Chapter 276: 276

Those words struck through Shi Guang’s mind like thunderbolts, rendering her frighteningly pale, with her mind in a complete daze . “D-Doctor… you m-must save my grandma!!!”

Mo Ziying was frightened into tears as well . “D-Doctor! Please save my mother!”

Lu Yanchen was the only one who could hold himself together at that moment . “What’s the probability of success?”

The doctor replied, “20% . ”

So low!

Shi Guang’s mind whirled as her eyes went into a dizzying frenzy fuelled by fear .

The doctor continued, “You guys can go visit the patient and give her words of encouragement . That will be helpful toward the success of the surgery . ”

He paused for a brief moment . “But… you guys should still be prepared for the worst . ”

This was a situation with no other options—the surgery was a must . Shi Guang tried her best to manage her emotions before heading into the emergency room as calm as she could . But, when she caught sight of her grandma on the surgery table, those emotions that she kept within her tightly still could not help but spill out along with her tears .

Grandma’s bones and forehead was broken . The fact that she was drenched in sweat from head to toe was evidence of how intense the pain was .

Shi Guang bawled out while walking over to wipe the sweat off her grandma . “Grandma, you mustn’t leave me alone! Nothing will happen to you for sure!”

At this moment, grandma’s consciousness was totally lucid . Her wrinkled face broke out into a benevolent smile as she was the one who consoled Shi Guang, who was bawling terribly, instead, “Grandma’s fine, don’t cry…”

Her voice was hoarse, with barely any air supporting her speech .

Raising her eyes slowly, she caught sight of Lu Yanchen beside Shi Guang as well . “Little Chen!”

Grandma was trying her best to endure the pain as she raised her hand quaveringly . Immediately, Lu Yanchen bent over and reached out, holding onto grandma’s hand firmly .

Grandma’s hand was skinny and wrinkly, filled with calluses .

She took a few deep breaths before slowly pushing her words out, “Grandma’s only regret is not being able to see you two get married . ”

Lu Yanchen replied to her solemnly, “I’ve already proposed . I was just about to ask you if it’s alright for us to get married next month, grandma . ”

Shi Guang was stunned as she looked at Lu Yanchen in a daze . She then recalled the words of the doctor, and everything became clear .

With teary eyes, she nodded her head repeatedly to grandma . “Y-Yes! We’re going to get married right away! Grandma! You must promise me that you’ll definitely come to see us get married! Otherwise, I’m not going to marry him anymore!”

“Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? That won’t do…”

Before she could even finish with her words, grandma started rolling her eyes as her expression turned even more terrible than ever, looking as though she was barely hanging onto her last thread .

Shi Guang sprinted out of the emergency room maniacally while screaming, “D-DOCTOR! DOCTOR!”

That was a cry ever so dismal and helpless .

The doctor rushed in and chased everyone out . Time was almost up—he had to do the surgery now .

The red light above the doors lit up once more .

Shi Guang’s placed her hands on the sturdy doors as tears trickled down her cheeks while she muttered helplessly, “Grandma…!”

She was afraid… really, really afraid .

There was a single clip that was replaying itself endlessly in her mind .

Back in junior high, she was standing in front of the emergency room as well, all alone . But, no matter how she begged the Heavens that day, the doctor still came out with the news .

She had lost the two people dearest to her .

Just like that, she became a child without parents .

At that very moment, Shi Guang experienced the very same despair and helplessness she had back then as her body broke out into an uncontrollable shiver .

Cold…

It was cold…

It was so cold that it seemed as though she was standing in the middle of a snowstorm all naked .

And it was at that moment that warmth came . A sense of warmth encompassed her, purging away a little of her fears and anxiety at that moment .

Lu Yanchen hugged her from the back, embracing her within his broad, firm arms while speaking out in a soft, tender tone, “Don’t be afraid… Grandma will be fine…”
