I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 343

“Huan, don’t cry.” Fu Chengyan wrapped his arms around her and patted her softly. When she finally calmed down, he glanced at everyone else before settling on Li Heng. “I think we should let her know now.”

“Huh? You’ve been hiding something from me? Why do you keep delaying the surgery?” Pei Huan was confused. She could understand if only a few of them were against the surgery. But if Fu Chengyan was against the surgery too, then something must be off.

Pei Huan glanced at the men, who seemed grim. Strangely, she had a bad feeling about it. Sure enough, Li Heng’s reply was more a struggle. “Okay!”

Pei Huan couldn’t help but tremble at his answer. She gripped her sleeves nervously and held her breath.

A flash of pain appeared in Li Heng’s eyes upon seeing her reaction. He stepped forward to take Pei Huan’s hand and caressed her affectionately. “I’ll be by your side no matter what happens.”

Feeling uncomfortable, Pei Huan tried to release herself from his grip, but Li Heng refused to let go.

He pulled Pei Huan to the sofa and sat down. “Do you know why we are against the surgery? It’s not that we don’t care about Mom, it’s because you are not 100% healthy. Even if the surgery is a success, both you and Mom might be in danger.”

“What do you mean?” Pei Huan’s brows snapped together. Right then, Su Shaoqing handed her a file and sighed. “Read it.”

Pei Huan was puzzled at Su Shaoqing’s words. She took the file, which was her body checkup report. Everything seemed normal, save for a note that mentioned there was a virus in her body. There was no extra information about that virus.

“What does this mean? I might be weak, but I’m not that frail. What does this virus mean?”

Pei Huan pointed at the file, while Li Heng froze and frowned at what he saw.

Su Shaoqing pursed his lips. “There’s a virus in your body. It has been injected some time ago. We only found out about it during your body checkup.”

Realization dawned upon Pei Huan. She nearly fell down from the chair in dismay. Luckily, Li Heng grabbed her. “Huan!”

Pei Huan flung his hand away. She stared at Li Heng, seemingly out of sorts. Her lips parted, but nothing came out. At the sight of her despair, Li Heng felt his heart ache. “Don’t worry. Shaoqing will deal with this.”

“Deal with this?” Pei Huan shivered slightly. After a moment of silence, she glanced at Fu Chengyan helplessly. When she saw the affirmation in his gaze, she broke down. “When did this happen? What virus is this? How could I have known nothing about it? You must’ve gotten it wrong, right？ I feel fine! Totally fine!”

“Pei Huan, there’s an incubation period for this virus before it acts up. That’s why you felt nothing. We dare not carry out the transplant for now because the moment we take out your bone marrow, the virus might attack your body. When Aunt Ning receives your bone marrow, she might be infected, too. That’s why we—”

“Enough!” Pei Huan interrupted Su Shaoqing rudely. “I don’t believe a word you say. I’m not infected with the virus! I’ve been…” Suddenly, she froze as something flashed across her mind swiftly.

She pursed her lips grimly. “Then what virus is this? Can you treat it in time? My mom…” She can’t wait any longer.

Li Heng narrowed his gaze at Pei Huan’s reaction, a horrible feeling overwhelming his heart. “Huan, did you think of something?”

“No!” Pei Huan denied vehemently.

The more anxious she was, the more certain Li Heng was that she had just recalled something. But since she refused to say anything, Li Heng had to hold it in.

Pei Huan took a deep breath. “Mr. Su, my mom has always been nice to you. I really need your help. If I can’t donate my bone marrow, can we find another donor?”

“Well,” Su Shaoqing seemed stumped. “Pei Huan, you should know not even direct relatives have matching blood types, let alone matching bone marrow. It’s rare for you to be a match for Aunt Ning. If you’re thinking of finding another donor, it would be harder than finding a needle in a haystack.”

Su Shaoqing had no intention of dealing a blow on her, but he had to explain the truth to her.

Pei Huan was so dumbfounded that she nearly fainted after jumping to her feet.

Li Heng held her quickly. “Huan.”

“Li Heng, you must have another plan, right? Even if it’s a slight possibility, I will try it out. I can’t lose my mom!” I have a lot to tell her. I don’t want to regret it for the rest of my life!

The Ning family!
