Chapter 200: Rainy Is Very Sick

“Yes, commonly known as ‘Leukemia’.” The doctor nodded but did not continue with his explanation while Xia Ruoxin felt her world being turned upside down abruptly. She had some ideas from the serious expression on the doctor’s face.
With her back facing the doctor, she bit on the back of her hand as her body trembled violently.
“This disease is not incurable as long as we can find a suitable bone marrow donor for her. The child is still young, and it was discovered in the early stage. We can treat her with chemotherapy to control her condition while searching for a donor.”
Every word the doctor said sent a severe chill into Xia Ruoxin’s heart.
Could the disease be treated?
In that instant, as she raised her shaking hand, she lost the will to live. Her Rainy was so young; she was only three years old.
She did not know how she could solve this. Not registering what the doctor had said after that, she wandered lifelessly into the ward that her daughter was in.
Rainy looked so tiny on the hospital bed as though she would disappear in the blink of the eye.
She ran over and placed her hand carefully on her daughter’s face. The fever was gone, but she knew that this was just the beginning.
Why? Why was heaven being so cruel to make her poor daughter sick, not her?
“Madam Xia, please come with us to arrange for the hospitalization.” The nurse stood waiting by the door as though she had been there for a while. Xia Ruoxin looked up and wiped her tears with her fingers.
She stood up and looked at Rainy who was deep asleep. Finally, she walked out. The rolls of numbers before her had caused an endless pain in her heart.
She did not have so much money. None at all. What should she do?
Biting her lip till it was almost bleeding, her hands balled into a fist. What about my money? What should I do?
“Please give me two days. I will definitely come and pay.” Xia Ruoxin turned and ran out. She must get the money no matter what. There were some savings, but it was barely enough. The amount was astronomical to her.
Yet, she must find a way. There’s no way she would allow her daughter to die; she couldn’t lose her.
“Mom.” There seemed to be a glimmer of hope in the darkness. Yes, Mom.
She wouldn’t be that heartless. That was her granddaughter after all. She must want to save Rainy. Right?
She stood resolutely before the entrance of the Xia condominium; it has been three years since she last came. It still looked the same. The trees at the entrance had grown thicker and taller which marked the pa.s.sing of three years. Time had gone by unknowingly.
Almost four years had pa.s.sed unconsciously. This was the first time she had stood here after she left. She thought that she would never return to this place, to look at everything here as she stood.
“Madam…” In the Xia household, the nanny had no idea how to approach her mistress.
“What is it?” Shen Yijun put the teacup down. She was already fifty years old, and yet she looked like she was in her early forties. Because she had always taken great care of maintaining herself, she looked youthful and elegant.
“Madam, there is a young woman at the door. S-she said…” The nanny fumbled.
