Chapter 857: In Bad Shape
Ji Ya went straight to the hospital after leaving the university, but she did not visit her grandfather immediately. Instead, she went to the hospital director’s office.
The hospital director was in charge of treating her grandfather.
“After your grandfather underwent chemotherapy twice, he suffered some complications. If we still can’t get the right bone marrow in time, even if we manage to perform surgery on him, the chances of him getting a relapse is very high,” explained the hospital director patiently.
Ji Ya frowned when she heard this. She knew what the hospital director was trying to say. If they did not treat her grandfather as soon as possible, the chances of relapse were high even if they gave her grandfather matching bone marrow.
Her grandfather was suffering from leukemia, and it was hard to say if he was strong enough to undergo another surgery when he suffered a relapse.
Things were genuinely looking bad for him.
“Is there anything else that we can do?” asked Ji Ya hoa.r.s.ely. She refused to give up.
The hospital director looked at Ji Ya and felt moved by her love for her grandfather.
Even Old Master Song’s paternal grandchildren did not ask the hospital director about his condition. Instead, this maternal granddaughter of his always checked on him. Her love for her grandfather was very moving.
The hospital director shook his head and said, “The only option is a bone marrow transplant.”
“But we can’t get a matching bone marrow…” said Ji Ya, laughing powerlessly.
The hospital director sighed. His a.s.sistant came in from outside and said a few words to him. The hospital director stood up and said, “Sorry. I have to go perform surgery now.”
Ji Ya nodded to him politely. “Please go ahead.”
“Uh huh.” The hospital director nodded.
Before long, the hospital director swiftly left.
Ji Ya thought about what the director had said when she left his office. She was really worried.

Meanwhile, at the hospital ward.
Other than Old Master Song and Song Qi, her older brother was around as well. His name was Song Zhi.
Old Master Song had just done chemotherapy and was still unconscious. The statistics showing up on the medical equipment did not bode well, but it was not a life and death situation yet.
Song Qi sighed. “If we don’t find a suitable bone marrow for Dad, things are going to get worse.”
Song Zhi was in his forties. He was dressed in a suit and was in a bad mood. “Nothing can happen to him.”
Although Old Master Song had left most of the family business to the younger generation, he still held a lot of power in the clan.
They had a large complicated family tree. If anything happened to Old Master Song, the family would go into chaos. Also, the other elite families in the capital would hit them while they were down.
If anything happened to Old Master Song, the family would risk losing power in the capital.
Song Qi was keenly aware of this as well, so she was particularly concerned about Old Master Song’s health.
She was a Song. Although her husband’s family was even more powerful than them, life would be hard for her at the Ji family without the support of the Song family.
Elite families were all about power with no love to speak of.
The more Song Qi thought about this, the more worried she felt. Zhu had just called to report that he lost sight of Huo Yao’s car, so she was not in a good mood.
She said coldly, “Ning is simply heartless. Our father is so sick, but she doesn’t care at all.”
The moment Song Zhi heard Song Qi suddenly talk about Song Ning, he looked at Song Qi and said in surprise, “Did you go see Ning?”
Song Ning was the eldest in the family.
Song Qi replied in contempt. “That’s right. I visited her two months ago. She refused to see me and was even rude to Zhu. She warned us not to provoke her or the Huos.”
