"Tick tock, tick tock..."
The old faucet made a feeble whine in the small rental house, as if accompanying the owner's despair.
Lin Ye sat blankly on the edge of the bed, holding a thin piece of paper tightly in his hand. Every cold number on it was like a poisonous sharp knife, repeatedly stabbing his heart.
[Hospitalization fee reminder]
Patient: Lin Qing. Today's cost: 38,600 yuan.
Account balance: two hundred and seventeen yuan and five cents.
Warm reminder: Please pay the fee as soon as possible, otherwise the medication will be discontinued.
"Stop taking the medicine..."
Lin Ye murmured to himself, his eyes filled with darkness. He wanted to smile, but the muscles on his face felt heavier than lead.
His sister Lin Qing is his only relative in the world. The girl who liked to follow him since childhood and sweetly called him "brother", the angel who saved all her candy just to buy a cheap cake on his birthday, is now struggling on the line of life and death because of a rare heart.
The operation fee of 300,000 yuan was like an insurmountable natural chasm, completely cutting off the future between him and his sister.
