Chapter Ninety-Six: Save My Child
In May '97, the Lewis Kyles were hit again, they searched for all the relatives they could find for a matching test, but they were never able to find a suitable match with Shipson Kyle, and what made the unfortunate couple even more desperate was that Shipsons had begun to have complications, which means that if they could not find a match as soon as possible, Shipson's body was likely to be further damaged.
At Lewis Kyle's home in Cleveland, dust has begun to accumulate in the house because the couple have been fighting for their son's illness for a long time.
"Shirley, do you have any relatives in China who have no contact?" Lewis has taken a long leave of absence from the police department, and he has searched for almost all his relatives on his side, but the results are still not good, and now the only hope is that his wife can find a suitable match.
Zhao Xueli has always been a tangled face during this time, and the long sleep has made her originally elegant face thin and out of shape, and the dark blue skin around the eye circles and bloodshot eyeballs make Zhao Xueli look like she is seriously ill.
"Shirley, cheer up, Shipson hasn't lost hope yet, you can't give up first, if it doesn't work, we'll sell the house, we'll advertise, we'll find the right fit from everyone in the United States." The long-suppressed emotions made Lewis also start to get a little irritable.
"Lewis, I have severed ties with my relatives in China, and even if I go to them now, it will take a lot of formalities for them to go abroad, and I will not agree to bring Shipson back to China, where the conditions are still very poor." Zhao Xueli said these words with a calm-sounding emphasis.
"Why is this happening? You've never told me this before, and now that Hepson is in a situation like this, can't they even forgive a child? Lewis had never heard his wife talk about that before.
"My grandfather used to be a high-ranking member of the Chinese military, but then he was implicated during the buzz period, and after the end of the period, he went to work in the government, and my father is now a senior official in the Chinese government, and I didn't want to stay in that country after that period, and I left too much hurt and pain there, so I came here and cut off all ties with my previous family. I'm lucky to have met you, and I'm happy. I thought I would never be involved in it again, but now it seems that I was wrong. ”
"Shirley ......"
"I know, Lewis, I love you and I love Hipson, and I wish I was sick."
Lewis hugged Zhao Xueli tightly, who had begun to cry bitterly.
"Whatever the pain is gone, now all we have to do is heal Shipson, and our family will be very happy."
"Honey, I'll tell you everything now, Shipson has an older brother, and he still has a chance to be cured." Zhao Xueli's words left Lewis in shock.
"What do you say, Shirley......"
"I'm sorry, I never told you before, and now I'll tell you all. I used to go to the countryside to work with farmers during the buzz period. It was a very dilapidated and backward place, can you imagine, in the countryside deep in the mountains, there were no trees, all the trees were cut down, there was no water, the peasants could only rely on the sky for food to farm, I stayed there for three whole years, and I almost died of illness there. It was still a very painful experience when I think about it now. When I was sick, my father and grandfather were both imprisoned in different places, it was an aunt there who saved me, I was only 17 years old at the time, and then I lived in that aunt's house, she was very good to me, I was grateful to her, but then her son insulted me, and by coercion, he was arrested and executed, but I was pregnant, I was going to not want that child, but under the bitter pleading of that aunt I gave birth to that child, and then abandoned him, All the memories that used to leave me there were painful, and I couldn't even sleep at all for a while, dreaming about those painful experiences every time. I felt that I had to let go of all that pain to have true peace, and I came here against all odds. ”
Zhao Xueli's words made Lewis fall silent, he didn't expect his wife to have such an experience before.
"And what about that kid now? Whether you can find him, there is hope if you find him, Shipson. All Lewis can think about now is to cure his own child, and he can't even think about anything else right now.
"I abandoned the boy and let him grow up in that painful place, and I thought I would never see him again, but the paper cut that Hipson brought me back in February reminded me of him, the kind of paper cut that the aunt would have."
"You mean ......"
"Yes, that kid is in the United States now, and I left you to find out. I'm sorry for that kid, abandoned him for twenty years, and it's hard to face him now, I don't know if he can forgive me in such a situation, as long as he is willing to come and test the match, whether it succeeds or not, I will spend the rest of my life begging for his forgiveness, you can understand me, right, Lewis. Zhao Xueli explained everything to her husband.
