After dinner, Youyou and Little Yichen helped Yun Shishi to do some shopping. Mu Yazhe and Hua Jin walked into the back garden, one behind the other. After a long period of silence, Mu Yazhe suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around. He trained his piercing gaze onto the other man and asked suspiciously, "The cornea donor that you mentioned earlier, could it be Gu Xingze?"

Hua Jin looked at him in surprise. "You know about it?"

"Yes, I know." Mu Yazhe nodded. "Qin Zhou discussed this with me."

Back then, when Qin Zhou was packing up Gu Xingze's belongings, he found a few of his application forms.

They had something to do with organ donation.

Qin Zhou was taken by surprise. He did not know when Gu Xingze had signed the donor form. Other than the liver and kidneys, it included a pair of corneas.

Gu Xingze's corneas.

Qin Zhou could not bear to think that Gu Xingze wasn't leaving this world in one piece. To think that after his death, he had still to be subjected to the cold surgical equipment tearing through his body.

Hence, he had initially planned to burn these forms.

However, at the end of the day, he thought of Yun Shishi.

If Gu Xingze's organs could save the lives of others, then why not let him live on in this world through this special way?

Even if he were to leave this world with his organs intact, they would only be burned to ashes!

But if other patients could be given a new lease of life because of his donated organs, on the other hand, it was like a sort of rebirth for Gu Xingze.

Hence, he brought the documents to the hospital.

Very quickly, the hospital dissected his body, removed his organs that were to be donated, and finally, carefully removed his corneas.

Qin Zhou contacted Mu Yazhe and made a suggestion.

"Xingze made a few pledges to donate his organs before he died. Among them, there's a pair of corneas. However, time is of the essence. Unless Shishi undergoes surgery as soon as possible, I'm afraid there's no hope."

A cornea transplant was not a simple procedure.

The reason why donors are hard to find, is because people have certain preconceptions. Most people are conservative when it comes to death. In addition, pledges need to be filled out when the donors are alive. And this, to most people, is a taboo.

Furthermore, there are more and more people with eye disease, hence there is a severe shortage of cornea.

The reason why it's purely a matter of chance, is because cornea transplant is a matter of great urgency.

Generally speaking, the cornea has to be stored in the preservation fluid within 48 hours of being removed from the donor, and the surgery has to be carried out as soon as possible.

Other than some big cities, there are hardly any cornea banks in the small cities.

Therefore, once a cornea donor has been identified, surgery would have to take place almost immediately. Otherwise, the success rate of the surgery would fall.

Qin Zhou had hoped that he could make use of Xingze's cornea to restore Yun Shishi's vision.

"I think Xingze would be very willing to use his cornea to exchange for Shishi's sight! In a way he could also continue to see this world through Shishi," Qin Zhou said.

Mu Yazhe frowned. Eight hours had passed since the cornea was removed.

In other words, the surgery had to be commenced quickly.

But…

"We can only postpone the cornea transplant for now." He stuck to the decision.
