The next day, Hua Jin went to the hospital for information on Jing Yang’s condition.
He saw the child through the window in the common ward on the fourth floor.
It had been more than half a month since the cornea transplant, and the child was recovering very quickly. He had already been transferred from the special care unit to a normal ward, and he would be discharged soon.
The child was good-looking.
His skin was fair and tender, and his eyes were big and bright. His eyelashes were long and thick like black phoenix feathers. When he blinked, they looked like fluttering butterflies.
What a beautiful child!
If he hadn’t known better, he would have thought that the child was a girl!
When he smiled, two tiny dimples appeared on his cheeks, making him really attractive.
Hua Jin was in a daze looking at the child through the window, when he heard a timid voice saying, “Hello, you are…”
Turning his head, he saw a girl of about twenty. She stood by the side looking extremely nervous. She was dressed very simply, in a white blouse and a pair of washed-out jeans. Her dark hair was loosely tied back with a headband.
However, even though she was simply dressed, her spirited nature did not escape him.
She was very pretty in a delicate and refreshing way, with beautiful big eyes, a high nose bridge, and handsome facial features.
Hua Jin sized her up and immediately guessed her identity.
“Are you Jing Yang’s mother?”
The girl widened her eyes in surprise. “Eh? How did you know?”
“Because the both of you have similar eyes, don’t you?”
The girl smiled and a shy blush spread across her face. She asked cautiously, “Who are you then?”
Obviously, she did not recognize him. It was also obvious that she did not care much about the entertainment industry and rarely watched entertainment programs and television dramas.
Hua Jin smiled faintly. “I’m Gu Xingze’s friend.”
“Gu… oh…”
The girl seemed shocked and covered her mouth like a frightened deer. Soon after, tears welled up in her eyes. She pursed her lips and said gratefully, “If you’re Gu Xingze’s friend, you must be a superstar too!”
“Yes,” Hua Jin said. Through the window, he glanced at the adorable giraffe soft toy on the hospital bed and smiled. “I’m here to see the child.”
“Uh huh, alright. Come in then!”
The girl welcomed him warmly into the ward.
Hua Jin did not stand on ceremony and walked into the ward taking a seat beside the bed.
After a brief conversation, Hua Jin found out her name.
Jing Qi.
It was a simple but pleasant name.
Initially, Qin Zhou had wanted to transfer Gu Xingze’s cornea to Yun Shishi. However, due to her pregnancy, she could not undergo surgery immediately, so he found the child through the hospital.
Jing Qi had rushed to the hospital to clarify the situation. When she heard that there was a cornea donor, she was excited but she asked nervously, “How much is the surgery fee?”
“About forty or fifty thousand.”
Upon hearing this, she felt uneasy.
She could not afford to fork out so much money and was troubled over how to raise this sum.
She did not know who Gu Xingze was and did not watch television. She worked at the factory thirteen hours a day.
It was because life was tough when she was pregnant with Jing Yang, that the child was born without corneas.
