Chapter 2944: The Living Cannot Donate Corneas (2)

When Qin Zhou learned about this situation, he recalled that coincidentally, Gu Xingze had a sum of money that was specially set aside for charity.

In addition to being an organ donor, Gu Xingze had also filled in a form for surgical fund donation.

In other words, he had pledged a sum of money for the organ transplant surgeries, to aid families that could not afford the surgery fees.

When Qin Zhou brought up this matter, Jingqi felt extremely guilty. After insisting repeatedly, she wrote out a loan slip to Qin Zhou. She said seriously, “No matter what, this sum of money must be returned! Although I don’t know when I can repay it, I will try my best to repay it.”

The surgery was very successful.

Jing Yang was full of vitality. Other than his congenital eye condition, his little body was very healthy.

This little fellow was especially fond of smiling. He had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, and when he smiled, it was warm and affectionate, as if countless little stars were hidden within.

The moment the gauze was removed, the 7-month-old child saw the nurse’s face and laughed.

The nurses especially liked this little fellow.

“Why does this little guy like to smile so much?”

“He can’t stop smiling, that’s so funny!”

“During the surgery, he didn’t cry even when he was given the anesthesia shot! I heard from his mother that from the time he was born, he was different from other children. Most babies come into the world bawling loudly, but what about him? The nurse who delivered the child slapped his b.u.t.t and he immediately laughed.”

“This is such a rarity.”

…

Hua Jin raised an eyebrow at the boy, who was now being carried and teased by the nurse, and refusing to let go of his soft toy. “How cute.”

“Thank you.” Jing Qi said politely.

She nervously rubbed her palms together and said gratefully, “I’ve never dared to hope that the child can one day see, because the surgery costs are so high, in the tens of thousands, and our family can’t afford it.”

Hua Jin could not help feeling that something was amiss. He looked around and saw that there was no one else in the ward other than her.

He asked curiously, “Where’s your husband?”

“He…”

Jing Qi felt awkward for a moment and immediately said, “He’s rather busy and rarely has time for us.”

“Oh, I see.”

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk about it, he did not ask further.

“He was diagnosed with a problem with his eye upon birth, so we’ve been waiting for a cornea donor. But I didn’t expect that I’d be so lucky. The opportunity came so quickly that I didn’t have time to prepare the surgery fees.”

However, forty to fifty thousand yuan was an astronomical figure to her.

After six months of scrimping and saving, she had only acc.u.mulated over ten thousand yuan.

She was already trying her best to save money. She couldn’t possibly take from the child’s expenses, otherwise the child might not develop well.

Her monthly salary from the factory was just over 4,000 yuan. After deducting her expenses and the fact that she had given birth, she only managed to save up that much.

She had initially hoped that she would have saved up enough money for the surgery by the time a cornea donor came along.

Unexpectedly, six months later, there was sudden news.

After she received the call from the hospital, she did not have time to think. She took the child to the hospital for a series of examinations.

This was because if they missed this opportunity, no one knew when the next one would come along.

At first, she was worried that the child was too young and did not qualify for surgery. However, after the examinations, the conclusion was that the child could undergo surgery.
