Chapter 450 Leukemia

Chi Wenyan also immediately stepped forward, the pressure around him was low: "Speak."

The doctor took a deep breath and handed over a report: "The test results show that Nian Nian has congenital acute lymphoblastic leukemia."

"boom--!"

Like a bolt from the blue, it hit Ji Wan's head hard!

Leukemia? !

These three words were like a poisoned ice cone that instantly pierced her heart, causing her vision to go black and her body to shake uncontrollably.

Chi Wenyan quickly supported her shaky body, his arms tightening, his voice trembling slightly, "Doctor, please explain! How could it be leukemia?"

Ji Wan tightly grasped Chi Wenyan's arm, her nails almost digging into his flesh. She forced herself to stand firm, staring at the doctor intently, every word coming out from between her teeth: "Did the doctor make a mistake? Nian Nian just has a fever..."

The doctor shook his head with a grave expression. "The test results have been repeatedly confirmed and are correct. Nian Nian's condition is quite special. It's congenital, with an acute onset and rapid progression. The only treatment currently available is a bone marrow transplant, and that's urgent."

Bone marrow transplant...

Ji Wan's head was buzzing, and the huge panic and despair almost swallowed her.

She suddenly shook off Chi Wenyan's hand, rushed to the bedside, looked at Nian Nian's pale little face, and tears burst out.

How could her Nian Nian, her precious daughter whom she held in her arms, get such a terrible disease!

"Doctor, use mine. Draw my bone marrow so I can match hers!" Ji Wan turned around abruptly and grabbed the doctor's arm. His tone was urgent, and his eyes were filled with desperate madness. "Please, draw my blood now and do a match immediately!"

Although Nian Nian was not her biological child, after spending these past few months with her day and night, she had already treated this well-behaved and sensible child as her own, a part of her very bones and blood! Not to mention her bone marrow, even if her life was threatened, she would never frown!

The doctor soothed her, "Mrs. Chi, don't get excited. We will arrange a matching immediately. But..."

"No buts!" Ji Wan interrupted him, her voice hoarse but full of unquestionable determination, "I'm her mother! It will definitely work!"

Chi Wenyan watched her nearly collapse yet trying to stay strong, his heart aching. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Doctor, take my blood too, for a matching test."

The doctor nodded. "Okay, we'll arrange it right away. Also, if it's convenient for the child's other immediate family members, please come as soon as possible for a blood test. One more person means more hope."

Ji Wan immediately took out his cell phone and dialed Zhao Xiyue's number with trembling fingers.

The call was answered almost instantly, and Zhao Xiyue's worried voice came: "Wanwan? How's Niannian?"

"Xiyue..." Ji Wan's voice was choked with sobs, and he could barely utter a complete sentence. "Nian Nian has been diagnosed with leukemia... She needs a bone marrow transplant... Come to the hospital quickly and get a matching diagnosis."

Zhao Xiyue on the other end of the phone was struck by lightning. After a long while, she uttered a sound of disbelief: "What?! Leukemia?! Okay! I'll be there right away! Which hospital?!"

After hanging up the phone, Ji Wan leaned against the wall exhausted, tears silently streaming down her face.

The matching results came out quickly, but they were like two basins of ice water, completely extinguishing the fire of hope that had been burning in Ji Wan's heart.

She and Chi Wenyan are not a match.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xiyue, who rushed over, also underwent an examination, and the results were equally disappointing.

No match.

"How could this happen? How could they not match?" Ji Wan sat dejectedly on the bench outside the ward, muttering to himself with empty eyes.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Nian Nian was still waiting for life-saving bone marrow in the ward, but the hope was so slim.

Chi Wenyan stood beside her, looking at her despair, feeling distressed and helpless.

He mobilized all his connections to search the bone marrow bank, but there was no news for a while.

Zhao Xiyue's eyes were red as she held Ji Wan's cold hand: "Wanwan, don't be like this, there must be a way! Let's think about it..."

Ji Wan looked up suddenly as if he had grasped a lifeline. A glimmer of light rekindled in his eyes. "Yes! There's a way! Go online! Let's ask for help online! Post a message looking for a matching bone marrow donor! There must be someone who can save Nian Nian!"

As if she were instantly infused with strength, she immediately pulled out her phone and, with trembling fingers, began typing a message for help. She described Nian Nian's condition in detail, attached the hospital's diagnosis, and, with tears in her eyes, begged anyone who could help her and save this young child.

After sending the message, Ji Wan tightly gripped his phone, staring at the screen without blinking, as if that was his only hope.

As time passed, the post was forwarded continuously and attracted widespread attention. Countless netizens left messages of encouragement and said they would help spread it.

Just as Ji Wan and Chi Wenyan were waiting anxiously, an unexpected person appeared at the door of the ward.

Su Jiujiu was wearing a plain white dress with no makeup on her face. She was holding a fruit basket in her hand and looking in the direction of the ward with a complicated look in her eyes.

She saw the help request online.

"Mrs. Chi," Su Jiujiu said hesitantly, her eyes fixed on the haggard Ji Wan. "I saw the news online about Miss Nian Nian's illness..."

Ji Wan raised her bloodshot eyes and looked at her coldly without saying a word. At this moment, she had no mind to think about the photo. All her emotions were occupied by her daughter's illness.

When Chi Wenyan saw Su Jiujiu, his face instantly darkened, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to scold her, but he heard Su Jiujiu continue:

"I have type O blood, RH positive. I don't know if I can help you, but I want to come to the hospital and do a matching test."

Su Jiujiu's words were like a stone thrown into a stagnant pond, instantly stirring up huge waves in Ji Wan and Chi Wenyan's hearts.

Ji Wan suddenly raised her eyes, her gaze fixed sharply on Su Jiujiu's face. In her eyes, that plain face was full of inexplicable meaning.

This woman showed up at this time and asked for a blood test? What did she mean?

The chill around Chi Wenyan almost solidified into substance. He took a step forward, blocking Ji Wan behind him, and said in a voice as cold as ice: "Miss Su, you are not welcome here."

Su Jiujiu, however, seemed not to notice the warning and disgust in his eyes. She raised her chin slightly, looking past Chi Wenyan and directly at Ji Wan. Her tone was almost eerily calm, "Mrs. Chi, saving Nian Nian is important, isn't it? One more person to test means one more hope. My blood type meets the basic requirements, so why not give it a try?"

Every word struck Ji Wan's heart, leaving her unable to refute.

Saving Nian Nian was the most important thing; that was her only conviction. She could let go of all grudges as long as she could save her daughter.
