Chapter 104: Critical Illness
I didn't know when Han Anli left in the end, but I only knew that I had held him and talked to him for a long time. I told him all the feelings I had suppressed. I felt my entire body relaxed. I haven't spoken Chinese in a long time. That night, when I spoke in my mother tongue and shared my thoughts, I felt extremely happy. 2
When I woke up the next morning, I felt the warmth of my home for the first time in this small dormitory. I felt that I wasn't wandering outside alone. I still had Han Anli best friend. I had gained new confidence in my future life. Previously, I felt that living in the United States was meaningless. I just stayed here reluctantly for the sake of an agreement.
At this moment, my mentor sent me a message asking me to go to his office immediately. He rarely came to see me so early. He was a Chinese American, so he took special care of me. He probably couldn't move in this society because of his skin. However, he had earned him respect through his efforts. He was also my goal of learning and imitating.
I quickly put on my clothes and washed up before leaving the dormitory.
The teacher took out a list of exchange students and said to me," Hey, China school gave us a few exchange students. You are China. I think this opportunity is very suitable for you."
I looked at the information given to me by my teacher in surprise. That university was the school I had attended and was in my hometown. I really didn't want to accept this opportunity because I' ve already promised Lin Yan I won't go back again. How could I breach the contract and go back? After hesitating, I said," Teacher, thank you very much for your kindness. I don't want to trade."
And now, I have a good impression of America. I really want to find some new friends here to start a new life.
The teacher asked in surprise," You're China person, do n' t you want to go home?" He had always heard that I had never returned home in the past few years, so he had given this opportunity to me.
This exchange wasn't something anyone could do. Only students with excellent results would have this opportunity. Furthermore, I was China person who could help those students who went to exchange with each other to get used to the environment better. He couldn't think of anyone better qualified for this position. I really want to go home and have a look. I miss my hometown, and I also understand that as long as I have the opportunity to exchange, I can get my graduation certificate earlier. This could be a huge temptation for me, but because of the agreement, I could only resist it.
The teacher looked at my hesitant expression and said," I know you're still hesitating. How about this form? If you want to go, fill out this form." As he spoke, he handed me a form.
I took the form and thanked him before walking out of the teacher's office. My mentor was the only one who didn't discriminate against me. On the contrary, he cared about me every day. This was the first person who cared about me and loved me in a foreign country. I knew that this opportunity must have come from him.
It was just that I couldn't reject him so directly right now. I thought I could reject him in a few days. This would n' t hurt his heart.
As soon as I left the teacher's office, I opened my phone and saw my mother's countless missed calls. According to the time difference, it was already China midnight.
My first reaction was that something had happened to my father's body. Previously Lin Yan had told me that she had already found the best doctor to treat my father's body, but because his father had never had the money to go deeper into the treatment, and his body had not recovered properly after the last operation. As a result, the mild symptoms started to slowly ferment and eventually became incurable.
Furthermore, based on the medical technology in our country, my father could only temporarily relieve his symptoms and could not cure him. It was at that time that I decided to come to the United States to study.
This was one of the reasons why I had always wanted to bring my parents to the United States. The United States had more advanced technology and had a great chance of curing my father's illness.
I anxiously called my mother and prayed that this would not happen.
"Mom, what's wrong?" I asked. This was the first time I had a phone call with my mother in the daytime since I had been here for so long. In the past, I used to accommodate my parents to sleep late because of jet lag.
At this moment, her mother's voice was heard from the phone. She said intermittently," Xiaoxi, your father ca n' t do it now." Originally, his father's body had become healthy because of the treatment, but recently, for some reason, his condition had actually deteriorated.
"What?" "Mom, calm down. What did the doctor say?" Although I was extremely anxious, I tried my best to calm my mother's emotions. After all, being calm was the most important thing. Lin Yan had hired the best doctors to compensate me. I still believed in the doctor's medical skills. After all, my father's illness had been going back and forth in the past three years, so I still wanted to hear the doctor's advice.
"Then, please tell me, doctor." Her mother couldn't explain her illness for a while. She could only pass the phone to the doctor, hoping that he could resolve my confusion.
My heart was lifted as well. I remembered that my father had coughed a little but looked very healthy when I was on the video call yesterday. Why did he look like this now?
"Hello, Miss Xue. Your father's condition is like this. He must undergo a second organ transplant." The doctor frowned. The severity of his illness had already surpassed his belief. He had never seen such a difficult condition before.
"What?" Before the doctor could finish, I interrupted him. I remember that my father only had an organ transplant for eight years. Why did he still need it now?
The doctor sighed and said," His organs suddenly have a rejection reaction. This kind of problem occurs when many organs are transplanted. However, your father's situation is quite special now. He only has a rejection reaction now." He was a doctor. Seeing his patient's pain, he felt helpless. Of course, he hoped that his patients could live a healthy life.
I nodded thoughtfully. I've heard of such things before, but I did n' t expect such things to happen to my father. This was too unfortunate.
"Then what should we do now?" I asked anxiously. Now, I wanted to fly back to my country immediately, so I didn't want to worry about the weird agreements. All of this wasn't as important as my own father's arrival. As long as I secretly returned home and didn't let Gu Yi know, then I could definitely go back to see my father.
The doctor came up with an idea and said," Miss Xue, since you could perform an organ transplant for your father eight years ago, you should be able to do so eight years later." The implication was that he was doing an operation for my father.
"It's just that." Halfway through the doctor's words, the doctor was worried. My father was almost sixty years old and had undergone a similar operation before. This operation would fail at any time. Currently, organ donation wasn't universal, and it was too difficult to find organs that matched my father's model in the vast crowd.
Moreover, even if they found a matching organ, it depended on whether the patient was willing to undergo a transplant. Even if they were willing, if the surgery failed. Then, even if the organs were scrapped, it would be a waste of resources. My father was not the only one waiting for his organs to save him.
I also knew the doctor's concern and said," You can use my organs." I was my father's biological daughter, so there was a great chance that I could successfully match my father.
"Miss Xue, you have to think about it. Actually, my personal suggestion is to let your father die without suffering." The doctor looked at his father struggling on the bed.
They had given my father morphine just now, but they couldn't suppress the pain in their hearts. They were in a hurry to waste their time. However, my mother did not agree to this. She still hoped that she would not give up on treating my father.
They had no choice but to ask for my opinion. They hoped that they could get some pertinent opinions from me. After all, the pain was not something that ordinary people could endure.
The moment I heard the word "death ", I completely lost my rationality. If my father died now, then what was the point of studying in a foreign country?
"You must not euthanize my father." I said in panic," Doctor, please think of a way to prolong my father's life for a few days."
I can't stand such a thing. I' ve been here for the past few years, struggling to think that I could bring my parents to the United States one day. But now, when I was about to graduate and have the ability to bring my parents over, something like this happened.
"Then Miss Xue, when can you come back to China to undergo organ matching surgery?" The doctor asked. With his current skills, he could probably help my father continue his life for a month.
However, with the matching test and surgery, the time seemed a little rushed.
"I'll book a flight today." I immediately hung up and headed to the airport to book a plane ticket to return home. This was the first time in three years that I had booked a plane ticket home so cleanly.
Previously, my father's situation had been in danger, but it was n' t that serious. I had been enduring the pain of being separated from my family, so I could finally go home this time. In addition to my anxiety and worry for my father, I also felt joy and joy when I went home. God knows how much I miss my hometown.
