God of Racing

Chapter 848: Chapter 844

"But..."

Aunt Gu was still hesitant, "How much longer can he... live, Ah Sheng? You know what kind of family Ningning has. How many times can he protect Ningning like this? I don’t want him to leave Ningning all alone and helpless after he’s gone."

"Alas."

Yu Sangwan sighed and said nothing more.

...

Downstairs in the car, Le Zhengsheng was waiting for her.

"Ah Sheng." Yu Sangwan patted his shoulder, "Are you okay?"

Le Zhengsheng shook his head with his eyes closed, "I’m fine."

Yu Sangwan frowned, "Let me drive."

Le Zhengsheng said nothing, leaning back in his seat, looking very tired.

The car slowly drove out, and Le Zhengsheng suddenly said, "Wanwan."

"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan glanced at him through the rearview mirror.

"Do you believe there’s such a thing as miracles in this world?"

Yu Sangwan tightened her grip on the steering wheel, "... I believe."

"Ha-ha." Le Zhengsheng laughed, "I shouldn’t have asked you... You’re on my side, you would definitely say that."

"Not really." Yu Sangwan frowned and shook her head, "Miracles are not fairy tales, nor baseless luck... Behind the birth of every miracle, there’s bound to be efforts that ordinary people cannot see... So, Ah Sheng, do you understand what I mean?"

Effort? Is effort enough?

Hasn’t he struggled enough? Ever since he was a child, he’s been tormented by this illness! How many times has he thought of giving up! Yet he’s struggled on till now, still breathing...

But still, he could die any moment...

Le Zhengsheng closed his eyes, a bit of moisture at the corner.

"Wanwan, I’m so tired... I don’t believe in miracles."

Yu Sangwan was shocked, her foot slamming on the brake!

’Screech,’ the car stopped, and she looked at Le Zhengsheng in disbelief. "Ah Sheng?"

...

In the hospital room, Gu Xiaoning woke up, "Ah Sheng!"

Aunt Gu rushed over, supporting her daughter, "Ningning, you’re awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Gu Xiaoning seemed not to hear, "Where’s Ah Sheng?"

"Ah!"

Gu Xiaoning sat up, aggravating her wounds, it hurt a lot.

Aunt Gu looked worried, quickly pressing her back down, "Why are you getting up? You just came out of anesthesia, you need to lie down for a while!"

"Mom... I saw Ah Sheng! Where is he?" Gu Xiaoning clung to her mother, not letting go.

Aunt Gu’s eyes flashed evasively, "He... he left."

"Left?" Gu Xiaoning was stunned, "Why? He just left me here?"

"Ningning." Aunt Gu frowned, seemingly reluctant, "Ah Sheng is a good man, but... how many times can he protect you like this?"

"Mom!"

Gu Xiaoning shouted loudly, startling Aunt Gu.

Since the family incident, the mother and daughter had depended on each other, never once fighting. Life was tough, but Gu Xiaoning never complained, always filial to her mother and loving towards her brother. This was the first time she had shouted at her mother!

"..." Gu Xiaoning paused, her eyes reddening.

"Can’t you see? Don’t you understand yet? Even men in this world who are healthy and come from good families can’t guarantee they’ll walk the whole journey together!"

Gu Xiaoning choked up, "Aren’t you and Dad the best proof of that? What’s wrong with Ah Sheng? You only pity me, but have you thought about it? Ah Sheng is also the treasure of his family! Compared to him, what am I... I’m nothing! He never despised me! So why do you despise him so much?"

"Ningning, mom... " Aunt Gu was speechless.

Gu Xiaoning shook her head, "I won’t listen! I don’t want to hear it! If it weren’t for Ah Sheng this time, would you still see me completely whole?"

Aunt Gu couldn’t say a word, in fact, she had long felt guilty.

"I’m going to find Ah Sheng." Gu Xiaoning threw back the covers, trying to get out of bed.

"Ah, ouch..."

