Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration) Chapter 3 : . A Romance The Kidney-Stealing Kind (3)
"I told you there's nothing wrong. Miss Yin, you're just being overly concerned."
Shen Wan glanced at the dical report, which showed everything was normal. She had only taken the cancer cells yesterday; they had barely taken root in her body and couldn't be detected yet. If cancer cells were that easy to find, many people wouldn't be diagnosed at such late stages.
"Your complexion really doesn't look good," Yin ichang said, her worry subsiding. She found it amusing that she was concerned about this foolish girl's health. "Co on, let's get breakfast."
Shen Wan certainly wouldn't refuse. She secretly explained to 188, "She accompanied for the check-up, so I should join her for breakfast, right? It's only fair."
What nonsense about being fair.
[188: "Wan Wan, be careful. I'm monitoring the alarm. If it goes off, I'll imdiately stop any rule-breaking behavior."]
"188, you're the best!"
[188: "Get lost! Don't try to butter up. That doesn't work on —I'm not Yin ichang."]
Yin ichang was undoubtedly a busy person; spending two hours away was already quite remarkable. After breakfast, she bid farewell and left.
Before leaving, she called out to Shen Wan, who was still nibbling on a bun. "Shen Wan." Shen Wan quickly swallowed her mouthful before responding, "Yes, Miss Yin?"
"Huo Han isn't right for you," Yin ichang said, recalling Huo Han's concern for Huo Ting and feeling irritated again. "I'll say it once more: he doesn't love you. I don't know what his motives are, but since we're acquainted, I'll kindly advise you to leave him sooner rather than later."
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Yin," Shen Wan replied with a bright smile and an innocent expression. "Huo Han and I will be just fine. He treats well. His neglect is only because Huo Ting is ill and might die." She added with a hint of regret, "It's all my fault, really. How unfortunate that I only have one kidney. Even though we're a match, I can't donate to Huo Ting."
Yin ichang's eyes narrowed sharply. Only one kidney? A match? Suddenly, it all made sense. Huo Han was with Shen Wan despite not loving her... for Huo Ting's sake?
188: "......" Was this intentional or an accidental slip?
"I should go now."
"Take care, Miss Yin. You look lovely when you smile. Whatever's troubling you, don't keep it bottled up. Smile, and the anger will fade away."
As Yin ichang opened her car door, Shen Wan's light, pleasant voice floated from behind, filled with admiration. It improved her mood, and a faint smile unconsciously touched her lips. But rembering Huo Han's ulterior motives towards the foolish girl, her happiness dissipated.
Shen Wan returned to the hospital to find Huo Han sitting by the bed, comforting Huo Ting. Their intimacy was obvious even to a fool. Yet she pretended not to notice, greeting them both with a smile.
Huo Ting's expression visibly changed. In her heart, Huo Han belonged to her alone. Ever since Shen Wan's appearance, she felt as if Huo Han might be stolen away. Indeed, Shen Wan had beco Huo Han's girlfriend. Even if it was for her sake, she didn't want to see Shen Wan. She didn't want to die—if she did, wouldn't she be leaving her brother alone in the world? He might truly fall for Shen Wan then.
So, she couldn't die. She had to cooperate with her brother's treatnt.
Her brother had already found a matching kidney for her; they didn't need Shen Wan anymore. Seeing Shen Wan enter, Huo Ting, her face pale, threw herself into Huo Han's arms, acting as if she were in great pain. When Huo Han tried to speak to Shen Wan, she would cry, claiming discomfort. Huo Han beca flustered, hurriedly calling for a doctor and asking her what was wrong.
"Brother, every part of my body hurts," Huo Ting clung to Huo Han's waist. "Don't worry, brother. Just hold , and the pain will go away."
Hearing this, Shen Wan was inwardly amused. Was the male lead's embrace so powerful? It could even relieve pain!
"Ting Ting, should we ask the doctor for so painkillers?" Shen Wan asked with concern. "One injection should stop the pain. If not, we can try two. That should definitely work."
188: "......"
Huo Ting was stunned, but Huo Han nodded. "Ting Ting, let have the doctor examine you."
"No, brother. I don't want any injections," Huo Ting pouted, still clinging to Huo Han. She whispered, "I just want to be alone with you for a while. I'm so afraid of losing you."
"Then I'll leave," Shen Wan sighed with disappointnt. "You should comfort Ting Ting. The surgery is coming up soon, and if she's upset and crying often, it might affect the outco."
Shen Wan's words frightened Huo Ting, who quickly stifled her sobs.
Rembering that he needed Shen Wan for the surgery, Huo Han told Huo Ting, "Be good, Ting Ting. I'll just see Wan Wan downstairs." Huo Ting protested, but this ti Huo Han was insistent. He didn't want anything to go wrong before the surgery.
"Wan Wan, please don't mind. Ting Ting is just being childish," Huo Han explained gently. "Her illness makes her emotionally unstable. I'm sorry for neglecting you lately."
Shen Wan gazed at Huo Han with a serious expression, her eyes brimming with affection that made him feel guilty and unable to et her gaze.
