When she arrived at the hospital, it was exactly 10 a.m. The hospital director and several doctors had just finished their rounds with Wan Niang and saw her as they came out.
"Dr. Ruan, you're here! I was just about to call you. We found a matching bone marrow donor, and it came out this morning." The hospital director greeted her immediately and happily told her about the bone marrow discovery.
"Oh, who is she matched with?" Ruan Ruan didn't expect it to go so smoothly, finding someone in less than half a month.
"You might not believe it, but the person she was matched with was her son. During this time, Li Yunda was being criticized and educated, right? So he left his son with a friend in the countryside to be taken care of. After he was released, he was busy with his own check-ups and taking care of patients, and he completely forgot about his son. If his friend hadn't brought his son to see his mother yesterday, he wouldn't have remembered his son at all. Tell me, what kind of father would forget his own child?"
So, yesterday I told him about his mother's situation, and he agreed to do a bone marrow match. And you know what? Mother and son, even though they have the same blood, are different! We were all overjoyed when the results came back this morning. Now, we'll have to trouble Dr. Ruan for the rest.”
Now that the bone marrow has been found, the surgery depends on Ruan Ruan; none of these old guys have the ability to do it.
"Okay, I'll go check on them first, then I'll come find you so we can discuss the surgery."
It seems today is truly a good day. They managed to find such hard-to-find bone marrow, which only proves that their family's good fortune is yet to come!
"Okay, I'll wait for you in my office. Go see them first. They'll be so happy to see you." Seeing this person who brought hope to their family might improve the patient's mood and help schedule the surgery sooner.
After parting ways with the dean and the others, Ruan Ruan went to Wan Niang's ward alone. When she arrived, the ward door was open, and the family was chatting and laughing, with the other patients in the nearby beds also laughing happily.
"What's wrong? Tell me, so I can share in your joy!"
"Dr. Ruan, you're here. This is my son. The hospital director just told us that my son's bone marrow matches mine. Dr. Ruan, is this surgery really harmless to my son?" When the hospital director told her that her son's bone marrow matched his, she was very happy. She was saved. How could she not be happy? But looking at her young child in front of her, she was still very worried. She couldn't let her son's future be affected because of her.
Looking at the thin child next to her, who was probably malnourished, his hair was dry and yellow, but his clothes were very clean, so it seemed that they were taking good care of the child.
"Don't worry, it won't cause any major harm to the child. He just looks a bit malnourished right now. Let's feed him some good food these days to help him recover before we proceed with the surgery. With proper care, he'll recover faster."
As she spoke, she waved to the children.
The child looked at his mother and knew that this was the doctor they had talked about who could save her. She looked so gentle and had such a beautiful smile.
After getting his parents' permission, he obediently walked up to Ruan Ruan.
"Are you scared?" Ruan Ruan squatted down to be at eye level with him, looking into his bright eyes, and asked. Although they said they had the child's consent, she still wanted to ask, afraid of leaving an indelible mark on his young heart.
"Doctor, I'm not afraid. The hospital director told me I'll be safe. The bone marrow can grow back and save my mom. I'm so happy," the child said with a smile.
"Okay, you're such a good boy. In the meantime, you need to eat more and take good care of yourself so we can work together to save your mother, understand?"
It is said that children from poor families mature early. This child is so sensible at such a young age, and Ruan Ruan was moved by what he said.
Not wanting him to see the tears welling up in her eyes, she straightened up, took out 10 yuan from her pocket, and stuffed it into his hand. "This is the money your sister lent to your father to buy you nutritional supplements. After your mother gets better, have him work for your sister to pay back the money."
"Okay, sister, I understand. Don't worry, my dad and I will definitely pay you back." Whether it's the money, or his mother's life-saving grace, or the help he's given to his whole family, he will repay it all when he grows up.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you." After making the agreement with the child, Ruan Ruan looked at Wan Niang and Li Yunda. They were both looking at her with grateful eyes, which made Ruan Ruan feel a little uncomfortable.
"Then let the mother and child eat well these days to replenish their nutrition. I'll go and discuss the surgery time with the hospital director, and he will inform you when the time comes."
With that, she quickly left the ward and headed towards the dean's office.
After she left, the other patients in the ward said, "Wan Niang, is this the doctor who saved you? He's so young!"
"Yes, that's right, he's really young and promising!"
"Wan Niang, do you really believe her?"
“Auntie, you don’t need to say that. I believe in Dr. Ruan. Besides, the doctors in the hospital all say that Dr. Ruan is a rare medical genius. No matter what, I believe in her.” Wan Niang’s family had thought it through very clearly. She had helped them so much. No matter what the final outcome was, they were willing to accept it and had prepared for the worst.
She didn't know what happened in the ward, and even if she did, she wouldn't argue much. In the face of true strength, everything else is insignificant; she had known this principle since she was a child.
