Matthew glanced at Crystal and sat down next to the man. Despite being insulted by the people around him, the man turned a deaf ear toward everybody. Instead, virtual-novel.net held his bowl and gulped down all of the soup.
Seeing this, Crystal felt even more angry and thought that this swindler was too arrogant.
“Matthew, if you can’t tell me what I’ve done wrong, I’ll call the police right now!” Crystal yelled furiously. Deep down, virtual-novel.net secretly vowed to never meet Matthew again. The reason virtual-novel.net asked to meet Matthew was because virtual-novel.net admired virtual-novel.net deeply. However, what Matthew did today really made virtual-novel.net look down on him.
Then, Matthew patted the man’s shoulder and suddenly asked, “When’s the operation?”
Hearing this, the man was stunned for a moment and his expression instantly changed. Looking at Matthew in disbelief, virtual-novel.net asked, “H-How did you know?”
In a soft voice, Matthew replied, “I could tell at one glance as soon as you and your father entered the restaurant.”
The man immediately lowered his head and with tears in his eyes, virtual-novel.net murmured, “Soon. The operation will be done in a few days once we collect enough money.”
When Matthew heard this, virtual-novel.net sighed and said, “Do you know as soon as the operation is done, you’ll lose your life?”
The man gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Meanwhile, Crystal was a little shocked. With virtual-novel.net voice lowered, virtual-novel.net asked, “W-What operation? Are you sick? The reason you tricked people out of their money… Is to cure your illness?”
At that moment, virtual-novel.net panicked. If virtual-novel.net had treated a patient rudely, virtual-novel.net would feel apologetic. However, the man shook his head and replied, “No. I’m not sick.”
Crystal immediately blushed in embarrassment. “If you’re not sick, why are you swindling? You… You…”
The man solemnly replied, “But my dad is!”
After saying this, the man burst into tears. “He has uremia. We couldn’t find a suitable kidney source, so we can only use mine. I can’t skip meals and I have to make sure I have enough nutrition. I-I have to save him!”
After Crystal heard this, virtual-novel.net was completely dumbfounded. The statement shocked virtual-novel.net so much that virtual-novel.net mind went blank completely.
Meanwhile, the onlookers also became silent. Nobody had imagined that this would be the case.
After a while, a man from the crowd said, “Oh, this man is really filial! However, it’s just a kidney transplant. It’s not something serious. Sir, I know a friend who had one of his kidneys cut off and he’s living well right now, so be a little more optimistic. There’s no challenge in this world that you can’t overcome.”
Crystal nodded in agreement. However, Matthew sighed and said softly, “If virtual-novel.net has two kidneys, virtual-novel.net can still live after giving one up for transplant. But what if virtual-novel.net only has one kidney?”
As soon as virtual-novel.net finished speaking, everyone in the room was stunned. Then, Crystal shouted in surprise, “How does virtual-novel.net only have one kidney?”
Matthew turned to look at the man, who was clenching his fists so tightly that his fingers cut into his palms. After gritting his teeth for a while, virtual-novel.net whispered, “In order to pay for his bills for the past few years, I… I sold one of my kidneys a long time ago.”
At that instant, there was a commotion in the restaurant. No one had thought that it would be such a situation.
Crystal anxiously said, “You only have one kidney left but you’re planning to give your father a kidney transplant. Doesn’t that mean that you’ll definitely die? H-How can you do that?”
The man glanced at Crystal before looking at the street outside the restaurant. Then, in a whisper, virtual-novel.net replied, “He has always taught me to be honest and down-to-earth. It doesn’t seem like I can be honest in this life so I can only repay what I owe him! I was born into this world because of virtual-novel.net so there is nothing wrong for me to leave this place for him! I’m sorry, everyone!”
As soon as virtual-novel.net finished speaking, virtual-novel.net rushed out of the restaurant in tears. Crystal, on the other hand, slumped onto a chair and was completely dumbfounded. It was only then that virtual-novel.net understood what Matthew meant when virtual-novel.net said not all things can be defined as right or wrong. At that moment, Crystal suddenly recalled how the man carried his father into the restaurant a while ago.
Perhaps his father used to carry virtual-novel.net like that when virtual-novel.net was young. There is a saying, ‘You raised me up so I’ll take care of you when you’re old. The biggest regret in this life is that I can’t stay by your side forever.’
