Chapter 244 Willing to trade my life for her safety
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhengchu put down his wine glass, leaned back on the sofa, and stared coldly at Lin Quan. "Didn't you already get an injection yesterday? I thought the virus had been eliminated."
Lin Quan shook his head, opening the medicine box as he explained, "Although the virus has been suppressed, it hasn't been completely eliminated. You need another injection to make sure everything is alright."
Hearing this, the third brother looked up at Tan Zhengchu, his tone tinged with annoyance, "I don't care about your affairs, but Lin Quan, when are you going to get A Qian better? Her health has been getting worse lately, and she doesn't even want to have a check-up."
Lin Quan paused, his expression turning serious.
He took out a vial of medicine and began preparing the injection, his voice low and somber, "A-Qian's condition... is rather complicated. The new drugs won't work for her, so I suggest you find a suitable heart as soon as possible. That's the only way right now."
The third brother's face instantly turned even uglier. He gripped the bottle tightly, his knuckles turning white. "A suitable heart? Her heart type is rare, a one in millions chance. Where am I supposed to find one?"
It turns out that Asahi has a history of heart disease, which is why the parents of the third son don't approve of them being together.
As he said this, his voice choked up, and he lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "If it really doesn't work out... I'm willing to give her my heart."
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhengchu frowned and interrupted him coldly, "Third brother, don't think nonsense. What will you do if you give your heart to her? Keep your heart safe and don't do anything foolish."
Lin Quan nodded, his tone firm, "Third brother, we'll figure something out together. Don't act impulsively."
The third brother sneered, his eyes filled with despair. "Find a way? I've waited all these years, where's the miracle? A-Qian's health is getting worse every day, I... I really can't hold on much longer."
Lin Quan was silent for a moment, then picked up the wine glass on the table, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to the third brother.
The third brother took the wine glass, and the two clinked glasses. Lin Quan drank it all in one gulp, then put down the glass with a serious expression.
"Third brother, there's something I must remind you of," Lin Quan's voice was low and solemn. "A Qian's illness is a genetic disease, extremely rare in the medical field. Her condition... is not optimistic. You need to be mentally prepared."
The third brother's hand trembled violently, and he nearly dropped his wine glass. He looked up at Lin Quan, his eyes filled with disbelief. "What do you mean by that?"
Lin Quan sighed, his tone tinged with pity, "This is also why your parents have always found it hard to accept A Qian. They know her illness... the hope of a cure is slim."
The third brother's face turned pale instantly. He stood up abruptly, his voice trembling, "No, it can't be! A-Qian will be alright! I... I will never let anything happen to her!"
Lin Quan looked at him, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes, "Third brother, I know your feelings for A Qian. But as your brother, I can't bear to see you risk your life for her..."
The third brother's body trembled slightly, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms. He murmured softly, "If she's really gone, what's the point of my life?"
Tan Zhengchu stood up, patted the third brother's shoulder, and said firmly, "Third brother, don't overthink it. We'll find a way. A-Qian wouldn't want to see you like this either."
The third brother didn't speak, only kept his head down, his shoulders trembling slightly. The atmosphere in the lounge was so heavy it was suffocating.
Lin Quan looked at the third brother, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He said softly, "Third brother, no matter what the outcome, you must be strong. A-Qian needs you, and we need you too."
The third brother remained silent, but his clenched fist gradually loosened. He raised his head, a resolute glint in his eyes, "I will find a way. No matter what, I will not give up on A-Qian."
Tan Zhengchu and Lin Quan exchanged a glance, but neither spoke. They knew that their third brother's resolve was unshakeable, and the road ahead... could only be walked by him alone.
Tan Zhengchu sat on the sofa, his gaze fixed on the third brother, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
He understood the third brother's feelings; he was all too familiar with that feeling of being willing to risk his life for someone's safety. He himself had made a similar decision for Su Yingxue.
Therefore, he did not try to dissuade the third brother, because he knew that no one had the right to judge other people's choices.
"Third brother," Tan Zhengchu said in a low voice, his tone calm but with a hint of heaviness, "I understand how you feel. But you must remember, whatever decision you make, you must think carefully about the consequences."
The third brother didn't respond; he simply lowered his head, poured himself a glass of wine, and gulped it down. His brow was furrowed, and his eyes were filled with pain and self-reproach.
“Ah Qian has been very naughty lately.” The third brother’s voice was hoarse, with a hint of helplessness and exhaustion. “She always avoids me. I don’t dare to sleep too soundly at night, afraid that she will… afraid that she will leave quietly.”
As he said this, his hand gripping the wine glass trembled slightly. "I love her, but I hate myself even more. I promised to protect her, but now... I can't do anything about it."
Tan Zhengchu looked at him silently, without interrupting. He knew that what the third brother needed at that moment was not comfort, but someone to listen.
Just then, the door to the lounge was pushed open.
Grandma Tan walked in carrying her handbag. Her gaze swept over the three of them, and her brows furrowed slightly. "Why are you all hiding here drinking? It's so lively outside, why don't you go join in?"
Tan Zhengchu raised his head and said in a calm tone, "Grandma, it's quiet here, we'd like to stay for a while."
Grandma Tan glanced at him, then at the third son and Lin Quan, seemingly sensing the heavy atmosphere.
She didn't say anything more, just nodded, "Then drink less, don't let it interfere with your business."
After saying that, she turned and left the lounge, walking into the lobby and looking around, muttering to herself, "Where did Liu Bao and Da Bao go? I haven't seen them at all."
She walked around the hall but still couldn't find Liu Bao, so she decided to go see if Qi Bao was there.
She opened the door and walked towards Qibao.
At this moment, Qibao was with Erbao and Sanbao. The three little ones hugged each other and danced like adults.
Erbao and Sanbao stood to the side, their gazes gently falling on Qibao, the corners of their mouths slightly upturned, their eyes full of doting affection.
"Qibao, you're taking the wrong step!" Erbao reminded him with a smile, his tone slightly teasing.
Qibao pouted and said defiantly, "I did nothing wrong! It's you guys who danced incorrectly!"
Sanbao couldn't help but laugh out loud, reaching out to ruffle Qibao's hair. "Alright, alright, it was our fault. You danced the best."
Grandma Tan walked over and saw this scene, a kind smile appearing on her face.
