Xunmi was silent. The original owner of the body was unwilling to tell them. She also didn't want the obedient and cute child in her memory who never cried out in pain during chemotherapy to be the target of public opinion.
"If you don't tell me, I won't give you the money. I'll also ask Qiqi and Yanqin not to lend it to you."
Kang Ning probably saw that Xunmi wasn't prepared to answer. He didn't even want to talk about it.
This wasn't the first time this happened. He had to figure it out today.
"Xunmi, we haven't been together for one or two years. It's been more than three years. What can't you tell Brother Kang?"
"I've always treated you as my younger sister. When has Brother Kang ever harmed you?"
He softened his tone. He really treated her as his younger sister. Naturally, he hoped that his younger sister could be better.
Xunmi pursed her red lips. She seemed to be struggling. She was also struggling in her heart.
She had just come to this world and wasn't very familiar with it. The doctor had to pay the money before getting off work.
She closed her eyes and made a decision.
"Brother Kang, let's go to the National Hospital." She couldn't hide it from the other party.
She sighed in her heart. She was still too weak. She couldn't meet her needs for the time being by relying on acting to earn money.
Kang Ning was a little puzzled. Why did they have to go to the hospital? But he still started the car again and headed to the National Hospital.
This was a Class Three First Class Hospital. There were all kinds of medical equipment and the doctors were the best in Bin City.
Xunmi put on her hat and mask and walked in with Kang Ning.
Standing in the corridor on the 32nd floor, she took a deep breath and walked with heavy steps.
She was actually a little scared. She was afraid that the sensitive and strong little guy would find out that she wasn't the original owner.
Kang Ning's heart sank as they got closer. He clearly saw the sign on this floor — leukemia.
The two stopped at the door of the room at the end of the corridor. Looking through the window, they saw a thin and small little boy who was smiling brightly and talking to the nurse.
From the outline of his facial features, he was somewhat similar to the person in front of him. Kang Ning had a guess in his heart.
Xunmi leaned against the wall and looked at the person inside. Her voice was very soft. "He's my younger brother. He's 17 years old."
Kang Ning was a little surprised. The child who looked 12 or 13 years old at most was 17 years old?
"Brother Kang, don't doubt it. Xiao An is 17 this year. He was hospitalized when he was 12 years old."
"From a small clinic to an informal private hospital, and then here, it took five whole years."
"I'm a useless older sister. I can't even afford to pay for An's chemotherapy this time."
Tears flowed out of her eyes, but she didn't make a sound. The original owner's emotions completely exploded at this moment.
Choking with sobs, she briefly recounted the events of the past few years. She wiped away the tears on her face and smiled. Her smile was as bright as the little boy's, but Kang Ning's heart ached for her.
Not far away, a gentle and noble madam dressed in a cheongsam walked out. Coincidentally, she also heard the conversation and stopped in her tracks.
"Brother Kang, I didn't tell you or anyone else for the past few years. I'm not trying to be brave."
"Xiao An is still young, and I work in such a messy place like the entertainment industry. If Xiao An is exposed, he won't be able to have such peace."
"I only have Xiao An, and he only has me." She raised her head and forced back the tears that were about to fall.
"My condition was getting better some time ago, but after I took a walk in the hospital garden, I started to bleed from my nose and mouth."
"The doctor said that it was very serious this time. Even after chemotherapy, it might not be of much help. But without chemotherapy … without chemotherapy …"
"My bone marrow is not good enough. If I'm not useless, Xiao An wouldn't be here alone."
After suppressing her emotions for a long time, Xunmi's heart calmed down after the original owner's emotions came out.
"So this time, you're unusually against Mei Ying and don't like her. It's not only because she brought money into the cast and took away your role as the first female lead, but also because the first female lead can get 120,000 yuan. You urgently need 100,000 yuan for your brother's chemotherapy?"
Kang Ning really didn't know what to say. This silly girl was only 12 years old. How old was she at that time?
"No wonder I was wondering where all the money you've earned these years went. I didn't see you buy luxury goods or a house. You're always short of money."
"You take jobs desperately and don't even care about your own health."
"Your brother should be proud to have you as his older sister."
She took out a card from her bag and handed it to Xunmi. "As your agent, I only know now that I'm really incompetent."
"Here's 100,000 yuan. Take it and use it first. I'll try to get more resources from the company."
"Xunmi, you're really great. I feel very lucky to be your agent."
Kang Ning patted her shoulder and almost shed tears.
Such a thin shoulder was actually shouldering such a huge responsibility.
Xunmi didn't refuse. She did need money and start-up capital.
"Kang, please keep it a secret for me. Don't let anyone else know. I don't need your sympathy, and I don't want Xiao An to live in a bad light."
Holding the card, Xunmi, please give me some time. Don't worry. Xiao An is my brother now. I'll definitely cure him.
Kang Ning, who was about to ask his close friends to take care of her, sighed. "You … If it were someone else, they would definitely want to tell everyone about it."
"Not only will you become popular, but you'll also solve the money problem easily."
Xunmi's lips curved slightly. She looked at the person inside and said gently, "Everyone has different thoughts. What I want is very simple. I want to protect him for the rest of his life."
She sniffed. "Kang, I'll go and pay the money first. Wait here. If Xiao An sees such a handsome big brother coming to see him, he'll definitely be very happy."
As soon as she turned around, the door was opened. The nurse who played with the child previously walked out.
"Ah, Xunmi, you're here. Xiao An is watching your TV show. He even bragged to me about how outstanding his sister is."
"Go in quickly. Don't waste time. You're also very busy."
The young nurse, Li Muqi, was also familiar with Xunmi. She was the one who took care of Xiao An since he lived here.
"Qiqi, thank you for accompanying Xiao An. Is Dr. Zhang here? I'll go and find him first."
"Yes, he's been waiting for you. Let's go together. I'll go and get the medicine for Xiao An." Li Muqi nodded and held Xunmi's hand intimately.
Kang Ning looked at the child who stuck his head out of the room and looked outside. He was filled with emotions.
"Xiao An, right? I'm your sister's manager. Your sister went to find the doctor. She'll be here later."
She took the initiative to walk in and lowered her voice, afraid that she would scare the child.
The child was really small. His bones were small, and his face was small. But his peach blossom eyes, which were like Xunmi's, were especially bright and clean.
"Why is Sister here again? She's so busy, but she still has to come and see me. How tired is she?"
When the child heard that his sister was here, his eyes obviously lit up. But then, he seemed to have thought of something and became depressed again.
Outside the window, the madam's eyes flashed with a light that only she understood. She left quietly.
