"So if a bone marrow donation is really needed, is Fang Baobao the only one left?"

“Fang Baobao is so spoiled by them that she’s not a normal person anymore, let alone donating bone marrow.”

"Anyway, a bone marrow transplant may not be necessary; chemotherapy might suffice."

"The main problem is that there's no one to take care of them. To be honest, Fang Baobao is unlikely to come and help. My adoptive parents are really quite pathetic now."

"That's true, there are so many children and we can't count on any of them."

The two then left the inpatient department.

"Xiao Fan, the flowers are blooming." Ye Tingjun and Xiao He came over carrying a food box.

Hua Kai called out to her uncle and aunt.

Ye Yifan called out to his parents and said, "Didn't I say I'd be here? Why did you all come? Xiao Zhou is busy with his studies right now, so please take good care of him."

Xiao He smiled and said, "Your younger brother is much more sensible now. He's very focused on his studies and his grades have improved a lot. We don't have to worry about him. Your father and I thought that since Kai Kai could come today, we came over to let you go out for a walk and have some good food. We can take care of Grandpa here."

Hua Kai could see that the relationship between Xiao He and Ye Yifan had improved a lot, and she was happy for Ye Yifan.

She said to Xiao He, "Auntie, Xiao Zhou called me earlier and asked Ye Yifan and me to help him with his English. Why don't we buy some food and go to his house to have dinner with him, and tutor him while we're at it?"

Xiao He said, "That's fine then. You don't need to come back. Your dad and I will stay here with you tonight."

Ye Yifan agreed, "Then Huakai and I will stay at home today and explain all the questions Xiaozhou doesn't understand. We'll come to pick you up tomorrow morning."

Ye Tingjun said, "Then you go ahead, buy lots of good food, Xiao Zhou is really looking forward to your visit."

Ye Yifan and Hua Kai said goodbye to Ye Tingjun and Xiao He, went to Li Hui's place and bought a bunch of barbecue and other food before returning home.

Ye Yizhou was overjoyed to see Ye Yifan and Hua Kai return; the two brothers now had an exceptionally good relationship.

After eating, we chatted for a while and then started studying.

The next morning, Hua Kaiye, Yi Fan, and Ye Yi Zhou went to the hospital together to pick up Ye Jianxiao and take him home.

However, as soon as he arrived at the ward, he saw Li Lanfang there, kneeling on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

"I beg you, please save Changliang! We raised Xiaofan, after all. Although we made mistakes, we still have a relationship. You can't just stand by and watch him die. Changliang is critically ill and urgently needs a bone marrow transplant. I really don't know what to do." Li Lanfang cried her heart out, truly at her wit's end.

Ye Jianxiao sat on the edge of the bed, his brows furrowed: "I've said it before, your Fang family has wronged us. Your affairs have nothing to do with us. You should leave now."

Li Lanfang knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Uncle, I beg you, please, just consider it an act of kindness from you to help us. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, please consider it an act of good deeds, okay? I can't let Changliang die so young, we can still save him now."

Hua Kai went inside and helped Li Lanfang up, saying, "Auntie, we understand how you feel, but as you said, you need a bone marrow transplant, which requires a match from your family. So it's no use coming to us. You should hurry up and call your children, or Uncle Fang's siblings, to get a match before we talk about anything else."

Hua Kai also asked Meng Jing about it these past two days. She said that bone marrow transplantation is not very mature yet, there is no systematic bone marrow bank, and transplantation is basically based on matching relatives. That's why Hua Kai said that.

Li Lanfang was crying so hard she was almost sobbing: "My eldest and second daughters are both married, but their husbands' families won't let me donate bone marrow. Lanlan doesn't agree to donate and refuses my visits. Nana is also missing. Bao is still young. When my siblings heard about this, they refused without even discussing it with me. I really have no other choice but to come and beg you. Please help me."

Ye Yifan said, "I'm not related to you by blood, so it's really useless for you to come to us. You should think about getting your child to be a match. Fang Baobao is seventeen years old, it's not impossible, is it?"

Li Lanfang, with her hands wrapped around her sleeves, said, "I can't do anything about the baby not coming."

Hua Kai sighed: "Your own family has blocked all our solutions, so what can we do?"

Li Lanfang turned to Xiao He and said, "Little sister, Lanlan listens to you the most. Can you go to the prison and persuade her to donate bone marrow to her father? No matter what, he is her biological father. He can't just stand by and watch her die."

Xiao He frowned and asked, "Did Fang Lanlan just refuse outright?"

Li Lanfang said, "Yes, once she knew about this, she stopped seeing me. She said she would never donate, even if it meant death. Now I can't even see her."

Xiao He said, "I really didn't expect Fang Lanlan to be so ruthless. I guess it's no use me going now."

Because the last time she spoke to Fang Lanlan, their mother-daughter relationship had been severed for so many years. Of course, Xiao He is now increasingly realizing that Fang Lanlan is not as good as she previously thought.

Hua Kai couldn't help but sigh, "That's really ruthless. Every time your Fang family has something going on, it's Ye Yifan, an outsider, who has to take the blame. But now it's not something an outsider can handle. We really can't help you anymore."

Li Lanfang wiped away her tears: "I regret it, I really regret it. I've worked myself to the bone having so many children, what was it all for? I really regret it so much, what am I going to do now?"

Ye Yifan also sighed: "We really have no other choice now. Transplantation is the only way. No matter which child it is, we have to send one to give us some hope, right?"

Li Lanfang said to Ye Yifan, "Xiaofan, can you help your mother one last time? Just watch over your father for half a day, and I'll go home and bring the baby for matching. If the baby doesn't come, then I'll have to ask you to help me persuade Lanlan."

Ye Yifan thought for a moment and then nodded: "Okay, go ahead."

Li Lanfang hurriedly ran out. No matter how much she loved her son, she didn't want to remain a widow.

Watching Li Lanfang leave, Ye Jianxiao said helplessly, "What kind of people are these? Who are the people in this family?"

Xiao He sighed, "I used to think Fang Lanlan was kind-hearted, but I was really blind. Fang Lanlan is so cruel, she doesn't even care about her own father's life or death?"

Ye Yizhou added from behind, "Fang Lanlan is far more cunning than you think. She used to advise me not to study too hard, saying that my family was well-off and that Dad could arrange a job for me later. I really thought she was right, so I didn't study very hard. But now that I see my older brother and Sister Huakai's achievements, and that they have been encouraging me to study, I've started to study hard myself. With that hope, I realize what I almost missed."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tingjun was so angry that the veins on his forehead stood up: "That Fang Lanlan is really wicked."

Ye Jianxiao shook his head: "Alright, let's go home first. Xiao Fan, go and look after your adoptive father for a while. This time they won't dare to shirk their responsibilities, after all, bone marrow is the key."
