“Grandma… will Gao Ming… will he come and take revenge on me? Can he still be saved this time round? What should I do if he dies?” Zhang Yao hid under the blanket with tears streaming down her face. She was like a frightened little rabbit, making one’s heart ache for her.
“Don’t worry. This matter has nothing to do with you. He brought it upon himself. What has it got to do with you?” Liang Jin sat by the bed and comforted the girl.
“But I’m his fiancée. If word gets out that I like someone else, how can I still get married in the future!” Zhang Yao said agitatedly.
“You’re from the Zhang family, the famous Zhang family in Sky City. Who would dare to say anything about you?” Liang Jin said arrogantly.
“But…”
Before Zhang Yao could finish speaking, Liang Jin looked at her sternly and said, “There are no buts. Don’t think about anything. These issues have nothing to do with you. Don’t you want to meet that kid? I’ll bring you to see him tomorrow.”
“Really? Grandma, you’re allowing me to meet Mike?” Zhang Yao sat up and asked Liang Jin excitedly.
“Of course,” Liang Jin said dotingly.
When the Gao family and the Zhang family first came to Sky City, they got along well and lived near each other. Their grandchildren also grew up together. Liang Jin spent a lot of effort to get the Gao family to agree to Gao Ming and Zhang Yao getting engaged. From then on, she and Zhang Cheng started eyeing Gao Tao’s jewelry.
If it proved difficult to eradicate the Gao family members, when Zhang Yao grew up and married into the Gao family, the jewelry would still fall into their hands. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yao did not like Gao Ming at all. She fell in love with a bum who played in a band. Gao Ming had persuaded Zhang Yao many times to turn back, but Zhang Yao was determined to be with that bum.
Liang Jin had long known about what was going on, but she had always indulged Zhang Yao. It was still their decision on who Zhang Yao would marry in the end. Moreover, at that time, the Gao family was no longer doing so well. If Zhang Yao would feel aggrieved to marry into the Gao family, then she might as well be with someone else.
Gao Ming had no choice but to tell Zhang Cheng and Liang Jin about this matter and ask them to help him. He had loved Zhang Yao deeply since he was young and did not want to see her with anyone else.
Unexpectedly, Gao Ming found out about the real scheme which Zhang Cheng and Liang Jin were plotting. The next day, Gao Ming was poisoned and sent to the hospital. It was announced that Gao Ming had committed suicide by drinking poison because of his relationship issues. Zhang Yao was so frightened by this news that she did not even dare to step out of the house.
Gao Lin knew very well that his grandson would not commit suicide and that there must be something fishy going on. However, Gao Ming was still unconscious and there was no way to investigate this matter. He could only wait for Gao Ming to wake up.
In the hospital, the doctors were all busy with their patients. Gao Ming had to sleep in a hospital bed in the corridor because he was owing medical fees. The doctor had already issued an ultimatum yesterday. If the family could not settle the medical fees, Gao Ming would not be able to stay in the hospital anymore.
“What a pitiful guy. He’s so handsome, but he actually committed suicide by taking poison,” a nurse looked at Gao Ming and said regretfully.
“That’s so true! Their family has not come in to make payment for almost a week. The balance in his account is only enough for the glucose drip. If they can’t afford the special medicine, he might not be able to live past the next two weeks,” another nurse said.
“Look at his grandfather’s full head of white hair. He looks so pitiful. I remember that the old man’s children have also passed away,” the first nurse said.
“Really? How did they die?” another nurse asked.
“l think it was a car accident. The two people stopped breathing before they reached the hospital. It’s so sad for one to have to bury one’s own children,” the nurse said.
“Sigh… I wonder what’s going on with their family…” another nurse said with a
Gao Lin rushed into the hospital with the money bag. He grabbed the nurse’s hand and shouted, “l have money! 1 have money! Save my grandson! Give him the special medicine to detoxify the poison!”
“Alright, alright, alright. Come and get the paperwork done first,” the nurse said quickly.
The poison in Gao Ming’s body was very strange. Even the doctors could not explain what was going on. The poison could not be completely removed in one go. He had to get three injections of special medicine every week, at the cost of 30,000 dollars per injection.
The 250,000 dollars which he had was only enough for eight injections to keep Gao Ming alive for three weeks.
As long as Gao Ming could stay alive, Gao Lin was even willing to sell his kidneys, his blood or even use his life in exchange for Gao Mings life. He had tried to do all these, but he was really too old. No one in the black market wanted his organs or blood..
