Chapter 329 The Illness Worsens
The opposing chief lawyer was very imposing.
"The agreement signed by the Song Group is in black and white, with the contract date and Mrs. Song's signature."
"It worked, didn't it?" he drawled, the last syllable rising in pitch.
"This document..."
Song Yafei stood up.
"We really need to take a good look."
"Call the legal department over here!" Her voice wasn't loud, but firm, showing no sign of being intimidated by the force on the other side.
I silently gave her a thumbs up in my heart.
Just then, my phone in my pocket buzzed twice.
I casually shifted my position, secretly took out my phone, and peeked at it from under the table.
Hospital? Just those two words made my eyelids twitch.
'Xiao Xiaotian's condition has suddenly deteriorated, and he urgently needs a bone marrow match. We need to prepare for surgery as soon as possible.'
This sentence made my heart ache, and I couldn't even catch my breath.
The surgery and follow-up treatment will require at least another million yuan, and the company's financial problems have not yet been resolved.
Moreover, where would you find a match?
I clenched my teeth tightly to force down the panic and fear that surged to my throat.
I looked up and quickly gave Song Yafei a look.
In that instant, she understood.
As expected...
"The meeting will be paused for ten minutes."
She spoke, her voice not loud, even a little hoarse, but it carried weight.
The people in the conference room, including the arrogant, smug lawyer across from them, were all momentarily stunned.
Ignoring everyone else, we quickly walked out of the meeting room and found a corner in the stairwell.
She couldn't hold back any longer as soon as she stood still.
"what happened?"
"Xiao Xiaotian needs a matching surgery as soon as possible, and there are also medical expenses..."
Upon hearing this, the seemingly invincible strong woman seemed to vanish instantly, her eyes turning frighteningly red.
I took a breath, my chest still aching, and tried to make my voice sound less ethereal.
"I still have some assets under my name, so I'll mortgage what I can first."
"But this little bit of money, thrown into that bottomless pit of the hospital..."
She shook her head, looked at me with a very complicated expression, and felt a pang of heartache.
"How long can it last?"
"This is not a long-term solution."
I didn't say anything.
Yes, it's not a long-term solution.
But what else can we do right now besides this?
I simply reached out and grabbed her arm, using a bit of force, holding it very tightly.
I just hope to make her feel a little better, even if it's just a little bit of support.
Her shoulders trembled slightly.
But at least, she felt she wasn't alone.
My phone vibrated again, which was completely out of place.
The screen lit up again; it was Lin Qiuran calling.
“I can’t stand idly by when Little Sky is in trouble. I’ve mortgaged my shares in The Green.”
"Brother, this..."
I subconsciously whispered a reply, my throat feeling a little tight.
He wouldn't let me speak again, and said in a commanding tone, "Stop talking nonsense! You don't need to be polite with me!"
"Life is more important than money!"
His words were concise and to the point, without any beating around the bush.
I gripped my phone tightly, stunned for several seconds.
Lin Qiuran's affection is more real than gold.
After giving a few instructions, I hurriedly handed the opposing legal team over to the legal department for coordination, and then went to the hospital with Song Yafei.
That evening, after I had just settled the child in, another incident happened at the company.
Hongtu actually sent hackers to cause trouble.
The target is the financial system.
Is this an attempt to take advantage of our internal and external troubles to undermine us?
My stomach was already cramping and aching because of Xiao Xiaotian's situation.
There's no time to worry about that now.
He rushed to the technical department, plopped down in front of the computer, and stared intently at the constantly scrolling code and alerts on the screen.
My fingers clattered across the keyboard, so fast they almost left afterimages.
Fix the vulnerability, trace the source, configure the firewall, and then...
Counterattack!
We must fight back!
Time passed second by second, and the stomach pain grew more and more severe, with spasms coming in waves.
Hang in there!
Finally, the last anti-tracking command was typed and Enter was pressed.
Become!
A message popped up on the screen saying "System restored to normal, threat removed".
I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes, breathing heavily.
My hands were shaking so badly that I tried to reach for the water glass on the table.
The cool water slid into my parched throat, slightly easing the burning pain.
"nailed it."
I let out a long breath and was about to stand up by supporting myself on the table to stretch my stiff body when I heard a muffled "thump" from the side.
The noise wasn't loud, but it was very clear.
I turned my head abruptly.
Song Yafei!
She fell to the ground, not far from me.
My mind went blank for a moment.
Forgot about fatigue, stomachache, and hacking!
"Song Yafei!"
I rushed over, knelt down, helped her up, and held her in my arms.
"What's wrong with you?! Wake up!"
My voice cracked from anxiety, and I felt the scene before me blurring.
No!
You absolutely cannot get hurt!
How can you fall down at a time like this!
"No...don't faint..."
Her voice was very soft, almost a whisper, and her eyes were barely open, unfocused.
"I...I'm fine..."
Her face was as white as the wallpaper! Her lips were completely bloodless!
"Get him to the hospital immediately!"
I called out to the head of the company's administration department.
……
Another hospital visit. I had just settled Xiao Xiaotian down a bit when this bolt from the blue struck.
The inspection results came out.
Uterine fibroids.
Immediate surgery is required.
Holding that thin diagnostic report, my hands trembled even more than when I was in front of the computer.
The doctor was still saying things like "benign," "very common," and "the surgery is minor, don't worry too much," but my ears were ringing and I didn't hear a word he said.
A nurse handed me a surgical consent form and a pen.
"Family members, please sign."
Family members...
I looked down at the blank space on the form that required my signature, then looked up at Song Yafei lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed.
Walk over, bend down, and take her hand tightly.
Pick up that pen.
The pen tip hovered over the paper for a long time.
This pen feels incredibly heavy.
In the past, it seemed like she was always the one standing in front of me, protecting me, and taking the blame.
Whether it's the open and covert struggles at work, or the ups and downs in life.
this time……
I took a deep breath, as if I were gathering all my strength into the tip of the pen.
Then, stroke by stroke, I wrote my name with great force.
After I signed the papers, I looked up at her pale face.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was very clear.
"This time, it's my turn."
Her long eyelashes trembled, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
His eyes looked somewhat lost and weak.
A few seconds later, the corners of her mouth twitched upwards very slightly.
That smile is so warm.