She spoke softly, "It's alright. I understand. Ting Ting is your sister, and this is her most difficult ti. I'm healthy and not sick—why would I hold anything against her? I hope she recovers soon."
Huo Han was surprised by Shen Wan's understanding. Her eyes were clear and sincere, filled with comprehension and affection. Such pure love made his heart heavy with sha.
"I'll spend so quality ti with you in a few days."
"You should stay with Ting Ting. She needs you now. We'll have plenty of ti together later; this period doesn't matter."
These words weighed heavily on Huo Han. They didn't have ti—only one of Wan Wan or Ting Ting could survive. He recalled how Wan Wan had always been like this from the beginning. Kind, innocent, returning tenfold any kindness shown to her.
"No, I'll make ti for you. It's been too long since I've properly spent ti with you."
Inwardly, Shen Wan scoffed. What did he an by 'properly spent ti'? Wasn't he just constantly thinking about her kidney?
Huo Han insisted on accompanying her, and Shen Wan didn't refuse. The cancer cells in her body would be detectable within a week. Given Huo Han's concern for Huo Ting, he would likely have them both examined before the surgery.
Seeing Shen Wan leave happily, Huo Han felt conflicted. Even when he returned to Huo Ting's room, he was distracted. After all, he had deceived an innocent, kind-hearted girl and was about to take her life.
Huo Ting seed to sense sothing and beca extrely clingy to Huo Han over the next few days. After spending several days with her, Huo Han finally felt reassured enough to make an excuse about work and find ti to see Shen Wan, intending to fulfill her dream of visiting an amusent park.
anwhile, Yin ichang hadn't been idle. After parting with Shen Wan that day, she secretly investigated Huo Han's affairs. All evidence pointed to Huo Han approaching Shen Wan to secure a kidney transplant for Huo Ting. She was furious, but couldn't help but laugh when she learned that Shen Wan only had one kidney. The foolish girl had her own luck, it seed.
"Miss Yin, Huo Han has found a suitable kidney for Huo Ting. The surgery will take place within a month. Huo Han won't have the energy to compete for the upcoming project."
Yin ichang: "I see."
"What has Shen Wan been up to lately?"
"Huo Han has been taking her out. Their relationship seems good. Miss Yin, are you investigating this to use Shen Wan against Huo Han?"
Yin ichang replied irritably, "Nothing of the sort. There are plenty of ways to bring down Huo Corporation without involving innocent people."
She recalled Mrs. Huo's attempt to set her up with Huo Han and found it laughable. She wasn't interested at all—Mrs. Huo clearly saw that the Yin family had only one daughter and wanted to capitalize on that.
Huo Han took Shen Wan for another candlelit dinner. "Wan Wan, I left you abruptly last ti. This ti, I'll make it up to you properly."
"Huo Han, there's really no need."
"There is," Huo Han insisted. Seeing Shen Wan still unaware and looking blissful, he suppressed his guilt. "Wan Wan, I'll have a drink with you tonight to thank you for your understanding." He silently apologized for having to take her life himself.
Huo Han failed to notice Shen Wan's deathly pale face. If her lipstick were removed, her lip color would surely be abnormal.
During the al, Huo Han noticed that Shen Wan, who usually had a good appetite and wasn't picky, barely ate two bites. He didn't pay much attention, focusing on toasting Shen Wan. The wine was drugged; Shen Wan would soon fall asleep.
Sure enough, within ten minutes, Shen Wan was asleep. Huo Han, his heart heavy with conflicting emotions, took her away. Shen Wan, fully conscious, saw Huo Han's pained yet resolute expression and inwardly cursed him as a heartless beast.
"188, there's no way to make this sweet," Shen Wan said glumly. She wondered if Yin ichang had discovered anything, and if so, whether she would co to rescue her.
Huo Han took Shen Wan to a private hospital owned by the Huo Corporation. Perhaps out of guilt, he stayed by her bedside all night.
In the morning, Shen Wan "woke up" to find Huo Han watching her with a complex gaze. Her hands and feet were strapped to the hospital bed.
She looked bewildered, her pale lips trembling as she asked, "Huo Han, what's going on?"
"I'm sorry, Wan Wan." Huo Han couldn't hide the pain on his face as he held Shen Wan's hand. "I can't lose Ting Ting. I'm sorry, but I really can't lose her. Ting Ting ans too much to ."
"So?"
"Ting Ting has a rare blood type. After searching for so long, only you are a match for her."
Shen Wan stared blankly at Huo Han. "Huo Han, I only have one kidney."
"I know. I'm sorry..." Huo Han couldn't think about that now. Any unusual feelings he had for Shen Wan paled in comparison to his concern for Huo Ting.
He watched Shen Wan's expression, waiting for her to cry, scream, or go crazy. Five minutes passed, and Shen Wan remained pale-faced and dazed. He didn't know what to say.
"Huo Han."
"Wan Wan, you can hit or curse at if you want. I'll take care of your mother, and I'll fulfill any wish you have."
Shen Wan gazed at Huo Han with a distant look. "My wish is to live a long life. Can you grant that?"
188: "......"
"I'm sorry, Wan Wan."
