings are gone. Even the Three Squirrels nuts she loved eating from the fridge disappeared. So clean as if she never existed in his world...
"Xuexue...." He shouted unwillingly and painfully. In the empty room, his echo lingered for a long time.
He thought of Zihuan. Zihuan has significant influence in Jiangzhou, he surely can find Xuexue for him.
Ning Ziqi rushed back to Ning Family Villa.
"Second Young Master... You’re back. I’ll notify...."
Before the butler could finish speaking, Ning Ziqi shoved him aside, charging inside hurriedly, the butler sensed trouble, trotted to catch up.
"Ning Zihuan, come out." Ning Ziqi shouted in the living room.
"Second Young Master... Third Young Master isn’t home." The butler reminded, "If you have anything to say, tell me, and I’ll convey it when Third Young Master returns."
"Then I’ll wait for him to return." Ning Ziqi sat slashing grandly on the sofa.
General sprang downstairs, barking wildly at Ning Ziqi.
"General, don’t be rude." Following playful words, General’s eyes lit up, galloping towards the entrance.
The butler chuckled, "Third Young Master is back."
Ning Ziqi got up from the sofa immediately.
The young man petted General’s springing head, grinning walking inside, "Second brother, rare guest, rushing like this, what’s up?"
"Zihuan, Xuexue’s missing, can you help me find her?" Ning Ziqi rarely spoke so humbly, but for Xuexue, it didn’t matter to him anymore.
The young man lifted his brows slightly, "I’m afraid that’s impossible."
"Why?" Ning Ziqi clenched his fists, "Second brother’s never asked you for anything, just this once...."
"No reason." Ning Zihuan said casually, sitting on the sofa, General jumped onto his lap, seeking attention. "Because I captured that bitch."
Ning Ziqi’s eyes widened in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Ning Zihuan chuckled brightly, "Hearing impaired, Second brother? Then let me say it again, no problem. Bai Xue, in my hands."
"Why?" Ning Ziqi cried angrily, "Why do such a thing? Did you forcibly take Xuexue...Zihuan, never thought you’d be like this."
Ning Zihuan scoffed coldly, mockingly said, "Please, that bitch is your precious. To me, even sewage mud isn’t comparable, even seeing her once felt dirty."
