Chapter 309: Saving Jiang Xiaomei
Zhao Xiaofei finished arranging things in Nanjing and was about to return to Ming Dynasty. As soon as he arrived at the warehouse, his cell phone rang. Zhao Xiaofei answered the phone and said, "Hello! Xiaodi, what's going on?"
"Brother, something happened to my sister! Come here quickly!" Jiang Di said anxiously.
When Zhao Xiaofei heard that Jiang Xiaomei was in trouble, he felt a sudden shock in his heart and felt as if something had drained away his strength.
It had been several years since we'd broken up, and I'd gotten married and had children. It felt like Jiang Xiaomei had long since left my heart. But now I realized I had never forgotten her, had always cared about her and cared about her. It was only because she wasn't in danger that I didn't get too upset.
When he suddenly heard that something happened to Jiang Xiaomei today, it touched a nerve in him.
After pausing for two seconds, Zhao Xiaofei asked, "What's going on?"
"My sister has mental problems. The doctor said it's depression!" said Jiang Di.
"Where is your sister? I'll be there right away!" Zhao Xiaofei's tone was also a little anxious.
Jiang Di told him the address and drove directly to the hospital. When he arrived at the ward door, he saw Jiang's mother coming out of the room.
Zhao Xiaofei stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, how is Xiaomei?"
Mother Jiang stopped Zhao Xiaofei who wanted to go in and take a look and said, "Don't go in. She just took some medicine and fell asleep."
"Auntie, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you come." Zhao Xiaofei said.
Mother Jiang glanced at Zhao Xiaofei and asked, "Did Xiaomei ever have your child?"
"Yes!" Zhao Xiaofei nodded.
Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother raised her hand and slapped him in the face. The sound was so loud that even Jiang Di, who was not far away, felt his face hurt. He had been slapped by his mother before. Jiang's mother asked him why he didn't tell her.
Now, Jiang's mother still had the same question. "Why didn't you tell me? You didn't tell me, you kept it a secret!" Jiang's mother looked at Zhao Xiaofei and Jiang Di with tears in her eyes.
"Auntie, Xiaomei had an ectopic pregnancy. When I heard that she was pregnant, I rushed over. And I was ready to marry her at that time." Zhao Xiaofei was not angry, but explained to Jiang's mother.
"But you know what? After that operation, she'll never be a mother again." Mother Jiang's body shook as if she'd been jolted. Zhao Xiaofei quickly supported her and sat her down on a bench.
Zhao Xiaofei was stunned. What was going on? He had no idea! No one had told him! He looked up at Jiang Di, who said, "Brother, I really don't know. I just asked around, and it turns out that Zhao Shuo's family forced him to break up with his eldest sister because she couldn't have children."
This time, Zhao Xiaofei felt dizzy and almost fainted. He had actually ruined Jiang Xiaomei's life. He kept muttering, "This is impossible! This can't be true! Xiaomei is such a good person, how could she be so unlucky? Impossible, impossible."
Zhao Xiaofei looked up at Jiang's mother, who was in tears, and said, "Auntie, where's the doctor? I told the doctor that no matter how much it costs, as long as Xiaomei is cured, I don't care what the price is."
"Even if she is cured, what will happen? Who will she give birth to a child with? She is on the verge of collapse now. Which man will marry her? You have ruined my daughter's life!" Jiang's mother said hatefully.
It turned out that after Jiang Xiaomei's last surgery, no problems were initially found. Zhao Shuo's parents initially had no objection until he planned to bring Jiang Xiaomei home to meet his parents. They simply asked them to get a pre-marital checkup, as they hoped to have grandchildren soon.
But when the test results came out, Jiang Xiaomei was stunned. The results showed that Jiang Xiaomei's uterine wall was too thin and she had ovarian cysts, and they were quite serious. She could no longer get pregnant.
Zhao Shuo's family, upon seeing this outcome, all opposed their relationship. Zhao Shuo insisted on marrying Jiang Xiaomei, but Jiang Xiaomei initiated a breakup, devoting herself to treatment. However, she consulted numerous specialists, all of whom said her condition was difficult to treat and that even pregnancy would be extremely dangerous. This incident became a source of worry for Jiang Xiaomei, and working at Zhao Xiaofei's company constantly reminded her of him. So, Jiang Xiaomei kept the pain and grievances she felt inside her bottled up until she saw her mother yesterday.
The nerve in her heart snapped, and she cried like a child, heartbroken and unable to control her emotions. Jiang's mother felt something was wrong and quickly asked Jiang Di to take her sister to the hospital.
Zhao Xiaofei learned the truth, knelt on the ground, and slapped himself in the face, muttering, "I'm sorry, Xiaomei! I'm sorry, Xiaomei!"
The beating lasted for a full ten minutes, and Jiang's mother didn't stop him. Only a nurse came over to stop it, otherwise Zhao Xiaofei would have fainted from the beating.
Seeing Zhao Xiaofei's expression, Jiang's mother sighed and said, "You've also admitted your mistake. Let's go!"
At this time, Zhao Xiaofei's face had swollen like a pig's head, and his speech began to become slurred. But he could still hear clearly.
Zhao Xiaofei said, "Auntie, I can't leave now. I want to stay. I want to know what the doctor said!"
"Okay! In that case, go to Clinic No. 2 to see Dr. Liu. He will tell you the details." Jiang's mother said.
Zhao Xiaofei stood up and walked towards Clinic No. 2. Jiang Di stopped him and said, "Brother, the doctor may not see you if you're like this. Go see the doctor first and get the swelling on your face gone."
Zhao Xiaofei pushed Jiang Di aside and walked into the clinic without paying any attention. Doctor Liu was shocked. When Zhao Xiaofei explained his purpose, Doctor Liu said, "The patient is under too much pressure, which has led to depression. So let her calm down first!"
"Then how can we help her calm down?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"The first thing is to stop working and let her go out more often. Especially, have her family members accompany her more. The second thing is the psychological pressure caused by her infertility. She has to be treated for this disease. Even if it cannot be cured, we have to lie to her and say it can be cured. Otherwise, she will still be under psychological pressure and will have another attack." said Dr. Liu.
"I understand, thank you, doctor!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
After leaving the clinic, Zhao Xiaofei called in a gynecologist. He handed over the medical records Jiang Di had brought for her sister. The specialist took a look and shook his head, saying, "It's very difficult to cure! The uterus is damaged, so even pregnancy is very dangerous."
"Is there any solution?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"Replace the uterus!" said the expert.
"How much hope is there?" asked Zhao Xiaofei.
"It is difficult to find a primary donor, so it is best to have a relative. Otherwise, the rejection reaction will be too severe and the operation will be in vain," said the expert.
"She doesn't have any relatives. Apart from her mother, I don't think anyone else can donate a uterus to her," said Zhao Xiaofei.
"The success rate is very high, but it's a bit troublesome!" said the expert.
"Is it a money issue?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"I can see that you are rich, but money is not the most important thing. The main thing is whether her mother is willing! Second, this operation still needs the approval of the hospital's ethics office!" said the expert.