"It's alright," Shen Wan said sadly. "What can I do? I love you so much. If this is what you want, then take it."
188: "......"
Huo Han was stunned. What did Shen Wan an? This was what he wanted, so she'd let him take it?
"Back then, you appeared and helped , letting experience what it felt like to be loved and cared for. I can't do anything to help you, so if you want my kidney, take it."
With that, Shen Wan closed her eyes and said no more.
She ignored Huo Han sitting by her bedside, no matter how pained, upset, or conflicted he appeared.
[188: "Wan Wan, isn't this approach a bit problematic? It's not sweet at all."]
"Bitterness before sweetness. Think about it—if I made a fuss, he'd only beco more determined. By saying I'm willing to give him my kidney because I love him, he'll feel guilty and upset. Then, just before the surgery, when I'm diagnosed with a terminal illness... Haha! 188, can you imagine what will happen?"
[188: "He'll probably feel even worse. He won't be able to save Huo Ting, and he can't keep you either."]
"188, your mory is getting worse. Didn't the plot ntion that they found a suitable kidney for Huo Ting after the surgery? So Huo Ting can be saved, and then he'll have to find a way to save ."
[188: "Wan Wan gets diagnosed with a terminal illness and is on the verge of death. He finally realizes his feelings for you, takes care of you every day, and miraculously, you recover. Then you can be lovey-dovey?"]
"Yes, yes, exactly like that."
188 thought to himself that this approach could work. The original was a tragic story, so it couldn't be purely sweet. This level of sweetness should be sufficient.
After that day, Shen Wan stopped talking to Huo Han. Huo Han, however, took ticulous care of her, staying by her side every day and saying kind words.
This continued until Huo Ting was ready, and Shen Wan began her pre-surgery examinations. If all was well, the transplant would take place in two days.
The matter had been kept tightly under wraps. Who would care about an insignificant person like Shen Wan? But Shen Wan had left a deep impression on Yin ichang. After several days without news from Shen Wan, Yin ichang sensed sothing was amiss. She traced Shen Wan to the Huo family's private hospital and imdiately guessed the reason.
As Shen Wan lay strapped to the hospital bed awaiting her test results, Yin ichang burst in with a group of tall, burly bodyguards.
Seeing Shen Wan looking "despondent" and pale, tied to the bed, Yin ichang felt a tightness in her chest. She quickly approached the bed and angrily called out, "Hurry up and help her!"
Yin ichang gently touched Shen Wan's gaunt face, her beautiful eyes lowered, long lashes hiding her emotions.
Shen Wan heard Yin ichang's unusually gentle voice in her ear, "I'm here to take you away." The mont she entered the room, sothing had broken free in her heart. Seeing Shen Wan's pale face, Yin ichang felt what could only be described as heartache. She couldn't deny it—she had fallen for this foolish girl. And having fallen for her, she couldn't possibly let her go. If Huo Han didn't cherish her and hurt her, then she would cherish and protect her. That girl who smiled so happily at her and called her beautiful didn't deserve such cruel treatnt.
"Miss Yin?"
"It's ."
"What are you doing here?"
"Taking you away."
Shen Wan looked pitifully at Yin ichang. "If I leave, what about Huo Ting? Without , Huo Ting will die. If Huo Ting dies, Huo Han will be heartbroken."
"And what about you? You'll lose your life. Do you love Huo Han that much?"
"Yes, I do." Love my foot!
Yin ichang let out a cold laugh. She personally lifted Shen Wan into a wheelchair, not noticing Shen Wan's brief embrace of her slender waist. "What Huo Han is doing is illegal. If you don't want him to go to jail, co with obediently." This foolish girl wouldn't budge without a threat involving Huo Han.
"Miss Yin, please take away," Shen Wan agreed faster than anyone. "Huo Han hasn't done anything to yet, so he can't be charged with a cri."
So, Miss Yin, you'd better work hard to find evidence and try to send Huo Han to prison.
Yin ichang hadn't expected her to agree so readily without even a token resistance. Well, as long as she ca along willingly, that was fine.
As Yin ichang wheeled her out, Shen Wan saw Huo Han, his face bruised and swollen from a beating. She said with apparent reluctance, "Huo Han, I'm leaving with Miss Yin. I can't let her report you and send you to jail. Rember, I truly love you."
Yin ichang gritted her teeth in anger. What was there to love about this scum? Stupid girl!
Huo Han tried to do sothing but was pinned down by Yin ichang's bodyguards, unable to move an inch.
Shen Wan tugged at Yin ichang's wrist. "Miss Yin, for my sake, please don't hit Huo Han anymore."
"Alright, for your sake, I won't hit him anymore," Yin ichang smiled gently. She turned back and gave her bodyguards a look. Don't worry, they won't beat him to death.
"Miss Yin, as long as you don't hurt Huo Han, I'll do whatever you say," Shen Wan said, looking like an obedient child.
Yin ichang's eyes hardened. She gave her bodyguards a strict order to beat him severely. Then she turned back to look at Shen Wan, only to find the corners of her mouth turned up, as if she were smiling.
Yin ichang frowned. What was this foolish girl smiling about?
