Before the young Yuan Jie could think any more, the image quickly jumped to the ward.
Sun Xiaohao's mental state is deteriorating. His face is pale and swollen. Due to chemotherapy, his hair is now sparse and almost gone.
Facing the middle-aged Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin, he pleaded bitterly: "Dad, Mom, I don't want to die. Please find a way to save me! I don't want chemotherapy anymore. When can you find a suitable bone marrow donor? I am in so much pain now. I feel like I am going to die at any moment..."
Yuan Jie listened to Sun Xiaohao's painful plea, feeling heartbroken and tears streaming down her face.
They could no longer comfort Sun Xiaohao as before. They would do their best to help him find his biological parents and implore their family members to perform a bone marrow matching test. Sun Xiaohao's recent inactivity, coupled with Shi Xuejiao's instigation, had driven him to increasing despair. He was fully aware of his biological parents' reluctance to save him and their negative attitude.
Qian Niandi, who had agreed to undergo a bone marrow matching procedure, had, for unknown reasons, been out of contact since saying goodbye to Yuan Jie, and the bone marrow matching procedure was out of the question. Perhaps her family knew of her decision and were interfering.
It was originally thought that with the help of the recent online popularity, Qian Jindou, Zhan Jinhua and even members of these two families could be forced to show up, but the opposite happened. All videos and topics related to this incident disappeared almost overnight.
Zhang Lin's repeated attempts to post his saved recordings online were unsuccessful, each time deemed to be in violation of regulations. Ultimately, not only was his video unsuccessful, but his account, which had already amassed tens of thousands of followers, was also blocked.
The Sun and Yuan families had no idea how deep the water was, but it was certain that the road ahead was full of thorns.
Relying on blood relatives to save Sun Xiaohao seems to be out of the question. The bone marrow bank has not been able to find a matching donor, and everyone can only watch Sun Xiaohao's life slip away.
Yuan Jie couldn't think of any good way to break the deadlock, so she could only deceive herself and comfort Sun Xiaohao: "Son, don't get excited. Emotional fluctuations are not good for your condition. Your parents have been trying to communicate with your biological parents, but now, they have blocked us all..."
Before Yuan Jie finished speaking, Sun Xiaohao's expression changed from pitiful pleading to a furious state.
He used all his strength to sweep everything off the bedside table, sending it crashing to the floor. Among them was the chicken soup Sun Aimin had just brought, simmered for over ten hours, and the nutritious porridge with various ingredients. The scene was as disastrous as it could be. He kept shouting, "Don't get excited! Don't get excited! If it were you who were going to die, how could you not get excited? What's the point of saying these sarcastic things?"
Over the past few months, Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin haven't had a single day of rest or a good night's sleep. They've been busy running around for Sun Xiaohao, taking care of his daily needs and trying to get him the best possible treatment. They've also suffered a lot trying to find a family member who could save his life.
However, he never seemed to be grateful or feel sorry for Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin. Losing his temper and throwing things had become commonplace, and Sun Aimin's patience was almost worn out by him.
How many tears Yuan Jie shed after Sun Xiaohao was diagnosed, how much weight she lost, how many white hairs she had, and how haggard her face became compared to before, all of this fell into Sun Aimin's eyes.
This time, when Sun Xiaohao used the same old trick again, yelling at the two and using this trick to control them, Sun Aimin finally couldn't help but explode: "Don't we want to save your life? From the time you got sick until now, how busy and tired we are, don't you see at all? When will you be able to understand me and your mother? Do you know how much we have been through to help you find your relatives? What gives you the right to keep losing your temper with us?
We honestly believe we've done nothing wrong to you, so don't act like we owe you anything. If you have the ability, go talk to your biological parents and force them to donate bone marrow for you. Fighting with us here won't achieve anything!"
This was the first time that Sun Aimin had spoken such harsh words to Sun Xiaohao since he fell ill. Sun Xiaohao was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
After two seconds, Sun Xiaohao suddenly sneered and said stubbornly, "Look, you're finally telling the truth, right? I know you've been giving up on me for a long time, right? In that case, all of you can go. I'll grant your wish. I won't need treatment for my illness. I won't live for many more days anyway, so I'll just wait here for death!"
The same trick always works on Yuan Jie. As long as he shows this attitude, Yuan Jie will always give in to him immediately.
Compared to Sun Aimin, he is better at controlling Yuan Jie. Perhaps women are too sentimental, or perhaps, he has a different meaning to Yuan Jie.
Yuan Jie has always believed that he is her biological child, the fruit of her love with Sun Aimin, so no matter what, Yuan Jie has never thought of giving up Sun Xiaohao. Even after knowing that Sun Xiaohao is not her child, that kind of feeling has already penetrated into her bones and cannot be easily erased.
What's more, she didn't know where her own biological son was or whether he was still alive. If Sun Xiaohao also disappeared, what would her twenty years of life be worth?
But this time, his trick didn't seem to work on Yuan Jie.
The obstacles and troubles Yuan Jie encountered in Mafang City over the past few days had made her more rational. Recalling Sun Xiaohao's past, the various mishaps he'd gotten into, the anger he'd caused her, the people he'd embarrassed her to meet, she'd always blamed herself for all of it. Was it because she didn't understand education? Was she too doting on him, too indulgent?
After spending the past few days with Qian Jindou and Qian Longfei, a new thought had arisen. Is it possible that a person's character and conduct are innate? No matter how well nurtured, it's difficult to change something fundamental. Whenever something happens, that nature is exposed. While the scientific and rational nature of this idea is impossible to verify, it made Yuan Jie secretly breathe a sigh of relief. It felt as if she had found an outlet for the various grievances she'd endured over the past twenty years, finally shaking off an invisible mountain of pressure.
