Chapter 375: Chapter 375 Severe Illness (1)
After Su Zixi fiercely grumbled a “Hello” into the phone, there was a long silence on the other end, with only the sound of increasingly heavy breathing.
She furrowed her brow and asked, “Hello, may I ask who’s speaking?”
“Su Zixi.” The other party finally spoke, “Dad is seriously ill. Whether you come to see him is up to you.”
After saying that, she angrily hung up the phone!
Su Zixi, staring with wide eyes at the phone, was stunned for quite a while.
He Jingyao’s gaze darkened slightly, “Whose call was that, what happened?”
“It was Su Lianxi…” Su Zixi bit her lip, “She said dad is seriously ill…”
“Su Guo’an?” He Jingyao raised an eyebrow.
“Mm…” Su Zixi nodded, “I think it must be true, Su Lianxi has no reason to lie to me.”
Even though she and Su Guo’an had already become so estranged as to sever their father-daughter relationship, he was after all her father, and blood ties weren’t something that could be cut off.
Moreover, even though he favored Su Lianxi and slandered and accused her, he did after all bring her up until she was twenty. Su Zixi could ignore him, but if Su Guo’an really was seriously ill, she couldn’t remain unmoved.
He Jingyao looked at her slightly pale face and gently soothed, “Don’t worry.”
After speaking, he made an internal call to Adam, and ten minutes later, Adam brought in Su Guo’an’s medical report.
“Severe aplastic anemia.” Adam handed the medical record to Su Zixi, “Mr. Su was admitted to the First Hospital of Yangdong City yesterday and was diagnosed not long after. Without effective treatment, he could die within six months.”
Su Zixi was deeply shaken, “That serious!”
He Jingyao took the report from her hand and glanced at it.
Adam continued, “This disease requires a bone marrow transplant. The compatibility results for Miss Su Lianxi came out today, but they weren’t successful.”
“I see… That’s why Su Lianxi called me,” Su Zixi said with a bitter smile.
Nowadays, Su Lianxi’s life at the Ning Family’s home probably wasn’t easy. If not for this reason, Su Lianxi would surely prefer never to see her again.
He Jingyao returned the report to Adam, “You did well, go back to work.”
After Adam left, he embraced Su Zixi and laughed helplessly, “You still want to save him, don’t you?”
Su Zixi’s eyes reddened slightly, “Mm… Will you be angry?”
“Why would I be?” He raised his eyebrows, “If you were indifferent, you wouldn’t be the Su Zixi I know.”
She couldn’t help but break into laughter through her tears.
“Anyway, it’s just a compatibility test. Even if it’s successful, I just need to some bone marrow. There’s no real loss,” Su Zixi said slowly, “I… still hope to save him.”
To her, her father was always a special symbol. If Su Guo’an was gone too, she would truly have no family left.
“I’ll accompany you to Yangdong City right away,” He Jingyao rubbed her hair, “He’s not going to die. You can be sure of that.”
Su Zixi hesitated, “Jingyao, I can go by myself. I know you’re busy right now, you don’t have to come with me.”
His hand paused, and he looked at her meaningfully, “Your father is sick, and Ning Yichen, as his son-in-law, will definitely go to the hospital to see him. Do you think I’d feel at ease letting you be alone with him?”
Su Zixi laughed and cried at the same time, “How could I possibly be alone with him! You worry too much!”
