Shu Yu's figure looked particularly desolate among the white walls of the hospital.

She sat on a bench in the corridor, holding her eldest son Zhao Wen in her arms. He was only six years old, with an IV tube hanging on his arm. He lay obediently in his mother's arms. His little face was pale and his lips were slightly purple. He looked at his mother with innocent eyes, as if looking for a little comfort.

Shu Yu held her daughter's hand tightly. Her little daughter, who was only four years old, leaned against her with one arm hanging on a neck strap. Tears welled up in her eyes from time to time, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

The hustle and bustle of the hospital was in stark contrast to them, as if the whole world was turning in a hurry and only they were trapped in this still sadness.

Shu Yu's heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, and every heartbeat was a cruel reminder of reality.

Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to those beautiful days, when they were still a home full of laughter, her husband's smile was still so warm, and her children's laughter was still so innocent.

However, reality is like a cold mirror, ruthlessly reflecting the truth of life.

Shu Yu seemed to be standing in that familiar rental house again. The paint on the walls had begun to peel off, and every corner that came into view was filled with the hardships of life.

Her heart was filled with confusion and pain. The husband who had once walked through thick and thin with her had now turned into a cold-blooded stranger.

There was no longer the warmth of the past in his eyes, only the desire for money and new feelings.

The mother-in-law's plot succeeded, and her cunning eyes seemed to have seen the dawn of victory. Her son, Shu Yu's husband, had been influenced by her words, and he only wanted to get rid of the current burden of the family, remarry a wife and have a healthy son.

Their marriage was originally built on mutual support, but now it has become so fragile and vulnerable because of their son's illness.

After a heated argument, Shu Yu felt as if all her strength had been drained away. Her husband, the man who had once vowed to protect her all her life, was now using their child as a weapon to threaten her.

His demands were simple but cruel - divorce and half of the savings.

Under such pressure, Shu Yu could only compromise.

Her heart was torn, but she couldn't let her children suffer, so she agreed to the divorce.

In the end, she only got 5 yuan, a sum that seemed so insignificant in the face of the cruel reality.

The moment of signing, Shu Yu's heart sank to the bottom.

She watched her husband and mother-in-law leave triumphantly with the money, and no one knew the pain in her heart.

She knew that from now on, she would face the indifference of the world alone and bear the responsibility of taking care of two children alone.

As night falls, the hospital, which is usually bustling with people, becomes quiet.

The corridor was dimly lit and empty, and a cool breeze was blowing, just like Shu Yu's heart at the moment.

The eldest son in her arms had fallen asleep, while the youngest daughter was lying obediently on the bench, sleeping quietly with her head resting on her mother's thighs.

Shu Yu sat on the bench in a daze, her mind was blank. She was so tired that she didn't want to move at all.

The doctor's words echoed in her mind again.

"You should get the surgery as soon as possible while you are still young so that the effect will be better. Go back and prepare the money for the surgery as soon as possible."

Her son's heart surgery cost 200,000 yuan, but after the divorce, she only got 50,000 yuan in total, and now most of it has been used for the child's medical treatment.

She is an orphan and has no parents or relatives to support her. Where can she find 200,000 yuan to pay for her child's surgery?

With only 200,000 yuan, her child can become a healthy and normal person again. With only 200,000 yuan!

She looked at her pale eldest son in her arms, and then at her little daughter who was sleeping like an angel on her lap, and she couldn't help but let her tears fall one by one.

Why was her life like it was stuck in a deep quagmire and no matter how hard she struggled she couldn't climb out?

She studied very hard since she was young, and finally got into college, and then worked very hard. She just wanted to have a home, a family, and live an ordinary life!

God, can't you have mercy on me?

I just want my children to be healthy and live a stable life with me. I don't ask for anything else, is this not okay?

Shu Yu has always been a very strong person, but at this moment, in the quiet hospital corridor, under the dim lights, she could no longer hold back and collapsed.

She felt like she really couldn't hold on any longer!
