Chapter 658: Kindness
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the dim room, the woman sat alone on the wide bed. Her hands and feet were tied up and she could not move.
Inside the house, the curtains were tightly drawn, and there was no light coming through.
She could not remember how long she had been locked up here. She only knew that her stomach was in so much pain that she could not feel anything. If she did not think of a way to get out, she would definitely die here.
If she had not shown kindness that day, perhaps none of this would have happened.
That day, the sun was shining brightly. She had just finished a class with the students when she received a call from the hospital.
In the past, when she was in university, she was sent by the school to donate stem cells to the hospital, so her sample had been stored in the hospital’s database.
She did not take it to heart, but she did not expect to receive a call from the hospital many years later.
“Hello, this is the City People’s Hospital. Are you Miss Tang Zhi? Our hospital has just taken in a critical patient. Based on the stem cells you once donated, your profile matches that of the patient. Are you willing to come to the hospital to donate bone marrow to the patient?”
Tang Zhi’s hands and feet turned cold when she received this call.
Back then, she only went to the hospital to donate cells for credits, but she didn’t expect to be needed one day.
However, donating her bone marrow was not a small matter. She did not have the courage to sacrifice her bone marrow selflessly.
When the hospital heard that there was no sound from the phone for a long time, they understood what was going on. They only persuaded her a few more times before hanging up.
Although Tang Zhi felt guilty and uneasy, she could only try her best to put this matter behind her and not think about it.
However, what she did not expect was that the call was just the beginning.
A few days ago, she had just left the house when she was stopped by a rough-looking man.
The man seemed to know her. When he saw her come out, he immediately greeted her and dragged her into the car.
“Let go of me. Where are you taking me? My mother calls me every night. If she can’t contact me, she’ll definitely call the police!”
Tang Zhi was trying to hoodwink the man to scare him. However, the man was unmoved. He held her shoulders and made her unable to move. “Don’t scream yet. Listen to me, Miss Tang. I’m really here to beg you for something very important!”
“Beg me? Then let go of me first!”
In the narrow car seat, Tang Zhi couldn’t struggle against a man as strong as an ox. She could only try her best to soften her tone and cooperate with the man to quieten down first.
Seeing that she was no longer struggling, the man released his grip tentatively. However, he still pressed the button on the car door and locked her side of the car.
“What do you want to tell me?” Tang Zhi became even more flustered when she saw the man’s actions. She subconsciously put her hands behind her back and was about to call the police.
But even her little intentions were easily seen through by the man.
He snatched her phone away and held it in his hand. Then, he begged her humbly, “Can you not call the police? I really don’t have any ill intentions. 1 just want you to save my daughter!”
“Your daughter?” Tang Zhi was stunned for a moment before she reacted. “Is the call from the hospital true? Your daughter is the patient who needs a bone marrow donation?”
The man nodded heavily, and a trace of hope appeared in his eyes. “I know you’re a teacher. Teachers love their students very much, right? My daughter is just in kindergarten. She’s really too young. 1 only have one daughter. Can you please save her? I’m willing to give you any amount of money you want. Really, I’m willing to go bankrupt. As long as you can save my daughter, I’m willing to do anything!”
Looking at the man’s pitiful appearance, Tang Zhi gradually relaxed the tension in her mind. Although her hands were still trembling from shock, she was much calmer than before.
She hesitated for a moment, subconscious guilt in her voice. “I’m sorry. 1 don’t want to be on the operating table. I’m really afraid. Can you find someone else? There might be someone willing to donate bone marrow to match your daughter.”
“You’re a teacher!” The man widened his eyes in disbelief and grabbed her wrist with a low growl. His expression was as fierce as a Rakshasa about to eat someone.
Tang Zhi, who had just relaxed, became vigilant again.
She began to resist the man’s grasp desperately, but she could only be suppressed by the man.
She was pressed against the car seat and could not move.
When Tang Zhi was hired by this school, she rented an old neighborhood close to the school in order to take care of her paralyzed mother.
The rent here was cheap, and the neighbors were all enthusiastic uncles and aunties. Usually, when she went to school for class, these neighbors would help her take care of her mother.
She had always felt that this place was quiet and secluded, suitable for her mother to recuperate. However, she did not expect that this place would also make her cry out in vain.
After an unknown period of time, Tang Zhi was a little tired from struggling. Her neatly combed hair was also in a mess..
