Chapter 516: Human Instinct to Protect Themselves

On the way back, I still couldn't believe it. I asked Xiao Shiqiu, "You knew my dad was thinking about my kidneys a long time ago, why didn't you tell me?"

He said plausibly, "Your cheap brother didn't need a kidney transplant at that time, so why should you worry about it in advance?"

"Then why do you let Su Yi say it again now?" I asked.

“The situation has changed now. If the child doesn’t get a kidney transplant, he’ll have to go to the hospital for dialysis all the time.

So your father will probably come to you and ask you to give his son a kidney soon.

I'm telling you now because I'm afraid that if I'm not around, you might be caught off guard by him. You're too soft-hearted to even think about it."

He said it casually, as if it was no big deal.

But I felt like the sky was falling. My father actually wanted me to donate a kidney to his illegitimate son.

I always thought that although he was a little biased towards boys, he still loved me. But now he wants to use my organs to save his other child.

This is harder for me to accept than the fact that he has an illegitimate child.

"Do you think my dad would think that people have two kidneys, so it doesn't matter if one is removed?" I still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that maybe he didn't know what impact removing one kidney would have on me.

"Impossible." Xiao Shiqiu answered without any hesitation.

“Su Yi had already told him all the risks of donating a kidney before he knew the so-called donor was you.

I also specifically told him that even if the operation is successful and you recover well, the risk of future pregnancy is still very high, and it is very likely that the fetus will be affected due to the inability to metabolize the drugs.

And it could very well affect your lifespan.”

I feel like I'm going to be depressed. I feel like a little fat sheep that has been carefully fed, and now it's time to eat meat during the New Year.

I said gloomily, "If I'm unwilling to donate, will you think I'm too hard-hearted?"

I think of that handsome but pale and thin little boy. If he was not my father's illegitimate son, I would feel very sympathetic towards him.

But he happens to be my father's illegitimate son.

The only thing he did wrong was being reborn into my father's mistress's womb, which made him born with original sin.

He looked at me like I was a fool and asked, "Do you sympathize with that child?"

I have mixed feelings. When I first found out that my father had an illegitimate child, I felt angry and thought he owed me and my mother.

But after I learned about the relationship between my mother and Deng Sisi, I felt that they were even, and it turned out that I was the only one who was pitiful.

Now there is another child who is as pitiful as me, or even more pitiful than me. Except for the time when I first learned about my father's plan, I felt heartbroken, but now I feel calm.

"Maybe a little, but I definitely wouldn't be willing to give him a kidney just because of this little bit of sympathy.

I'm not that great, I'm actually quite selfish." Although I didn't think I would agree to donating a kidney, I still felt depressed and uncomfortable.

Xiao Shiqiu shook my hand, his voice seemed to have a soothing magic, "Baby, this is not selfishness, this is the instinctive protection of human beings.

Even siblings who grew up together can't donate a kidney, let alone someone like you.

Before this, that child was a stranger to you.

Just because you’re unwilling to donate a kidney doesn’t mean you’re unkind, so relax.

If you feel embarrassed about this matter, I will talk to your father and you can even pretend that you don’t know anything about it.”
