Chapter 3 Reencounter with Xu Qingyan
After more than ten years of hard work, when they turned 15, the mother and daughter finally established themselves in Haicheng and had a good career. Although life was hard, it was peaceful and fulfilling.
However, a sudden illness shattered the peace and quickly took away the vitality and life.
When she was 16, she suddenly fainted at school, and her classmates and teachers immediately took her to the hospital.
When Ye Ran arrived at the hospital, the doctor's diagnosis came out. The test results showed that Manman's left kidney had begun to fail and needed to be surgically removed immediately, otherwise it would endanger her life.
Ye Ran was completely terrified on the spot. Fortunately, her friend who came with her made a snap decision to have surgery immediately, and the doctors then began to organize a team to start a consultation.
The important thing was that Ye Ran needed to raise the money for the surgery. At that time, Ye Ran had just used most of her savings to build her career, so the surgery fee was an astronomical figure for her.
Fortunately, during her more than ten years in Haicheng, she made many good friends. When these friends heard about her situation, they each lent her a sum of money. Together with her remaining savings, she finally managed to raise enough money for the surgery.
As Manman slowly began to recover after the surgery, Ye Ran breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how much money she spent or how difficult life might be in the future, as long as her daughter was still alive, she felt it was God's mercy on her and still had boundless courage to face life.
But God did not have mercy on this poor mother and daughter. A month after the surgery, Manman's condition suddenly deteriorated, and she was found to have started to fail in her right kidney.
Ye Ran was completely bewildered. Why was God treating her and her daughter this way? Hadn't they encountered enough difficulties in their lives?
Even Manman's attending physician couldn't bear it anymore and used all his connections to transfer Manman to Beijing People's Hospital.
This was the best hospital at the time, and the best doctors in the country gathered here. If Manman could still be saved, then she had to go there.
Ye Ran seized the last glimmer of hope and transferred her family business, which she had built up over many years in Haicheng, to a few friends who had helped her at a low price, as collateral for the medical expenses that her friends had raised for her.
With the remaining money after mortgaging it, and filled with hope, he went to Beijing.
The doctor at Beijing People's Hospital told her that the only way for her daughter to survive was to get her a healthy kidney transplant.
However, the kidney donor must be a match for the daughter's kidney. Generally speaking, kidneys from blood relatives are more likely to be a match. If a person has two kidneys, one can be donated to the daughter.
As if grasping at a straw, Ye Ran immediately underwent a matching surgery, but the result left her in despair; the matching was unsuccessful.
She walked aimlessly down the hospital corridor, where a mirror reflected an aged figure.
Because of her daughter's illness and years of setbacks, this once most beautiful girl in Liuye Village has become an old woman with a full head of white hair, wrinkles, and a withered appearance.
The once vibrant spirit in his eyes had vanished, and his wrinkled face had lost its former luster.
Looking at herself like this, Ye Ran couldn't help but murmur, "How did I become like this?"
Suddenly, another person's figure appeared in the mirror, causing Ye Ran's eyes to widen instantly. It was Xu Qingyan, whom she hadn't seen for almost 20 years.
So many years have passed, yet he doesn't look old at all. He even looks more energetic than when he was in Willow Leaf Village. His face, without a single wrinkle, carries a refined smile, clearly showing that he has lived a very comfortable life all these years, which is why he has such an air about him.
