"Honey, I'm sorry... The doctor says I can't work anymore..."
When Chen Cang entered the ICU, these were the words he heard. He saw Wang Dong holding his wife, crying desperately.
When Wang Dong spoke, his heart was truly filled with despair.
For a man struggling to scrape by in the cracks of the capital, survival was already hard enough, let alone living.
The sudden crisis left him incapable of working, something that hurt him more than death.
How high is the monthly mortgage?
How large are the daily expenses?
How immense is the work pressure?
And how much does the surgery cost?
All of these are burdens on a man's mind, eroding his willpower.
"They said I need a liver transplant... There's no way I can make money this year..."
The strength he had shown until now completely melted away in this moment.
After all, he was just a boy who had taken up the heavy load of family responsibility, donning the armor of a breadwinner and battling life.
