My College Teacher is My Children's Mom
Chapter 927: A Friend in Dire Straits!
At the same time.
In Modu People’s Hospital.
In the intensive care unit, Lin Feng’s high school friend, Li Tian, was attentively taking care of the patient in bed.
And lying on the hospital bed was a girl with a pale face and somewhat frail figure.
The whiteness of the girl’s face was the sickly pallor of someone who hadn’t seen the sun for a long time, and her tightly closed eyes, with occasionally furrowed brows,
Li Tian’s face was covered with immature stubble, looking weary, his eyes bloodshot...
After a bout of busyness, Li Tian sat by the bedside, holding the girl’s hand on the bed, his face full of a complex expression of guilt and tenderness...
"Mo’er, I’m sorry, I won’t let anything happen to you..."
When Li Tian was in his third year of middle school, his family moved to Longmen City due to his parents’ job transfer, and the Su Mo’er lying in the hospital bed was someone he met in Longmen City.
Originally, with his parents’ job promotions, everything was developing towards a good side, but all this goodness was shattered two years ago when Li Tian was a first-year high school student.
Two years ago, one day, Li Tian came home from school as usual.
As he stepped into his home, he saw the scene where his dad was handcuffed with cold irons and taken away.
And his mom was sobbing softly beside...
Li Tian felt like the whole world had collapsed in an instant...
He couldn’t believe that the scene before him was real...
Li Tian’s father, Li Jingxiong, was implicated in a bribery case, taken to prison, and sentenced to life imprisonment. His mother also fell ill from excessive grief, and not long after, she passed away.
Now, in this world, he only had Mo’er left.
He clenched his fists, determined to gather half a million for Mo’er’s surgery, no matter what.
He absolutely couldn’t let Mo’er leave him like this!
Just then, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a nurse dressed woman walked in.
Li Tian looked back at the nurse, forcing a smile on his face.
"Good morning, Nurse Liu, thank you!"
Nurse Liu looked at Li Tian and Su Mo’er on the bed, a hint of sympathy on her face. She knew about their situation, but she was just a small nurse, powerless to help.
She looked at Li Tian and spoke softly.
"Mr. Li, Miss Su Mo’er’s condition can’t be delayed any longer. She needs surgery as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Li Tian’s body suddenly paused, and his fists clenched even tighter!
Li Tian also knew that Su Mo’er’s condition couldn’t wait any longer, but the steep surgery fee of half a million was exhausting him!
He had been working so hard, taking three part-time jobs during the day and handing out flyers for people at malls after work.
The last time Lin Feng saw him at the mall, he was handing out flyers.
But despite all his efforts, the meager salary was barely enough to cover the daily hospitalization expenses.
He had exhausted all possible means, but heaven was unkind.
He even thought about going to a shady medical institution to sell his organs...
Yet he found no leads, otherwise he would’ve done it already.
At this moment, Su Mo’er on the hospital bed slowly opened her eyes, looking at Li Tian, a slight smile appearing on her pale face.
"Good morning, Brother Tian~"
Su Mo’er spoke softly, her voice filled with weakness.
Li Tian looked at Su Mo’er with affection, smiling and gently stroking her pale little face.
Afterwards, Nurse Liu began checking Su Mo’er’s body condition data.
Li Tian walked out to the door of the ward.
Through the glass window of the ward door, Li Tian gazed at Su Mo’er’s frail body, tormented by illness, and felt a pang in his heart!
His fists clenched so tightly that veins bulged, yet he was unaware.
Then he made a decision in his heart; even if it cost him his dignity, he would find a way to borrow half a million for Su Mo’er’s surgery!
He took one last look at Su Mo’er in the ward, then turned and resolutely walked away.
He went outside the hospital, pulling out his phone, he dialed one number after another, each time asking to borrow money, only to be told that everyone was strapped for cash and couldn’t help.
Li Tian gripped the phone, his face showing an expression of despair.
He had called all the numbers he should have, borrowed from everyone he knew.
Except for Lin Feng and a few others who lent him some money, the rest found excuses to decline.
Even those uncles who were once close to him before his dad’s incident gave various reasons to refuse him.
He had borrowed from everyone he knew in this city.
He was utterly helpless!
He had thought of every possible way and was deeply despaired!
He raised his head powerlessly, gazing at the sky.
Why?!
Why did fate treat him like this?!
Why, when things were already tough, did it have to add insult to injury?!
Why, despite all his efforts, could he not gather the half a million?!
He was utterly in despair...
Tears fell from the corner of his eyes.
Men don’t cry easily; that’s because they’ve never been truly desperate!
He frantically punched a small tree beside him!
Until blood slowly dripped from his fists...
He came to his senses, realizing he couldn’t be like this, couldn’t abandon himself to despair!
If even he gave up, then there truly would be no hope for Su Mo’er!
He took out his phone, planning to make one last desperate attempt. If it didn’t work, he would find a way to sell his organs...
He quickly dialed a number.