"The most promising match with Shipson right now is this kid, and no matter what, I'll stand with you." Lewis loved this woman with a rough fate.
When Liu Han finished his first Western Conference Finals game with the Jazz, he ran into Zhao and his wife on his way home.
"May I ask if it's Liu Han?" Zhao Xueli's voice was full of apprehensive emotions.
Liu Han said to himself when he saw a woman with a haggard face and a look full of complicated emotions in her eyes. The emotions revealed in this woman's eyes are something Liu Han has never seen before, there are remorse, apologies, and at the same time, there is an indescribable emotion, which is like the one in the eyes of grandma.
"It's me, you're it?" It is rare to meet a compatriot who speaks his mother tongue, although it is a little strange, but Liu Han still did not refuse the other party's question.
"My name is Zhao Xueli, no, my name is Zhao Weihong." Zhao Xueli still said the name that she didn't want to mention herself.
"I know it's a bit presumptuous, but can I go to your house and talk about it?" Zhao Xueli made a somewhat presumptuous request.
"Uh, this, well, I'm not far from here." Liu Han saw the pleading in the woman's eyes.
When he returned home and opened the door, Liu Han was greeted by Safina's warm hug and kiss.
"Congratulations, my dear, on your victory. Uh, sorry, I didn't notice any guests, these two? Safina didn't notice the two behind Liu Han for the first time.
"I don't know either, but they seem to be looking for me."
"I'm sorry, but what are you here for?" Safina was a little wary of the arrival of Zhao Shirley and his wife.
"We came to Liu to say something, sorry for being presumptuous, but if you can, can you let us in and say it, we have no malicious intent."
Safina felt that the two haggard-looking men had let them in as if nothing was going on, but the woman's eyes were full of scrutiny.
Zhao Xueli has been looking at Liu Han since she entered Liu Han's house, except for a circle on Safina.
"So, what are you here for?" Safina was a little annoyed by the woman's gaze at Liu Han.
Silence made Safina and Liu Han feel unusually strange silence, and then Zhao Xueli stared at Liu Han's eyes and began to shed tears, followed by almost venting tears.
"If you do this again, I'll call the police, it's close to the police station." Zhao Xueli's crying made Safina feel angry, what are you doing, she came to someone else's house in the middle of the night to cry, Safina thought to herself.
"We don't mean anything else, we want Liu to save our children." Lewis stated his purpose for coming.
Next, Zhao Xueli told everything in a staccato sob.
"Child, I don't expect you to forgive me, but I just hope that you can give Shipson a little hope, no matter what, that child is innocent, even if you want me to die now." Zhao Xueli's words made Liu Han completely confused, he had no concept of a mother since he was a child, even if he was ridiculed and ridiculed by all the children in the village, he didn't think about why he had a mother, he only knew that grandma was the best person since he was sensible.
"Enough, lady, I don't know where you learned about this story, but do you think it's appropriate for you to behave like this? You yourself abandoned your own child, let him grow up in discrimination and suffering since he was a child, and now you need to save your own other child, you only think of Liu, is this fair to Liu? Now, please get out. Zhao Xueli's words did not anger Liu Han, but aroused Safina's anger, and Safina felt that Zhao Xueli's behavior was shameless.
Zhao Xueli didn't have any argument when she heard Safina's words, she knew that what she was doing now was really excessive, from Liu Han's point of view, it was her mother who abandoned her for twenty years, and then begged herself to save his other child, which would probably make anyone feel angry.
"You mean, you're my mom, aren't you?" There was no emotion in Liu Han's words.
"Yes, my mother, ......hmm, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for your grandmother, please give me a chance to make amends, don't ......" Zhao Xueli said while crying, and then she gave up all her dignity and knelt down in front of Liu Han and kept kowtowing.
"What are you doing, you don't want to be like this, oops, okay, I promise you, I promise you." Liu Han was frightened by Zhao Xueli's behavior, he was a little overwhelmed, but he saw despair and pleading in the other party's eyes, no matter what he said, he couldn't refuse a mother's prayer to save her son.
Liu Han may be a little angry, but he is not aimed at Zhao Xueli abandoning himself, in his influence, grandma always said how beautiful his mother is, how virtuous, it is their Liu family who is sorry for others, Liu Han's anger just feels that Zhao Xueli is a little sorry for his grandmother.
