Chapter 265: Chapter 265

That sentence from Baobao made Ji Rui, a man usually cold and indifferent, have reddened eyes.

Seeing his beloved son reach out to him, he didn’t hesitate, walked over, and let his son embrace his neck.

And he, quite naturally, embraced his beloved son and also Le Tong who was holding the little guy, pulling them both into his arms!

With one big and one small crying bundle in his arms, both of them trembling slightly, Ji Rui’s palms naturally landed on the backs of both, as if such an action was the most ordinary thing for him.

His broad and powerful hands gently patted their backs, soothing these two emotionally charged people.

Ji Rui, who always hated excessive physical contact with others, found himself not minding this close embrace in the slightest; on the contrary, holding Le Tong and his son this way unexpectedly made him feel at peace from the bottom of his heart.

A thought flashed through his mind: It’s really nice to be !

At this moment, Ji Rui even had a fleeting illusion that Le Tong was indeed Baobao’s mother.

And he, Baobao, and Le Tong, made up a complete family of three.

Since Baobao started calling Le Tong "Mommy," the little guy seemed to want to make up for the years he hadn’t used the word "Mommy," repeating it multiple times every time he addressed her.

"Mommy, Mommy, I want to drink borscht tonight, is that okay?"

"Mommy, Mommy, can you tell me the detective story we heard the other night again?"

Le Tong wasn’t upset at all by Baobao’s childish behavior; no matter how busy she was or how unreasonable Baobao’s requests were, Le Tong always responded with a gentle and doting smile and a positive answer.

Ji Rui, watching his beloved son looking much thinner but with a happy smile on the side, felt a pang of heartache but also thought, heaven still had some mercy and kindness towards Baobao.

These past couple of days, Baobao seemed to revert to that chatty jabbering little chatterbox, talking non-stop to Le Tong all day long.

After spending two days , on this noon, after finishing his lunch, Baobao chatted with Le Tong for a while and then fell asleep with drooping eyelids mid-conversation.

Ji Rui was discussing something with a well-known foreign doctor on his computer when Le Tong came over and softly said to him, "Mr. Ji, I want to go home to get something and handle some matters, I’ll probably be back around evening, please explain it to Baobao when he wakes up."

Ever since Le Tong returned from D Province, she hadn’t left the hospital door for nearly a month; anything she needed, she had Luo Yuanyuan bring it to her.

Ji Rui, as a father, was very grateful for her willingness to do so much for Baobao; now that she just wanted to leave for an afternoon, he of course had no reason to stop her nor any concerns.

"Alright, go ahead, I’ll have Xiao Li drive you. I’ll explain it to Baobao when he wakes up."

Le Tong looked troubled and repeatedly shook her head, refusing.

"No, no, I can just take a taxi myself."

Ji Rui had seen Le Tong’s stubbornness too many times, thinking she might have some personal matters she didn’t want Xiao Li to accompany her on, so he let her leave on her own to take a taxi.

Soon after Le Tong left, Ji Rui’s phone rang.

Ji Rui glanced at the incoming call, then looked at Ji Baobao quietly lying asleep on the bed, took the phone, and walked out to the balcony.

"Mr. Ji, could you provide more specific details about that person?"

Ji Rui frowned. He only knew that the other person was healthy, well-educated, and an outstanding student. According to regulations, he wasn’t allowed to know more, nor did he wish to.

"I’ve told you everything I know. Haven’t you made any progress?"

"To be honest, Mr. Ji, I can’t find any relevant information. Firstly, the scope you provided is too broad. Secondly, the company is foreign, and they’ve done a great job keeping things confidential. I’ll try to negotiate more..."

Ji Rui’s brows furrowed tighter; he interrupted impatiently, "No need, I’ll investigate myself."

Originally, Ji Rui didn’t want to disturb that person, but now it seemed, without her, it was indeed very hard to obtain the information he needed.

"Mr. Ji, if it’s not too urgent, I still have confidence..."

"It is urgent, very urgent! Forget it, act as if you didn’t hear about this!"

His treasured son’s life was waiting to be saved, how could he not be anxious?

Even though finding that person didn’t guarantee Baobao could be saved, at least there was a newfound bit of hope!

Ji Rui hurriedly ended the call, lost in thought staring into the void afar, before he picked up the phone and dialed a sequence of numbers.

"CoCo, it’s me." For more chapters visit novｅlfire.net

To be honest, if it wasn’t absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t have willingly made this call.

"Oh! Rui! Have you finally thought of me? Are you coming to see me, or do you want me to fly over to be with you..."

A woman’s enthusiastic words came through the receiver.

"CoCo, I need your help with something." Ji Rui pinched his brow, interrupting her words.

"Rui, your matters are my matters, why are you being so polite?"

The woman remained enthusiastic, her tone resembling a lover’s lament.

"CoCo, Baobao is sick, it’s leukemia. No hospital in the country, including myself, can find a matching marrow, so I want to..."

Ji Rui didn’t finish his sentence, as he knew she would understand.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, "Rui, such deals are usually underground transactions, so they’re always extremely cautious, even I know no more than you do. Give me some time to try, but I can’t guarantee anything. Send me Baobao’s detailed medical records, I’ll also see if I can find a suitable marrow through other channels, okay?"

Having reached this point, seeing Baobao growing thinner by the day, Ji Rui knew he was out of options.

No matter who or what form, if it could save Baobao, he would try.

"Okay, I’ll send it to you right now."

Ji Rui then sent Baobao’s latest medical records to CoCo’s email, and over there, Baobao, who hadn’t slept for long, had already woken up.

The little guy propped himself up, rubbing his sleepy eyes with the back of his hand, and looked around. Ji Rui knew he was looking for Le Tong.

"Baobao, you’re awake?"

Ji Rui closed the laptop, walked over, and tilted his head to carefully tidy his clothes and button up the buttons.

The hospital clothes hung loosely on the little guy, becoming baggier by the day, even someone like Ji Rui, who prided himself on being a strong man, found it hard to bear seeing those gruesome protruding bones under his clothes.
