CHAPTER 543: CHAPTER 544: I WILL DO MY BEST

Shi Lingyan didn’t sit down. Seeing this, Madam Bai called out to him, "Ling Yan, please sit down. You must be tired from standing, come."

Bai Yuejie also looked up at Shi Lingyan, her voice weak as she called out, "Brother Ling Yan."

"Hmm," Shi Lingyan responded indifferently, "how are you feeling now?"

When Bai Yuejie heard this, she looked into Shi Lingyan’s hollow and empty eyes and said, "I feel like I’m about to die."

Her voice was soft, carrying a hint of despairing sorrow.

Upon hearing these words, Madam Bai nearly burst into tears, covering her eyes with a handkerchief and choking out, "You, don’t say such nonsense, you will definitely get better. Your father has already reached out to friends from all walks of life to help find a compatible heart. As soon as we find a suitable one, we can replace it for you, you will definitely get better."

Bai Yuejie, of course, was also aware of this fact and subconsciously glanced towards Uncle Liu, who was standing far away.

At that moment, Uncle Liu was already looking over as well.

Shi Lingyan noticed the exchange of looks between them, and his eyes darkened slightly as he said indifferently, "I will also pay attention. Uncle Tang is at the military hospital, where there is a large influx of soldiers every day. Since many are willing to sacrifice their lives for the country, they would naturally be willing to donate their hearts to you as well. There will be a suitable one, and you’ll survive."

To not properly survive, how could he let her know that Shi Mei was actually Tang Wu?

To not properly survive, how could he let her see with her own eyes as he marries Tang Wu and has children with her?

Bai Yuejie was unaware of Shi Lingyan’s thoughts at the moment. Not expecting Shi Lingyan to actually consider her well-being and say such words, she wondered... Was he truly sincere about wanting to help her find a suitable heart?

Bai Yuejie’s face showed emotion, but upon seeing this, Uncle Liu furrowed his brows and said, "Finding a compatible heart is not to be underestimated. It’s almost a one in a hundred thousand chance. Even if the military hospital has many cadavers coming and going, who can guarantee that there will definitely be a suitable heart? And even if it’s suitable, who can ensure that the heart will be fresh and there will be no rejection reaction?"

Bai Yuejie suddenly became alert.

Shi Lingyan’s gaze shifted to Uncle Liu, his voice somber, "Hearts are supposed to be harvested from cadavers. Or do you think you can extract one from a living person? You want to survive, but don’t others want to as well? What’s the point of killing a living person to satisfy one’s own fleeting life?"

Uncle Liu’s eyelids twitched violently. He looked over, only to hear Shi Lingyan continue, "And even if you extract it from a living person, it’s not possible to avoid a rejection reaction. If there were no rejection reactions, wouldn’t everyone be able to live healthily? Right, Yuejie?"

Bai Yuejie’s eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Shi Lingyan, her gaze uncertain and slightly panicked.

What did he mean by saying this? Could it be... that he knew something?

"What are you talking about," Madam Bai’s voice was choked with sobs, "Our Bai Family has always been kind-hearted and devout to Buddhism, how could we possibly do such a thing as taking a heart from a living person? Please, Ling Yan, since you know Tang Wu’s father well, can you ask him to help keep a lookout for us? With so many military hospitals in Yan City, and so many soldiers encountering misfortune or suffering from severe illnesses yet having good hearts, there must be someone who can save Yuejie’s life!"

Shi Lingyan looked down, "Of course, of course there’s no problem, I will do everything in my power to save her."

Madam Bai was ecstatic, "Ling Yan, thank you, thank you! You will definitely find a way. You know so many people, you’ve donated to so many Hope Schools, and good people will definitely have their wishes fulfilled!"
