0192 Restoration of Sight
A month later, they finally received good news.
The doctor they commissioned found a suitable cornea for Jiang Jifan in England. Upon learning this, Tantai Qing was overjoyed and hugged her, laughing, "Jifan, you are going to regain your sight."
Jiang Jifan then realized that he had been working hard to find a treatment opportunity for her.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved; she was very excited, but after calming down, she worried that the surgery might not be successful and that she had placed too much expectation on herself.
Seeing her worry, Tantai Qing put his arm around her shoulder, gently kissed her forehead, and comforted her, "Jifan, don't worry, the surgery will definitely be successful."
Upon learning that the donor's deadline was approaching, Tantai Qing completed all the formalities that day and flew to England with Jiang Jifan the next day.
With the donor's consent, they visited the donor in person as soon as they landed in the UK.
The donor family were Chinese immigrants to the UK in their early years. Upon meeting them and seeing familiar Asian faces, they were very friendly.
The donor was a young girl who had just come of age. Born prematurely and suffering from congenital heart disease, she seemed to have long anticipated the day when her life would end. So when she met Jiang Jifan, she felt not sadness at all, but rather extreme relief.
Although she was overwhelmed and had to go first, a part of her body could still "warm" others in her place.
Tantai Qing and Jiang Jifan expressed their sincere gratitude to them and promised that if the donor were to die, they would find her the best burial plot in the UK.
"Thank you." The pale and thin girl leaning against the hospital bed gently curled her lips into a bright smile and thanked them in slightly accented Chinese.
The two did not stay in the ward for long. After handing over the gifts they had brought and set them off, they thanked the other person again and left.
Xiang Nannan learned the news the next day. She excitedly said she wanted to come to England to accompany Jiang Jifan. However, fearing that it would only disappoint everyone, Tantai Qing declined and told her to wait for good news at home.
Xiang Nannan was more obedient to him. Seeing this, she stopped making a fuss about going to England and just stayed at home waiting for their good news.
When she met the donor, she was already at her last gasp. A few days later, the kind and lovely little girl "carelessly" passed away one morning.
To ensure the success rate of the corneal transplant surgery, the hospital immediately scheduled the surgery for Jiang Jifan for the next day.
As expected, Jiang Jifan suffered from insomnia the night before the surgery.
"Don't be afraid, Ji Fan, the surgery will definitely not fail." Tantai Qing hugged her from behind, gently encouraging her and soothing her slightly anxious emotions.
He told her that the surgeon who would operate on her was a world-renowned ophthalmologist, and that no surgery performed by this doctor had ever failed.
Jiang Jifan was half-believing and half-doubting. After being comforted by him, he finally managed to fall asleep after a while, feeling a little anxious and nervous.
The following day, after waiting for several hours outside the operating room, Tantai Qing finally couldn't hold back his tears of excitement when the operating room doors opened and the surgeon came out to tell him that the surgery was successful. He then gratefully grasped the surgeon's hand and thanked him in English, saying, "Thank you! This is going to be the best news I've ever heard in my life."
After waking up from anesthesia, Jiang Jifan was taken back to his ward.
Tantai Qing kissed the back of her hand, his voice filled with undisguised joy: "Jifan, the surgery was a success. The doctor said your vision will be fully restored in a few months..."
Jiang Jifan's eyes were covered with thick gauze, so he couldn't see anything. Upon hearing this, a long-lost smile slowly appeared on his face.
"good."
Two weeks later, Jiang Jifan was finally able to remove the gauze and open her eyes. Having been deprived of light for so long, the blurry objects in the light were suddenly quite dazzling to her.
She looked down at her hands, then with trembling hands slowly stroked Tantai Qing's face, smiling through her tears, and said, "Taiqing, I see you."
Tantai Qing's eyes were also filled with tears, but upon hearing this, she smiled brightly.
Seeing the two holding hands and gazing at each other with tears in their eyes, a doctor couldn't help but step forward and remind them, "Beautiful lady, please don't cry; it will affect your eye recovery."
Upon hearing that crying would affect the recovery of his eyes, Jiang Jifan barely managed to stop crying, nodded, and turned to thank him.
Before leaving, the doctor warmly wished them eternal happiness.
Jiang Jifan smiled and said, "Yes."
After the doctor left, only the two of them remained in the ward.
Having not seen him for half a year, she was surprised to find that he had lost so much weight and looked much more haggard, his former charm diminished.
This was the second time she had seen him cry. Jiang Jifan gently wiped away his tears with her fingertips, cupped his face and said, "Don't cry, the doctor said I can't cry."
Tantai Qing held her hand, gently rubbed his face against it, and then leaned in to kiss her.
Jiang Jifan did not refuse; she closed her eyes, leaned in, hugged him, and returned the kiss.
