At this moment, a male doctor in a white coat walked over from his seat and asked in very pure local language, âIs Ms. MO Zhu awake?â
Li You nodded. âYes, my mother is awake. I want to know how her condition is. â
The doctor raised his glasses from the bridge of his nose. âWhatâs your relationship with Ms. MO Zhu?â
Li You said, âIâm her daughter.â
After knowing the relationship between the person in front of her and MO
Zhu, the doctorâs expression turned serious. He told Li You everything about MO Zhuâs current situation. The doctor did not speak quickly, but Li You was still in a daze because she heard the most terrifying words.
âLate stageâ¦â Her throat was dry, and her hands couldnât stop shaking at her sides. Even if she heard it from the doctorâs own mouth, she still didnât want to believe the fact that was right in front of her. She murmured, âBut until now, my mother had been in good health and weâd always lived together. How could that be? There was no sign of it at allâ¦â
The doctor understood the patientâs familyâs doubts. Therefore, the doctor told Li You the reason why MO Zhu had leukemia. It was a virus from a neighboring country that had messed up the hematopoietic function in MO
Zhuâs body and she did not notice it immediately. That was why it quickly developed into the late stage without any warning.
âNeighboring countryâ¦â
When Li You heard about the virus in the neighboring country, she immediately remembered that not long ago, her mother had indeed gone to the neighboring country around Country T with her father.
The doctor understood the familyâs mood at this moment. Although late-stage leukemia was terrifying, late-stage leukemia could also be transplanted into bone marrow, so this did not mean that there was no hope.
The doctorâs words reminded Li You, âSince youâre Ms. MO Zhuâs daughter, you can try to do a bone marrow puncture match for your mother.â
Li Youâs eyes lit up. âl can do it too. Any time. 1 can do it now. I can do it immediately.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNot now. We have to wait until tomorrow. You have to be prepared in advanceâ¦â The doctor spoke at length.
After saying that, the doctor had to remind Li You again, âAlthough you are Ms. MO Zhuâs daughter and there is a high chance that you will successfully match your motherâs bone marrow, this doesnât mean that you will definitely succeed. You have to relax. If you donât succeed in the end, you can wait patiently for a donation response after asking for help.â
Half a month ago, Li Huaisheng had already initiated a bone marrow donation request. Before asking for help, Li Huaisheng had already completed the bone marrow match with MO Zhu, but it did not succeed.
After hearing the doctorâs words, Li You realized that her father had endured so much alone in the past half a month.
Although the doctor had told her the worst possible scenario, she still had high hopes. She came out of the doctors office.
Li Youâs mind was filled with thoughts of bone marrow puncture. She did not even see Pei Jingzhou standing in front of her and almost bumped into him. After being grabbed by Pei Jingzhou, she came back to her senses and murmured, âWhy are you here?â
Pei Jingzhou said, âAfter Uncle went in, I came out. 1 was behind you just now.
You and the doctor were talking inside, and I was outside.â
Li You nodded and lowered her head. She said softly to Pei Jingzhou, âIâve already found out about Momâs condition from the doctor.â
Pei Jingzhou said, âl heard it.â
Li You suddenly looked up at Pei Jingzhou and said firmly, âMy bone marrow will definitely match Momâs.â
Pei Jingzhou said, âl can try mine too.â
Li You threw herself into Pei Jingzhouâs arms. The emotions she had been suppressing for a long time burst at this moment. âPei Jingzhouâ¦â
Pei Jingzhou raised his arm and placed it between her back shoulders. âIâm
here.â
Li You did not leave the hospital that night. She stayed in the ward. Although she had asked Pei Jingzhou to go back and rest many times, Pei Jingzhou did not leave. He stayed by her side in silence.
Father Li also sat by the bed like a stone statue and sat quietly for the entire night. After a long night, at dawn the next day, the light of dawn shone through the shadows of the sycamore trees outside the window. The ground was mottled.