The pain was so intense that Gu Xiaoning grimaced, unable to move.

"Lie down!" Aunt Gu anxiously pressed her down, "I promise not to stand in your way anymore!"

"..." Gu Xiaoning was stunned, almost in disbelief, "Is... is that true?"

Aunt Gu furrowed her brow and nodded with difficulty, "You really like him, and... he truly is a good person. I’m not against him, I’m just worried he can’t stay by your side long enough!"

"Mom!"

Gu Xiaoning smiled broadly, hugging her mother, "Thank you! Mom! You’re the best mom in the world!"

"Oh..." Aunt Gu couldn’t help but sigh, wondering if what she did was right.

Gu Xiaoning obediently lay down, and Aunt Gu handed her the phone, "Call him!"

"Hmm." Gu Xiaoning nodded, dialing Le Zhengsheng’s number.

But, time and again, there was no answer.

...

"Ah Sheng?" Yu Sangwan pushed open the door, immediately hearing the sound of a phone ringing.

The phone was on the coffee table, Le Zhengsheng was sitting on the sofa, but he wasn’t answering... He didn’t seem to have any intention of answering.

Yu Sangwan frowned and walked over to look; it was Gu Xiaoning.

"Ah Sheng?" Yu Sangwan picked up the phone, handing it to Le Zhengsheng, "Ningning is looking for you, answer it!"

Le Zhengsheng shook his head, lacking any energy, "No need, I won’t answer her calls anymore."

He stood up, walking past Yu Sangwan, "I’m going to shower and then sleep."

"..." Yu Sangwan opened her mouth but said nothing.

She had never seen such a despondent Le Zhengsheng before... How could she help him?

On the phone, the name ’Gu Xiaoning’ continued to flash.

It was clear this girl could absolutely be relied upon. But now, Ah Sheng had backed off.

...

The next morning, Yu Sangwan woke up quite early because it was the day for Le Zhengsheng’s follow-up check-up.

"Ah Sheng, I’ll go to the hospital with you."

Le Zhengsheng nodded, "Okay." His spirit was still not too good.

Once at the hospital, after a series of tests, Le Zhengsheng’s stomach began to growl, and he instinctively held his belly.

"Hungry? You can eat now." Yu Sangwan took out the prepared breakfast, setting it on the table, "I’ve made millet porridge, very light. Once the results are out, we need to determine the next treatment plan, so eat something first."

Le Zhengsheng frowned slightly, looking at the breakfast before him, but he had no appetite at all.

"What’s wrong?" Yu Sangwan noticed, "Don’t want it? Is there something specific you want to eat?"

Le Zhengsheng curled his lips, smiling slightly, "Little wontons, I’d like that."

Little wontons, what Gu Xiaoning used to prepare for him after every check-up.

"Oh." Yu Sangwan nodded, "At this point, going home to make them would be too late. Shall I call for delivery?"

Le Zhengsheng stopped her, "No need, I just said it off-hand. This is fine, I’m not that particular."

While he was eating breakfast, Yu Sangwan secretly went to find the doctor.

"Doctor, I want to understand, regarding Le Zhengsheng’s treatment, is there any hope for a cure?"

Asking, Yu Sangwan’s mood was anxious.

The doctor frowned, and his expression wasn’t particularly optimistic.

"The situation is, his illness has no prior cases of recovery, and it’s only just after the first course of treatment now, we can’t give you a definite answer, only that we must remain optimistic."

Upon hearing this, Yu Sangwan’s heart sank... As expected, it was still the same.

"Thank you, Doctor."

Yu Sangwan got up and walked out of the doctor’s office.

Unexpectedly, right outside, Le Zhengsheng was standing there.

"Ah Sheng." Yu Sangwan was startled, feeling as if she had done something wrong and been caught.

Le Zhengsheng curled his lips, his smile bitter, "It’s not optimistic, is it?"

Yu Sangwan’s mouth moved, "We still need to believe that a cure is possible..."
