Chapter 459: The Past Back Then

“Tong Hua was also just born when he had a heart attack. Newborns with mature hearts could not have heart transplants. That day, it was only our child who was dead. At that time, Tong Hua’s condition was critical. They then begged me to donate his organ since only the heart from a newborn could save Tong Hua. I had seen Tong Hua back then: he was very small and weak when he was born. I could not bear to let anyone be like me and go through the pain of losing a child. Hence, I agreed to it. At that time, I heard the doctors discussing that this method would not work at all and that Tong Hua could not be saved, but in the end, who would have known that Tong Hua was so lucky and really survived. Back then, it had also created a big sensation. The case of a successful newborn heart transplant was just this one case in so many years.”
Shen Qianshu smiled slightly. “I had always been in contact with Doctor Yang. After I went to Paris to study, Doctor Yang would video call me almost every week. I was considered to have taken part in Tong Hua’s growth. Doctor Yang was a Good Samaritan. Perhaps, she knew that I would feel upset as I had lost my son. She also wished that I could treat Tong Hua as my son. However, Tong Hua’s health was all along not good; otherwise, she would have thought of bringing Tong Hua to Paris to look for me. Subsequently, something happened to them, and before they died, they left Tong Hua in my care. Tong Hua’s father and mother were very good, very good people. Both husband and wife were very kind people.”
“Tong Hua’s father was the attending doctor?”
“Yes, Doctor Yang was a surgeon, and Doctor Shen was a gynecologist. After I came back to the country, I had always seen him at his clinic. He was also in charge of my delivery,” Shen Qianshu said. “He was a good person. He knew that I was financially tight and wouldn’t let me spend money unless it was necessary.”
Ye Ling fell into deep thought. Tong Hua’s heart disease might not be inborn. Instead, it might be triggered by bacteria after he was born. Who could a newborn offend? Hearing Shen Qianshu’s description, this pair of husband and wife should be kind-hearted commoners. Who could they offend? The child had almost suffered in the hands of someone who had schemed. In less than two years, both husband and wife met with an accident and died. This is just too coincidental. Who could both husband and wife have grudges with?
“Back then when you had custody of the child, did anything unusual happen?”
Shen Qianshu thought for a while and shook her head. “Doctor Yang had a sister who was studying at that time. She did not fight for custody of the child, and gaining custody of the child was very smooth for me. After that, I had taken Tong Hua to Paris.”
Shen Qianshu asked, “Why would there be something unusual? What are you suspecting?”
“You have forgotten. Tong Hua’s heart disease is not inborn,” Ye Ling said calmly. “Upon returning, I will get Zhong Ran to check on the interpersonal relationships of Tong Hua’s parents.”
Shen Qianshu nodded her head. It would be good to check. If it is true that they had offended someone, the car accident might not be an accident. If that is really the case, then it is really too scary.
Shen Qianshu was feeling quite complicated in her heart. This matter had been hidden in the bottom of her heart for many years. After she had talked about it, she felt a little better. She had treated Tong Hua as her own biological child and had never been bothered that they had no blood relations between them. Both of them depended on each other and grew up together. She would not allow anyone to have any evil scheme against Tong Hua. In the past, she did not have the ability to check on anything. Now that there was a strong pillar of support close by, she naturally wanted to check.
Little Tong Hua, who was drenched in sweat, came running over. He was originally wearing a windbreaker. Now that it was too hot, he was dressed in short sleeves and shorts. It was particularly cooling. Shen Qianshu stared until her eyes became round. “Put on your clothes! You might get sick again!”
“It’s too hot. I am not cold at all.” The temperature in the room was 27 degrees, and it was rather warm. Little Tong Hua threw the basketball to one side and took a towel to wipe his sweat. Ye Ling looked at him without shifting his gaze, and he felt scared within.

Ye Ling: Looking at this little fellow is kind of irritating.
Tong Hua: It’s just that I am so handsome that you are jealous!
