Outside the cold operating room,the red light was on.
Ethan sat on the chair,his heart in a turmoil.
Just now,he had received a call from the hospital.
His mother was suffering from heart failure and was undergoing emergency treatment.
The doctor said that after waiting for so long,they had finally found a heart source,but the surgery fee was three hundred thousand dollars.
He tried his best to raise the money,but before he could raise enough,his mother had another relapse.The doctor also said that if they gave up the surgery this time,there would be no hope of saving her.
His father had passed away when he was young,and he and his mother had depended on each other.He couldn't imagine how he would live without his mother.
But he was still a student.Where could he find three hundred thousand dollars?
I hid at the door and watched Ethan,who looked desperate.
I had just heard what the doctor said to him.So he needed three hundred thousand dollars for his mother's surgery now?
Without thinking twice,I ran up to the doctor and paid the three hundred thousand dollars for the life-saving operation on his behalf.
When the doctor went up to Ethan and told him that a kind-hearted person had paid the surgery fee for him,I saw the usually cold and aloof Ethan crying uncontrollably at that moment.
Three hundred thousand dollars was just a number representing my pocket money,but it had saved Ethan's mother's life.
For the first time,I felt that money was really a good thing.
A week later,I saw Ethan at school again.
I ran up to him with a big smile,"Ethan Johnson,is your mother feeling better?"
He was taken aback when he saw me.I thought he would ignore me as usual,but to my surprise,he nodded.
"Much better.Thank you."
Ah,he looked so handsome when he wasn't frowning!
I wasn't sure if it was my imagination,but I always felt that Ethan had become much gentler to me after that.
However,he was still very busy.He had to study for exams,prepare for business financing,and go to the hospital to take care of his mother.But every time I went to see him,he would always spare some time to chat with me patiently.
Sometimes,when I picked him up late after class,he would say with a cold face,"It's so late.Don't come here in the future."But then he would still chat with me as we walked along.He would also occasionally respond to my words and chat with me for a while.Sometimes,in the moment of eye contact,I could feel a hint of ambiguity,but the next second,he would return to his normal expression.It made me so nervous that I didn't dare to think too much.
On Qixi Festival,he went to the hospital to take care of his mother.
My roommates all went out on dates,leaving me alone in the dormitory.
Just when I was feeling bored,I received a message from Ethan:"Come downstairs."
I ran downstairs without any backbone.He was leaning against the railing,waiting for me.
I couldn't see his expression clearly in the dark night,but I always felt that he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Why are you here?"
"To see you."
Boom!I felt my face burning.
Gathering my courage,I asked the question that had been on my mind,"You came to see me on Qixi Festival.What's your identity?My boyfriend?"
I was too shy to look at him and just stared at my shoes after I finished speaking.
Unexpectedly,the next second,he let out a soft laugh.
"Yes."
"Ah?Ah??"
"What's wrong?Are you dumb,my girlfriend?"
Just like that,I somehow managed to chase him and become his girlfriend.
