"Doctor Lu, the patient has lost vital signs."
"Prepare for the shock."
"Wait, the signs of life appear again."
“Drip…drip…drip…”
"What's your blood pressure?" "80"
"What's your pulse?" "60"
"The patient's condition has stabilized, and the operation is continuing."
A strange conversation vaguely rang in his ears. Lu Lingxi opened his eyes vaguely and vaguely saw the bright lights above his head. He moved his head slightly, but felt that his head was very heavy. He could only tilt it slightly and vaguely saw the overlapping figures around him.
"Where is this?"
Lu Lingxi thought blankly, trying to open his eyes to see clearly. His vision was blurry, and he blinked hard. Fragments of memory flashed. Yes, this is the hospital. He was undergoing surgery. His brother had health problems again. The doctor said his brother had acute renal failure. As his brother's HLA match, he was the best candidate for transplantation.
Lu Lingxi closed his eyes, and the image of his mother clutching his hand and crying seemed to be right in front of him.
"Xiao Xi, your brother's condition has worsened. You are the only one who can save him. You will save him, right?"
His father stood behind his mother, his face showing an obscure and complicated expression. He looked at his father and then at his mother, and nodded obediently.
"Good boy! Good boy!"
A light suddenly flashed in the mother's eyes, and she hugged him tightly, like a drowning man hugging the last piece of driftwood. He quietly nestled in his mother's arms, just like every time his brother had health problems and needed him to lie on the operating table. He was the good boy in his mother's eyes, and the value of his existence was for his brother, and he always knew it.
Lu Lingxi was born eighteen years ago in the Lu family of Zhongjing. His father, Lu Guangjing, is the youngest son of the Lu family, and his mother, Li Caiying, is the eldest daughter of the Li family. They are a perfect match, and the marriage between the Lu and Li families has made many people envious. But how can there be perfection in the world? Lu Guangjing and Li Caiying's first child, Lu Weian, was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia at the age of seven. When the initial test results came out, Lu Weian's condition was still in the chronic stage. Lu Guangjing and Li Caiying took Lu Weian to see doctors from all over the world, and the conclusion they got was that the only treatment method was allogeneic transplantation.
The chronic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia lasts for 3-4 years, which is enough time for the Lu family to find a suitable donor for Lu Weian. But compared to a non-blood donor, the doctor suggested that Lu Guangjing and Li Caiying have another child, and use the stem cells extracted from the newborn's umbilical cord blood to save Lu Weian. What the doctor said was very practical. Even if Lu Weian's transplant was successful, there was no guarantee that there would be no relapse in the future. The relapse rate after a successful leukemia transplant is very high. Instead of looking for a suitable donor every time, which may not be found, it is their best choice to have another child. Under the doctor's advice, Lu Guangjing and Li Caiying used sophisticated gene matching technology to conceive and give birth to Lu Lingxi, who has a perfect genetic match with Lu Weian.
From the day he was born, Lu Lingxi lived for his brother Lu Weian. He was his brother's shadow, the "drug reserve" for his brother's medical treatment, umbilical cord blood, stem cells, bone marrow... As long as his brother needed it, he would lie quietly on the operating table. Until this time...
"Xiao Xi, this is the last time, I promise."
On the night that Lu Lingxi agreed to donate, Lu Guangjing appeared in his room alone. Unlike Li Caiying, who was completely focused on the sick Lu Weian, Lu Guangjing tried his best to treat Lu Weian and Lu Lingxi equally.
Looking at his son who had been well-behaved and obedient since childhood, Lu Guangjing made his promise with difficulty. Lu Lingxi said nothing, but stared at Lu Guangjing with his dark eyes.
Lu Guangjing could not see any emotion in Lu Lingxi's eyes, neither happy nor unhappy. He wanted Lu Lingxi to say something, but Lu Lingxi just looked at him silently... Lu Guangjing looked away in embarrassment, and carefully touched Lu Lingxi's soft hair, saying as if to guarantee or promise: "Xiaoxi, after this operation, your father will send you to study abroad."
Studying abroad? For Lu Lingxi, this was a dream that was too far away. Ever since the car accident when he was in the third grade of elementary school, his mother refused to let him out of her sight. She hired a tutor for him and arranged for him to take classes at home. He understood that his mother was worried about his health, but he believed that his mother was worried that if something happened to him, he would not have time to give birth to another child to save his brother.
"Lu Lingxi, you are not someone's vassal. You should have your own life."
"Xiao Xi, this is the last time, I promise."
Dr. Su's words and his father's words appeared alternately in his mind. Lu Lingxi slowly closed his eyes and once again felt the deep fatigue rising from the bottom of his heart. If only this was really the last time...
"Doctor, why hasn't my son woken up yet? Didn't you say he would wake up in a day or two after the surgery? It's been almost a week. Are you trying to charge more?"
"Dear family member, the patient's surgery was very successful. His current coma is due to his body's self-healing process. He should wake up soon. Please be patient and wait."
