But perhaps Heaven was punishing her for lying. It had been less than a year since she broke up with Yan Yi Bai, and now her mother had developed Kidney Disease.
Unlike her terminal illness, her mother's condition was treatable, as long as there was money.
That was why she was frantically trying to earn money, desperate to save her mother.
She once thought that the only meaning left in her dwindling life was to save her mother, but unexpectedly, she encountered him again.
The former Pauper had transformed into the Yan Family Young Master, while she had gone from a beautiful, vibrant girl to a dying person.
It seemed that the two of them were destined to miss each other in this lifetime.
Yet at this moment… in the final moments of her life, it truly felt like she wanted to see him…
Although reason constantly told her not to meet Yan Yi Bai, emotionally, she couldn't help but make the call.
Perhaps it would be the last time.
Heaven, let me be willful just this once; let me see him before I die.
That way, maybe when I die, I can still remember his appearance and scent…
After much hesitation, Su Ruoyun finally dialed the number. After several long beeps, the call connected.
"Hello." Yan Yi Bai's impatient voice quickly came through the phone.
"It's me." Su Ruoyun spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly, " Yan Yi Bai, are you free today? I want to see you."
There was a moment of silence on the other end before Yan Yi Bai's cold voice came through the phone—
"See me? On what basis?"
His voice was so icy that it felt like a blade scraping against Su Ruoyun's heart.
She fought back the urge to cry and continued pleading gently: "Because I want to see you… Yan Yi Bai, just this once, please let me see you? Consider it a favor…"
Whether they were together or after their breakup, she had never asked Yan Yi Bai for anything. This was her first time asking him.
Such a lowly and humble request.
It was simply because she wanted to see him once before she died.
She had lowered her stance so much, yet the response she received was Yan Yi Bai's even colder voice from the phone—
"Su Ruoyun, but I don't want to see you."
But I don't want to see you.
These simple six words dripped with deep disdain, instantly shattering Su Ruoyun's heart into pieces.
Her body trembled slightly, and the phone in her hand nearly slipped away.
He doesn't want to see her.
Yan Yi Bai is truly honest...
"I understand." Although her fingertips gripping the phone were trembling, Su Ruoyun forced herself to speak calmly, "Then I apologize for bothering you. Please take care of yourself."
A simple sentence, yet it felt as if it drained all her strength. As soon as she finished speaking, Su Ruoyun hurriedly hung up the phone, tears streaming down her face.
In the end...
She still did not get to see him.
But perhaps this is for the best.
The two of them... were destined to miss each other, weren't they?
Suppressing the feeling of her heart bleeding, Su Ruoyun turned to look at her mother in the adjacent hospital bed and reached out to hold her mother's hand.
Her mother was still in a coma, but she softly spoke, "Mom... don't worry, I will definitely save you..."
After saying that, she looked up at Ouyang Su and firmly said, "Dr. Ouyang, let's begin the surgery."
Ouyang Su looked at the girl on the hospital bed with concern and nodded to the Anesthetist beside her, signaling to administer the anesthesia.
As the anesthetic was slowly injected into Su Ruoyun's body, she felt her consciousness gradually fading away.
In the last moment before losing consciousness, she couldn't help but lift her head to glance at the phone inside the sterile bag.
The phone screen was completely black, with no messages or calls.
She couldn't help but pull up a wry smile.
It seemed that Yan Yi Bai really didn't care about her life or death at all...
However...
This might be for the best. If one day he accidentally found out about her death, he probably wouldn't be too sad, right?
In that case, this is really quite good...
As long as he is happy, that's enough...
Su Ruoyun slowly closed her eyes, and her consciousness completely dispersed...
