Chapter 13 A Heart’s Chance
Wen Ci and I stopped contacting each other.
It was like a tacit understanding.
He did not ask why.
Until one night he called.
He said his brother's life might end in the next few days.
I could not find words of comfort.
My own heart hurt more.
I had seen life and death often.
I never imagined I could not bear seeing someone close pass away.
Wen Ci's crying on the phone suddenly quieted.
With a hoarse voice he said.
"Jiang Zhong, I... I will let my brother try."
If he had not truly given up he would not have said that.
When the match results came out I thanked him with red eyes.
It still did not feel enough.
I almost knelt.
"Don't... don't do that!"
Wen Ci held me back.
He wiped his tears and forced an ugly smile.
"Xiao Yun said his heart could save someone. He is very happy."
Facing life and death people struggled like mayflies against a tree.
Powerless.
I had lost my earlier confidence.
The closer the surgery the more nervous I became.
Han Zheng became the one comforting me.
He smiled and held my hand.
He said he had a feeling he would pull through this time.
"Jiang Zhong, do you believe it?"
I rubbed his head and forced a smile.
"I believe it."
