Chapter 3069: The Love Of Your Life (40)
“Do you know how guilty I felt when I found out that you had lost your sight? I felt that I must have said something bad to make it come true! I thought, God must have felt that I was too fortunate to have found a sister like you, hence there had to be some sort of retribution, but you ended up getting the brunt of it! And I thought, since God wanted me to fulfill my promise…”
Yun Shishi pursed her lips. Seeing that he had repeatedly guaranteed that he would stop pursuing the idea of a surgery, she could not really bear to remain angry.
She turned around. Although she could not see him, she still tried to widen her eyes to look at him. She said angrily, “Hua Jin, why are you so silly? Do you understand the despair of not being able to see anything?”
Startled, Hua Jin nodded. “Yes… I know.”
“Then why do you want to do such a silly thing?”
Hua Jin smiled. “Because… you’re my closest kin. Besides you, who else can I dote on?”
Yun Shishi had mixed feelings when she heard this. Initially, she had thought that he was only paying lip service, she did not expect him to really do such a thing!
She reached out and fumbled to hold his hand, saying, “Hua Jin, Xiao Jie said that he will do his best to help me find a suitable donor! I believe him, and you must believe him. Please don’t do anything foolish again!”
“Uh huh!”
“Promise me that! Otherwise, I’ll never speak to you again!”
Hua Jin smiled and nodded with tears in his eyes.
Thus, the matter of the surgery was left as it stood!
It was not as if there was no progress with the cornea issue. Hurricane Group had a wide network of connections, which far surpassed even the Mu Group’s.
Mu Yazhe and Gong Jie split up the task and each looked within their network.
In fact, it was not that they had no source of corneas, just that these were not ideal donors. Mu Yazhe was very picky and did not want to just settle for any donor.
Most of them were prisoners on death row. The man believed in karma very much, so he absolutely would not take the donations of prisoners on death row.
During this period of time, Gong Jie did not return to the Gong family once. This came to the attention of a certain man.
The Gong family residence.
Gong Shaoying summoned his most capable subordinate, Vermillion Bird, to ask after Gong Jie’s whereabouts.
When Gong Jie left the Gong family previously, he did not take Vermillion Bird with him. However, even then, Vermillion Bird had good knowledge of Gong Jie’s whereabouts. Only, the man had repeatedly instructed her not to mention his whereabouts if his father were to ask.
Therefore, when Gong Shaoying asked about Gong Jie’s whereabouts, Vermillion Bird kept her mouth shut and did not say a word.
Gong Shaoying knew that Vermillion Bird had a tight lip. It would be difficult to pry open her mouth to reveal Gong Jie’s whereabouts.
However, the fact that Vermillion Bird did not mention Gong Jie’s whereabouts at all was, conversely, a relief for Gong Shaoying. This told him that the kid must have run off somewhere to have some fun, so he didn’t really have to worry that something bad had happened!
In the past, Gong Jie would always keep him informed wherever he went. But during this period of time, he was secretive and he deliberately hid it from him.
Gong Shaoying felt that there was something fishy about this. He wondered if the lad was finally in some sort of relationship and was spending time with a woman, indulging himself in it all and just could not bear to come home?!
With that thought in mind, Gong Shaoying became somewhat excited!
The fact was, this son of his was very slow-witted. He did not seem to be very enlightened about women. At his age, he did not even have a steady date.