"Wait, what are you waiting for? Do you know how much it costs to stay in the hospital for one day? Your hospital is so heartless, my son has not woken up yet, are you going to give me an explanation?"
"This family member..."
In the inpatient department of Fengcheng First Hospital, the doctor looked helplessly at the woman who was throwing a tantrum in front of him, and had a severe headache. The woman in front of him was called Wang Shuxiu, the mother of the patient in bed 20. From the time the patient was admitted to today, Wang Shuxiu had been making a fuss every day. She either complained about the nurse's bad attitude or questioned the hospital for charging too much. The nurse and doctor in charge of bed 20 were all miserable because of her. Fortunately, she only appeared in the afternoon every day, and disappeared at night. It was okay as long as she endured it for an hour or two.
"Doctor, tell me, why hasn't my son woken up yet?" Wang Shuxiu raised her eyebrows and pulled the doctor to stop him from leaving.
The doctor wanted to break free from Wang Shuxiu awkwardly, but he didn't dare to move too much. Wang Shuxiu was wearing too little, a black low-cut skirt, and the doctor felt that if he struggled a little, he might be called a hooligan.
None of the other family members in the same ward stepped forward to stop them, and they all watched the show with great interest. The patient in bed 20 was an 18-year-old boy. Although Wang Shuxiu kept calling him her son, she didn't look like a mother with such a big son.
There is a saying that goes, even if a beauty is acting like a spoiled brat, it can be forgiven. Wang Shuxiu is such a beauty. She is 42 years old this year, but she looks like she is in her early 30s. She has willow-shaped eyebrows, phoenix eyes, tall and plump figure. As long as she doesn't speak, her every move is full of charm. Unfortunately, her true nature is exposed as soon as she speaks. In addition, she has a worldly air. Although the family members in the same ward are willing to look at her a few more times, they are unwilling to deal with her.
While Wang Shuxiu was arguing with the doctor, the patient in bed 20 began to move slowly.
Lu Lingxi closed his eyes and felt a loud buzzing in his ears. He didn't know if it was a side effect of the surgery, but his head felt like it was being sawed back and forth, and it hurt. Lu Lingxi struggled to raise his hands, but his limbs didn't seem to obey his commands. He used up all his strength, but only moved his index finger slightly.
"It's so noisy!" Lu Lingxi tried to speak, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't speak.
"Hey, it's moving, it's moving!" someone shouted loudly.
"Wang Shuxiu, your son is moving." another voice reminded.
Wang Shuxiu, who was struggling with the doctor, quickly let go of the doctor's hand and rushed to the bedside.
"Lu Lingxi, you little bastard, you were born to piss me off to death, right?"
"Lu Lingxi, Lu Lingxi!"
Wang Shuxiu called out twice, but there was still no movement from the person on the bed. She immediately looked around in dissatisfaction, put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Which bastard said my son is awake? Come and see, what the hell is he awake?"
The two people who spoke earlier wanted to say something, but they were afraid of Wang Shuxiu's ability to curse, so they had no choice but to give in. Wang Shuxiu turned around and saw that the doctor had taken advantage of this opportunity to leave. She immediately became even more dissatisfied. She felt that they were fooling her just to please the doctor, and she immediately started to curse.
"It's so noisy!" Lu Lingxi finally managed to speak after countless attempts. He thought he was very loud, but to the people around him it was just a whisper. Fortunately, no one was talking in the ward at that time, and Wang Shuxiu heard it and immediately leaned over in front of him.
"Son, son, Lu Lingxi, you little bastard!"
After a series of calls, the young man on the hospital bed finally opened his eyes.
Wang Shuxiu laughed happily, "You little bastard, do you want to drive me crazy?"
Lu Lingxi blinked blankly, and a strange face appeared in front of him. He recognized the voice, which had been noisy in his ears.
Wang Shuxiu finally let go of her worries when she saw Lu Lingxi wake up. She said to Lu Lingxi excitedly, "Little bastard, they all said you were going to die, but I just didn't believe it. Look, you've been saved, haven't you? I've raised you up, and I haven't even had a single day of your happiness. If you're going to die, I'll have lost money over the years. I don't know where your damn father has gone, and he hasn't even shown up these days. Remember, you've been in the hospital for so many days, and all the money I've spent is my hard-earned money."
The woman in front of him kept talking. Lu Lingxi understood every word she said, but when they were put together, he had no idea what she meant. He watched the woman's mouth open and close, and finally took advantage of the gap to ask his question with difficulty.
"Who are you? Where are your father and mother?"
"What did you say, you little bastard! What are you trying to lie to me about father and mother?" Wang Shuxiu raised her eyebrows and slapped Lu Lingxi on the head.
"Don't hit the head!" The nurse who came in with the medicine shouted anxiously, but unfortunately she was a step too late.
Wang Shuxiu slapped him, and after Lu Lingxi opened his eyes for a few minutes, he fell into darkness again.
