That night, Lu Qingqing came to visit Rocky with a lot of gifts.
When the door opened, Lu Qingqing was startled.
Rocky has become so thin that only his skeleton is left. His eye sockets are sunken and he has a stubble all over the place, which makes people feel very worried.
"When did you come back?" Rocky looked a little flustered when he saw Lu Qingqing.
"It's been more than a week." Lu Qingqing walked into the living room, and suddenly a strong smell of alcohol hit her face.
"You are so sick, why are you still drinking?" Before Lu Qingqing could finish her words, she almost tripped over the wine bottles on the floor.
"Whether you drink or not, nothing will change. I just want to indulge myself in my last days." Rocky leaned on the corner of the sofa, looking as if he was hopeless.
Lu Qingqing sighed.
"Rocky, is there really nothing in this world worthy of your nostalgia?"
Hearing this, Rocky smiled to himself.
"I have been lonely and helpless since I was born. Who cares about my life or death?"
"Aren't you going to live if no one cares about you?" Lu Qingqing sadly grabbed Luo Qi's collar and pulled him up from the sofa.
He weighs less than 100 kilograms now, which is so light that it makes people feel distressed.
"It's not that I don't want to work. The doctors said I can't live. What do you want me to do?" Rocky's tears flowed down his cheeks.
In the face of death, who can not be afraid?
Moreover, Rocky is not yet thirty years old, and he is in his prime years, so how can he be willing to do so?
But in the face of disease, people's power is always so small, just like Lu Qingqing's grandmother, Sheng Mingxi's grandfather, and her twin sister Huo Shasha.
"Rocky, you can't give up until the last moment. You still have an unfulfilled mission in this world, do you know that?"
"The mission has not been completed? What mission can I, a dying person, have?"
"You and Julia have a son, who is seven years old."
Hearing this, Luo Qi felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked at Lu Qingqing blankly, trying to find any trace of joking in her expression.
"It's true, I didn't lie to you. The child is currently in a child welfare agency in New York, and I am in the process of entrusting someone to go through the adoption procedures."
After Lu Qingqing learned the news from Yue Hang, he asked Lu Haizhou to go to the child welfare agency in New York to find Rocky's son.
Although this organization is funded by Yue Hang, the actual manager of the organization is someone hired by the government. Therefore, if Lu Qingqing wants to adopt the child, he still needs to complete the necessary legal procedures.
But because she has a background in the Huo family and the help of her second brother Huo Chengyi, this matter is progressing smoothly.
Rocky's lips kept trembling, but he couldn't say a word.
After waiting for a long time, he asked in a trembling voice: "Are there any photos of the children?"
Lu Qingqing remembered that Lu Haizhou had sent her a photo of her child, and quickly opened her phone and found the photo.
The moment he saw his son's photo, Rocky was so excited that he couldn't stop crying.
Those eyebrows, that expression were really similar to his own, Luo Qi was wiping tears while looking at them.
"I have a son, brat, he has the same virtues as you!" Rocky would cry sometimes and laugh sometimes.
He didn't know whether he should cry or laugh when such a son suddenly appeared while he was dying.
Is this God playing tricks on him?
He was about to die when he was told that he still had a son in this world. What should he do?
"Qingqing, what's my son's name?"
"Xiqiao."
Rocky covered his mouth, not wanting to cry. When he thought that he was about to leave this world, he couldn't even look at his son.
"Rocky, now there is one more person who cares about you, you must cheer up."
"I don't want to die either, but who can save me?" Rocky couldn't suppress the great grief in his heart and burst into tears.
Lu Qingqing thought of the anti-cancer treatment arranged by Sheng Mingxi for her grandmother, and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited.
She told Rocky about this idea, expecting him to think about it, but unexpectedly he agreed without even thinking about it.
"Are you really willing? This method has not yet been clinically promoted, so it still has certain risks."
"That's better than waiting to die." For the sake of his son, Rocky was willing to take a gamble.
Seeing how determined he was, Lu Qingqing immediately called Sheng Mingxi. He told him about Rocky's situation and said that he wanted to try Grandma Lu's treatment plan.
Sheng Mingxi was silent for a moment.
Lu Qingqing thought he was in trouble, so he just wanted to say no and let it go.
Sheng Mingxi said that he would give him three days to prepare. This time he would send Rocky to the United States for surgery because the equipment there was more complete and the preparation of medicines was more convenient.
He was worried that an accident like Grandma Lu's would happen again.
After putting down the phone, Lu Qingqing saw Luo Qi looking at her nervously and quickly told him Sheng Mingxi's arrangement.
When he heard that he could go to the United States for surgery, Rocky was as happy as a child. Even if the surgery was unsuccessful, he would be able to see his son before he died, and he would have no regrets in his life.
"But what about the expenses?" Rocky's eyes that had just lit up dimmed again, "My pockets are so empty now that I can't even pay the rent."
"I'll pay the cost." Lu Qingqing said, "Just prepare for the surgery with peace of mind."
Rocky was moved to tears again.
"Okay, I haven't seen you for a few days, how come you have become Sister Lin?" Lu Qingqing teased.
Rocky burst into tears and smiled, "I just don't know how to thank you."
"You are Shasha's friend. I think if she is still alive, she would also want me to do the same. I can't save her, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up on you."
"Thank you." Rocky was so moved that his eyes turned red. "It's really the luckiest thing in my life that I can meet you sisters."
Returning to the hospital from Luo Qi's house, Lu Qingqing found that Sheng Mingxi was not in the ward and did not answer his calls.
After a while, Lu Qingqing received a message from Sheng Mingxi, asking her to go back to the courtyard tonight, saying that Cheng Xueshan was in a bad mood these days and asked her to chat with her.
Lu Qingqing asked where Sheng Mingxi was, but there was no movement again.
What are you doing? It's mysterious.
Returning to the courtyard again, Lu Qingqing felt as if she had been separated from another world.
She pushed the door open and entered the courtyard, only to see Sheng Meilan standing at the door of her bedroom, shouting loudly into the room.
"Cheng Xueshan, I won't care about your affairs anymore. Even if you marry a beggar, I won't care. I'm so angry!"
Sheng Meilan looked up and saw Lu Qingqing.
"Why are you back?"
"I'll come back to see Xueshan." Lu Qingqing said.
"What do you think she's doing? Don't you think you've harmed her enough?" Sheng Meilan became furious when she saw Lu Qingqing.
"How did I hurt her?" Lu Qingqing was confused.
"Why are you pretending to be stupid? Didn't you introduce her to Luo Qi? Now she has turned down her marriage to Mo Yuchuan because of that sick man. I haven't settled this debt with you yet."
"Mom, the matter between Rocky and me has nothing to do with my sister-in-law. Don't make false accusations against a good person." Cheng Xueshan said as she walked out of the room with red eyes.
