Chapter 118: Ten Years of Tragedy

Ten years ago, it was a very quiet afternoon in a mountain village two kilometers away from Maria Hospital.

The woman was in the dilapidated house, flipping the spatula and humming a song, looking very happy.

Today is Dong Feipeng’s birthday. In previous years, on Dong Feipeng’s birthday, the family of three would cook several delicious dishes at home.

However, this year the child’s father got a raise and a promotion at the company, and his salary doubled.

It happened to be the child's birthday, so the child's father went to town and ordered a birthday cake. Dong Feipeng had said that he had wanted to eat it for a long time.

Thinking of this, the woman felt even happier. She took out the scrambled eggs from the iron pan and put them aside.

"Fei Peng's mother, Fei Peng's mother!"

An old lady hurried in from outside the door, looking anxious, running and shouting.

The woman was a little surprised, wiped her hands and walked out of the room. It was the aunt next door.

Seeing the aunt in front of her in a hurry, the woman didn't find it strange.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

The aunt held the woman's hand tightly and ran out.

"Hurry up and go to the county hospital. Your Feipeng suddenly vomited blood and passed out!"

"What?!"

When the woman heard this, everything went dark before her eyes and she seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

She was taken to the town hospital by her aunt before she even put on her shoes.

Ten years ago, the town hospital was not very developed in terms of scale or medicines, and could even be said to be relatively poor.

Minor illnesses like colds and fevers can be treated.

However, Dong Feipeng vomited blood for no reason. The hospital at that time examined him for a long time, but they could not find out the cause.

The doctor shook his head.

"Why don't you go to a big hospital? Our small hospital isn't well-equipped, and we really can't diagnose it."

Hearing this, the woman felt dizzy and panicked.

However, she still made a prompt decision and hurriedly dragged her 8-year-old son to Maria Hospital.

Maria Hospital is only two kilometers away from their village, but in those days, it would take at least half a day to walk this two-kilometer distance by manpower.

The mountains are high and the roads are long, and there is no convenient way to get there, so you can only take one step at a time.

She dragged Dong Feipeng to the hospital. She was an uneducated woman and had no idea what disease Dong Feipeng had.

But if she doesn't get treatment soon, she's afraid...

Thinking of this, the woman wiped the sweat off her face, weighed Dong Feipeng on her back, and walked faster.

This Maria Hospital was very luxurious 10 years ago and looked like a castle from a distance.

The woman was also a little scared, but at this moment she was only thinking about saving her son's life and didn't care whether her family had enough money.

If this hospital could save their son, they would sell everything they had, even if it meant selling everything they had, to cure him.

When she walked into the magnificent Maria Hospital wearing rags, the doctors inside looked at her with strange eyes.

When the doctor in the hospital saw the 8-year-old boy on the woman's back, his eyes suddenly lit up.

A few people whispered something, and a female doctor quickly stepped forward and took Dong Feipeng off the woman.

"Did this kid just vomit blood?"

Hearing this, the woman who had been frightened all the way couldn't help but feel hopeful. She nodded repeatedly and looked at the doctors around her with earnest eyes.

"Please save my son!"

"He suddenly vomited blood. We don't know why, and the town hospital couldn't find out what it was."

As he said this, he knelt on the ground, tears flowing out like rushing sea water.

"Please save my son first! No matter how much money you ask, we will find a way!"

The female doctor in front of her frowned and quickly pulled the woman on the ground up.

"Don't say that. Doctors are kind-hearted. We will try our best to treat him."

As he spoke, he gave a look to the doctors behind him. Seeing what he saw, the doctors quickly pushed a stretcher over and placed the child on it.

"Don't worry, we will do the examination right away. Family members please wait outside the door for a while."

The woman held the female doctor's sleeve tightly, like a piece of driftwood floating in the water.

"Thank you, thank you doctor!"

The doctor exchanged glances with the people behind him and quickly pushed the patient into the operating room.

The woman was waiting outside the door, standing there helplessly.

The female doctor put on a mask and looked at the attending doctor standing beside her.

"The woman outside just brought an 8-year-old child. I think the child has a good physique. The vomiting of blood is probably just due to strenuous exercise. We just checked her body and there is no problem. Her heart is in good condition and she has no underlying diseases. She should be the candidate for the transplant for No. 16. Boss, do you think we can..."

The middle-aged man, with his back to her, looked excitedly at the boy tied to the operating table.

"Go call that person and tell him we've found a suitable heart and we're ready for a transplant anytime."

"yes!"

After receiving the order, the woman quickly walked to the back door of the operating room and left quietly.

After a while, the woman came back with her cell phone, looking excited.

"Boss, that guy said, take action immediately. He has already sent a helicopter to the top floor. After the heart is removed, it will be airlifted directly. He also said..."

At this point, the woman hesitated.

"What else?"

"That person also said that this operation...must be performed by you personally."

The middle-aged man frowned somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"I do it myself, but it wasn't before..."

Having said that, the middle-aged man paused.

"Okay, I understand. Let's start the operation."

The middle-aged man stood aside, fully armed, with a scalpel at the ready, and marked the boy's heart.

The young nurse on the side was a little scared and hesitant.

"But, Dr. Li, what about the woman outside the door?"

The female doctor had a cold expression and laughed disdainfully.

"What else can we do? Look at the rags she's wearing. She probably doesn't have much money or power. We can just say we tried our best and this was just an accident. What else can she do to us?"

"this....."

The young nurse looked hesitant and twisted her fingers.

The middle-aged man on the side glanced at her coldly. The young nurse shuddered and lowered her head repeatedly.

"I see...."

"Hurry and prepare for surgery. They've asked for an airlift within the hour. Successfully cultivating Subject No. 16 wasn't easy. We must do everything in our power to preserve this heart!"

An hour later, the middle-aged man took off his blood-stained surgical gown and threw it aside. He held the intact heart and looked at the woman beside him.

"The rest is up to you. You know what to do."

The woman nodded, very respectfully.

"Yes, I know."

The man changed into black clothes, held the heart in the sealed space, and walked out directly from the back door.
