"If I'm unwilling, nobody can force me onto the operating table!" Ren Chuqing said with a resolute expression.
Qin Jingzhi's hand on Ren Chuqing's shoulder tightened slightly, but he did not cause her pain; instead, it seemed like he was using all his restraint to contain the panic spreading within him to an extreme.
"I'm begging you, please don't easily say no to the surgery, okay? Once it's done, you can ask anything of me—go to prison, be sentenced, or even kneel and apologize to your precious brother—I'll do it all, I just beg you... to have the surgery!" Qin Jingzhi pleaded with a distraught face.
Ren Chuqing slowly lifted her hand and cupped the face before her.
She had never imagined that, in her final moments, the person among her three brothers who most wanted her to survive would be Jingzhi.
