Chapter 426: Chapter 426: No More Ties
After the other party introduced himself, Su Zixi still took a while to remember that this doctor was Su Guo’an’s attending physician. He had sincerely asked Su Zixi over the phone to visit the hospital again.
Su Zixi hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Although Su Guo’an was not her biological father, after all, he had raised her for so many years, and Su Zixi ultimately could not stand by and watch him die.
If her bone marrow could save his life, then she would no longer owe him anything.
Su Zixi told Uncle Li she was going to the hospital, and Uncle Li nodded, saying, “Okay, I’ll arrange it right away, but Master He is probably still sleeping…”
“It’s fine, let him sleep,” Su Zixi smiled. “He’s already met Doctor Qin and is sure there’s nothing wrong with him, so I can go alone.”
“Young Mistress, I can’t let you go to the hospital alone,” Uncle Li thought for a moment. “I’ll accompany you.”
Upon arriving at the hospital, Su Zixi did not go to see Su Guo’an in his ward but went directly to Doctor Qin’s office.
“Miss Su.” Doctor Qin saw her and immediately greeted her.
Hearing this address, Uncle Li, unhappy, corrected him, “It’s Young Mistress He.”
Doctor Qin was taken aback and obligingly corrected himself, “Young Mistress He, here is the situation. This morning, Mr. Su suffered another episode. If we don’t carry out the bone marrow transplant soon, his condition will rapidly deteriorate, and it might be too late for treatment.” He continued, “I know your relationship with Mr. Su is somewhat complex, but I am a doctor after all. I cannot simply watch a patient continue to suffer.”
Su Zixi pursed her lips and smiled, “I understand, Dr. Qin, you can extract my bone marrow at any time.”
“Really? That’s great!” Dr. Qin was somewhat surprised. “You are truly kind-hearted. I think Mr. Su must regret that you are not his biological daughter.”
Uncle Li, standing by, slightly changed his expression, “What?”
Su Zixi then realized Uncle Li was unaware of this matter and quietly explained it to him in a few words.
His brow furrowed even more. “Such a big matter, why didn’t you tell me about it? Does the young master know?”
“First of all, this is not a big matter,” Su Zixi firmly corrected him. “Secondly, I did think about telling him last time, but I never found the right opportunity.”
Uncle Li coughed lightly, “I understand now.”
Su Zixi blushed slightly and turned to Dr. Qin, “What preparations do I need to make?”
“None necessary, just rest well. I’ll go and slightly prepare the necessary equipment,” Dr. Qin smiled, immediately going to prepare the required tools.
The process of extracting bone marrow was not complicated. About half an hour later, Dr. Qin labeled the test tubes and carefully stored them before finally taking a deep breath.
“After you go back, remember to eat more iron-rich foods and rest well,” Dr. Qin advised.
Uncle Li nodded seriously, already contemplating the contents of the dinner.
“Thank you, Dr. Qin,” Su Zixi smiled lightly, suddenly feeling much lighter.
This time, she and the Su family had completely severed ties; maybe not having the bond of blood actually was a good thing for her.
At least now, she need not agonize over why Su Guo’an, being the father of both herself and Su Lianxi, favored Su Lianxi so much while treating her so poorly.
As for who her biological parents really were, Su Zixi was not insistent. For her, He Jingyao already filled all her voids.
