84: Chapter 0084: Zhou Wenting 84: Chapter 0084: Zhou Wenting “` Illness is the most heartless enemy; it doesn’t discriminate against a person’s family background, status, wealth, or appearance. When it decides to torment someone, it does so mercilessly; when it decides someone should die, they die. Now, Zhou Yuxia and Zhou Lili were fully aware of their father’s condition and had similarly prepared themselves mentally. “Lili, notify Wenting to come back to the country quickly. Perhaps she could see our father for one last time.” Zhou Yuxia suddenly thought of her younger sister Zhou Wenting, who was studying in Europe. Zhou Wenting was their full sister, also the fourth daughter of Zhou Bao’s first wife, Wang Yulian. After having four daughters in a row, and considering how his secretary Liu Yu had taken good care of him in every aspect, Zhou Bao decided to divorce and marry Liu Yu to have a son. Of course, that Zhou Wenting was Zhou Bao and Wang Yulian’s youngest daughter and was also the most cherished by Zhou Bao. However, once Wenting became sensible, she no longer wished to live with her father. From the third grade of primary school onwards, Zhou Wenting seldom met with Zhou Bao again. It was not until university that Zhou Wenting decided to study abroad in Europe. Half a year ago, Zhou Bao was diagnosed with mid-stage lung cancer, and Wenting was already aware, but thinking about her mother’s situation, she still hadn’t forgiven Zhou Bao and stayed in Europe. Now Zhou Yuxia felt that her father might leave this world at any moment. Even if her sister hated their father for divorcing their mother, it couldn’t be denied that the bond of blood was thicker than water. “Big sister, I’ll call her right now.” Zhou Lili said. She stepped out of the office, took out her mobile phone, and called Zhou Lili. Zhou Wenting was studying medicine at the University of Marseille; it was over three in the morning in France, and she was sleeping in a daze when her phone by the bed suddenly rang. In fact, these past days, she had been having nightmares, where she dreamed that her father wanted to see her one last time but couldn’t. Wenting’s hatred and resentment towards her father had already dissipated in her heart, but for some reason, after learning about his serious illness, she was reluctant to return. Now, considering her and her father’s situation, Zhou Wenting hadn’t rested much at all. She had just fallen asleep when the ringtone of her mobile phone sounded. When she picked it up, she saw that it was a call from her second sister, Zhou Lili. “Second sister, what’s going on?” “Wenting, buy a plane ticket and come back now. Father might not have much longer to live!” Zhou Lili said. “Is it that serious?” Zhou Wenting, who was studying medicine with a focus on Western internal medicine, knew very well about diseases like lung cancer. She understood that the mortality rate of lung cancer was the highest both domestically and abroad, and the treatment outcomes were not very promising. The fact that her father had survived more than half a year after being diagnosed with lung cancer was already quite fortunate. “The Chief of Jinling Hospital said the doctors are out of options. They’ve issued a critical condition notice for our father in advance and told us to prepare ourselves mentally,” Zhou Yuxia said. Upon hearing her sister say that, Zhou Wenting fell silent for a moment and for a long time didn’t seem to know what to think. But then, tears streamed down her eyes. Zhou Wenting knew that no matter what, in her heart, she still loved her father. “Wenting, what’s wrong?” “` “Second sister, it’s nothing, I just had a bad signal. I’m packing up now to fly back to Jinling,” Zhou Wenting said. “Don’t bother taking anything. Just get on a plane to Jinling immediately. If there are no tickets to Jinling, then buy a ticket to East Sea City,” Zhou Lili said anxiously. Zhou Wenting then realized that her father’s condition was more serious than she had imagined. Zhou Lili didn’t say much more to Zhou Wenting. After hanging up the phone, she suddenly saw a nurse rushing over and saying, “Director Zhou, the patient in Room 809 is showing significant changes on the ECG.” Hearing the nurse say this, Zhou Peng, Zhou Yuxia, and Zhou Lili all knew Zhou Bao’s situation was very serious. Zhou Peng and sisters Zhou Yuxia hurriedly went into the high-level ward. The doctors were now performing an all-around rescue, while the rest of the Zhou Family watched from outside. However, from the looks on their faces, it seemed that Zhou Bao might not even make it through the day. Zhou Wenting had just come out of her apartment. She only took her passport and wallet, not packing anything else, and headed for the airport in Marseille. A direct flight back to Jinling would take at least thirty hours. But now, in the middle of the night, Zhou Wenting saw that the nearest departure time in Paris was at six in the morning, which was still a long time away. She then checked the flights back to East Sea and saw that there would be one leaving in half an hour. When Zhou Wenting went to buy a ticket for the plane back to East Sea, she found that they were already sold out. It was then that Zhou Wenting realized how much she truly cared about her father. It was only her sympathy for her mother and her resentment toward her father’s second marriage that had made her act differently before. Now, wanting to fly directly back to Jinling, she definitely had to wait until six in the morning, meaning she would have to spend two more hours waiting at the airport. Zhou Wenting took out her cell phone to call her second sister, Zhou Lili. After about ten minutes, Zhou Lili called back and asked, “Fourth sister, did you just get a plane ticket?” “I have to wait another two hours before I can board the plane,” Zhou Wenting replied. After hearing this, Zhou Lili sighed and said, “Dad has just undergone another emergency treatment by the doctors. You should pray that you can make it back to see him one last time.” Zhou Wenting knew exactly what was going on. In her silence, not knowing what to say, Zhou Lili had already hung up the phone at the other end. At that moment, Zhou Wenting, who didn’t believe in any spirits and only trusted in science, could only pray that God would allow her to return to Jinling and see her father one last time, to tell him she had forgiven him a long time ago. Zhou Wenting knew that her father had now reached the advanced stages of lung cancer, with the cancer cells having spread and causing other illnesses. She understood that complete recovery was no longer possible for her father. The only thing she could hope for now was that her father would hold on long enough for her to see him one last time when she flew back to Jinling. In Jinling Hospital, the internal medicine and pulmonary departments’ leading physicians were in Zhou Bao’s high-level ward, conducting an all-around rescue which finally stabilized his condition once again. However, the doctors knew that no matter what, Zhou Bao could only fight for every minute he had left, and the Zhou family was mentally prepared. Yet now, the Zhou family was all waiting for Zhou Wenting to fly back from France to see Zhou Bao one last time; otherwise, he might pass away with unresolved feelings. “Miss Zhou, perhaps there might be someone who can save your father,” For some reason, Zhou Peng suddenly remembered Ye Qiu, the young man who had previously saved the life of Deputy Mayor Li’s daughter here at the hospital.
