My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away!-Chapter 24: Revised - Xiao Xun, why are you crying?
Chapter 24: Revised: Chapter 24 Xiao Xun, why are you crying?
When her father was imprisoned, she promised him that she would take good care of her mother and herself, but now... Lin Yixun’s eyes couldn’t help but redden. All along, it seemed that she hadn’t done anything well.
An hour later, the doors of the emergency room opened, and several doctors in white coats walked out. Lin Yixun jumped up from her seat and walked towards the chief doctor.
"Doctor Ji, how is my mother?"
Doctor Ji removed his mask. "It was a close call, but she’s out of danger now."
"That’s good, that’s good!" Lin Yixun felt a great weight lift off her tensed nerves.
Doctor Ji gave her a deep look. Maybe it was due to the excessive tension earlier, but her face was as pale as paper, and even her lips had no color. Feeling a bit of pity, he nonetheless had to inform her of Lin’s mother’s condition. Knowing the patient’s condition is a family member’s right.
"Miss Lin, for now, your mother’s condition isn’t life-threatening."
"What about in the future?" Lin Yixun couldn’t possibly misunderstand Doctor Ji’s implication.
Doctor Ji’s expression suddenly turned heavy. "Given your mother’s current physical state, she is no longer suitable for dialysis."
Lin Yixun’s lips trembled. "Doctor Ji, I don’t quite understand what you mean."
"Miss Lin..." Doctor Ji sighed helplessly. Knowing that Lin Yixun wanted to deceive herself, he had no choice but to shatter all her hopes. "Dialysis only treats the symptoms, but not the root cause. It can’t cleanse the toxins from your mother’s body. From the examination reports, all of your mother’s internal organs are showing varying degrees of failure. Without a matching organ, it will be very hard to hold on."
Lin Yixun’s face turned pale. "Doctor Ji, does the hospital have a matching organ for my mother now? I will find a way to handle the money."
"I’m sorry, Miss Lin. There is no suitable organ for your mother right now," Doctor Ji said solemnly. "Currently, there is a nationwide shortage of organs, and many people are waiting in line."
"Then... if we don’t transplant a kidney, how much time does my mother have left?"
"At most, six months."
"Six months?" Lin Yixun let out a bitter laugh. She had thought that the heavens would give them more time, but she didn’t expect it to be so soon.
Lin Yixun walked despondently towards the ward. Taking a deep breath at the door, she silently told herself: Lin Yixun, you must be strong. No matter what happens, you must be strong! Everything will get better, everything will get better!
She took the shortest time to collect her emotions and walked into the ward, sitting by Lin’s mother’s bedside. Lin’s mother hadn’t woken up yet and was receiving an IV infusion.
The cold liquid flowed through the tube, into Lin’s mother’s body. Lin Yixun suddenly noticed that her mother’s skin was sallow and her face gaunt, tortured by the illness to the point of being unrecognizable.
Lin Yixun felt her eyes ache terribly, and even her heart was being torn. In her memory, her mother had always been beautiful. Twenty years ago, she was indeed a great beauty, but now...
"Xiao Xun, why are you crying?"
Lin Yixun quickly turned her back, wiped away her tears, and pretended to be calm. "I just read an article that made me tear up for a bit."
Lin’s mother stared at her for a few seconds but didn’t reveal the truth. What mother in the world doesn’t know her daughter? She understood her own condition.
"Xiao Xun, I’m fine now. Once the IV is done, let’s go home."
