Chapter 1: You Have a New Delivery Order, Please Handle It ASAP

"Family of the patient, please sign here."

Rong Leying took the pen from the doctor’s hand with a numb expression, her hand trembling as she signed her name on the critical condition notice.

"The family should prepare themselves mentally; the patient’s current situation is not optimistic."

*Doctor, please, you must save my grandfather...*

The words were stuck in Rong Leying’s throat. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out; the intense agony had temporarily robbed her of the ability to speak.

The doctor, accustomed to life and death, looked at the young girl. She was as pale as a sheet, her clothes stained with blood in various places, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

Although they would do their best to save him, the old man’s injuries were so severe that even if the surgery were successful, whether he would ever wake up was another matter entirely.

The doctor left with the signed notice. The operating room doors opened and closed, and the red "In Surgery" sign above the door was blindingly bright.

Inside, hovering between life and death, was the grandfather who had been her constant companion since childhood.

Rong Leying stood motionless, her mind flashing back through everything she had experienced over the past twenty years.

Parents are true love, children are accidents; Rong Leying was that accident.

Her parents were a "power couple" of two love-struck fools. After she was born, the young couple spent their days lost in romance and leisure, dumping the child on her grandfather, Rong Hongye, to raise.

When she was less than a year old, the couple got into a car accident while out on a trip. Her mother died on the spot, and her father was severely injured, taking nearly a year to recover.

Unable to bear the sight of the child who looked so much like his lost love, her father left home to work after he recovered.

That departure lasted over a decade; he never once returned to visit the old man or the child.

She and her grandfather relied on each other. Life was frugal but very happy; her grandfather gave her so much love.

Even without a mother or father, she didn't feel inferior; she remained positive and motivated.

Perhaps Heaven felt the hardships it had manufactured for her weren't enough.

Half a year ago, her grandfather, the only person she had in the world, was diagnosed with a severe kidney disease. Ordinary treatment was useless.

To survive, he needed a kidney transplant. The surgery cost hundreds of thousands; they could work hard to save the money, but they couldn't find a suitable donor.

Kidney transplants are relatively easier to find donors for compared to other organ transplants, yet there was simply no match for her grandfather.

She had considered donating her own kidney, but he wasn't her biological grandfather—her father had been adopted by him, so there was no blood relation, and they weren't a match.

Just then, her father, whom she hadn't seen in over a decade, suddenly appeared. He had the money and resources to help her grandfather find a suitable kidney, but the condition was that she had to come home with him.

That irresponsible father of hers, who claimed her mother was the love of his life, had met a new "true love" shortly after leaving home, married, and had a pair of fraternal twins.

Rong Mingda had built his company with the help of his current wife’s family and was now successful and living a happy family life.

Logically, his happy family wouldn't welcome a child from his ex-wife. She didn't believe for a second that this father, who hadn't been in contact for over ten years, was suddenly overflowing with paternal love and wanted to bring her home to make amends—especially since he promised not to restrict her from visiting her grandfather.

But her grandfather’s condition was critical. She couldn't worry about that. Once she ensured he had truly found a kidney for her grandfather, she followed her deadbeat father home.

Rong Leying had long expected that the wealthy household would be treacherous and that her stepmother and the twins wouldn't welcome an outsider who had suddenly appeared.

Therefore, she never hoped to find familial affection in that house. She only focused on her grandfather’s health and kept his words in mind: eat well, sleep well, take care of yourself, don't bully others, but don't let others bully you.

Moreover, aside from being born to such a pair of parasitic parents, her luck was explosive. No matter what happened, she could turn misfortune into fortune. She won every lottery ticket she bought, and any lucky draw she entered was guaranteed to be the grand prize.

It was just that her grandfather wouldn't let her participate in these luck-based games.

Her grandfather said that a person’s fortune is destined. If you use current luck to trade for things that don't belong to you, then in the future, something of equal value will be lost from you.

After moving in with her deadbeat father, she felt more and more that her grandfather’s words made sense.

She didn't want to fight the twins for anything, nor did she antagonize her stepmother; on the surface, she was at least polite.

Yet, they viewed her as a "robber" in their home and repeatedly plotted against her. If it weren't for her natural good luck, which allowed her to escape every disaster, she would have already gone to meet her ill-fated mother.

But she never imagined they would be so deranged as to lay a hand on her grandfather!

No!

It was her fault that her grandfather was involved. If she hadn't come to pick him up from the hospital today, he wouldn't have been in the car accident.

Why were they both in the same car, yet only her grandfather was severely injured while she was completely fine?!

It was all her fault. If it weren't for her, her grandfather wouldn't have been hurt.

If it weren't for her, her grandfather wouldn't have had to work so hard alone, and his health wouldn't have collapsed.

It was all her fault!

Why wasn't she the one lying inside?!

Self-reproach and guilt drowned her. She bit her lower lip hard, tears falling in large drops to the floor, her body trembling uncontrollably.

*God, if you really exist, please help me. I am willing to trade my life for my grandfather’s!*

*He is the only family I have left. Please... please don't take him away!*

...

"You have a new delivery order. Please process it as soon as possible."

A cold, mechanical female voice suddenly rang out in the quiet space.

Rong Leying, immersed in her emotions, didn't pay attention, her heart continuously praying for her grandfather to be okay.

"You have a new delivery order. Please process it as soon as possible."

The cold, mechanical voice repeated several times before it finally caught Rong Leying’s attention.

She looked up and scanned her surroundings. Aside from her, there was only a middle-aged man at the entrance of the operating room.

The man sat on a bench, head bowed, lost in thought.

Rong Leying glanced at him once before withdrawing her gaze to stare back at the operating room door.

"You have a new delivery order. Please process it in time."

The voice again.

Rong Leying realized belatedly that the sound was coming from her phone.

She pulled the phone from her pocket, and the moment she unlocked the screen, it automatically jumped to a new page.

「Please deliver the airplane toy in the hands of Xu Zihang at the entrance of the operating room in the Emergency Building of Dongning Hospital to Xu Yunfei.

Upon successful delivery, you will receive five merit points and a delivery fee of 50,000 yuan. Does the rider choose to accept the delivery?」

These words appeared on the phone screen.

Dongning Hospital. She was currently at Dongning Hospital, right at the entrance of the operating room in the Emergency Building.

Faced with such a sudden app, in the past, Rong Leying would have definitely chosen to turn off the phone and restart it.

Telecom fraud was rampant these days; such an inexplicable pop-up app had to be a scam.

But today, she didn't know what came over her; as if possessed, she tapped "Accept."

The moment her finger touched the screen, a blinding white light flashed before her eyes. Rong Leying instinctively closed them.

When she opened them again, she found a little boy covered in blood standing in front of her, a large hole in his head from which blood was still bubbling out, pooling on the floor.
