Chapter 716: Pain Until She Cried
“Okay, Madam. I agree.” Doctor Jian looked at his wrist.w.a.tch. “However, I don’t have much time. That kid still needs an injection in a while.”
“I know, I know. I won’t take up too much of your time.”
Song Wan hurriedly said. She was also afraid something would happen to Rainy, and she would hurt. She only wanted to borrow this doctor for a while and would return him as soon as possible.
Doctor Jian followed Song Wan to see Chu Xiang. When he arrived, it really was a child. Before he even got near her, he heard the child crying loudly.
“Madam, the child cannot cry like that. Did you not tell her?” He thought children who were five or six could understand. If she continued to cry loudly like that, it would not do any good to her body and would just hurt her even more.
“She’s still little.” Song Wan knew, but the child was still young.
“Little?” Doctor Jian flipped through Chu Xiang’s medical records. “Madam, this child is already six. My small patient is not even four, and when her mother told her not to cry, she listened obediently. Her pain is definitely not any lesser than hers, but that child’s wound did not tear open, not even once. Or is it because four-years-old is bigger than six?”
Song Wan’s face reddened from the doctor’s words and did not know how to reply.
Doctor Jian cut open the bandage to check Chu Xiang’s wound.
“The wound has been opened a few times. Even though it has been handled, it’s still not in good condition so she needs to go for surgery again.”
Surgery again? Song Wan’s face paled.
“It’s okay for adults, but for children…”
“Yes, because it had already suppurated inside. Luckily, only the wound has a problem. The transplanted kidney is decent, and the blood flow is normal. Oh, can I ask whose kidney did she get? A dead one or a live one?”
Song Wan felt her heart tightened, and she was stunned.
“Live.” She replied after a while, and she spoke with much difficulty and bitterness.
“Oh, how old?”
Doctor Jian asked again and was already taking notes on his book.
“Four. Girl.”
“A four-year-old girl?” Doctor Jian’s hand stopped in motion. Then, he stared at Song Wan’s face. “Madam, can I ask… did this child take the kidney from my small patient?”
How could there be such a coincidence in the world? One lost a kidney, and the other took a kidney transplant surgery. Also, there was only one four-year-old patient here.
Song Wan’s mouth opened and closed a few times before she finally nodded. However, the word ‘yes’ was too difficult for her to even utter.
“What you’re doing is illegal. It’s against human rights.” Doctor Jian’s face darkened and was furious. “Even though she’s young and immature, how could you take a kidney forcefully from an innocent, healthy four-year-old girl?”
Song Wan was scolded until she could not say a word. She could not even defend or explain herself because all of this was her doing. She did it. However, she did not know; she really did not. She never wanted Rainy’s kidney… she wanted someone else’s. However, no matter which girl it was, whether she did it on purpose or not; it was not the point.
Now, the kidney operating in Chu Xiang’s body was Rainy’s small kidney.
Doctor Jian was as red as a beetroot. He would never do such immoral deeds. However, no matter how cruel the adults were, children were always the innocent ones.
“Prepare to do surgery now,” he told the nurse beside him.
“Surgery?” The nurse was stunned. What surgery?
Not long after, a few doctors came in, and Doctor Jian explained to them about the surgery. Actually, they all had this decision; but they did not come up with a concrete plan and did not decide who to be the main surgeon. Doctor Jian had done this type of surgery before so he was very experienced. If they could stand aside and watch, they would benefit a lot from it. If the surgery was a success, then Chu Xiang would be out of the danger of getting an infection.
Not long later, Chu Xiang was pushed into the operating theater. No one expected this surgery to take a few hours.
By that time, Rainy was already awake.
“Mommy, Rainy is in pain.” The small child pulled on her mother’s finger and kept yelling in pain.
“Mommy will hoo-hoo, and then it won’t hurt anymore.” Xia Ruoxin held back her tears and caressed her daughter’s face. Then, she lowered her body and pressed her face against her chest.
“Rainy, you must behave. Listen to Mommy, we won’t move. We can’t move. Once you move, it’ll hurt even more.”
“Mm.” Rainy sucked on her thumb and clenched her hands into a small fist to put inside her mouth to bite. She told herself, Rainy needed to behave. Rainy was not scared of pain. It did not hurt anymore after Mommy’s hoo-hoo. Yes, Rainy could not move. Could not move.
Just that, she kept crying in pain.
Chu Lui came in and saw his daughter holding her first and choking from time to time. However, she was really obedient and did not move even though her small body shuddered in pain from time to time.
He walked over and placed a doll in front of his daughter.
Rainy extended her hand and smiled weakly. “Thank you, Uncle.” Then, she hugged the dolly with one hand; and her head was leaning against her mother. However, her fist was still in her mouth; and from her expression, one could tell that she was in enormous pain. The poor child could really endure. For this point, she was really like her mother and father.
“Where’s Doctor Jian?” Chu Lui waited for half a day and still did not see the overseas doctor. Every time Rainy woke up, he would administer a type of medicine into Rainy’s drip which would relieve her pain in a while; and she would go back to sleep. None of them could bear to see Rainy suffer; even Chu Jiang only dared to come when Rainy was sleeping, and Su Yunfei would cry every time she came and left until Du Jingtang did not even dare let his mother come. He was afraid that her tears would make the other people uncomfortable as well.
“Where did that western doctor go?”
“He hadn’t come in a long time.” Xia Ruoxin held her daughter’s hand. Rainy fell back asleep, but she slept while crying.
Chu Lui walked over and carefully adjusted his daughter’s drip speed before pulling her small hand. At this time, her hand was swollen like a small bread. Luckily, they did not need to take the needle out. If not, injecting the small child with the needle every day into her thin blood vessels would be unbearable.
He gently held his daughter’s fist and saw that it was filled with bite marks. As a grown man, he actually almost cried. He carefully placed his daughter’s hands down and used the blanket to cover her properly.
