Chapter 10.2
Chapter 10 Part 2
Ye Qiao’s mother, Qianxi’s aunt, discovered that she had stage 4 breast cancer
when Ye Qiao was just 12 years old . In the same year, Ye Qiao was hospitalized
with Myocarditis . Doctors advised the family to let Ye Qiao get a heart transplant
as soon as possible . Ye Qiao’s mother couldn’t accept the heavy blow on top of
her own illness and succ.u.mbed to the cancer and depression in less than a year .
The originally happy and harmonious family was broken into pieces by illness and
death .
Sometime later, Ye Qiao finally received a matching heart after a long wait and
right before her heart deteriorated too much to allow for a transplant . However,
after she recovered from the transplant, she became estranged from her father .
Ye Qiao lived like an orphan after that and her personality also changed . She
was once a top student but after 2 years’ absence from school, she suddenly
decided to study performing arts . Later on, her father married a new wife,
Cheng Su . The distance between father and daughter further increased .
Qianxi twitched her lips for a while, then decided to speak up anyway: “Let me
mention her for the last time!” She put both hands on her head as a shield: “I
heard Aunty Cheng is preparing to get pregnant lately… . . . They want another
child . ”
Ye Qiao’s expression distorted slightly: “Where did you hear that?”
“From my dad . A few days ago, my dad met Uncle and Aunty Cheng at the
hospital . They were there to see a gynecologist . ”
Cheng Su was 10 years younger than her father, 37 this year . It would be a
bit hard for her to get pregnant, but there was always the possibility that she
could get pregnant .
Ye Qiao brought out a box of fresh milk and took a sip: “They didn’t tell me . ”
“You didn’t tell me . ”
That was what Ye Qiao’s primary doctor told her .
Ye Qiao said: “It isn’t too serious . I always have insomnia, but lately I sometimes
feel like I’m hearing things, my brain seems slower, and occasionally I want to die .
Am I alright?”
“I suggest that you take a psychiatric exam . ” Her doctor wrote down on her
medical chart: “It’s common for patients who have gone through major illness to
experience mental issues . Nearly 50% of all heart transplant patients experience
depression within two years after their operation . Your case is somewhat special,
but we shouldn’t treat it lightly . ”
Ye Qiao looked forwards: “Is there any possibility that the owner of my
transplanted heart is affecting me?”
The doctor stopped writing . The patient in front of him was quietly looking at him,
The doctor stopped writing . The patient in front of him was quietly looking at him,
yet she seemed to be looking through him at something else . This only further
confirmed the doctor’s belief in the necessity of Ye Qiao receiving a psychiatric
evaluation: “This kind of talks is popular among patients, but there’s no scientific
evidence to prove at the present time that the personality of the donor can affect
the recipient . ”
Ye Qiao said: “Thank you, doctor . ”
In the hallway of the hospital, where the endless cycle of life and death has played
out accompanied by the smell of disinfectant .
Qianxi got up from the blue chair in the waiting area: “How was it, cousin,
everything alright?”
“En, there’s no sign of rejection . ”
Everything was fine; only that heart in her chest distinctly seemed to wish her dead .
For the next week, Ye Qiao didn’t see Zhou Tingsheng again .
The apartment was designed with privacy in mind . Though the two doors were only
3 meters away, as long as the owners didn’t want to show their faces, then they
would never meet .
It was already early September . The rain had finally let up in G City . It was sunny,
yet the temperature was getting lower .
Autumn was coming .
