Chapter 503 Personal Thanks
Seeing Ji Wan come in, a hint of just the right amount of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "Ji Wan, why did you come here in person? Come and sit down."
"I came to see how you were recovering."
Ji Wan placed the imported fruit basket and some high-end supplements in his hands on the bedside table, his eyes full of sincere gratitude.
"Sun Zhou, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, thinking of her..."
When she thought of her daughter's life hanging by a thread, her voice choked and she couldn't continue.
"Don't say that. It's my duty and my honor to help Nian Nian." Sun Zhou signaled the nurse to leave first, leaving only the two of them in the ward.
He leaned against the headboard, his voice slightly weaker due to the surgery, but his smile was still as gentle as jade: "How is Nian Nian? Is she awake? Is she okay?"
"She's awake. The doctor came to check on her this morning and said she's recovering very well and her vital signs are stable."
Ji Wan sat down on the chair beside the bed, looked at him carefully, and asked with concern.
"How about you? How are you feeling after the surgery? Does the wound still hurt?"
"I'm fine. It was just a minor surgery. I can feel a little better now after the anesthesia wore off. I'm feeling much better now. I'll be back to full strength in a few days."
Sun Zhou brushed it off lightly, his smile unchanged, as if he had just done something insignificant. "You don't have to take it too seriously, and don't worry about me."
Ji Wan stared at him. This man who had left a deep mark on her youth had now become her daughter's savior in such a way.
This kindness is as heavy as Mount Tai.
She pulled out a bank card she had prepared long ago from her bag and gently placed it next to the fruit basket on Sun Zhou's bedside table. "Sun Zhou, here's two million. I know this isn't enough to express my gratitude, and it can't buy your health, but it's truly a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Sun Zhou's eyes fell on the bank card. He didn't touch it, but frowned slightly. Then he gently refused: "Ji Wan, what are you doing? I donated bone marrow voluntarily to save the child, not for money. Take this back quickly."
"I understand. This is certainly not a transaction." Ji Wan's attitude was extremely firm. She pushed the bank card closer to him, her tone earnest.
"This is a life-saving favor. Measuring it with money is itself a blasphemy. But this money represents Nian Nian and my gratitude to you, and it also gives me peace of mind. You have given so much for Nian Nian, and your health needs to be taken care of. This money will give you peace of mind. If you don't accept it, I will have a guilty conscience for the rest of my life."
Her eyes were clear and firm, with an unyielding determination.
Sun Zhou looked at her, and his eyes, which always showed a gentle smile, now seemed a little deep.
The ward fell silent for a moment, with only the occasional bird calls outside the window.
A few seconds later, Sun Zhou suddenly laughed softly, and that laugh dispelled the slight tension in the ward.
He reached out his hand, his slender fingertips picking up the bank card, and casually twirled it between his fingers: "Okay, since you've said it this far, if I refuse again, it would seem too hypocritical and too unkind."
He casually placed the bank card on the cabinet beside his pillow, his tone returning to a relaxed tone, "Then I'll take it. But don't be so polite to me in the future, or I'll be angry."
Seeing that he finally accepted it, Ji Wan felt relieved and a slightly relieved smile finally appeared on his face.
"Of course. Rest well and take care of your health. If you need anything or feel uncomfortable, please feel free to contact me or the nurse."
"Yes, I will." Sun Zhou nodded, his smile still gentle. "You too, it must be very hard to take care of Nian Nian. Don't overwork yourself and take care of yourself."
Ji Wan gave some detailed instructions on post-operative recuperation before getting up to say goodbye.
Sun Zhou watched with a smile as Ji Wan's figure disappeared behind the door. It wasn't until the door to the ward was gently closed, isolating him from the outside world that the gentle smile on his face slowly receded like the tide, replaced by a complex and indistinguishable depth.
He turned his head and picked up the bank card on the cabinet. His fingertips gently stroked the cold card surface. Deep in his eyes, a gleam of ambiguous meaning flashed by.
Coming out of Sun Zhou's ward, Ji Wan felt a slight sense of relief in his chest because he accepted the bank card, but now he felt a heavy emotion again.
The air still had the fresh smell of disinfectant. She let out a long breath, and Nian Nian's small face appeared clearly in her mind.
This great news must be told to Zhao Xiyue.
No matter what Zhao Xiyue had done, she was Nian Nian's biological mother after all, and had the right to share this joy and peace of mind.
Ji Wan took out his cell phone, slid his fingertips across the screen, found the number he knew by heart, and dialed it.
The call was connected almost immediately, and Zhao Xiyue's voice was almost neurotically tense and hurried: "Ji Wan? Is it Nian Nian..."
"Nian Nian's bone marrow transplant went smoothly and she has passed the most critical period."
Ji Wan's voice was calm, but every word was clear, like a stone thrown into a deep pool, causing a sudden surge of waves on the other side.
There was a dead silence on the other end of the phone, followed by an uncontrollable, trembling inhalation, and then, Zhao Xiyue's crying broke out without warning, like a flood that had been accumulating for a long time and found an outlet, surging and surging.
"It went well? God has mercy on us! Nian Nian, my Nian Nian..." Her voice was fragmented by her crying, and every word was soaked with the ecstasy of escaping from a desperate situation.
"The doctor said the situation is very optimistic, but careful care will be needed in the future." Ji Wan added, his tone still restrained.
"I want to see her, Ji Wan, please, let me see her, I'll go there now!" Zhao Xiyue's voice was filled with a desperate plea. The anxiety and longing that belonged to a mother penetrated the receiver and hit Ji Wan's heart directly.
Ji Wan was silent for a moment: "She is in the sterile observation room, you can only see through the glass, the address is..."
After saying this, she hung up the phone and told the hospital security to let Zhao Xiyue in.
Before, she was afraid that this woman would cause trouble, so she didn't let anyone in.
Half an hour later, at the end of the corridor in the VIP ward area, Zhao Xiyue's figure rushed over in an almost staggering posture.
Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was covered with tears, and her whole body exuded an aura of exhaustion and excitement after extreme excitement.