Li You tiptoed to the bed. Her mother wasnât awake yet. Her father was still sitting in a sitting position. He had not changed much the entire night. However, Li You realized that her fatherâs raven-black hair seemed to have turned much whiter after this nightâ¦
Pei Jingzhou suggested that he do the bone marrow puncture first.
Li Youâs heart ached, but she had no choice, because she did not want to let go of any chance to save her mother. Pei Jingzhou cooperated and took a few tubes of blood. Then, it was bone marrow puncture surgery. This was also a surgery. Although it would not leave any scars, there was a risk of probability.
Li You followed Pei Jingzhou the entire time. When Pei Jingzhou came out of the surgery, the first thing she asked was, âDoes it hurt?â
Pei Jingzhou had only undergone a local anesthesia, so he was very awake. When he came out of the operating theater, he saw that Li You was worried about him. He couldnât take care of himself, but he still reached out and rubbed her cheek. â1 donât feel anything.â
âNonsense. If you really donât feel anything at all, somethings going to happen.â Her voice was muffled.
In order to reassure her, Pei Jingzhou said softly, âItâs a local anesthesia. I donât feel anything for the time being. It might hurt a little when the anesthesia disappears.â Li Youâs eyes turned red. Pei Jingzhou said, âl told the truth because I was afraid youâd be worried. Donât cry.â
She fought back the tears that crawled out and nodded obediently. âMm.â
Entering the operating theater had always been a terrifying thing for Li You, but this time, it was for her mother. No matter how many times she entered, she did not feel afraid. When Pei Jingzhou was resting, she entered the operating theater.
Li You and Pei Jingzhou did not hide the fact that they had a bone marrow puncture. Father Li knew about it.
And it would take two days to get the results of the bone marrow puncture.
Li You stayed in the hospital for the past two days and did not go anywhere. Pei Jingzhou ran between the capital and Country T. Madam Di Xin came a few times during this period, and Yu Hewei and Gu Lanshi also came twice.
The MO family, who were far away in the capital, did not know about MO Zhuâs current situation.
That afternoon, Madam Di Xin, who had come in the morning, came again in the afternoon.
Li You had just finished answering Pei Jingzhouâs call and was about to get some water when Pei Jingzhou told her on the phone that he would arrive tonight and asked her to sleep early.
Tomorrow was the day the results of the bone marrow puncture would be out.
Thinking about tomorrow, Li Youâs abdomen hurt again. She didnât know if it was because of her mood these past two days, but her menstrual period that had been delayed for so long came, yet she didnât have much blood. Her abdomen hurt even more than usual.
She took a sanitary pad and bumped into Madam Di Xin as soon as she came out of the ward. She called out politely, âMadam Di Xin.â
Madam Di Xin looked at Li Youâs pale face, It was about the same as in the morning. Thinking about how she had asked her about the situation in the morning, she realized that her period had come. It was clearly a normal thing, but Madam Di Xin was still a little worried.
Knowing that this girl would definitely not ask the doctor, she specially came again to take her to ask the doctor and check again.
Hence, Madam Di Xin grabbed Li Youâs wrist. âFollow me.â
Li You was a little confused. She didnât know what Madam Di Xin was doing. Until Madam Di Xin brought her to the gynecology department on the other floor. When she saw the gynecology department, she subconsciously thought that Madam Di Xin wanted her to accompany her for some checkup.
However, she heard Madam Di Xin say, âTell the doctor about your condition and see if you want to do a checkup. Your mother will be angry if she finds out that you dragged your sick body around for her. You know that your mother canât be angry now.â
Li You subconsciously resisted. â1 donât want to go. Iâm fine.â
âNo, you have to go in. If you donât, Iâll tell your mother.â Madam Di Xin reminded Li You with MO Zhu.
This forced Li You to compromise. Because her mother really couldnât be
angry now.
She went in at last..
